Teams Buffalo Bills - The Stampede

[samFFC]

Visiting Seattle for a couple days to watch the boys play in a few weeks. It'll be my first live NFL game and I'm pumped. Quick question though - are the Yanks territorial with their sports teams and mixing it in with oppo supporters? Will I be able to wear a Bills jersey without getting berated?

How was it!!??

Sorry to leave you all hanging, it was bloody awesome. I can’t wait to go to a home game. No one does it like those crazy yanks, I got proper goosebumps when those choppers went above the stadium during the national anthem. I always thought it was a bit wanky but being there it felt totally different.

Game wise, I was particularly impressed to see the defense reading plays and choose when to come up vs sit back etc. as it’s something you don’t really pay attention to on TV. Defenders have it tough for sure

It was also cool to see the running backs - in particular Cook picking cutback lanes and his timing on his runs waiting for gaps to open up.

Outside of the game I honestly really liked Seattle. It had some similarities to Melbourne in a lot of ways. Clean, friendly and just a good vibe. The only thing is the whole of downtown is basically on a massive slanting hill. Lots of uphill/downhill walking.

Trying to get tickets to the chiefs @ bills game now which would be awesome. I’ll post some pics next post

It won’t let me attach the video as it’s too large. Forgot to mention that it was wet and f*cking cold. Lucky I was sitting JUST undercover and to the left of where the rain was falling.

Thanks mate , great write up and sounds a brilliant experience.
All the Bills podcasts who travelled to the game all raved about how good Seattle is as a city .
So you've picked a good one there to go too

Well enough excitement for a Monday. Offence was very efficient but a few defensive concerns.

We did enough. The division is locked in now. Nice to put Miami to sleep again. This time in early November.

Yup, very solid win, Miami remains our bunny....just!
Bass missing 2 PATs, but nailing a game winning 61 yarder.....!!??

Again a good turnover ratio. Unlucky on the pick, Coleman will be disappointed, great to see him get the 2pt conversion.

What the hell did I just witness

BASS GOES BOOM

Thought the Dolphins actually played really well , probably close to their best and really made us work for that win .
Was a gutsy type win .

Injuries mounting a little now . Bring on the colts and chiefs can we hit the bye 9-2 ??!!

A little bored so here are my favourite Bills pods that I listen too or watch through the week . Worth checking out if you don't already . Happy to hear other recommendations

Locked on Bills- this was the first one I really started getting into to. Jo Marino would have to be as well researched as anyone going , most eps are in the that nice 20-30 min range .
It is on everyday so it can get a fraction repetitive , so I select my fav ones to check out - normally pre game , post game , herd mentality which takes questions and the crossover ep with the oppo host which are a good listen

Always game day in Buffalo - hosted by Sal Cappacio who is a classic and been joined this year full time by Matt Bove who is a good counter being a bit more even with his views rather than super excited all the time . I like the go with the flow format, they do a crossover too and both are beat reporters for the Bills .
Eps are 15 - 30 so again a nice time frame for me .

Shout! The buffalo football podcast .
Just started watching this year . It's very much a chat based pod and I really enjoy their back and forth views. It can be a bit longer , some eps head towards 50 mins.
But it's an easy listen , less stats based and they do take questions .

One I check out time to time
Buffalo Bills - this is the official one and has HOF Steve Tasker on . It's more down the line then the others but I always check out the eps they do with Greg Cosell who runs NFL films and Dan Orlovsky ex NFL QB who are on weekly.

Trap game tomorrow morning. A little thin at both WR and DL. It's hard to forget Taylor running all over us a few seasons ago but the difference is we only have to worry about him this week.

A few pods have it as their upset game .
Fair enough with our outs too i think

 

[samFFC]

Winners!!

But KC, seriously. We just have to beat them ourselves FFS.

Get past another banana peel game
JA one of his poorer games , still makes huge plays in the second half .
WR unit thin , still get it done .
Absolute junk time TD from them too .

We just keep getting it done . It's one of the more even seasons I can remember in my time following NFL.
Can we get healthy at the right time ???
A few additions just rocked up too

In all seriousness until we beat them in a play off game regular season counts for zilch .
Obviously I want and hope we win this week though .

Bring on those lucky pricks the Chiefs

What a pick, Taron Johnson!

Bump!

 

[samFFC]

Josh Allen is the owner of Miami.

But a great performance all round.

2-0, tiebreaker against Miami, long break before an enormous month of games. Could very well have played 4-5 playoff teams by end of week 6.

Point 1 remains intact

A handy start to the season, but Phins and Jets are not playoff bound!!!

Milano training window is open , reckon he plays game after the bye

 

[Biggie]

I love Matt Milano, but who does he push out?

Is in the best 5 LBs in the league .....anyone he wants

Reckon we may start playing a few 3 LBs especially in prep for Ravens and or KC in playoffs

 

[hoddo22]

Nice win but looked shaky at times. Defence needed to make a statement and 4 turnovers certainly did that.

Don't think for a minute that KC are there for the easy pickings. They've been ordinary but I reckon they circled this game a while back.

Would still love to annihilate them of course.

I hope we beat them into oblivion next week
