  1. It'll be interesting as they could schedule this game for the season finale, but most likely won't be the last game at Rich/Ralph/NewEra/Highmark if there's a home playoff game. My only hope is that the last game will be AFC championship game, and the first game an new Highmark will be Thursday night season opener
  2. Schedule release day might be my favorite day of the off season calendar! I think CBS will do everything it can to keep the KC game, so KC@BUF will be a 4:25pm start in Orchard Park. So many good home matchups for the Bills that the league will want in Primetime. Cincy at Buffalo seems like a Monday Nighter. Fox will want the Philly game for a 4:25pm start on their network. A divisional Thursday night primetime matchup (NE or MIA) on the road would work. And I think Baltimore at Buffalo on Christmas. Seeing it's the last season at Highmark, happy that no home games have been stripped from us this year (as of yet), and yes, I think Buffalo in Ireland against Pittsburgh makes too much sense. 9 Home games to enjoy the last season at Highmark! And hopefully two playoff matches too
  3. Canadian Thanksgiving Monday... Turkey Feast!
  4. I want that Bills Dolphins to be moved to Sat 4:30pm. Would be awesome
  5. I really hope this game gets moved to the Saturday Night 8:30pm slot. What a party that would be!
  6. I see that this game has been listed as a possibility to be moved to Saturday (either 4:30pm or 8:30pm). There are five games with a TBD mark in the schedule that can be chosen to move to Saturday. Any idea when the NFL will announce what games will be moved?
  7. Just interesting how I see opposing fans attending a Buffalo game have been treated as of late. 15-20 years ago, someone wearing an opposing team's jersey would be subject to verbal abuse, things thrown at them, resulting in a terrible game day experience for those folks. I would actually tell fans of teams at away games I attended not to travel to Buffalo... was on par with an Oakland experience I see a change... I have to say a lot of it has to do with how the Bills community has embraced the Bills Mafia badge. Yes, we party, we enjoy, we do crazy things... but come and see and come and take part! Think it's great for the Bills franchise and Buffalo community. I now recommend anyone (regardless of favorite team) to go and see a game in Buffalo. And they should definitely see one before Highmark is gone!
  8. It's clear that with all the media attention around Bills mafia and the gameday experience, fans of opposing teams want to come and join in the festivities. A few years back, I use to hate the sight of opposing fans in the Ralph. The amount of fights I saw in the stadium is staggering. My tune has changed. People want to come and experience the game day awesomeness that is a Bills game. I've been to 20 nfl stadiums and only had one bad experience in Carolina (drunk kids wouldn't leave me alone all game), but in general have been treated very well by opposing fans. I think we should celebrate Buffalo being a destination for opposing fans, credit to the Bills Mafia brand and what it's done for this franchise. I just sometimes get annoyed with the amount of Canadian fans that support the other teams... and I'm Canadian! Embrace the attention, and show fans the awesome hospitality that Buffalo has to offer!
  9. All depends on the Border situation for many Canadians. We're very far behind the US with our vaccination push. Most Canadians won't have a vaccine available to them until September, and that might dictate when border opens.
  10. Jerry was very critical of a franchise that for almost two decades didn't make the playoffs, was a symbol of dysfunction, had marv levy and russ brandon as GM, went through the cash to the cap years, extended dick jauron, had people flat out quit instead of being part of a their professional football organization, couldn't find a qb to save their lives, routinely destroyed by NE.... off the top of my head Now seeing where this organization is and how a top notch football operation should be run, I actually respect JS more
  11. I think it's great that these qb's are the darlings of the nfl right now and so many so called experts said they'd be busts. Lets not forget that Mahomes was seen as a reach by a lot of experts, Wilson was a 3rd round pick and didn't join the pros with much fanfare, and even Lamar Jackson was said by many to be a WR.
  12. Anyone else who watched the game last night Thankful that Burrow is out of the AFC EAST? I was pretty impressed with his performance, preparing in a short week for his first 'road' game. Thank you Ryan Fitzpatrick. Loved you in a Bills uniform, but love you just as much for avoiding the tank last year! Keep up the good work!
  13. Really comes down to when games are scheduled. I have season tics, but for example the Baltimore game this year. That was a huge game... in December. Tickets going for peanuts on stub hub the night before. Should have been a huge draw.
  14. This is the perfect year for the Bills to implement a significant price increase. They're coming off a playoff year, and the teams that are coming through Orchard Park this year look to be big draws - Seahawks, Chiefs, Rams, Steelers, Chargers, Patriots.... and Dolphins and Jets.
  15. With the secondary market such a huge thing, every stadium is filled with opposing fans. It's the new reality of the NFL. Yes, 20 years ago you would see a few Miami jerseys in the crowd for a fins-bills home game, and it would get nasty. I saw some pretty nasty sh!& happen at Rich/Ralph/New Era. Now there more opposing fans, and in general, they're treated pretty decently in the stadium. I have seen the Bills play in 18 stadiums now. Always TONS of Bills fans. Look at the Seattle Monday night game a few days ago, tons of Purple in the crowd. Opposing fans travel and that's the new reality. There is an issue though with ticket prices being this low for this game on Sunday. This is a incredible game, and the Bills are 9-3 coming off a Thanksgiving beat down. I have seasons, and see tickets online for below what I paid. Not good.
  16. This is the biggest December game in Buffalo since?? The Steelers game in 2004?
  17. I picked up lower bowl corners for $55 buck yesterday for this game on ticketmaster. Crazy. Bills are 8-3 and there are TONS of face value tickets online. Going to Pittsburgh too and spent close to 200 bucks for similar seats. I know there will be lots of Baltimore fans at this game. I don't mind this, think it actually makes the atmosphere fun with opposing fans there. I just really hope this isn't going to be a Baltimore takeover game like the Philly game. That was brutal.
  18. Considering it will cost you over a $100 on secondary market to get cheap seat to Cincy/Philly/NE games, great deal!
  19. I have sold on the site and do not have an American bank account. A cheque in American funds was sent to me.
  20. I really think the variable pricing, along with the ridiculous fees associated with ticketmaster (even for non re-sale games) and stubhub has worked well regarding people scooping up ALL the tickets and putting them on the secondary market. It's really made it difficult for people to profit off the seats (which is a good thing!) I would say a thousand or so seats available for the opener, which in previous years would have all gone to the resale market. When you buy seasons, you avoid the 'fees' and pay less per game as opposed to an individual game purchase. Just praying for meaningful Baltimore and NYJ games!
  21. I hate seeing all the opposing team fans behind the visitors bench when watching the game on television. People who own those seats are purely for profit. Wish the bills would claw those ones back.
  22. Can't wait for Detroit - Buffalo week 4 pre season.
  23. This is a classic Bills video! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XNB1i2DQPJw
  24. Embassy Suite downtown was just on sale, so I booked for the Sat night before Cincy game.... Anyone ever been? Reviews?
  25. I actually love that we no longer have to listen to him throughout the offseason… Bills in TO, thanks Russ… you also made one heck of a gm
