    MENU -- Bills Home Opener Sunday September 8th -- ARIZONA CARDINALS -- What's on Your Plate?

    in The Stadium Wall

    Posted

    Found 3 whole Halal 50% discounted whole chickens this morning.

     

    So I said "Hella why NOT?".

     

    Made some homemade Southwestern stylee marinate and those 3 Oversized Cardinals are in the back of the fridge waiting to be put on the rotisserie Sunday Morning.

     

    Got a lb. & 1/2 of dried Pinto Beans soaking and will throw in a can of Black Eyed Peas, fresh tomatoes and red jalapenos from the garden along with some spices and bake them in the BBQ next to the spinning Uber Cardinals.

     

    I will make some Dirty Red Rice with Chili Powder & Cumin and the meal is done.

    If you are looking for Arizona food, Maybe a Sonoran Dog (Tucson favorite)?

    A Sonoran Dog sounds interesting.

     

    Pretty easy to make.

     

    The bun is a mini French Baguette.

     

    Perhaps a monster sized nachos which I can top with Salsa, rice and refriednpinto beans, queso, guac and fresh jalapeños, sweet peppers and tomatoes from the garden.

     

    Lay them out before kick off and concentrate on the game.

     

    Thanks.

    I appreciate many here have their own tailgate or home entertaining menus and don't theme the menu to the opposing team.

     

    That's Kool!

     

    For the others of us that like variety and theme the meal to team we are playing, what are you serving for the ARIZONA CARDINALS?

     

    We only play the Cardinals once every 4 years (possibly once more given the now 17 game schedule) and I can't recall ever doing a themed menu for the Cardinals.

     

    I know very little about Arizona.

     

    Never been there.

     

    Not sure what their signature dish would be.

     

    Any ideas?

    Definitely going to be tailgating. The last time the Bills came out here (that was with Rex and Tyrod. Close game but we lost) there was a huge group of Bills fans tailgating around the stadium. It was a blast!! I’m sure the Bills backer club of Seattle has something planned. I can’t say for sure though, as I haven’t watched a game with the club for a while now. I’ll let you know when I hear more. I’ll probably start a thread when we get closer to the game. Lots of Canadians come down being so close to Canada as well.

     

    Thank You Bills Brethren

    I’ve never waited until last minute out here in Seattle so can’t say. I already have my tickets for that game as well. Didn’t want to chance it. 

     

    I get that.

     

    You planning on tailgating before the game?

     

    I am flying out of Toronto to Seattle on the Tuesday and taking Amtrak down to Portland for 3 days and coming back to Seattle for the Friday and Saturday before the game.

     

    Flying back home after the game.

     

    Coming alone -- wife could not or would not (she is a Seahawks fan and is afraid of the Bills right now) get time off work -- so I am looking to meet some Bills fans in Seattle on Saturday Night and of course, during the pre-game Tailgate.

     

    I won't have my Tailgating equipment with me but I can cook.

    Absolutely. Morse was a very very good pass blocker, but the lacked the physicality & nastiness to be a truly dominant run blocker. I think McGovern will fare very well and I think Buffalo believes so also. This is why they drafted Davis. I believe we are going to see a run game that can close that can close out games in the 4th quarter. 

     

    I would love that!!!

    Always wait until the last minute

     

    That has always been my strategy and I will be doing just that when I am in Seattle for the Bills game in October.

     

    However, some have said to me that that strategy may be outdated given the rareness of paper tickets these days.

     

    Any posters here who have had experience in Seattle recently purchasing tickets for a Seahawks game at the last minute?

    This goes back to the point @biggerdaddynj made earlier: why not resign "Mr. Reliable," Ryan Bates--who could have easily slotted in at Center?

     

    Oh well, I am hoping McGovern figures it out, and this becomes a non-issue, and we forget all about Ryan Bates.

     

    I don't agree.

     

    Ryan Bates will never be a starting OL on a contending NFL team.

     

    Sure he is the perfect #6 swing OL due to his versatility however he is simply not good enough for the Bills who are a contending NFL team.

     

    I thought Beane had overpaid Bates on his contract and when there was an opportunity to remedy that Beane did.

     

    We should have drafted a Center in last year's draft in the 2nd or 3rd round however we have got lucky with a potential real starting NFL Center falling to the 5th round.

     

    I say start him now.

    I did a search here and not much came up.

     

    Yes, it has only been two pre-season games however I don't like what I am seeing so far from our interior OL in general and specifically Connor McGovern at Center.

     

    Since I never liked the idea of taking a player with so little NFL experience at Center being move to there as the starter perhaps posters more versed in OL Center play can convince me otherwise. 

     

    I appreciate Connor McGovern played Center in college however after being the starter in Center for one year, the next year he played his final year in college at Guard.

     

    Given this position handles the ball on each and every play and it protects our $250M investment in our QB, normally calls the OL play and is often the key to opening rushing lanes between the tackles, should I be concerned?

    EPL equivalent of the Bills

    I am a Citizen myself and it balances me as a fan given I am a long suffering Bills fan.

     

    As to a comparable team in the Premier to the Bills it is difficult given there is no salary cap and so many competitions like Champions League, FA Cup, Carbaro, etc. but may I suggest West Ham.
