stevestojan Posted August 19, 2004 Share Posted August 19, 2004 My reasons in order of importance: Losman, McGahee, Evans, and Mullarky. 43[/snapback] I was just asked the same thing by a non-bills fan, and i had trouble answering... can it be McGahee, and just that? because even with Losman in, that stadium was EMPTY by the 4th last week Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VABills Posted August 19, 2004 Share Posted August 19, 2004 Yes, Mcgahee is the real deal. People saw a guy last week who was play at half speed and was better then anything we have seen in a long time. When was the last time you saw a rookie RB blowup a blitz like that? When was the last time a Rb went into a pattern downfield? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nanker Posted August 19, 2004 Share Posted August 19, 2004 It might be a delayed reaction to the new Unis. Or, it could be Western New York can't believe Mike Williams is THAT fat. Perhaps the ladies in that part of the state truly believe it is Kevin Costner who's the new HC. It's probably because most fans want to flush the memory of the last three years down the toilet that they're gathering at the Ralph like seals on an ice flow anxious to mate.

Larry Playfair Posted August 19, 2004 Share Posted August 19, 2004 great weather, lotsa tailgaiting, poeple are getting pumped again..... hope there is a true reason to get excited this year, and I am not depressed after week 5 again. I still have legot cocnerns about the offense. We are still trying out nobody's for starting O line positions with 3 weeks until the opener.

I can't get the nulls to work properly, but I hope you get the idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RuntheDamnBall Posted August 19, 2004 Share Posted August 19, 2004 Yes, Mcgahee is the real deal. People saw a guy last week who was play at half speed and was better then anything we have seen in a long time. When was the last time you saw a rookie RB blowup a blitz like that? 54[/snapback] Say what? Ok, the blitz pickup was good. McGahee had a few good runs. But he did this against 2nd and 3rd teamers. In the first preseason game. He looked tentative and wasn't sharp on the cuts. I think he is ON HIS WAY to being good and / or the real deal. BUT, he is by no means better than anything I have seen in a long time. I reserve that title for Jasen Esposito. That guy is all over the bench and gatorade cooler. He is going to make a serious run at holding Tucker's jockstrap this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HurlyBurly51 Posted August 20, 2004 Share Posted August 20, 2004 I think the discounted kids day tickets had something to do with it! Buffalonians love a discount Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NEEDFREDJACKSONNOW Posted August 20, 2004 Share Posted August 20, 2004 Kid's Day is just good marketing. Buffalonians are so sick of the lousy summer we have had they're ready for Fall and Football now. And who doesn't like a great deal in Buffalo? Anybody remember the "2 for 1" ticket offer on milk cartons in 1984 for the Colts game? (OK I went to that one) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Guest Posted August 20, 2004 Share Posted August 20, 2004 It's because Ralph Wilson did something that tons of people have been begging for, for years....discounted PRESEASON games. It's about damn time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rayzer32 Posted August 20, 2004 Share Posted August 20, 2004 $8 tickets for kids. If you were lucky enough and had kids in the boy scouts, parents also got $8 dollar tickets. I know people that bought 10 at a time. 10 ticks for $80, how can you go wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just Jack Posted August 20, 2004 Share Posted August 20, 2004 Please remember, Mr. Wilson and the Bills Organization has to still make up the difference for those tickets, when reporting sales to the NFL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TigerJ Posted August 20, 2004 Share Posted August 20, 2004 I guess I'll have to go buy a half gallon of Turkey Hill ice cream. I can't figure out why they call it Turkey Hill though. I would be better named Holstein Hill or Guernsey Glen or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alaska Darin Posted August 20, 2004 Share Posted August 20, 2004 I'm not really sure - it's not like they needed the money. They haven't been the same since they released the Black Album. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
