The Official QQ NFL Tailgate Thread

[Sonik Wiz]

Rampaging eh??? I've been a lifelong Bills fan. I lived through the Kelly Years and the four SB losses and all, ..but this kind of press is very rare for us.

If the Bills rank #1 , why is it that this Bills fan and many, many, like me get so nervous and unsettled when we have to play the "lowly" #3 ranked Chiefs in Arrowhead (is it still called Arrowhead?). in a game that likely will determine home field advantage between these teams. But I gotta say, this team looks like its taking no prisoners this season, and they just might take it all. Its just weird having a lot of national people thinking that way too.

I sat through years of domination by New England. Kelsay is just the new Gronk....

I see both the Bills & Chiefs are 4>1 & top of their respective conferences. So not sure how you call KC Chiefs at #3??

But I know the feeling you're talking about and I was the same way last night, nervous about the Chiefs playing "lowly" LV Raiders. I guess I had reason to be.

But KC fans are naturally skittish about this so many decades of medium to poor performance both NFL & MLB. The city wide attitude at one time is the only difference between the Royals & Chiefs was the latter didn't take near so many games to ultimately disappoint.

It is now called GEHA Stadium but Arrowhead Field. I don't like it but GEHA (an insurance company) I'm sure paid big $$$ to tack on their name. Now ya only do that if it's a consistent winning team.

Edit: OK now I see it was the op/ed piece by Dan Hanzus placing the Chiefs in the 3rd spot.

A running joke in the Buffalo Area used to be the one about the well connected life long Bills fan who died and had a special request - for all his pallbearers to be current Bills players. He wanted the team to let him down just one last time.

Yikes! This would work for Leafs fans.

Josh Allen needs to remember that he’s a quarterback and not a running back…taking sliding lessons from TB and Mahomes would also help.

I get worried every time he takes off. Its the occasional hurdle that makes it all the more worrisome.

If they want to make it to the SB Allen needs to start weighing when he should take the risk of running and not sliding. One injury to him would most likely doom their season.

If the paywall gets ya here's the most significant quote:

For the first time in his career, Patrick Mahomes will be an underdog on his home field. The Bills are 2 1/2-point favorites Sunday in a game that some of us envision as a prelude for a January playoff rematch.

So then. But just yesterday I realized I probably wont see anything of the game, real time. The Hannover (Germany) Big Band Jazz Orchestra arrives this weekend, for a weeks worth of performances & work shops. The Welcome Reception I'm going to directly conflicts with the game time! The next day is an Oktoberfest type performance at the KC Biergarten. But of course the game will be over by then. Maybe this is all for the best....

DVR?

DVR?

Or watch the 10 to 12 minute summary game on YouTube. However, it's not as concise as that video with all the tracks of The Wall stacked on top of each other.

@Sonik Wiz is not happy, but it was another heck of a game.
