Right. So he didn't catch it, advance the ball a few steps forward, and then toss it to no one, then stand there as the kicking team recovered the ball, and it wasn't ruled a TD on the field, and subsequently the back judge, who is the only person on the field who can make the call, wasn't overruled by mysterious mechanisms involving back up officials thus negating any chance for video review and the correct call being made on the field of play. So in other words, this hasn't happened ever in the history of NFL football and is therefore significant.

Here's one.

How was it ruled these multiple times?

I was screaming about that at the game. I have never seen that before.

Most places will sacrifice quality for fast service. They start with wet skinned wings, drop order after order without letting oil to come back up to temp, and then don't adjust timing to compensate for lower oil temp. Thats my guess. Never worked a day in the restaurant or bar business.

A Bills fan down here in Houston used to order wings naked with sauce on the side. It was about the only way to enjoy a crunchy wing. Its just not the same and its a sad state of affairs.

Well *****. I need to visit PPP more often.

That article blew my mind. How have I never heard any of this?

I think OP's point is that Tre specifically said Kevin Johnson will be covering the right side of the field which could mean Levi is out. And yes, we play a lot of zone. I don't think Tre has ever had an assignment to cover one WR no matter where he lines up. Could be wrong. Tre didn't Shadow Hopkins last year.

Thank you, but all credit goes to Katie O'Brien, El Presidente of the Houston Bills Backers and mastermind of this weekend's festivities. She has put in a ton of work organizing this on short notice. For those attending, if you get a chance to meet her please give her a quick thank you. I am just trying to help get the word out and give everyone the info they need to have the best time possible here in my adopted home city.

It looks like the visitors side is more expensive than the home side for similar seats right now. Could be nothing but seems telling to me.

After a long night of drinking I wake up disoriented, confused, and likely angry to the sound of my alarm at 6:30 - 7 AM. Spend a few minutes wondering what day it is and why my alarm is going off. See on my phone display that its Saturday and go back to bed annoyed but relieved that I can sleep in. Wake up 3 minutes later in a panic remembering that its game day and I got a lot of stuff to do. Frantically shower, get dressed, and ready for pick up. Pile the rest of the tailgate provisions into my buddies car and head to NRG. Hopefully, park, unload and mark out our territory with our urine. And also with our tent and table. Its now 8:15. I make a dumb joke about pitching a tent in the lot and in my pants and wait for the laugh. Seconds of silence go by but I'm not budging. He finally lets out a weak chuckle but its forced. Success! Crack my first beer. Its now 8:15 AM. Text my friends a pic of my open beer with a time stamp. YOLO. No one responds. They're all haters. 9 -9:15 AM high fives! 9:15 - 9:30 low fives! 10:30 AM, time to reheat the meat and give it some smoke. The grill is too damn small. I told you it was too damn small!!! McGuyver some stuff. 10:30 - 11 AM, lots of swearing. 11 AM the girls arrive. Re-mark our territory with fresh urine. 11:30 make meat helmets. 12 PM, woooo we made it to the afternoon. Peak tailgate. 3:35 - 6:30, watch football. 6 PM - Thursday Celebrate.

There is no limit to the number of walk ins at the tailgate that I am aware of. There are limited surface parking spots at the main lot and an adjoining garage that can handle 800 cars I've been told. The lot owner also owns other nearby lots and guaranteed us he can handle all excess if the main lot is filled.

Dirt Bar fits the bill, is close to Toyota Center, but doesn't open until 6. Sunny's is a longer walk but guaranteed to give you a chipped glass and stiff drink. $1 jello shots too. Opens at 3PM.

If you're looking to pre-game in style, the Xochi happy hour begins at 4. Grab a cocktail or two and a dozen wood fired oysters. Their drinks are tasty but fairly weak.

For the ease of it, doing sous vide cue. Sous vide pork butt, pork ribs, and sausages, reheated and cold smoked on a tiny Weber grill. Will have extra food for all (some) you carpet bagging out of towners!

I hate you.

The party at Christian's Tailgate on Bagby will be going long into the night. I fully expect that you will be running into Bills fans at any bar in Midtown Friday night. Lil' Woodrows on Brazos should be jammed with red, white, and blue as well.

The atmosphere is more like a basketball game in NRG in my very limited experience. Texans fans are quiet until they are prompted to make noise with organized cheers from the PA. They need to contain as much crowd noise as possible.

The only issue you may face is getting charged entry again at the walk in price of $10. Not sure how they track who re-entry. I was thinking of doing the same thing.

First come first serve. $40 per car. $10 for walk ins. Yes, last year was Yellow lot which is owned/operated by NRG. This is a private lot. Address in the OP.

Their sauces are tasty but its the wing cookery that is inconsistent. They double fry them which I like, but I've had too many lukewarm/cold and soggy wings from Pluckers.

Duke has seen action in 4 games. 12 catches, 166 yards, 1 TD https://www.buffalobills.com/team/players-roster/duke-williams/

Pluckers is very hit or miss but when they're on point they are quite good. For an authentic buffalo wing, that's the place to go. Wait times are often in excess of an hour and during peak times, quality suffers. On the less conventional side, Hay Merchant smokes their wings (and half the time fries them afterward) which are also great when they're executing (PB&J are my fave there). Its also a great beer bar with excellent food since its owned by a big time chef. Dak n Bop (located in the Museum District) serves battered Korean style wings. Sriracha lime and Buffalo hot are very good. Fuego's on Washington Ave breads their wings but they are consistently well cooked and crunchy (I loathe rubbery skin). Houston is a top notch food city but wings is not something we're known for. I would strongly encourage you to avoid wings on this trip and opt for something we do well.

Check out the Houston Bills Backers Facebook page. Many out of towners are coordinating (or trying to) grill sharing, food, and beverage. You may find someone able to help you out ahead of time or find someone at the lot mentioned in the OP who will lend you some grill space. I am considering getting a party pack of fajita from El Tiempo for simplicity sake (they're available on Uber Eats too). It comes with plates, napkins, cutlery, everything you need. Also flirting with the idea of getting a $35 charcoal grill and picking up a Killen's ready cooked brisket from HEB, some bread, and sauce, and reheating. These things are decent in a pinch. https://www.amazon.com/slp/disposable-grills/f364vmk2ypr754p
