Why does the Buffalo Bills franchise mean so much to the city and its fans?
Brand new opening for a new stadium. You can watch the game on T S N. And listen to it on T S N radio. That is where the Bills Radio Network is going to set the scene. Pre game, post game, and everything in between. You can hear Mitch Morris coming up tonight. What's up, Mitch? Thanks for joining us.
It's good to be on here and Got the divine lights, the b beautiful background. It's a good night for football.
Yeah, I mean you um obviously you didn't grow up in Buffalo, but you were a Bill for a long time. So I'm sure you got a real connection to the community. Like w we were trying to put our finger on what this means to Bill's mafia to have a stadium like this.
Yeah, I um when you hear like passionate fan bases thrown around, you can take it with a grain of salt, but there's a few fan bases in this league that it matters a little bit more, it seems like. And yes, I'm a huge homer. I spent five seasons here, but this is a community that's rallied around their sports teams. It's the city of good neighbors, but to its core, it's built on these hardworking folks and what they do and how they feed their sports teams, what they mean to those sports teams and what the sports m teams mean to them, you feel that. Even though you go to work seven days a week and you don't get to spend much time in the community, it seems like for the most of the five years you spend here, your interactions with folks around here is talk about divine.
It's just a real unique experience that I'm just kind of I feel I tickle my I mean I mean I pinch myself. It's a beautiful experience and I feel like one of the luckiest guys on earth to spend a good chunk of chunk chunk of time here.
This building behind us, very expensive. The old one is is rubble.
How does the new stadium design reflect Buffalo’s football culture?
Okay. What I want to know is the old one, they've brought in fans to shovel snow. Is that ever going to happen in this building right right over here? It doesn't seem possible to spend that much money on that building and have people come and shovel snow out of it.
Well, you know, the fun thing is they hid the fact that they they covered half of it for the fan experience, but what they really did it for the sound. It's gonna be bombastic in there, right? But the thing is they had to cover 'cause that four hundreds section is like a sh it it's built like a shot glass. And that's a forty five degree angle you gotta go into, but I don't know if there's a will, there's a way, if there's an opportunity to get the fans involved here, they're gonna find it. And uh listen, these folks are top notch, cream of the crop and to get them involved in that's always a blast.
We love it. Uh Mitch Morris with us. You'll hear him on the pre and post game. Bills, Lions tonight. Uh Bills minus five and a half is the spread. The Lions obviously a really good team. They're missing some linemen tonight. Couple injuries in the secondary. Feels like that's an appropriate line to me. Like how do you think the Bills are set up for this game tonight on a short week?
Yeah, I mean Putting the short week in there is is definitely it's no small task having a ninety six hour turnaround to play football. The nice thing is you get to do this at home. You don't have to get on another flight later in the week, but the Lions are a super talented football team that blitz forty four percent of the time and they got the linebackers, they got the defensive line, and they have Jameer Gibbs who went off for a hundred and fifty six yards and feels like he can pop off for another hundred if he wanted to.
What are the key factors shaping the Bills’ Thursday night matchup against the Lions?
So Um, but the one thing that stood out to me was just the explosive playability by the the Josh Allen o led offense was kind of s a unique Just kind of caveat that we haven't seen in the past few years.
Being the
head coach. You don't know. It could be a an onslaught of things. The healthy healthy Dalton Kincaid, Joe Brady's, you know, full hands are molding this thing now. You have a guy like DJ Moore coming in and he is all that in a bag of chips and from what you've heard and his ability to even just draw defenders to bring other guys availably open.
