NI Bills Fan

A lot of us saw enough in Elam to want him to start the season opposite White. Yes he had a poor showing on Sunday, but let's evaluate him over a bigger sample size and remember some of the upside he showed last season. With regards losing Daquan Jones, that is a real blow given his start to the season. However as I read someone else point earlier... If Poona Ford wasn't on our roster and Beane signed him today as a replacement, we'd be a lot more positive than we are currently. Let's see how it goes. At least we have a few softer games coming up to bring the replacements up to speed. Regarding linebacker...Hopefully Dorian Williams can make the improvements necessary with more live reps, because I don't think Dodson is it. Go Bills! Let's get to London out of the system by toppling the Giants. Side note... I hate the bad taste this London had left us with... It's the only game I've ever been to and can't even rewatch it! Great weekend though and met some great UK fans and folk from Buffalo.

Nice to meet you guys earlier and thanks BritBill for the Brick Lane recommendation... the food was excellent. Go Bills! Let's have a great day tomorrow.

Just landed in Gatwick (from Belfast) and on the train now into central London... plenty of Bills fans spotted already. Go Bills!

This will be the first Bills game I've ever attended. Feeling quite fortunate that the team is on a roll and largely healthy (prayers up for Tre). Can't wait. See you all there, Go Bills!

Completely agree... but we will need quality competition/backup for Elam. Benford/Elam/Jackson isn't enough.

He was on their injury report (neck) but practised in full all week so not sure really.

Conor Williams and Eli Apple inactive for the Dolphins. Eichenberg at centre for them. That's a plus for us!

Kingsley Jonathan active. Floyd's ankle injury must be a concern.

Elam is at least showing the correct attitude in the situation he has found himself in. Saying all the right things.(see below) https://heavy.com/sports/buffalo-bills/kaiir-elam-roster-benched-comments-reaction/ I'm taking the positive on the Elam benching in that it's not that he's terrible, it's that Benford is seen as a better option right now. Elam provides decent/good cover at the position with room to improve.

With the Bills Backers London main bar (Fitzrovia Belle) booked up to capacity, is there any info regarding where all the Bills fans who haven't pre-booked the Fitzrovia may be congregating? Is there another bar that is a known alternative to the Fitzrovia? I would love to take in the Sunday 6pm/9pm (UK kick off time) games with a load of Bills fans if possible.

We limited their offense to 16 points really - ST got their last 6 points. Can't blame the D (or Tre White) on the punt return TD.

Joe Marino's weekly pre game primer is always worth a listen before each game. It's the best Bills podcast for me. He gives you the info you need in approximately 30 minutes, fits into your day nicely.

That's a shame. Whilst he wasnt likely to make a big impact, losing solid backup for a position where the starter is of questionable quality is a blow. So what way does this impact the salary cap? Is our available cap now increased to the tune of his annual salary? Or a portion of it?

Thanks for all the updates folks. It's much appreciated, especially by those of us who aren't on social media much.

The travel agent that I bought mine through told me that on the phone about 10 or 15 minutes ago too.

What a nightmare. Sorry to hear that.

I joined the queue 20 minutes before 12. Around 230,000 in the queue.

That's a result for me BritBill, I'm a Blackburn Rovers fan, so will try and make that QPR match too. The wife had mentioned possibly doing something 'not sport related' on the Saturday... She may have to do that on her own now!

I got 2 tickets today from a local travel agent (tickets plus hotel). A friend had mentioned he had seen an advert from them yesterday... Gave them a call and they had 2 left, so snapped them up. Delighted. See you there boys and girls!! The hotel looks to be in a good central location too (Russel Square). Go Bills!

https://sports.yahoo.com/report-bills-brandon-beane-spoke-114551549.html Apologies if already posted... Didn't see it in the last couple of pages. Not much more info other than apparently Beane has had direct contact with Hopkins at some point. Not a huge surprise I'm guessing.

The camera adds 10 lbs... And Dion had just eaten 7 of them before practice.

Cheers... Booked a place about 2 or 3 miles from the stadium, the Royal Oak I think... Not 5 star but reasonably priced, was just worried with the leaks around the date that accomodation would be snapped up quickly. My nextdoor neighbour is a Raiders fan, so now he's on board too 😄

We will. I got some accomodation booked last week before the rush. Any idea when tickets will go on sale? Is it typically very soon after the schedule release? I'm seeing some reports of June but thought it would be much sooner.

Raiders on October 8th rumoured... No idea on how reliable the source is. https://twitter.com/tommllr/status/1655921842031304707?t=2tX58oe6Ecn3yMlvIdqeOg&s=19

Much appreciated sir, very kind of you. I'll follow that account and keep up to date. I think if I missed out on tickets I'd head over to London anyway for the weekend just to meet a load of Bills fans and soak up the atmosphere. Then watch the game in a bar somewhere.
