It's been a home opener tradition for AiO, me, and whoever else cares to join for 10 years now. Our waitress this year said her husband was an ex-Bill who now works for the NFL making sure everyone's uniform conforms to league policy. She didn't say who, but I was thinking Joe Devlin or Ken Jones based on the years she said he played. Sounds like those guys have a good time together.

DrDawkinstein Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 (edited) Funny that the URL says "Fitzgerald." lol, first thing i noticed as well Great article. This is the type of stuff Ive been waiting to hear about our team (and specifically OL) for years now. It shouldnt mean much towards performance on the field, but it does. The better these guys know each other, the better they will play as a unit. Edited October 21, 2011 by DrDareustein Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bills44 Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 I know that Kaleta goes to some games. He actually has a Bills #36 jersey with no nameplate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UConn James Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 I wouldn't say this kind of thing is unusual on the team in years past. Just may not have seen black and white. I do remember some postings here from people over the years who have seen the OL and/or QBs doing stuff together. To attribute the success on the field to bonding stuff like this, as is posted below the article-proper, is a little disingenuous. I'd venture to say that every NFL team has some version of this; people get together to eat outside of work and they shoot the stevestojan. It's a nice color piece/vignette.
