Tremaine is literally a different species...
I have never seen a football player look like he does... he’s closer to Lebron James than a typical football player
just massive
How did he look in drills??

I've never hated so many historical sports moments in my entire life until now

I’m the opposite. I figured he would be good because it seems like CB is the one position the Bills have consistently hit on over the last 30 years.
I just didn’t know he’d be as good as he was.
I liked Winfield and Jabari Greer but I thought a lot of the other "big name" cornerbacks we've had over the years were overrated and/or prima donnas. Tre is already working his way towards being my favorite Bills corner of all-time.

I remember being disappointed when we traded back and drafted a cornerback yet again...but at the time I didn't know anything about Tre because I'm not a huge college football guy and I was just never impressed by any of the other first round cornerbacks we would draft but as soon as I listened to his first press conference I was very impressed by this young man and this time it just felt different. Then getting to watch him play his rookie season was a real treat...the kid was an animal, all over the field, making plays getting the crowd worked up into a frenzy. I'm so proud to have this guy playing for my team and cannot wait to see him in action this season!

There's a huge difference between very good and Dominant... and I do think our defense is trending that way but I would say still 2-3 years away from being Dominant

As close as I am, I've never been to KC. But I see it the same way as you...I hope to see a game there in the near future for their attractive game day experience. I've said that for years but can never pony up and find a traveling partner willing to pony up for NFL ticket prices. Other than their BBQ reputation, I have no incentive to visit if not for foolsball. OK has just as good BBQ as anyone, so...boo to KC.
Oh yeah definitely don't let my other post steer you from going to a Chiefs game...it is absolutely a fun football trip. The BBQ joints are delicious and were fun places to hang as there were lots of other Bills fans there too. The tailgating was great and the stadium is beautiful(I'm much more a fan of the traditional stadiums than the new ones being built these days). So for those things KC ranks very high on my list but as far as stuff to do in the city and nightlife KC ranks right at the bottom out of the away games I've done but I am one of those guys who can have fun anywhere I go so I certainly don't want it to seem like I am complaining about the time I had when I was there.

They rebuilt the stadium in KC and it looks fantastic. At least the feature I watched on TV a few years back. I have never been there.
Yeah the stadium was awesome. Great fans, fun gameday atmosphere. For a football trip Kansas City is a must...as far as the city itself I found it to be boring. The bar scene was pretty weak, not a ton of sightseeing stuff to do etc.

Funny you bring up The Simpsons today...I grew up a huge Simpsons fan, used to watch all the classics religiously but the quality definitely dropped off as early as Season 10. I still watched past that but they were never truly the same and then I just eventually got older and had other stuff going on in life. But channel FXX airs reruns all the time and I was home watching a few episodes last night and then just this morning writer Mike Reiss was on Shred and Ragan(local talk radio show here in WNY) doing an interview about his new book about what goes into making a Simpsons episode and they obviously talked about the classics such as Flaming Moe's, Mr. Plow, and Whacking Day. It was an enjoyable listen here is the link http://www.wedg.com/2018/07/23/shredd-ragan-podcast-monday-7-23-18/...he also mentioned at the end how the newest episodes are starting to receive positive feedback from fans again and to be honest the last couple episodes I have seen from within the last year or so were much better than what they had been for years so maybe the Simpsons will make a comeback at some point. Good thread OP

I live in Los Angeles so I have a different threshold for a fun city than I used to when I lived in Buffalo. I've been to a little over half of the NFL cities, but I think it's been enough for me to come up with a pretty solid list of crappy ones.
My bottom 5 cities in the NFL
5. Cleveland - I've had some good times in Cleveland, but the area of fun is a small isolated arts district (not unlike Buffalo if we're being honest).
4. Detroit - I've had less good times in Detroit. I think enough has been written about its status as an empty chunk of concrete.
3. Charlotte - This is a city that just isn't for me. Country music and "safe" conservatism means that their idea of a good time is a bar with all white people singing Kenny Chesney with the "wild one" of the group climbing on a decorative wagon wheel and being very agreeable when the staff motions her to get down.
2. Cincinnati - There are no words. It's just a joke of a city.
1. Jacksonville - I can't stand Florida as a whole - but my god Jacksonville was shockingly boring. The "cool spots" that locals recommended were essentially suburban strip malls. The city was barren and had less than a handful of bars worth walking into. It was a struggle to find a decent dive bar, and even then it was just a confusing hodgepodge of uncultured drunks.
Honorable mention:
Buffalo
I no longer live in Buffalo. I love the renaissance of the west side, the few things built near the waterfront, and of course the food. Depending on what you're interested in, Buffalo can be incredibly boring though. I was able to make the most of my time there - but I have no problem going to diy music shows or midnight bike rides. Unless there's a city-wide ban on chicken wings Buffalo can never dip into the bottom five.
Green Bay
I've never been to Green Bay, but I've been to Milwuakee a couple times and I like it on par with Buffalo. I've been told Green Bay is way smaller and has no night life, so I have to assume it's got to be pretty boring, but I don't even know if it qualifies for the list. It's more of a town, isn't it?
That's the thing with Green Bay and even Buffalo/WNY area too from an NFL city perspective I lump places like that in as regions so if you include the Milwaukee area(where my group is staying for a little bit when we do our Green Bay trip this season) Green Bay isn't nearly as bad for lack of entertainment if you were heading out there to catch a game. Same thing with going to Buffalo with the options to cross over the border and hit the Canadian Strip Clubs and Casinos or if you are bringing your family there is the option to do things like the Maid of the Mist and the Cave of the Winds, Youngstown Jet Boat tour etc...if you lump the WNY region together there are tons of things to do.

Exactly. I was being sarcastic with my comment. You don't give up and wait until Brady retires. You do everything you can to become division champion. Even sweeter if you can do it with the best still playing at the top of his game.
I know you were, I was agreeing with your point...I was just piggybacking off your comment and driving home the point further. It's amazing to me the mentality some fans have.

The Bills should probably just forfeit every game until those two guys retire. I mean they can't get good enough to make serious noise and there's no reason to risk injury.
What people are still failing to see is that we might potentially have one of our own kind of guys like that finally...Ok for the record I am definitely not saying Allen is going to be the next Brady but I have heard some say his ceiling could be a more athletic Roethlisburger. The point is if Allen turns out to be a legitimate franchise QB we will be able to hang with anybody else out there with the defense we are going to have as well.

This whole thread just makes me want to travel back in time and play some backyard football, street hockey and shoot some hoops out in the driveway with my best buds

Green bay, just the "city" of Green bay has to be hands down the least interesting of all.
However, if you're going to the game, I'd recommend going to the packer museum in the stadium and tailgating/hanging out in the nearby stadium area for a couple hours before the game. There is a large bar or two within walking distance of the stadium and fun on game days. Not sure if the museum is open on game day or if it is it's packed (pun intended) and tough to get in. For an evening Saturday night you can have fun in Green bay. You can only be in one bar at a time no matter where you are and Green Bay has its share. The fried walleye in the area is top notch.
Cincinnati? Nah, get down by the water, it's great. Montgomery Inn for BBQ, great.
We are gonna head in to Green Bay Saturday before the game and get a stadium tour and I assume there will be time to check out the museum too. Is there any good places to get some Brats??

I have only hit about 1/3 of the stadiums so my experience is fairy limited compared to some here. Without totally ducking the question I ALWAYS have fun on the road. Miami is a great weekend despite the lackluster game experience. New England sucks for football. NY is cool. My sister is in Cleveland so we always have a good group. I’m not a big fan of Pittsburgh. Charlotte, Atlanta and Jacksonville were fun. Houston isn’t the most fun place but had a good time there. New Orleans ended up being more of a job for me with the party. We had a great time but there was just so much prep that we didn’t get enough of a chance to enjoy it.
If if you are doing road games (which I highly recommend) connect with the Bills Backers and you’ll have a blast. There are a bunch of places I still want to go.
What ones are at the top of your list? For me the #1 has to be NOLA especially since I have never been there before but it looks like an amazing city for a football trip with the boys. Next on my list is Green Bay but I am actually doing that one this year. Can't wait to experience the tailgating and stadium there. After that for me would probably be Seattle.

Buffalokie's thread gave me the idea to debate the most fun NFL cities for road games?

What NfL cities have far less to offer than Buffalo?
Kansas City was really boring. I didn't think it offered anything more exciting than what you would find in Buffalo. The BBQ was great so the food aspect was a wash. Cleveland is like going to a slightly bigger Buffalo but without the kick ass food spots so I would consider that pretty even. I'm sure Green Bay doesn't stand out as a more exciting city than Buffalo either.

Are we talking football trip?!? If so Buffalo is nowhere near that list. That is one of the best trips. I thought we were talking as a city all year.
Yes football trip! LOL...ok that makes me feel much better about your original reply now haha
Just now, BUFFALOKIE said:Yes, overall city. We all know the football aspect. Where would be 32nd city you would visit for anything other than foolsball?
Oh Geez I've misinterpreted this whole topic from the start
When you said NFL city I thought you were talking about the experience of heading out to that city for an NFL weekend, I may have inadvertently hi-jacked your original topic a bit, my apologies!

Yeah, disagree with Buffalo too. Every time I brought someone to a game and partied the weekend before they all had an excellent time.
Some folks like to bash the area, pretty unwarranted in my opinion. Maybe they haven’t done much traveling to compare?
Exactly. I know Buffalo is an away game destination for fans of other teams because of the atmosphere the area and the stadium have. I have been in big cities before wearing a Bills hat and have had people strike up conversations with me saying that they really wanna make it out to Buffalo for a game someday

Buffalo is up there although is much better than it was. Detroit, GB, Cincinatti, Oakland and Jacksonville are all in the mix.
Well obviously Buffalo wouldn't be paradise for a pure vacation but is it really that boring for a football trip? There are lots of bars and awesome places to go out and get pub food(having awesome food spots is a big plus any football trip), if it's just the boys going you can catch the Canadian Ballet(which I know is a huge draw when out of towners come in for Bills games) we've got some Casinos in the area and just the nature of Buffalo filled with passionate football fans everywhere I would like to think Buffalo would be considered a fun city for a football game.

Great team, but Green Bay as a city is not that cool.
My group is doing Green Bay this year for our Bills trip but we have decided to stay in Milwaukee first to hang out and party as it seems there really isn't much else going on in Green Bay
