    I enjoyed the bye week. Went over my buddies place who has the Sunday Ticket and we watched the the Bengals-Steelers game and followed along all the other ones. Drank some brews and ate pizza and wings without having the stress looming over from watching the Bills. There were also some great games on yesterday....Hooray for the BYE WEEK :beer:

    No but when I was growing up late 70's thru early 90's it wasn't like that......for example......nobody would be caught dead at their prom in their duck hunting gear.

     

    The commercialization of the country culture has been very interesting to see, if nothing else.

    I know exactly what you mean, I've had the same observation and it is intriguing for sure

    Cornelius Bennett - HOF chances

    I have to agree that some people are selling the Biscuit short at this point. Although just a small clip, watch this youtube video starting at 22:50 mark. Keep in mind he was not benefiting from playing opposite Bruce during this time because Bruce was out the majority of this season. He could be an absolute force to deal with,,,

     

     

    I do think his biggest problem was dealing with lingering injuries, not that he didn't have the heart

    Cornelius Bennett - HOF chances

    Not HOF worthy and I loved the Biscuit. I certainly think he belongs on the Wall of Fame at the Ralph though. People always talk about the big 4 with the Bills in Kelly, Bruce, Thurman, and Andre but back in their playing days Bennett was always held up there in the same regard with those guys almost as if they were the big 5. I've always found it interesting Cornelius hasn't been given the same kind of hindsight appreciation years later that the other guys got. I think it mainly has to do with not having the longevity here that the others did. There's no denying Biscuit's impact on the Super years however!

    i was just listening on the Sports Hub (Pats radio station in NE) and they were mocking the crowd noise being any kind of factor. They said "who do you think we are, mike tomlin and roethlisberger? We can communicate no matter what. I'm pretty sure Brady has played there before. What a joke"

    When we beat them in 2011 the crowd noise played a HUGE role in that game. Let's bring it again Bills Mafia!

    What a Cast of Characters

    Yes the Bills have brought in guys with some red flags in their past over the last year or two, but I still don't think this team has the same vibe as the 90s Bills(which can be a good thing in alot of ways). From all accounts of people I know in Orchard Park who see the players out somewhat frequently for the most part these guys are very humble and don't mind taking pics with fans, being friendly etc and it really seems like now more-so than ever there is a college football atmosphere around town in WNY..which is awesome. It was not like that in the 90's....those guys were more like rock stars who were very cocky and truth be told back in their playing days didn't really want anything to do with the fans(as far as being out in public and wanting to "hang out" and be cordial with them; I'm sure they respected the fans and the atmosphere they created on gameday) The personalites back then were much crazier; a bunch of alpha males who were hard drinkers and drug users. They are considered one of the hardest partying teams in NFL history. Don't think our current squad is as wild off the field as many people make them out to be

    Super fans - Do you believe in them?

    If you were talking about the Raiders fans that dress up like its Halloween I would agree with you but really you are picking on argument about the two guys who wear Chef hats to the games? Considering they throw down a pretty serious BBQ before the games out in the parking lot I think they are entitled to wear Chef hats into the stadium if they want to. I think for the most part Buffalo actually has a lot less costumed fans than most teams. Our fan base is much more of a blue collar Bills hats and shirts/jerseys or no shirts at all kinda fanbase than wearing some elaborate costume. Face painting at football games has been around forever and I don't really consider people who wear those Bills hardhats into games as wearing costumes. Don't see it as much of an issue with our fanbase
