Report from Detroit

[Shaw66]

No game commentary.  We all saw it, and it was great.  The Bills are a good team, and that makes it fun.

 

Nice stadium. It was a pleasant place to watch. 

 

Noise all the time. They really need to turn down their loudspeakers. 

 

Fans were loud, at least sometimes.  They stood on defense all around the lower bowl, and they were loud until the Bills got to 14.  Then they were loud occasionally on third down.

 

Plenty of Bills fans all around the place, and all around downtown. It was a good showing. 

 

Best fan moment: The Lions showed fans in the stands a lot.  The cameras were searching for Lions fans in interesting costumes, makeup, etc.  One time they just showed babies being held in the air by the parents.  But the best was when they showed a fully dressed Santa Claus standing at his seat. He looked great. Then he tore open his red Santa jacket, and inside was a big, beautiful Bills logo!  Great job, Santa.

I will second Shaw's comments on Ford Field. Really nice place to watch a game. I was 6 rows from the field, and my ears were ringing when the Bills had the ball. 

 

I got a kick on how the Detrot fans cheered quite loudly each time the ref announced "#70 is reporting as eligible". 

 

BUT!  Aside from the Bills victory, the best thing about the game was the security guy in the section my friend and I sat in...

Dan Campbell on Heroin

I don't know if it's calmed down some but games I have seen there have the fans waving the damned 3rd down signs and half the people can't see the play.

i agree with the positive comments, though.

Those signs were only in the end zones, and all TV focuses on them.
