Amazing what kind of experience you can have at a stadium where the fans just love football and having a good time.



I think they’re going to make it an annual event!

How did he become a Packers fan? Aren't the Bills closer to you?

That’s a very good question.

I of course am a die hard Bills fan and as we can see, I’ve jinxed the team from any championships

Coincidentally, I’m a die hard Leafs fan and the last time they one a cup was the year I was born

Slight digression, but I think the last time the Sabres won a *game* may have been the year I was born, but it’s too depressing to check the scores, so I’m not sure…

I hope your son had a great tailgate food experience in GB, had to be solid there.

Bills have a legit shot this year. Pretty sure JA17 is in the zone - that young man is eventually bringing us there, it may be his time.

I pray to go your right on the Bills … I’ve been waiting a long time like everyone. Surely 5th time is the charm!

I just thought I’d say our son had his first NFL game experience at his favourite team’s home field.

He and his buddies made the 11 hour road trip and had the time of their lives!

As a result I have a new NFC team to cheer for

Very nice. My son and I just went a few weeks back for his birthday(13). It was his first pro football game. We had such a great time. GB is a great place for football.

They can’t but that play by Russel Wilson at the end of the game was mind boggling. Can’t believe he ran the ball like that and wasted about 20 seconds. He needed to get out of bounds and stop the clock at that point. What was he thinking?

To put it nicely, the last few years have not been kind to Russell Wilson's legacy.

One overlooked aspect for many, as it is not open on game days, is to visit the Packers Hall of Fame at Lambeau. It has a much more comprehensive display of the history of the NFL than the Hall of Fame in Canton, OH. A great experience whether you are a Packers fan or not. But you have to get there for a Saturday walk through if going to a Sunday game.

The Packers are playing really sloppy football. No way they beat the Eagles next week.

Good lord Darnold is choking. He’s lucky the defense has kept them in this game.

He is not a mobile QB, but he is like a statue back there so far this game.

His arm has been off. Nerves maybe. Been a fun game to watch so far regardless. Some big hits and lots of pressure from both defenses.

Yeah, he’s been terrible, and so has the play calling.

If I were a Vikings fan, I’d be super frustrated over this game. It was there for the taking.

Well, I posted that early in the 3rd QTR after the Lions blew all those red zone opportunities, and the score was still close.

It turned into an avalanche in the 4th QTR. So, yeah, the post might not have aged so well.

Keeping Schoen and Daboll is genius. And by “genius,” I mean “insane AF.” Yikes…

tbf firing Daboll doesn't solve anything, we were supposed to tank this season so it's not like the bad record was a surprise or unwanted

Schoen is the one who's an idiot. comes in for the 2022 season where the giants somehow make it into the playoffs and then knowing we have no draft picks or money, and a shitty team (which was obvious to every fan) he gives DJ a max and then pisses off Saquon and lets him walk for nothing to the literal second most hated team here. although even though we hate the pats more it probably wouldn't hurt as much because they suck

honestly don't care to support this team much anymore, they have horrible management and the stadium sucks. literally nothing good here lol

Unfortunately, the Eagles have plenty of high-value free agents hitting the market. The Giants might be able to sign one or more of them. I doubt the Eagles will be able to keep all these guys because of salary cap constraints.

Mekhi Becton
Milton Williams
Zach Baun
Josh Sweat
Isiah Rogers

So, Cowboy and Giant fans might be happy to know this.

That explains why you don't remember the Bills 2 AFL Championships('64/65),
I was at the '64 Championship game when the famous 'Hit heard round the World' took place(Mike Stratton taking out Keith Lincoln)
