Alrighty then I'll add ya to the list! Did you get a friend?

I'm 100% on board with a win-now philosophy, regardless of the motivations for it.

That's to be finalized but we both agree it would be best if they can support it.

aloha!

Can we wrestle them?

So here's the latest: We're trying to come up with the best dates for this. It might end up being June 2-6 (when season ticket holder can buy up to 8 per game). I want to show how doing this will reduce load on the ticket office but also ensure we get in before it sells out obviously. I'll release the password to people on this thread first to ensure people who officially asked for tickets get them before opening any extras to the stragglers.

I'll add you to the list!

I did indeed. You have a friend???

Looks like we're a GO! on this. Details still to be finalized but he's looking for an approximate number of tickets we'd be interested in. Tallying up what's in this thread and IMs I've gotten I see 51 already. If anyone else is interested in guaranteed group tickets for the opener please chime in ASAP. The list so far: Seq004 BuffaloBill Lancaster Steve jboyst62 plenzmd thebug AiO Beerball Gugny Rockpile SDS

Fixed.

Do You Believe It?!?!

Getting a bad vibe from that article

You say this like it's a bad thing, Pooj

The former Opa! Greek restaurant on Jefferson Rd (which began life as a Perkins) is being transformed into a Tilted Kilt pub. Tully's must be PISSED. http://www.tiltedkilt.com/locations/rochester/contact/

Cheerleaders have no anti-steroid policy.

Iregardless of the motive behind it, it's their job to put the best team out on the field to win the most games the quickest. So one can debate whether they're doing it out of fear of losing their jobs on the sale, or just because that's their job. Either way I'm all for it.

We need us some 'Wow'.

Awesome.

I'd add that having a true power back will be a great advantage when trying to protect a lead. Being able to run the ball effectively even when the other team knows you're going to do it is something we haven't been able to do for a long time. An improved O-Line will also help with this obviously.

One other thing of note in that list - 3 of the 4 were home games (well, Toronto is debatable). Gotta win your home games.

How could 4 of those 10 losses been wins? Pretty easy actually... 1) Game 1 vs New England. Bills force a punt, getting the ball at their own 20 with < 6:00 left in the 4th leading 21-20. 1st down run up the middle no gain. 2nd down incomplete pass stops clock. 3rd down check down pass gains only 4. Bills take only 1:20 off the clock and give ball back to Brady at his own 34 with 4:31 and all 3 time outs. Defense can't make stop, New England kills clock and kicks game-winning field goal with 9 seconds left. Overall in the 4th, Manuel is 3 for 6 for 20 yards. 2) Game 3 @ NY Jets. Bills tie the game at 20 with 10:47 left in the 4th after . Geno Smith hits Santonio Holmes for a 69 yard TD 3 plays later. Bills get 4 more drive starts in the quarter and only get as close as the Jets 46 yard line. Manuel is sacked 3 times in those last 10 minutes and goes 6 for 16. 3) Game 6 vs Cinci. Thad Lewis throws 2 4th quarter TDs to tie the game and force OT. Cinci gets into Bills territory but defense stiffens and they punt. We get ball at our own 7. 2 runs up the middle and an incomplete pass force us to punt from our own 11. Moorman booms a 51 yard punt but we allow a 29 yard return to our 33 yard line. Cinci kicks game winning FG 3 plays later. 4) Game 12 vs Atlanta. Bills up by 7 and force punt with 6:02 left in 4th. Bills run up middle loses 3 yards then an incomplete pass stops clock. We then get called for delay making 3rd and 17 from our own 3. 3rd down Check down pass gains only 14. Bills take only 1:36 off the clock. Bills defense has 3 penalties on ensuing drive including interference in the end zone before Atlanta ties game with 1:31 left. Bills actually move into Atlanta territory but Stevie fumbles at their 28 with :20 left on the clock. Game goes to OT. We get ball and complete pass near mid field but Scott Chandler then fumbles. Falcons go on to kick game winning FG 3 plays later. I didn't even mention the Cleveland game where we appeared primed for a win but EJ got hurt and Tuel crapped the bed. Patterns seen/lessons learned (hopefully): 1 - we can't hold a lead with the conservative play calling seen here. Runs up the middle and check down passes... no way to seal wins. 2 - defensive/special teams penalties/breakdowns at critical times. 3 - Early games in EJ's career (other than Carolina) he wasn't up to the challenge of these pressure situations.

I'll drink to that!
