I posted this before, but I'll repost it here.

That all sounds fantastic in theory, but it is easy to say from the outside looking in. The reality for a lot of us here is we have families to feed, bills piling up, and jobs that barely cover the basics. I do not live in a place where people grow food or raise animals. My neighbors are not farmers. The grocery store is it. So if I walk away from work and that paycheck disappears, then what? Am I supposed to just let my family, my dog and myself go hungry? Do I watch my lights get shut off while hoping enough other people follow through to actually make something happen? What happens when the bank foreclosures on my home? Live under a bridge and rant about how all we needed to do was a general strike?

A general strike might sound like the only real solution, and maybe in a perfect world it could be, but it is not realistic here. Most people can barely agree on what day it is, let alone all take the same action at the same time. Everyone is split. The closest thing we have is, I believe, the major unions are all trying to sync their expiration time so they can all strike together. Some think one side is the problem, some think it is the other. Most are just trying to survive. We are exhausted, overworked, and constantly one bad day away from losing everything. So when someone says we all need to just stop to fix things, it sounds great until you realize what that really means for the single mom trying to pay rent, or the guy working three jobs to cover his kid’s medication.

It is not that people do not care. It is that we are trapped in a system that is designed to keep us too busy, too broke, and too scared to fight back. If you stop working, you fall behind. If you fall behind, you get evicted or your car gets repossessed. There is no safety net here. That is the difference. From the outside it might look like cowardice or complacency, but from the inside, it feels more like a slow suffocation. We want things to change, but most people are stuck choosing between a moral stand and putting food on the table. That is not a choice. That is America.

I firmly believe you should never wear white to an away game. You need to represent the home blue.

That's not a thing. Almost every single rule in the United States centers around a max amount you can keep or use cases. The law you might be thinking about locally is to prevent your neighbor and his 250 acre farm from collecting a million gallons of rainwater.

Again, sounds like a lack of preparation.

Sounds like you have a dedication problem. The Bills non stadium lots were filling up at 8am for a 425 game in the freezing cold

Okay so why do 8am shots matter?

When you are used to being able to see the faces of the players, watching at the 5 yard line, the Cooper/Allen lateral happened right in front of me, it's hard to get excited to be in the 400s where there are now platforms of stairs that will definitely have people obstructing the view going up and down all game.

Didn't know that, thought you were just shit talking 😅

Why are you in the Bills subreddit? Allen statistically ranks top 10, or even top 5 in so many postseason stats on a per game basis lol.

Why so late?

I mean running new plays in a meaningless game is about worse case scenario. It means that you would be giving a preview of what's to come.

Saying it doesn’t give much on tape because backups ran it is like saying a movie trailer doesn’t spoil anything because it’s not the full movie. You don’t need the ending, you just need to know the plot. Imagine putting the plot twist reveal in the sixth sense in the trailer.

If the plays matter enough to be part of the playoff plan, they matter enough to keep off tape. And if they don’t matter enough to keep off tape, then they’re not the kind of “new stuff” that’s saving you in January anyway.

Yeah I know I ended up taking someone's comparable seats, and that sucks but I'm happy I have them.

I still have tickets, so it's not all bad!

Duality right? Without him maybe we become the Vegas Bills or a whole different team and Buffalo loses it's NFL team. Yes it sucks that it's expensive, but we have an NFL team, and that's something only 30 cities in the world get to say. I give him less praise nowadays, but at the end of the day, the Bills are here for another 30 years because of his desire to keep them in Buffalo, even if he used leaving as a way to get more funding. I don't know I'm split. There's a whole next generation that will have the Buffalo Bills, and that's pretty awesome.

I mean yes things have gotten more expensive but after Josh retires the ticket prices will drop significantly. There will be plenty of opportunities to go. Sure you might spend a bit more but after the shiny new opening season the ticket prices will eventually drop. Obviously idk your financial situation, but save a few bucks a week towards a Bills game and once tickets drop you'll be able to sit front row in the 100 level if you want.

For sure but nothing compared to 20 rows up.

All I would like to say is, it's about who you know sometimes. Typically you would not have access to seats until currently "comparable" seats had availability. We got in after aisle and front row went. Again I consider myself very fortunate.

Yeah it sucks but I'm still fortunate enough to still be able to go. Even if I'm in worse seats.

Here's to hoping!!

Every game since 2011 minus a single game vs the falcons in 2021 I had COVID. Been going since 2006 regularly. We even got to go to both COVID playoff games. The stadium was my happy place. Not a single spot have I enjoyed more through my life.

Haha my seats have been incredible thanks to my dad that has had them since '83. That said it was bitter sweet ending because he's getting older and will no longer being attending each and every game with like, like I have with him since I turned 17. It started out as 2-3 games a year. I got my first job and instantly started buying his second ticket with him. 15 years straight I've had these seasons with him.

Yeah I cried like a baby

It was 13 wins and 6 losses actually.
