Albany,n.y.

There's no place to play one. The college stadiums are all way too small. In the 1990s there was a train that went across the state for some Bills home games (The Bills Express), starting in Rensselaer and stopping in Schenectady, Utica, Syracuse, & Rochester. It would arrive in Depew & fans would be bused to Orchard Park. There was even talk of adding a train station in OP for game day fans to arrive by train. As the Bills stopped making the playoffs, the train attendance went down to the point it was not economically feasible to continue operating it. I remember being on one of the last train rides. The train only had 2 cars. When I arrived at the Schenectady station to wait for the train nobody else was there. Eventually a few more people showed up before the train arrived, but it was pretty obvious that the Bills bandwagon had slowed quite a bit in the Capital District. We still have the 3rd biggest following behind the Giants (clearly #1) and the Jets. The good news is no matter how successful they are, the Patriots have never been able to pass the Bills in popularity in our area. That's probably because NE is in a different state so there aren't any state employee transfers from Massachusetts to Albany as there are from parts of WNY & because of SUNY & other colleges the odds are a lot better that some WNY students came here to go to school & stayed in our area while others went to college in WNY before ending up in Albany.

The interesting thing about this season, with 3 of the class of 2018 1st round QBs in the AFC East & the schedule having the East play the AFC North is that NE plays all 5 2018 1st round QBs. They'll probably make them all look pretty bad. That's what NE does to young QBs. It doesn't mean anything long-term. I guess today is a day for Bills fans to point to Darnold and laugh. Next week it will be Baker Mayfield's turn to look bad with Jackson not that far behind on the schedule. The best thing for fans to do after their 2nd year QB looks like garbage against NE is R-E-L-A-X. The 2019 Patriots may be one of the greatest Ds of all time. Fortunately, nobody has to play them every week. In what was the worst game of his Super Bowl season, Joe Namath was horrible vs the Bills. Sometimes a QB just has a bad day. Unfortunately NE's D is giving their opponent's QB his bad day every week.

The one thing in the video that the guy got wrong: It is much easier for someone in Albany to go to MetLife stadium than to New Era stadium. The drive is about half the distance and even the ticket prices aren't much different. I went to the Bills 1st 2 games in NJ. I'm going to the Eagles game this Sunday. Because of the demand, the game in Buffalo will cost me more than either of the 2 games I went to in NJ & those were both teams' home openers. You've been going to the wrong stores. Yes the big chains like Dick's (properly named) don't sell Bills stuff, but the smaller ones do. Last year I went to Crossgates & couldn't get a Josh Allen jersey at Dick's, but there was a smaller store in the mall that had the Allen jersey that I bought.

I know this won't be a popular opinion but here it goes: When I sit in the endzone & clowns like the OP pound on the back of the seat in front of them it shakes my seat, several seats away. Pound on your own seat next time instead of annoying people around you. I'm sitting in section 212 next week & I'm glad to hear that seat pounding clowns are looked down upon there.

Then bet the game when the time comes. Win the division.

WRONG!!!! You are what your record says you are. The Bills have the 2nd best record in the AFC, they are better than the Colts BECAUSE THE RECORDS SAY SO. Logic 101.

Henry Jones also ran an onside kick back for a TD in 1999. A 10 point lead is safer than a 3 point lead. If you fumble a snap you can still lose the game trying to run the clock out. 10 points guarantees they need 2 scores. Ironically the score was identical. 24-21 before the kick, 31-21 after and the final score. Here's a link to the story of the day Jones ran the onside kick in for those to young, too old or who didn't see the game in 1999. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/bills-ground-cardinals/

Thanks. It worked while the WGR Radio.com bookmark I have didn't.

I can't get it on the computer

Special teams. Yeldon not needed with Motor back. Harry has been on IR for weeks now.

The most effective method we have on 3rd or 4th & a yard is a Josh Allen sneak. I hope you're not suggesting the Bills should be giving up on one of their highest percentage plays. NE & Brady have been using it for 2 decades & he's never been injured on a QB sneak.

Why would anyone want AJ Green at the Shawne Merriman point of his career?

Why does anyone want him back? In the NFL the most important ability is availability and while Glenn has some ability it's to no avail.

Another part of his game was as a 2 way player. Occasionally they would play him on the offensive line.

According to Mitchell Byars of the Boulder Daily Camera, Bannan was arrested on a number of charges, including first-degree assault and first-degree burglary after the shooting of a woman. The 40-year-old Bannan played 12 years in the league, with the Bills, Ravens, Broncos, Rams, and Lions. According to Boulder police, the woman was shot and transported to the hospital with non-life threatening injuries. Police believe the woman and the alleged shooter know each other, but aren’t clear what led to the shooting. https://www.msn.com/en-us/sports/nfl/former-nfl-lineman-justin-bannan-arrested-for-attempted-murder/ar-AAIVYU6?ocid=spartandhp

Winston is playing worse than the guy he replaced at Florida State. EJ sees this and he may be thinking of un-retiring.

Here's another opportunity for me to rail against QB stats. On a recent Dan Patrick show Patrick said the Bills were winning in spite of their QB. He then cited Allen's TD/INT ratio. A TD/INT ratio is irrelevant when a team chooses to run into the endzone instead of passing. A TD drive is a TD drive no matter how it is achieved. A more important stat is # of TD drives, and their length. It doesn't mean anything if Allen tosses to a wide open Lee Smith, runs it in himself or hands off to Gore or Singletary for the TD. A TD drive is a TD drive, period.

With Leif Larsen available, no way.

No

At the casino in Schenectady they have kiosks where you can bet without a teller. If I wanted to bet a large amount I'd bet it separately at the kiosk. One thing they do is the teller is only authorized to cash less than $1,000 so I'd break the bets into smaller amounts. I don't know if they have some system on the kiosks that would stop someone putting a big bet in at a few kiosks broken down into $500 increments. I was able to put the $1,400 in bets at the kiosks, but if I wanted to do it at the window with a teller they wanted me to apply for a rewards card.

I bet $1,400 on various combos of Bills wins the week the season started before any games were played. The photo of the tickets is too big (# of MB) to paste here. My bets were: > 6.5 wins (-200) $400 bet return $600 > 7.5 wins (+100) $400 bet return $800 > 8.5 wins (+200) $400 bet return $1,200 Make playoffs (+325)$200 bet return $850 If the Bills win 9 or more games & make the playoffs I win $2,050 on my $1,400 bet for a return of $3,450. I break even at 8-8, win $1,200 on their 9th win & hit it all if they make the playoffs. My tickets say 1/22/20 6:30 PM, so I guess I can't cash them until then, but I'll check with the casino before then to be sure.

Different jock strap?

The same people who only look at stats and don't watch the games will blame Mayfield. The same ones who blamed Josh for the 1st INT vs the Jets. Stat boys gonna stat.

A steal to get anything higher than an 8th.

If Josh started a game playing like Mayfield is playing tonight, the (dwindling) anti-Allen crowd would be calling for Barkley and trying to figure out how to draft a QB in the next draft.
