My favorite growing up in the 70s was DiRose, on Kenmore Ave near Colvin. Sadly it closed up.

We were parked very close to that RV. A couple of the Jills were in there too...

Teams eventually figure out how to combat everything - that's why you have to adapt, change, and "be multiple". If you do one thing and expect that it's always going to work, you will be unemployed soon. Rex basically admitted that teams had "caught up" to his defense the week before he was canned.

Never personally had a bad experience travelling to away games (other than the outcomes of most of the games). I've seen many fights, but the closest I ever got to being in a fight was on the concourse at halftime of the playoff game in Pittsburgh the week after The Comeback. I always wear my Bills colors, but am always respectful and try to establish mutual respect with surrounding fans early in the process. I root for my team but not obnoxiously and don't overdo it when something bad happens for the home team. In Chicago, a car with Bills stickers on it had a garbage can overturned on the hood - that sucked. Notable highlight: After the overtime loss in Baltimore I had a girl run up and hug me after the game saying it was hug a Bills fan day.

Things I've personally been involved in: First game in November 1970 at the Rockpile Being on the Buffalo News "picture page" in my Bills uniform 1970 Being at the first game at Rich Stadium Waiting in line for hours to meet OJ at a Radio Shack in 1973 Come-back win over the Raiders on MNF - 1974 Jim Kelly's first game in 1986 First away game - Bills/Browns Playoff game 1990 (birth of the K-Gun) Win over Miami to clinch division 1990 Playoff win over Miami 1990 51-3 Super Bowl XXV National Anthem still gives me goosebumps That final drive, the anticipation of the last kick Walking into our hotel lobby the night before SB XXVI to find the team checking in - ours was the 'secret hotel' The Comeback Celebrating signings of Chris Spielman & Takeo Spikes Being at the "snow game" vs Miami with my 6 year old son and having him refuse to leave early 18 years of TBDAHOTs HOF Inductions - JK, Thurman, Bruce & Ralph, Andre Memorable road trips (New Orleans being tops)

That's the part I'm taking heart in - that we're improving with the new schemes, and that the playbooks will evolve as we master the basics.

At the time, the wins over Denver, Atlanta, Oakland, and Tampa Bay looked like signature wins. But those teams are not living up to expectations this season - none is above .500 right now. With 6 of our final 8 games against teams currently .500 or better are we about to get gut-punched back to reality? I'm trying to trust the process and not compare to past Bills teams, but it's tough...

No way I'm giving up my seniority. This will turn around eventually and I'm gonna need it.

Staying over Thursday night, but the drive from Meadowlands to Rochester I do in about 4:30

OUTWEIGH! I see what you did there!

LOVE!

Coming down from Rochester. I bought with the NYCBBB link so probably a bit more $ than I might have spent but it's worth it to be among link-minded peeps. Fully expect to own that stadium by mid-3rd quarter

Change is bad
