silvermike Posted September 14, 2009 Posted September 14, 2009 http://blogs.buffalobills.com/2009/09/14/b...-by-fire-alarm/ The Bills players were awakened in the middle of the night along with everyone else in the team hotel the night before their Monday night clash with the Patriots. There was a false alarm at the hotel in the wee hours of the morning that had alarm warning messages blaring in every room for a period of five minutes. Security is tight at team hotels, but it doesn't mean that there wasn't a Pats fan behind it.
cmjoyce113 Posted September 14, 2009 Posted September 14, 2009 I really don't think losing a half hour of sleep is going to matter to these guys. I am sure none of them slept all that well last night regardless. I feel like this happened to the Bills at an away game last year to. I am going off of memory and could be wrong but I recall something like that I do believe. Not against N.E. but somewhere else.
R. Rich Posted September 14, 2009 Posted September 14, 2009 I think the conspiracy theorists are busy in South Bend this week.
Lori Posted September 14, 2009 Posted September 14, 2009 Gee. What a surprise. First time that's ever happened, I'd wager. Maybin tweeted about it at roughly 1:30 a.m. ...
billsfreak Posted September 14, 2009 Posted September 14, 2009 Gee. What a surprise. First time that's ever happened, I'd wager. Maybin tweeted about it at roughly 1:30 a.m. ... So Maybin must have T.O. as his mentor, Tweeting in the middle of the night? He should be nice and fresh for the game. Doesn't take much to get Bills fans going on here does it? Gotta be Belicheat behind this mysterious fire alarm.
MattM Posted September 14, 2009 Posted September 14, 2009 Ask yourself a really simple question--does crap like this and the horrible officiating happen against anyone else on a regular and repeated basis? I'm not saying that Belicheat or the Pats* are behind this (who knows anything for sure), but when you start getting enough data points pointing in the same direction.....

I can guarantee you it's happened to opposing teams in Buffalo... not that I'm admitting to anything

silvermike Posted September 14, 2009 Author Posted September 14, 2009 Honestly, I'm amazed it doesn't happen every week. Players stay at a local hotel, and there must be at least a few home fans in from out of town at any given local hotel. It doesn't take much for them to find out the road team is staying there (football teams don't exactly go unnoticed), and, well, fans back home for a football game tend to get pretty drunk. And drunk folks might not object to the idea of waking up an entire hotel to piss off a few rivals. I guess maybe they just usually get too drunk to even think of it.
Glass To The Arson Posted September 14, 2009 Posted September 14, 2009 http://blogs.buffalobills.com/2009/09/14/b...-by-fire-alarm/ So intentional!
Golden Wheels Posted September 14, 2009 Posted September 14, 2009 It's kind of funny if a Patriots fan did it. Shows that they aren't as confident as they would like to be.
Ice Cold Bruschi Posted September 14, 2009 Posted September 14, 2009 I remember watching an nfl films special on the '86 afccg ("The Drive") and Elway was talking about how Cleveland Fans were just driving around the hotel just honking their car horns literally the entire night. But yeah I'm kind surprised this kind of thing doesn't happen to every visiting team almost every week.

Rayzer32 Posted September 14, 2009 Posted September 14, 2009 Well maybe when the Pats* are here in Buffalo, instead of just setting off a fire alarm at their hotel, I think just setting a fire to the hotel would be better.
May Day 10 Posted September 14, 2009 Posted September 14, 2009 when the sabres were playing the stars, dallas stayed at the holiday inn on grand island. my friend has property right there. we would have bonfires and watch as boats accumulated in front of the holiday inn beeping horns and yelling
