BillsPride12

I was in Green Bay for the game over the weekend and was chatting with some locals who talked about the two decades of miserable football that followed the Lombardi years and how it looked hopeless for so long...and then some young punk wearing #4 came along and changed everything...they were just saying to hang in there because it can change very quickly and it will be so rewarding. Just some outsider perspective I picked up over the weekend that I thought would be worth sharing here.

I know I'm a little late to the party on this one but this has been my first chance to get on the boards since I got back in town but regardless of the Bills laying a huge egg...this trip was amazing and full of memories I will never forget! Packers fans in both Milwaukee and Green Bay were amazing and seemed genuinely excited to see the Bills Mafia in town. Some even bought our group rounds of drinks! For anybody that is a diehard football fan it is an absolute must to get down to Green Bay for a long weekend and enjoy the experience, sights and sounds from such an awesome and historic NFL city. My new number 1 favorite Bills road game I've been to.

People forget how close and accessible Toronto is for these guys when they wanna live it up at the clubs and enjoy the big city life. People also forget about how much these guys enjoy hanging at the Sundowner right over the border.

It feels nice to have a horse in the race for once

We will sign him long term. That was the first piece McDermott brought in here. There's no way he's letting him leave. Especially with McDermott's DB background. Marv Levy had a saying back in the day..."I don't want pro bowl players...I want Super Bowl players".....Tre fits that

I know somebody who worked in the events department at the Seneca Casino in Niagara Falls and said he was absolutely brutal behind the scenes when he came to town...just a real miserable, rude, arrogant piece of s***....Glad he is finally getting what is coming to him F*** Bill Cosby...and F*** Pudding too!

If the Bills Backer tailgate party is anything like the one they threw in Kansas City a few years back everybody will be in for an absolute blast. There was plenty of booze and food to go around for everybody so don't get nervous. Just try to show up with at least a case of beer to contribute. I also have a feeling Bills fans might be taking over many Wisconsin bars all weekend just a hunch

Yeah absolutely. The 80s/90's were on a whole different level! I guess I was referring to the 2000's/playoff drought era and it is actually pretty sad that a week 3 win ranks so high up there but that's what we've been dealt with since 99. Another game that gets honorable mention though is the 2002 Snow game against Miami where Ricky Williams ran all over us but Bledsoe and Moulds had a huge day. There was just something magical about that day, looking back at it now that game was actually much closer to the 90s era than the current era and it still had more of the old school charm at that point before the game became over commercialized and social media showed up into the picture. Was at that one with my Dad and brother, a memory I will never forget!

That was hands down the best Bills game in the modern era. I also believe that Sunday's upset victory over Minnesota was the best game since then. Hoping we can shock the world again this weekend in Green Bay!

The thing that amazes me about all of this BS is that the people that have the power to get this changed are the owners and where in the hell have they been on this matter? I haven't heard a peep out of any of them

Anybody know any good bars in Milwaukee or Green Bay worth hitting?

He's definitely not overrated because most people don't have him highly rated to begin with but I certainly wouldn't say he is underrated either. Average sounds about right to me.

Awesome! Hell of a game to go to my man. Bills road trips are the best, I'm flying out to Milwaukee for this weeks game Thursday night and im already getting fired up.

Going out there with a group of 13. Flying into Milwaukee Thursday night. Driving up to Green Bay Saturday morning. Looking forward to lots of Beer, Cheese, Brats and hanging with Bills fans!

I see some early similarities to Brett Favre. In his prime Favre was the most fun Quarterback to ever watch play football

There will still be a ton of growing pains I'm sure but the kid just seems to have "IT"...the ones that have "IT" show flashes of "IT" pretty fast. I remember Brett Favre's first game against the Bengals. He was super raw but he showed he had natural instincts to play QB in the NFL. I really think we are seeing that with Allen already. I never once had the same feeling about Trent Edwards, JP Losman, EJ Manuel, or Tyrod that i do with Allen. This truly feels like the arrival of a special Quarterback for once.

Rosen is a Nerd!

I'm guilty of starting to lose a little faith in the process before today's game but I'm more than glad to eat crow and take my lumps today. Last year was no fluke, McDermott is the truth!

This thread has been filled with all sorts of entertainment. Can we focus on a different region outside of WNY every week and debate whether or not it's Bills Country?

The same can be said for some WNYer's as sad as that is

I don't think having a good culture is a bad thing but I'm just beyond sick of hearing about it. Did we really need to hear from Eric Wood that the culture here is doing fine? What we need is some elite level talent right now. This whole culture talk is starting to feel like a caricature of itself IMO.

A-Freaking-Men! I was just about to post that Culture isn't the problem here....it's a severe lack of talent!!! Culture is important to a degree...in the sense you would hate to see a team built like the Pittsburgh Steelers full of talent but also full of a bunch of divas which has created a huge obstacle for them getting back to the Super Bowl with this bunch....but at the same time we also shouldn't be trying to field a team with the boy scouts of America either. Some of this stuff that McDermott and Beane start talking about in regards to culture comes across so hokey and reminds me of something you would see from a high school coach. These guys have to really start putting an emphasis on bringing some premium talent in here. I'm not saying to bring in divas or thugs but lets get back to the days of building a good football team with good players first and foremost.

Tragic news, a constant reminder to never take this thing called life for granted. Unfortunately so many don't get that opportunity...just way too young

I would be excited with Bosa or Oliver but is there no clear cut legit Wide Receiver worth taking early coming out next year?
