tjwbills Posted October 18, 2004 Posted October 18, 2004 A few things I noticed at the game and about the team as a whole yesterday: 1. Its amazing how fast the game is in real live action, particularly Evans and Moulds. 2. McGahee doles out punishment everytime he runs the ball and is a very large back. He has the pure speed to get around the corner and run away from linebackers. How often do you see an NFL team run a toss-sweep? Not often, Buffalo ran it at least a half-dozen times because they know McGahee can get around the corner and he did yesterday. 3. The tailgate before the game always amazes me, the people of Buffalo come together like a family and its great fun. It was FREEZING! 4. I was sitting a few rows below the club level, and around the end of the first half I hear someone say "look, its OJ" and there he was in all his evilness. He doesnt look real, kind of like a wax figure of himself....what was strange is how everyone clamoured around him and kissed his ass looking for autographs and yelling out "we love you juice". Kind of made me sick. 5. Tucker and Price played fantastically. Good blocking all day. Big mike had some solid blocks in the running game. 6. Drew is a very accurate passer who throws to spots on the field. His passes that were dropped whizzed off Aiken and Reed's should pads almost as if they mis-calculated the speed. 7. Too many Dolphin jerseys in the crowd. I was shocked at how many there were. OT- One kid in a Dolphin jersey got pummeled by a mob of Bills fans for no other reason than his jersey. They were drunk and he was in the wrong place at the wrong time, I hate the Dolphins but these guy's were fricken idiots who should be barred from the Ralph. The poor kid was with his family.
Guest Porknbeans Posted October 18, 2004 Posted October 18, 2004 By no means am I attacking you. This isn't really directed at you either But I always love the just got back from the game reports. As if people have a better perspective sitting in the stadium over watching on television. If you watch in HD you see almost everything on the field

tjwbills Posted October 18, 2004 Author Posted October 18, 2004 Porkandbeans - No worries, no offense taken, good discussion. I watch all the games in HD and have for a few years. There's no comparison with real life because you cannot appreciate taking in the depth of the action on the whole field all at once, obviously when you're restricted to whatever position the few cameras are in its impossible. If we're on offense you can't see the routes being run out to completion until Bledsoe releases the ball. HD is certainly as good as it gets at home though

Being there is sooo much different its not even like you can compare the two. You can see the whole field, and not just what the producers decide. You can watch a play develop WAY ahead of time, and get a much bigger appreciation for a QB's job, and a good one, like Peyton. The crowd interaction. You can watch the secondary from snap to tackle if you want, something you can not do on TV. You can see coaches reactions. You can get a much better feel for the momentum of the game, and the speed of the game. There is absolutly nothing similar to watching it on TV and being there. No wonder people pay $60 to go see it.

Good to see that the real Bills fans still support the great one. GO O.J.!!!

I catch 2-3 per year live as nothing beats the excitement watching with the crowd unfortunately this excitement swings to excrement if they lose especially in typical 4th quarter action via gift to the opposing team. Also being at the game and "seeing everything" depends on where you are sitting.
