You don't know your Bills history, do you. :::

I was at that Notre Dame Game. The Bills were so bad that they did better having "home " preseason games on the road.

I remember those old double headers in Detroit. :ee:

:lmao: That's pretty funny, EE.

As we get closer to several opening days, we will read some of the greatest moments in franchise history, Cas.

The Bills never really gave a crap about the preseason, as evidenced by their

80-128-3 lifetime record from 1960, to last Friday.
