Bills fan since 87

Love the old commercials!! Nothing pulls me back like a commercial I didnt remeber but dont know how i forgot

I would NEVER want to live in, near or around Miami...Or Florida for that matter

Every now and then when I am watching a game I find myself wishing for the old days before graphics were all over our screen. Then I watch old games like these (I remember this one) and wonder how I ever dealt without the score/time not being constantly on my screen. If you tune in late or come back from a beer run to the fridge there could have been 3 touchdowns scored. Who knows? There could have been an injury and only 5 seconds came off the game clock, who knows? Still prefer the old announcers though

Summer be damned, GET ME TO FOOTBALL!

Haha, I do love to travel. The Mrs and I didn't have kids so our schedules are pretty free to do so. Normally I NEVER travel during football season. But last year she wanted to do Christmas with her family and this year for her 40th birthday she wanted to do fall in Austria and Germany. I said OK, so long as I only have to miss 1 weekend of NFL. We worked it out, leaving the 30th (morning after Ravels game) and come back the Saturday before week 7. I worry that with last year and this year a precedent is being set so I gotta but a hard stop to that next year

So my wife and I visited her folks in South America this past Christmas ands for the first time I used a VPN (Express) to watch the Bills/Chargers game and everything worked great. This October we will be doing an Austria/Germany road trip and during so the Bills will be playing the Houston Diggs. I figured I'd just use the same VPN again as my prior experience was great. But I got to thinking. That Chargers game was a stand alone on Peacock, where as the Houston game is just a regional game. When I was in Peru the Spectrum app was one of the few apps that wouldn't work as it detected the VPN. So, for a regional game what is my best bet, without having to purchase NFL ticket and hope it works right with Express? Btw, I'll be in Mittenwald, Germany for that game if anyone lives there and wants to have me over 😁

Lisbon, Portugal and Marrakesh, Morocco and Lima, Peru are my most exotic "Go Bills". I always get very slightly annoyed when I say "Go Bills" and the other person doesn't respond the same. Silly I know, but it does non the less....Kinda like when someone calls a pizza a "pie". Slightly annoyed.......

Easy, a lot of us turds had dads who didn't root for the Bills!

My fanatacism started in, you guessed it, the strike season on 1987. I was 11 and grew up in a Giants household/area in the Adirondacks (at that time). I remember people making fun of the Bills and it made me dislike the Giants and Jets, so I hopped on board as we made a playoff push that season; ultimately coming up just short. Still, it wasn't until the next season the roots really took hold. I remember crying after we lost to the Bengals in the AFC championship, back then next season felt eons away. Even at that young age I knew right then and there, as my tears dried, that I was on board for life. Fast forward 36 years and my dad is more a Bills fan than a Giants fan now, my undying loyalty to my team over the years converted him; and now that I live in Rochester its a way we stay connected. Now, if we can win just one while we can enjoy it together. Go Bills!

Oh man, why? Why would anyone do that? I'd panick and probably have a heart attack of I ever found myself in that situation.

Man, that cave squeezing stuff gives the creeps.

Beautiful? Meh

And NO Taylor Swift

I want the Patriots at 1pm to open the season. Likely a rookie QB starting, in Buffalo. I think that lines up for an easy win and starts things off right. We have plenty of BIG games and will have plenty of primetime games. But let that first one be a 1pm Sunday kick vs New England

Growing up in the Adirondacks 80s/90s I had little to zero Bills coverage other than Shout! magazine (which always came a week late) and whatever I'd cut out of the school library newspaper and bring home with me so I could read it 5 times through. That's how it all started for me with this team!

Those were the days

McDermott should have beaten this guy in the playoffs TWICE. Coach better start getting the big wins.

Oof. This one will sting for a long time Detroit

Man, the bottom fell out so quickly for Detroit

Playoff Lamar. Mvp...

Where can we sign?!

This is a good point. Not only do expectations lend themselves to greater disappointment but the weekly wins are severely dulled. During the drought a big win made my week. I rode that wave of joy for days in the hopes of this being the year we would win enough of these that we make the playoffs. Not any more, and especially now. Off two straight divisional playoff losses AT HOME (!?) all I will think about is playoffs and if we finally break through. With optimistic anticipation and dread in my gut the whole time as weeks 1-17 roll by. The weekly joy is gone. With all that said. This clearly is still the better place to be. But this is the reality I will live until we finally break through, or return to the doldrums and expectations are lowered.

Thanks. I'll be gunning for there, whats the usual charge?
