Rumor has it...

Buffalo is playing in London on October 8th.

[TacklingDummy]

Good. Should be like a 9am game. I hate 1pm, 4pm,8pm, games.

[Historian]

Meh.

We don't do well there.

[Forward_Lateral]

Meh.

We don't do well there.
I'm pretty sure they've never won over there. At least not that I remember. 0-3 I believe?

[POTLAND PSILBYLO]

Yeah! A 6AM game. poor Bills fans in Hawaii, 3AM.

Jesus. The Bill have played in London only once (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NFL_International_Series). 2015 vs Jacksonville.

Yes, they lost 34-31. EJ Manuel & Blake Bortles competed for who could play worse. Their stat lines were miserable...

EJ Manuel - 24/42, 57%, 298 years, 2 TD, 2 INT, RTG 75.3
Bortles - 13/29, 44.8%, 182 yards, 2 TD, 1 INT, RTG 74.2

What in the world does this have to do with the 2023 Bills, led by one of the best QB’s in the league?!?!?

To say the Bills “don’t do well there” is quite silly.

Why are some Bills “fans" just itching to say negative things about the team?!? I just don’t get it.

[OpIv37]

Uggghh.

Why the eff did I think they've played there three times? lol

Probably remembering the God Awful Toronto series

[daryls61]

I still remember the Jags game with EJ. What a **** show.

Probably remembering the God Awful Toronto series

Yeah....games played outside the country seem to kinda blend together. And yes, the history of all the Bills games played outside the US were dismally BAD.

To add to our misery, Wikipedia has a separate page dedicated to that debacle of crap (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bills_Toronto_Series) forced on us by one of the worst owners in NFL history, Ralph Wilson. Uggggg

The Bills played two pre-season games and six regular season games in Toronto. In true Ralph Wilson Bills style, they won the two pre-season games (big ****ing whup) and LOST five of the six regular season games.

The sad record...

12/7/2008 - Miami - 16 - Bills - 3
12/3/2009 - NY Jets 19 - Bills - 13
11/7/2010 - Chicago - 22 - Bills - 19
10/30/2011 - Bills 23 - Washington - 0 YEA!!! - the Bills beat QB John Beck. Huge 2nd round bust drafted in the 2nd round (8th pick, 40th overall) in 2007 by Miami. Had seven starts in his career with a record of 0-7. Threw for more INT’s (7) than TD’s (3).
12/16/2012 - Seattle - 50 - Bills - 17

And the final humiliating end to the worst thing any owner has ever down to a NFL team forcing them to play in ****ing Canada so he could line his pockets with a few bucks while he let the team suck on the vine....with W/L records during that stretch of miserable suckatude...

2008 - 7-10
2009 - 6-10
2010 - 4-12
2011 - 6-10
2012 - 6-10
2013 - 6-10

12/1/2013 - Atlanta - 34 - Bills 31 in OT

[sukie]

That looks like Dick Jauron’s resume

[Skooby]

How’s the weather there that time of year ??

[Ginger Vitis]

That 2015 london game against Jack sonville... PI call on nickell Robey in the 4th quarter... Robey never laid a finger on the jaguars WR... one of the worst pass interference calls I've ever seen on a bills defender

[POTLAND PSILBYLO]

As shown on the o'fishle Bills website, at bottom of "2023 opponents:"

*One of our home games will be played in London at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

[DraftBoy]

Good, be nice to have the game over that early in the day.

[Ed]

We already knew back in January that the Bills were playing in London this year. The fact that it's October 8th means it's the first London game of the season. I would rather have it sooner and get it out of the way, but my concern would be if that means they're likely to have an early bye. I might be wrong, but typically teams that play international games have their byes the following week, and no one likes early season byes.

[jamze132]

I can assume none of you whiners is going?

If I’m traveling to London, it’s not for a NFL game. I can do that here.

[Joe Fo Sho]

Isn't this pretty much all the games? You hate all of the games?

[POTLAND PSILBYLO]

He hates all clocks

[notacon]

That looks like Dick Jauron’s resume

:rofl:

Actually it was the resume of three Bills loser HC’s....Jauron (only 2008 and part of ’09 until he got fired), the hopeless Gailey (2010, 11 & 12) and the sad sack Marrone (2013)...who had one good year as HC of Jax in 2017, and then the team went to ****.

At least he did so bad in 2020 that it gave Jax the #1 pick in the draft to grab Trevor Lawrence.

[notacon]

How’s the weather there that time of year ??

It’s a 50/50 chance on being cloudy and cool....in the 50’s or maybe low 60’s. Perfect football weather.

I spent a school year in Northern England and their climate is why so many British skin is so pasty white. London enjoys a little more sunshine than in the north.

[imbondz]

Yeah! A 6AM game. poor Bills fans in Hawaii, 3AM.

That actually sounds fun once in a blue moon. Have a party at 3am watching the game.

I googled the date for the London game, then clicked through the pages at bottom of the main Buffalo Bills Zone page, which sorts by date. Only took a minute or two.

This is where it appears on the web version. Not sure about the mobile version since I don't use that.

I only see three pages on the Bills Zone page. That’s all I get on both Safari and Google Chrome browsers.

That limitation of thread by date (the oldest I see is from early Aril) is why I bookmark posts and threads.

What browser do you use?? PC or Mac?

Never mind. I figured it out.

I had the “Thread Display Options” set to “last month”.

I changed to “Beginning” and I see them all.

Thanks!!!!

There are still years of posts lost.

When checking out various older pages (now that I have the setting right) I found that threads started between 9/6/2022 and 11/17/2017 cannot be accessed.

Seems like you happened to go back to 2015...which all the threads, and older ones, are still there.

Good to know.

It’s funny seeing some of these old threads.

I stand by my arguments to start Peterman for the entire year. We would've had a top 5 draft pick and could've got Josh Allen for a single 1st round pick. As it stands, Josh costs us 2 1sts, 2 2nds, and Cordy Glenn.

We should've sank all the way to Josh with Peterman at the wheel. Think of what we could've got with the other draft capital and Cordy Glenn.

Accessing the old threads is like a wormhole into a dusty, worm-eaten library of a murky, distant past and I'm here for it.

So, basically you are saying that you stand by your opinion to start Petermen all year so the Bills would suck to high heaven??? That’s special....though not in a good way.

Thankfully, Coach McDermott and the whole Bills organization did not and DO not think this way. It’s the epitome of loser talk and loser mindset It is well known that he wanted to establish a “winning culture” right away, which he did.

Posts like these make me so thankful that the professionals are in charge of the Bills. This team would be in shambles if they actually listened to some of the knuckle headed ideas expressed on thees pages.

Lol. I am from Munich and that was my only regular season game I saw the Bills live. I hoped for Tyrod Taylot and then he got injured in the previous game and I saw Manuel. What a **** show. At least it was close and we lost on a dubious pass interference call.

Highlight was I saw Darryl Talley, shook his hand and talked a bit with him. That was worth the flight. Not the bills game …
