I’m going to the game next week. We bought club seats in late summer for $225. They are $600+ now.

Win the Super Bowl.

I’m in the camp that thinks Tre has done enough for our team to get the benefit of the doubt here. It has been a year; the expectation is that he is ready based on other similar injury and recovery times. Ford field can be tricky. Let’s see if he is ready for games after this one.

I miss the days of Grateful Dead. ☮️

The Chophouse has been closed on Sundays. We stay at the Hyatt and used to walk to the Chophouse, There were almost always Bills players there after games.

This Tua thing is what made me give up watching boxing.

We go to 1 or 2 games a year. I’m getting older (65), and I’ve sat all over the stadium. About 10 - 15 years ago, we started buying club seats off the secondary market. We’re much happier there now. I wouldn’t be able to stand a whole game, nor would I want to. Big plays, big third downs, of course we stand and cheer. I’m lucky to be in a financial situation that allows it.

I’m not with the talk that missing Davis won’t be a big deal. That undervalues Davis. The Bills can definitely overcome it, but he will be missed.

Obviously, I agree. He will take little swing passes for ten or fifteen yards whenever Josh needs him.

Always respected him. I hope this time is peaceful for him and his family. I was a fan of his, and I liked Hank and the whole team really. The 60’s were odd (for a number of reasons). I was young and a fan of Cleveland, Buffalo, Dallas and Kansas City at different times.

Shelly Winters wasn’t round when she was young.

Sad news. RIP.

Let me clarify this because it obviously struck a nerve. We are called the Bills Mafia, not my chosen term but so be it. When I see a guy with a Bills hat on, I say something like, "Go Bills". When I drive by a house with a Bills flag, I feel a connection. I don't know the guy, but I know we share a love for the Bills. We are like a big family, which, I think, is meaning of the term Bills Mafia. I include the Bills fans, players, coaches, staff and owners in this "family". I particularly like the current owners. I live in Fairport, so I feel a connection to Kim, although I don't know her personally. Maybe I'm a sensitive guy, but when my friends are "hurting" by extension I'm hurting. I don't mean to say she is literally like family to me; I simply feel for her and her family and you, our Bills Mafia. I'm not crying in my soup. I'm just trying to understand how we can claim to be a part of this Bills Mafia but not be hurting for each other when something serious could be happening here. That's it.

You pray for her, but you are not hurting? So you don’t feel sad the Pegula family is worried about her, and by extension, the whole Bills family is worried? That is what family does: worries about each other. Odd is the right word alright.

One of the many pleasures of being a Bills fan is being a part of what has come to be called the Bills Mafia. One of our leaders is hurt, and as this thread shows, when one of us is hurting, we all are hurting. Get Well Soon, Kim.

Maybe I'm getting old, but I don't understand the reference. I really like the Grateful Dead (went to about 40 shows from '73 - '90, several in Buffalo at the stadium like the one with 10,000 Maniacs and the one with Dylan, and at the Aud and a great one at Shea). I haven't seen Dead and Co., but the music is good, although I think we all miss Jerry. Is this something about John Mayer? Honestly, I'm confused. Okay - I am getting old. I re-read the title 🤪

Let’s not get ahead of ourselves in this comparison. You’re taking one of the best ever’s tag line here.

No to Gilmore. I didn’t like his attitude on his way out.

Got me

Colleges should be embarrassed to graduate someone who communicates like that. It seems that no one, people or institutions, have any shame anymore.

The Bills traded a ton for Sammy. What did that get us? I’d love to have a great #2 corner, too, but sticking near the allotted picks each year seems more prudent than trying to catch lightning in a bottle.

I had a housemate in college. Joe was his name. He was not happy unless he was miserable. Is that you, Joe?

I usually still get to one game a year. We always celebrate by going to the Buffalo Chophouse for dinner after. We see Bills players there every year! Bring your wallet.

I'm so sorry about your loss. My mother is in her 80's. I know I'll be devastated when something bad happens. You are in my prayers.

Fitz - Very sorry news. You and your family are in my prayers.
