This friggin game… I rode on a party bus for 3 1/2 hours each way, split with a 50/50 mix of Bills and Giants fans who I had known for years (maybe 16 of us total). This was going to be my first game I had ever been to in person. On top of that, my buddy had a little sister who he was trying to get to date me at the time, and she was coming with us so I was looking VERY forward to the trip. Little did I know he had been drinking excessively the night before. I should also add I was 21, and my group of degenerates decided we were gonna take shots at 6am to really kick things off. We knew we were going to tailgate hard, but figured we would just get after it. We start boozing, and 45 mins into the trip my buddy gets off the bus to puke, says he can’t go any further and is gonna get a ride back. His sister leaves with him. Bummer. We get to the Ralph and I remember it was cloudy but actually not as cold as I expected (lol). I was in a jersey and hoodie and was comfortable enough… or intoxicated enough. The thing about me is that I knew how to pace myself, whereas not all of my friends did. We were getting after it, having a great time, and then the parade of tragedy continued on… Another friend of mine got so drunk that he couldn’t even stand up straight while he was at the gate. Do you know how drunk you have to be for security to not let you into a game in 2007? I do, because my friend was not even able to get inside the stadium. We walked him back to the bus and he slept it off the entire rest of the day. We get in and I remember how cool it was to be at the Ralph for the first time. I kept thinking “it’s way too weird for it to be almost Christmas and not having any bad weather. We go get a touchdown- woohoo! I didn’t expect us to be able to get after it right away. Then touchdown #2 comes. 14-0 first quarter… then the clouds go black. I legit said “I knew this was too good to be true…” Then the rain starts falling, but not straight down- it was at like a 45* angle, stabbing us in the face. Then the giants go on a tear to get to 14-17 by halftime. Every inch of my body is soaked, we are now getting curb stomped, and then the snow starts to fall. i have become a human Popsicle. 2 more of my friends left, apparently to hook up on the bus while the other guy was passed out drunk. Had my day gone better maybe that could have been me, but alas, life is unfair. That girl scored more in the second half than the Bills did - it was 21-31 and the Bills throw a pick-6 to seal their fate. Giants survive and go to the playoffs. Not sure how that ended for them… TLDR; I was soaking wet, then frozen, watched the Bills do Billsy things to lose, and had to ride home for 3 1/2 hours listening to drunk Giants fans dunk on me.

I wanted to bang the table but it didn’t give consent…

Gabe Davis 2023: 45/81 (56%), 746 yards, 7TDs Gabe was our #2 WR behind Diggs New contract is 3yr, $39m ($13m/yr) Mack Hollins 2024: 24/41 (59%), 295 yards, 5TDs Mack is our WR 4 behind Cooper, Coleman, and Shakir Current contract is 1yr, $2.3m So, we saved $11m, may still end up with 6-7 TDs by the end of the year, is a major contributor on special teams, as good/better blocker than Gabe was, and did this while seeing significantly less playtime than Gabe did. Mack has been, at highest, WR3 on the depth chart depending on injuries through the season. Sign me up for bringing him back for another 2 years, even if his price goes up a little bit.

McD probably mad he couldn’t challenge to help his record lol

If Keon was faster that would be a TD 🤫

wow… what a damn throw

Yeah he’s getting a game ball today. I’m glad we kept him

Woof, that was a bit egregious

that’s what I get for posting while at work 😂

I have a general rule that I, being the hater that I am, don’t want a team that hasn’t won already winning a Super Bowl before us… the lone exception to that is the Lions. I think their true fans have waited a long time for a team worth cheering for, and the organization seems to be made up of a good group of players and coaches. The one thing I don’t like about the Lions is that Tre White and Vin Miller both got hurt on that turf. Its Bills vs Everyone to me, but I respect the Lions and hope their team sees continued success as long as they aren’t lined up across from us.

Quadfecta: Super Bowl MVP too

Played like the Bengals. Monstrous offense, zero D

I’m fine keeping them out another week. I’d like them against Detroit but honestly I’m fine giving them as long as they need. The reps would be nice (especially for Coleman) but I’d rather have our weapons ready for playoff football

LFG!!

Josh Allen post-game speech: “C’MON BOYS, WE CAN ALL GET 2 SETS OF RINS THIS SEASON!!”

The big thing here is we have an experienced player at one of our weaker positions ready and available to contribute on and off the field if needed. Even if Rapp and Hamlin are playing well all it takes is one play to lose someone for a few games or longer- Hyde knows everything there is to know about this defense and is still capable of playing at a professional level. For me, I am most excited for what Hyde can do in terms of helping Bishop develop. Cole couldn’t ask for a better teacher to help him learn the position on this defense better, and if the Bills manage to pull this off and get the job done in February I can think of few players who I would like more to get a ring. Hyde was among the first signings we made as we began to turn the franchise around, and if he can still go he deserves to be part of this team.

Excited? Listen to it again, it sounds like he was annoyed he was going to have to praise a QB that doesn’t wear #15 for doing something good. If he had any enthusiasm in his commentary i might think differently. Didn’t realize my comment was going to upset someone so much. My bad Mr. Collinsworth, I didn’t mean to hurt your fragile ego.

Watching the TD lateral again and you can hear him in the background going “No, no, noooo!” What a doofus

You could make an entire thread of bad Collinsworth quotes. he even mentioned his man crush Mahomes after that ridiculous throw/lateral insanity. Can’t go 1 night without him slobbering all over him

How many times, Booker T?

CMON LET HIM HAVE IT

JEALOUSY, TURNING SAINTS INTO THE SEA…

Can he get engaged every week? Gat dayummmm

WTF DID I JUST SEE?!?

Enjoy this. I remember a time when we thought Kelly would be the GOAT QB for the Bills. Josh Allen is just different, and we may never see anyone this talented on our team in our lifetimes
