Fan in Chicago

I cant compare because I havent lived in WNY for a long time but can talk about the vibe during late 80s/early 90s I came to this country in 1989 to UB and thought that the only sports that matter are cricket, tennis and soccer. But everywhere I went - university labs, classes, stores etc was full of Bills paraphernalia and people being (mostly) super happy on Mondays. Other immigrants who had been there would sit in front of the TVs (found on the sidewalk on garbage day) glued for 3 hours. So, having nothing else to do on Sundays, I started watching and got washed up in the excitement. Started rooting for the Bills but the deciding point of my permanent fandom was the Oilers game which was blacked out and I listened to on the radio. I have been consumed by the Bills every since. But the environment at that time around the city and Niagara Falls was decidedly rabid, looked like people had little else to discuss, enjoy and cheer for which was kinda true. It was tough to be insulated from that excitement in any part of life in Buffalo.

You are wrong 😁

Sure we want that first ring, but 15 years from now would you feel satisfied if Allen retired with just one ring? A player of his immense talent?

Many (including me) are dismissing him after watching him play this season. He looks like the heavy contract he got in the offseason is weighing him down and he doesnt have a supporting cast (as Ta111 said). Their D will keep it competitive in the first half but eventually will wear down. OTOH, if the Bills score couple of TDs early in the game, it will get very ugly for the Packers. That cant be right given we have 3 games with the powerhouses of the Jets and Dolphins. (I cant wait for the Bills to knock the teeth out of the Jets and shut up the NYC media)

No explanation needed. I casually joined this forum in the late 90s and couldn't think of anything better. Little did I know how much this board would be part of my life for 20+ years! Good thread, @AlfaBill

You are thinking of the great Tim Anderson, aren't you?

With the Bills projected draft position, we would have had to give up a lot more

Fox doesn't need to add "Buffalo Bills QB". He is THE Josh Allen. One and only.

Or he means that he is too lazy to learn something new or help the younguns like Watson

This one will be a blowout. A 20+ point Buffalo victory.

This proves that content wins over hype. Any day.

Clutch TD catch by Knox

Comeback win -check Close game victory - check

Time for the D to play mad but not take penalties

I was just thinking of the AFCE standings. Not particularly worried about playing them

You can say that again

Finally q good Rodgers pass. TD Packers

Refs trying to give Packers a chance

Just saw that. Wth, Packers! Putting more stress on our game today

What happened?

Superbowl?

Stupid GB defense! Come on Rodgers

Is an extra D player activated in favor of Moss?

I am on a United flight to Houston and they have DirecTV with the NFL Sunday ticket!! Enjoyable flight

Not defending him but he is under pressure seemingly on every dropback
