All the bills fans must be staying at places away from the beach. I had to book a room for one of my rental house tenants as the heater failed and was quite surprised to find a room at the first hotel I called. Lady told me they had not noticed any influx of bills fans. You would think oceanfront would be gone with 20,000 coming.

Most are staying downtown apparently. My brother is at the Omni and said that it is full of Bills fans. They were singing in the hallway at 4:00AM. I couldn't get a room there so I’m staying at the Hilton Garden Inn jtb/Deerwood. I have no idea where that is but a guy in our group was staying there so we just booked it.

Check under the bridges.  That’s where all the trolls are.

Lol.   It’s up to 20k bills fans now.   By game time it’ll be 75,000.

I’ve been saying 20k since last week and I’ve seen nothing to change that. We aren’t going to be surprised by it. That’s really not hyperbole.

I tried signing up.  Not to troll, more to do what you were doing with providing recommendations on what to do here besides what they were talking about doing for the most part.  I never got my confirmation email so I'm assuming someone actually reviews each screen name before approving and saw Jaguar in mine and was too cowardly to approve it.  This was also before the trash talk really started ramping up over here so I don't want to hear that it was because of something I said over here.  Did you sign up recently or did you already have an account there?

Did you go to twobillsdrive? We’d love to hear advice on what to do. I think that the plans so far arent realistic. It is a party that won’t  hold the crowd and parking in lot X. Any insight on places to go or eat is greatly appreciated.

I did attempt to signup at twobillsdrive earlier in the week.  Still waiting on confirmation email.  I've posted on what to do around town already here:

As the crow flies, you're not too far from the stadium. However, you'll need to get there early. The local popo is recommending people be at the gate two hours early. That might be a little much, but the traffic and crowds are going to be horrendous.

I thought everyone in Buffalo was over 50 years old and were waiting for their factory jobs to come back.  They're on Twitter ?  I thought they only did MySpace & Facebook

I thought everyone in florida was 80 years old, retired from the Northeast, and waiting to kick the bucket.

Your Encyclopedia Britannica is a little outdated.   Over 1,0000 people move to Florida each day.  If you ever get down here check out the FL residents on the beaches.  Heck even our FL moms are pretty hot. They don't just hang out and eat Mrs. T's Pierogies all day like the Buffalo chicks.

It's horrible. For a fan base that barely snuck into the playoffs for the first time in 18 years, they sure are a little overconfident.

I expect Jax to win, but of course there's the chance we lose. Bills fans seem to think there's no way they could even lose.

Here's a text from a friend:

"I don’t think McCoy will play Sunday. He’s questionable but. The only reason that Jax wins Sunday is bc McCoy is out. Bortles does not scare me. Buffalo will load the box and force him to make plays. "

Apparently the ONLY way we win is if McCoy doesn't play.

We’ve played 16 games where teams used the same tactic of loading the box. We’ve won ten games and have the top rushing offense in the league.  

McCoy is a non factor whether he plays or not tomorrow. This defense is going to be ready either way.

Never argue with idiots. They drag you down to their level and beat you with experience.

Their message board is hilarious. Very indicative of an exorbitant amount of winter blizzard inbreeding. Their idea of a good time in Jax is Wing-It, Sneakers and Ale House yet they make fun of nothing to do here except hike through a swamp. Good lord it’s great. I was tempted to go on and tell them where to actually go but after reading that drivel I refrained.

On another note for everyone, why are you all bashing Buffalo instead of talking about football? Who really cares that its cold here or is a humid hell hole down there? 

You guys sound like Miami fans and that's not a compliment.

First off, who the hell are you to come to our board and lecture us on how we're to interact with uninvited fans?  If any fan comes to our board talking trash, he/she is subject to the abuse deserved.

Secondly, nobody is afraid to talk football, especially in regards to this game.  The abiding sense here is one of relief that we got Buffalo instead of the Chargers.  We played the bolts this year and even though we got the W against them (you know, the same team that scored a fiddy burger on you),  the Bolts have an outstanding QB, receivers, and two outstanding edge rushers-all things the Bills do NOT have.  They can stop the run-you haven't.  At face value, they pose all kinds of matchup issues against us.  Buffalo doesn't.  You have a budding star in Dion Dawkins, and if you aren't stupid enough to let Cordy Glenn walk, you have the makings of an outstanding OL one way or another.  You have another budding star in Tredavious White, who will likely be second team AFC Pro Bowl behind Ramsey and Bouye for years to come.  But overall, the matchups seemingly favor us overwhelmingly, and that isn't even considering that McCoy might be out.

Haha, such "abuse", bashing an area. As much as you like to think you dish out abuse, the reality is it just appears that you are whining about a geographical area not being as fun as yours. Awesome trash talk. To each their own, I didn't say you can't, I just asked why?

You weren't going to get the Chargers either way since the Titans beat you.

As for matchup problems, I think you guys have matchup problems on both sides. Your run defense got better with Dareus but it is still lacking against quality backs. Your offense is primed to play right into our opportunistic defense. Even your own fans admit that you don't know if you'll get good Bortles or bad Bortles.

On the other side, if you can contain Tyrod then we will certainly have problems on offense, Tyrod isn't shy of going 3 and out which is a huge problem for our defense and is nearly as bad as a turnover.

Whining?

No, what you see from me is the expression of tremendous relief and gratitude I have not been sentenced to life in Buffahole, or as a Bills fan.

The only way our offense plays into your defense's hands is if you stop the run and put us in long yardage.  You haven't proven you can do that, particularly since you traded away the one true run stuffer you had in Marcell Dareus ( I know he didn't fit ...yada yada yada).

Furthermore, if McCoy is out, what quality back do you have?

Good lord man. You guys road on the back of Dalton into the playoffs. There is no part of your team that matches up with any team currently seeded. The ills are historically outmatched in all statistical categories. I give ya credit for being a loyal fan but logic has suffered frostbite! Not sure you or your fanbase has paid attention to anything but ills football.

What's your take on giving up 180 yards on the ground against the pats a couple of weeks ago?  

The Jags are a tougher matchup for the bills in the run game than the pats were. I'm not clear how that's "primed to play right into your opportunistic defense."

And I am glad I don't live in the hell hole that is Florida. To each their own. It's like you think I am insulted that you don't like this area, so you keep putting it out there.

I don't think McCoy will be out, but we will see. That will be a large factor in this game no doubt. Our backup is already hurt, but we have Murphy who is an unknown at this point. He did well against a decent Miami run defense, we may have to see what he has.

Our defense has had some fallouts. However they generally keep teams down in the high teen's, low twenty's point wise with a few exceptions in the Chargers and Saints.  (9 games of 17 or less points). If you allow Taylor to put up some points, they will force Bortles to throw.

So yeah, a lot of it is up in the air, and nothing is for sure which is why they play the game.

The Jaguars are 1 game ahead of the Bills man. And one game behind losing the division to the Titans. I don't think I'd be acting as if your team is untouchable. I never claimed mine was. We definitely have flaws, but it will certainly be a legitimate competition on the field tomorrow

The take there is for one the Patriots have our number. There is no doubt about that. Belichick just knows how to beat us.

We got a rare pick six from Brady that game. I think your weakness is in Bortles doing something similar but not recovering as well as Brady can. If we can force Bortles to throw, I think that is a matchup in our favor.

That is a pretty big "if" given the rate at which your team concedes first downs and TDs on the ground. 

Bortles threw the ball 14 times against the squealers and we wrecked them with the run and forced turnovers. 
While that game is an extreme case statistically - it shows how the Jags are a bad match-up for the bills as you'll need to capitalize on Bortles' mistakes.  The problem is  - he may not need to be exposed to mistake-prone situations for the Jags to score. He can just take a few play action shots here and there , make some safe throws over the middle, and let the run game do it's thing.
