I was watching the game in a Sports Bar and could not hear the announcers.  It looked like McD pulled Lorenzo Alexander in a manner to get him an ovation from the crowd.   This was likely his last game in Buffalo.

 

How was the crowd reaction?  

 

Lorenzo has been an outstanding presence on this team and I hope he got some well deserved fan recognition.

I had the same issue, but would guess they did so.

Yeah it wasn't like anything Kyle got, but some of the more attentive fans knew what was up.  

 

When its your last home game AND you arent in the playoffs its more profound because you can announce your retirement and the fans see it coming.

 

His daughter doing the anthem was beautiful man

I was there.  Disappointed because we couldn't hear a damn thing and we missed it.  Poorly planned and executed.

 

So they did try.  I imagine the crowd was not very comfortable in what looked like a heavy rain.   Oh well.

Yeah but McD failed to inform public address Folks so they could make a big announcement but his daughter doing the anthem  was pure Class by the Bills and this will help,get FAs in the future.  Culture!!!!

How would you like them to do it? He called a time out and pulled him out of the game. That’s the way it’s done.

It was a great gesture and I’m sure it was appreciated by the player and the team. THAT is what counts. What did you want? Fireworks? What did you expect to hear? Should they be mic’ed up?  I thought it was awesome!

They did a nice job highlighting it a couple times on the broadcast, as well as his daughter singing the anthem. We skipped this game because we've all been under the weather in our house, and for once I'm glad I was watching a home game from my couch (other than the weather). I suspect if we had been there, we also would've missed Zo getting pulled and would've instead been asking WTF we just called a timeout.

 

My only regret about Zo is that we didn't have him for a bigger chunk of his career.

It is not his job to get the fans to pay attention.  Classy all around by the Bills today.

Well hopefully he goes out in a blaze of glory in the playoffs.  He’s going to be missed.  Maybe WGR can find a spot for him.  Anytime Schoop is not on the radio and it was him even one day a week, would be the day I listen to that show.

I saw McD greet him at the sideline with a handshake.  Could not hear anything though.  

 

The replay showed Lorenzo simply inserted his hand in between McD's clapping hands.

Somehow this is Allen’s fault.

He only brought him over one cup of water from his water station while giving other teammates 2... Maybe if Zo was more hydrated we would've won...
