How about this?

Filtyh has left this board, AFAIK, but still posts awful takes on twitter in support of KC (and Baltimore, Pittsburgh, Houston, even Cincy...any team which is not Buffalo). He takes every chance he gets to take something positive for Buffalo and spin it negatively.

Yeah, icees were great. And kids, they will eat anything! Hot dogs? Mmmm...delicious! 😋

I remember in the 80's growing up in WNY. Hills had 10¢ (or was it 15¢?) hotdogs and 5¢ sodas one day a year. That was super cheap, even back then. My grandfather took me there and told me to go hog wild. He kept on asking me if I wanted more hotdogs, lol. I was full, but got one more to make him happy. (And the location will remain undisclosed because sometimes Bills fans give me a hard time when I say where.) He can't. The Bills are one of the lowest-valued franchises in football.

We beat Miami the last game of 2017 but had to have the Rat Birds lose for us to qualify for the post season and end the 17 year drought. Andy Dalton connected late to Tyler Boyd for the Bengals to stun Baltimore at Baltimore. Bills fans en masse donated $17 to Dalton's charity. ("17 "was the years we had a drought.) This started the trend of other teams' fans donating to a player!s charity when he had troubles, like Tua with his concussion or Damar with his incident. There are tons of YT videos of the locker room celebration and Bills fans celebration compilations: https://www.buffalobills.com/video/watch-locker-room-and-fan-celebration-20176095 https://www.buffalobills.com/video/nfl-turning-point-the-moment-the-drought-ended-in-buffalo-20196149

Yeah, Jimmy Spagnola, but people call him "Spags". His last post was "Jets gotta problem", lol. As well as that Bengals fan ("Caesar"??).

Some forums don't allow other teams' fans, per their explicit rules, like Jungle Noise.

He used to post on the old BBMB. Same persona, but a slightly different user name. Too nice. I was always suspicious of him. I tried to be alert so I could catch him in the act.

Like Filthy Idiot? Not so sure. See my response to MJS above:

Spags? He once referred to Josh as a "surfer boy". Most Bills fans knew he grew up in the Central Valley of California, far away from southern California. So he has to be a Jets fan. PatsFanNH?

Billl?? I think he is a troll. Not Zerovoltz. Jimmy Spagnola

Good analysis. What made the 12-minute drive by the Bills back in the day more remarkable was that the game clock stopped on each out-of-bounds play, unlike today, when it only occurs later in the half.

Great call on your part. I agree 100%. (Also, should have been used in the NBA when Jason Kidd "spilled" his drink on the sidelines as coach of the then New Jersey Nets, lol.)

Someone here needs to let him know he is a dork (he quit Twitter): Blue Sky Jason Kirk @jasonkirk.fyi

I was way too young then. That link I posted above lists all the attempts of the fair catch FG's they can find, but they also say there could be others, since box scores of old games do not mention if a FG was a free kick. They have to go by any game reports they can find, which are hit or miss.

Speaking of triple OT, this reminds me of something like a 12-minute drive the Bills had vs. Cincinnati, I think it was, in the 80's or late 70's. Almost possessed it for an entire quarter. So this makes me wonder: what if a team gas the ball all 10 minutes of a regular season OT and kicks only a FG? Does the other team get a chance to score, even though all 10 minutes have gone by? Or what if the first team leaves the other team with just 10 seconds left? Not really fair.

Yes, it has been eliminated: https://profootballresearchers.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=7938&sid=92116cb8d27c82fa8cdb06924ff9f27b "Not since 1949. After that season, college football eliminated all fair catches, but that proved impractical. Following the 1950 season, college football restored the fair catch, but explicitly removed the fair catch kick rule. However, the rule still exists in high school football." https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fair_catch_kick#:~:text=The fair catch kick is,the spot of the catch. "The fair catch kick is not legal in National Collegiate Athletics Association (NCAA) football; the NCAA abolished the fair catch in 1950, but re-added it a year later. When the fair catch returned to the rulebook, however, the option to attempt a kick after the fair catch was removed."

https://profootballresearchers.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=7938&sid=92116cb8d27c82fa8cdb06924ff9f27b "Who was the most visible proponent of the fair catch kick? John Madden. Whenever a team was trapped deep in its own territory near the end of a half, Madden would reference the fair catch kick, and mention that he always wanted to try one, but never had the chance. Ironically, the Madden series of video games has never included the fair catch kick, though its sister franchise, NCAA Football, contained the equally-obscure one-point safety."

The last successful FC free kick was San Diego at Buffalo in 1976: https://profootballresearchers.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=7938&sid=92116cb8d27c82fa8cdb06924ff9f27b "Ray Wersching, San Diego vs. Buffalo, November 21, 1976. Good from 45 at the end of the first half. This kick put the Chargers up 27-10, and so is missing from most brief recaps of the game. This, not Mac Percival’s game-winner in 1968, is the last known successful NFL free kick (until 2024). Is this it? https://profootballresearchers.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=7938&sid=92116cb8d27c82fa8cdb06924ff9f27b "Mark Moseley, Washington vs. New York Giants, November 25, 1979. Short from 74 (yes, 74) yards with 54 seconds left (the Redskins were trailing 14-6 and hoped to score quickly & recover the onside kick; there was no 2-point conversion rule until 1994)." I think you are referring to San Diego at Buffalo (had to look this up!). See the top of this post.

Bass is much better than Vinatieri: https://www.pro-football-reference.com/leaders/fg_perc_career.htm Bass is 27th all time in accuracy at 84.211%, vs. Vinatieri, who 35th with 83.776%

(i didn't realize the kid's name was "Brick". WTF?)

Sixth time it has been attempted in the last 30 seasons. The previous five were failures https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/watch-chargers-utilize-obscure-nfl-rule-to-hit-leagues-first-fair-catch-kick-field-goal-since-1976/amp/ "Dicker's field goal attempt was actually only the sixth fair-catch kick attempted in the NFL over the past 30 years, but everyone had missed their kick before Dicker came along"

What? Your last paragraph is confusing. The pronouns are wrong and the teams don't make sense. "They failed to get a first down on 4th down with 6 to go and punted from their own end zone" Also, the clock starts when you kick the field goal (when the leg makes contact with the ball). You save like two seconds from not having to snap the ball and kicker running up. And if you receive the punt from their end zone down two scores, you probably would try to score a TD first. The main advantage is not having to snap and then a block attempt. No pressure. Plus you get to kick from the spot of the fair catch or penalty instead of eight yards back from the LOS. And you get to attempt the kick even if after the FC there is no time remaining. But if you miss, as with any FG try, the other team can field the miss (if caught in the air) and return it for a TD (see the Auburn-Alabama "Kick-6").
