buffaloboyinATL Posted September 22, 2008 Posted September 22, 2008 haha awesome! had a similar experience with the bills backers ATL yesterday. we had about 50-100 people in the bar and while not so packed together as McFadden's, we were definitely standing on tables and jumping on each other, as well as a foundation shaking "3 AND 0! 3 AND 0! 3 AND 0!" chant What bar do you guys go to now? I haven't been in a few years.
TheLynchTrain Posted September 22, 2008 Posted September 22, 2008 Thats what was so weird for me, I really NEVER doubted we were winning that game, even after the TD and old fool Criqui saying thats game!!! Different team this year 6 Did criqui really say game over? I must have missed that. Was that after the higgins TD? There was still 6 and a half mins left in the game. He really is a Buffalo traitor.

There was still 6 and a half mins left in the game. He really is a Buffalo traitor. the exact qoute was something along the lines of"theres your game winner folks" and yes he said it, as I made my wife listen to it like 3 times in the next couple of minutes(game on tivo)
mtdoak Posted September 22, 2008 Posted September 22, 2008 Delilah's in Chicago is exactly like this (well, not quite as big) but the bar is packed, $2 blues, and the just a great atmosphere.
Golden Wheels Posted September 23, 2008 Posted September 23, 2008 Very cool video. Very similar to the mayhem and "fandemonium" that took place at the Harp in Boston yesterday. The bar was so crowded last week that they opened the downstairs dining room as well for the backers....and that was filled too.
Dennis in NC Posted September 23, 2008 Posted September 23, 2008 the exact qoute was something along the lines of"theres your game winner folks" and yes he said it, as I made my wife listen to it like 3 times in the next couple of minutes(game on tivo) Isn't Don Criqui a native of Kenmore? His sister Rosemary taught art at Cardinal O'Hara HS way back when... Don must be used to the Bills' horrible finishes of last year.
jayg Posted September 23, 2008 Posted September 23, 2008 Which bar? Nice! I was at a sports bar watching it in the outskirts of Richmond, VA, and was surprised at the number of people there for the bills game. I was in the corner, watching it on a tv with no sound, and whenever the bills scored/made a big play i'd hear a good number of people clapping, sounded like at least a dozen!
Bleed Bills Blue Posted September 23, 2008 Posted September 23, 2008 Wow, all those folks in bar beast mode...absolutely awesome. I guess I'm naive, but I never realized there was so much support outside of here in Outer New York...it's very touching, really.
lets_go_bills Posted September 23, 2008 Posted September 23, 2008 AWESOME! I was at the game and it was crazy there too. We have great fans.
Pilsner Posted September 23, 2008 Posted September 23, 2008 Just saw this on youtube, game winning kick with NYCBBB at McFadden's in Manhattan yesterday. Wow!! That's how i was in my living room, but I sure wish i was there!
Pete Posted September 23, 2008 Posted September 23, 2008 Holy sh-- do I need to get down to McFaddens! Man I need to get there!
jayg Posted September 23, 2008 Posted September 23, 2008 No sh--! Get this crowd to the Ralph and it would be over the top! Holy sh-- do I need to get down to McFaddens! Man I need to get there!
Drew026 Posted September 23, 2008 Posted September 23, 2008 Can't wait until I'm 21...year and a couple months I'm just shocked at the number of NYC Bills fans. I've lived in Westchester for about 8 years and its just Giants and Jets every where. Are a lot of the NYC backers western NY transplants?
Tcali Posted September 23, 2008 Posted September 23, 2008 Just saw this on youtube, game winning kick with NYCBBB at McFadden's in Manhattan yesterday. that was just amazing....-and then to check out those old games...kinda eery....
eball Posted September 23, 2008 Posted September 23, 2008 Isn't Don Criqui a native of Kenmore? His sister Rosemary taught art at Cardinal O'Hara HS way back when... Don must be used to the Bills' horrible finishes of last year. Criqui is a WNY'er and Bills fan. #1, he is getting up in years and I think has lost a bit of sharpness. #2, like many announcers with home team ties, he likely tries to overcompensate during broadcasts so as not to come across as a homer. And #3, yes, I agree he probably figured the Bills were done based upon recent history. Not that anyone could blame him.
DrDawkinstein Posted September 23, 2008 Posted September 23, 2008 What bar do you guys go to now? I haven't been in a few years. http://www.cheyennegrille.com/
Bleed Bills Blue Posted September 23, 2008 Posted September 23, 2008 http://www.cheyennegrille.com/ Ha, I see you've got the proper 2:1 Beer Variety to Screen Ratio down there, Doc!
The_Real Posted September 23, 2008 Posted September 23, 2008 Anyone remember the game a few years ago at Mcfaddens that Tim Russert showed up for? I was there and got a really nice picture with him that I cherish. That place is awesome. It felt like a little slice of home for me and I loved going there when I was in NYC. They were rockin too boy, damn. Looked like a good time!
Lt. Dan's Revenge Posted September 23, 2008 Posted September 23, 2008 Wow. What a great scene. It's nice to know that Bills fans from all over the country can watch the game with fanatics like themselves in great atmospheres! LET'S GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
