Gainzo Posted December 27, 2008 Share Posted December 27, 2008 Yipes! Should be entertaining to watch pass attempts... Not to mention the huge crown on the field. I've read the threads about boycotting the game this Sunday. That is BS. Show up early, tailgate, and then make Rich Stadium rock. I know you Bills fans have an irrational hatred for the Pats right now but I had the same hatred for Kelly, Thomas, Smith, Tulley, Bennett, Tasker, etc. What comes around goes around. Look up the '90 to '94 seasons and what the Bills did to the Pats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beerball Posted December 27, 2008 Share Posted December 27, 2008 That is BS. Show up early, tailgate, and then make Rich Stadium rock. He really doesn't need any more encouragement, please don't name a stadium after him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jahnyc Posted December 27, 2008 Share Posted December 27, 2008 If the winds are as strong as predicted, any chance the game does not get played on Sunday? Could be dangerous if gusts really reach 60 mph. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CowgirlsFan Posted December 27, 2008 Share Posted December 27, 2008 Bills pass attempts are ALLWAYS entertaining. Yep.....and this was all the quarterbacks and receivers needed to close out their year. It sure could be interesting for all of the punters too ( minus yards vs 85 yards ) ALSO ..... sure makes that famous issue of the year DEFERRING after winning the coin toss.

Whoever wins the toss better pick the wind in the 4th. If they have an ounce of brains. NE* can't be happy about the high wind forecast. If it comes - and it seems pretty sure - it affects both club's pass game, and that will hurt them more. Knocking them out of the playoffs would be a more satisfying ending to a bittersweet season.

Hammered a Lot Posted December 27, 2008 Share Posted December 27, 2008 If you fly mylar balloons near the stadium early sunday afternoon, then maybe. The Bills put Jersey barriers around the power poles so Mylar ballons should be no problem. The problem could be the pole tents including the 20x60 foot BudLight party in Parking Lot # 2. Another problem could be that Pinto Kenny not getting cover with Mustard due to high wind deflection! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marauderswr80 Posted December 27, 2008 Share Posted December 27, 2008 You cry about weather for gameday come Sunday, you cry about Buffalo playing in Toronto Sky Dome for the Miami game.

marauderswr80 Posted December 27, 2008 Share Posted December 27, 2008 See you in Lot 1 tomorrow, right? Hammer I was reffering to the guy who posted this......and Lori, I wont be at the game, I have tickets but my brother in law and his friend are going in my place. I have to work, im a Developmental Aide for the State of New York, and I started a new position this weekend. Trust me I have been to plenty of game where the weather was terrible. I attended a preseason game in the pooring rain, I went to the Monday Night game in the freezing cold......weather dont bother a big guy like myself. Hell I played football in shorts 3 years ago in 22 inches of snow in Jamestown for Flag football nationals..... But for real I cant remember a time when the temp was 40 or above pushing January in Buffalo.......I really cant..... Next year id love to tailgate with you guys, if I have the invite.....

My Friends Call Me Tebucky Posted December 27, 2008 Share Posted December 27, 2008 Should be interesting...if it really does get that windy, hopefully the coaching staff won't have McGee playing 15 yards off of Moss all day. Edwards doesn't have the strongest arm in the world, we all know that...but it's stronger than Cassell's IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Come and find out whether I'm just as obnoxious in person. For future reference, directions are posted over on the tailgate board. And I'm not going to look it up, but I think the temp was near 50 when Rob Johnson beat the Colts to set up the Flutie benching (1/2/00). Wasn't too bad for the Pitt game a couple of years ago, either. In fact, I think I've sat through worse weather in October than I ever have in January up there. (This, of course, comes with the caveat that I didn't attend the below-zero playoff game in '94.) Don't know that anyone's crying about the weather, but it doesn't hurt to give people a heads-up on same so they know what to pack (besides the beer, of course) ...

Okay, I will since I remember needing just a sweatshirt for that game... From the 2000 Media Guide, it was Partly Sunny and 54 degrees at game time.
