BillsPride12

I don't remember this, what was the remark?

I agree that the Chiefs are a much better team than when we played them in Week 5, but I think you could say the same thing about the Bills too. Should be a fantastic matchup

It was an incredible night and well worth braving the elements for. I really didn't feel too cold but I obviously bundled up in layers and knew how to dress for it. The weather was much worse for the Colts and First game against the Pats this year IMO. The tailgate scene was really cool because there were Bonfires and Huge Space Heaters all over the parking lots and lots of people with TV's hooked up to watch the first game. For me there was a sense of pride in attending this one and I enjoyed reading some funny comments from people on Facebook who were content with watching the game from their warm homes(nothing wrong with that) and giving props to all the Crazies that we're out at the stadium. We had such a great time tailgating we were actually late packing things up and I missed the player introductions and Thurman Thomas and Jim Kelly leading the charge so I was disappointed in that but only missed about the first minute or so of actual action. The game itself, what else can be said? The Bills showed up big time and it felt like two plus decades worth of abuse at the hands of the Patriots was avenged. I myself couldn't help but to think about being in the stadium at the miserable 2007 Pats game where they put 55 on us. It felt like this was payback time finally. The energy was electric pretty much throughout the whole game. Most people stayed right until the end and gave the players a well earned standing ovation. For all the talk about the stadium was gonna be full of empty seats from my eye test I'd say they were completely wrong. Stadium looked like a full house and there really weren't many Patriots fans there at all.

GOOSEBUMPS

I hung out at the Big Tree on the Saturday before the opener this year and had a freaking Blast! That place is definitely a staple in Buffalo Bills culture!

I've never parked there before but yes people tailgate in that parking lot so you might be able to get the best of both worlds if you went there. Danny's also has tailgating going on fyi.

Or you could ask him what his New Years Resolutions are

Danny's and Big Tree are great bars. I would assume the bars will be more packed and crowded for this game than they usually are before kickoff because I am guessing there will be a decent amount of people that forego traditional tailgating to hang out inside the warm bars and watch the early game so don't really have an answer on what bar would be a sure thing getting a decent spot.

My ideal scenario

Does anybody know if season ticket holders will be able to use their plastic card to get into the stadium instead of having to pull up an electronic ticket? I do worry about phone issues with the crazy temps. I would assume that if you are just using your season ticket seats this would be ok??

If the Bills defense has a monster game Saturday night Sub Zero might stick

Don't think that it's meant to be a cute catchphrase, that's just these guys running on pure adrenaline

He had to have been borderline there, an image that I will always remember https://www.nydailynews.com/sports/football/giants/giants-recall-tom-coughlin-red-cheeks-2008-article-1.2937274

Me too. And that was a great football game. A real street fight/slugfest feel to it.

We are bringing a fire pit and heaters as well, currently working on getting a TV for the early game. Agree that this will go down as a legendary tailgate!

Great pic!

Thank you for your service!

Agreed. I have noticed and thought about the same thing a lot since this current run started. I think it's just a generational thing. Times are very different than they were then. Social Media is actually strong and BUZZING though with Bills Fever so go figure lol...Just different times is all in my opinion.

How many board members are going to be in attendance Saturday night? I'll be there...my first home playoff game! Doesn't matter how much I freeze my *** off wouldn't miss it for the world 🍻

Danger Field(because they get No Respect)

Maybe he will bring in Marv Levy

I remember those days

Hockey Hotline was excellent. I miss those days very much. RIP Brian Blessing

His explosiveness and quickness off the snap is unbelievable..reminds me a little bit of Bruce Smith

Unless this team wins a Super Bowl there's no way I'm putting them ahead of the 1990 or 1991 Bills
