OCinBuffalo Posted November 23, 2014 Posted November 23, 2014 I'll be there yelling really loud! As will I, with my merry band of ne'redowells. What do you think? Over under 30,000? It's Over 9,000!
Buffaloed in Pa Posted November 23, 2014 Posted November 23, 2014 Not much. The Schwartz carry off and the Detroit radio urging fans to wear green. Jets second home likely.
machine gun kelly Posted November 23, 2014 Posted November 23, 2014 I'd bet there will be 40% Bills fans and the rest relatively neutral. Too bad we lose another home game after the Toronto mess.
gmp3 Posted November 23, 2014 Posted November 23, 2014 I think they announced yesterday that 67,000 tickets had been distributed (65,000 capacity). They anticipate some no-shows with free tickets, but it sounds like it should be a full house...or darn close. Living in Ohio, I got 4 tickets and I'll be there. Have to leave work a little early, but it'll be worth it. I hope they bring "Shout" with them...it is a "home" game after all.

I'm not sure how that is possible considering they will also honor the tickets for the Ralph and it is festival seating.

Per WGR, they will be playing it (well, we hope there is a reason to anyway, lol)! Not much. The Schwartz carry off and the Detroit radio urging fans to wear green. Jets second home likely. Yeah well, that whole thing is incredibly weak and embarrassing considering the Bills situation. And they can pack all kinds of Lions fans wearing green if they want, I doubt the players on either side give a F***.

If there is a largely pro-jets crowd there tomorrow night (and I doubt there will be, the average fan won't care enough) the Bills brought it on themselves. Karma is a heartless B word.

CodeMonkey Posted November 23, 2014 Posted November 23, 2014 That's what I think as well. Personally the Schwartz thing was overblown IMO. The story is that he said something jokingly in OTAs, the players remembered it, they were excited at the end of the game, and hoisted him up for a brief period of time. One of the Lions players even came over to him during that time tio shake his hand. This is a carefully executed plan to try to screw over the whole team. The Lions fired him, he didn't leave them. If the fans have such a beef with him that they think it is more important than displaying class in the face of tragedy that a fan base in undergoing and trying to take away the home game for the team that has been through hell this week, that is just poor. Get over it, Lions fans. I suspect the Lions fans don't blame Scwartz for it. Just the Bills players for doing it. If the Lions were playing at the Ralph under similar circumstances, would Bills fans become Lions fans for the day? Highly unlikely. They would be largely neutral, which is what I expect in Detroit tomorrow night.

Yep - even if they do wear green, they won't have the passion to scream at the top of their lungs on 3rd down when the Bills have the ball, which is pretty much the biggest part of home field.
YoloinOhio Posted November 24, 2014 Posted November 24, 2014 @ChrisBrownBills: Sounds like it's going to be a pro #Bills crowd here at Ford Field tonight. Jets getting booed as they come out for warmups.
