Growing up, I had the misfortune of being a Lions and Bills fan. While I have been to Ford Field (see A Lions Thanksgiving), I have not been to Orchard Park. The only time I have seen the Bills in person was in Miami (see Bills Mafia v Fins: Hard Rock Stadium Review).
This weekend the Lions are hosting the Bills in what may be a preview of the Super Bowl. If either advance to the Super Bowl, this may be the last time I see them in action due to the prohibitive cost of tickets (see Bills Lose, But Who Can Afford Super Bowl Tickets?).
Two questions remain: 1)Does anyone have tickets for TPOL? 2) Who do I want to win?
My issue with both teams is the sheer stupidity of both coaches. Let me cite two examples: Last week, the Lions were up by 3 when Mr. ‘Bight Your Knee Caps’ decided to go for it on 4th down on his own 25. It didn’t work out and Green Bay ended up scoring a touchdown and going ahead. It took another ill-advised 4th down conversion for the Lions to win the game.
In the Buffalo-Rams game, the Bills fought their way back from a double-digit deficit. Then Sean ‘Clueless’ McDermott, decided to run the ball on 1st and goal instead of throwing it. The Bills didn’t make it, were forced to burn a timeout, and ended up not recovering the onside kick. The Bills lost. Dan Campbell was commended for being courageous while the media was more fixated with Josh Allen’s stat line than the mismanagement of the clock.
As a fan, I have tried not to become emotionally invested in either team. Whether it be the Music City Miracle or idiotically not kicking a FG to go up in the NFC Championship game, both teams find a way to break my heart. This weekend that will be different. I should walk out a winner. Then again, I wouldn’t be shocked if the game ended in a tie.
It’s misfortune that you grew up at all.
Randy please spare us this drivel!!
Unfortunately, this is your last comment. You have no originality nor creativity in your insults. Iraqi American TPOL is censoring you by blocking your IP.
Come back with a VPN and better content.
I used to have a contractor who was based in Buffalo. Their very mild-mannered VP of HR and her Directors all had season tickets to the Bills (and have for like 20 years). Talk about another side of them… Though I’ll take their word for it that there’s nothing like seeing the Bills play outside in a snow storm.
I had opportunity to see a number of teams when I lived in South Florida… group of us from work used to go all the time when tickets were $10-20 for the nosebleeds.
I’ll take South Florida lol
Who won? You or yourself? LOL!
I like your “drivel” … keep it up!
This Sunday
