kdub Posted September 14, 2012 Posted September 14, 2012 28 Here. My earliest Bills memory is betting my dad a quarter that the Bills win SB XXV. Yes, my first memory of the Bills included "wide right."
Gugny Posted September 14, 2012 Posted September 14, 2012 Dwight- If you re-read what I wrote, you may have misunderstood...I didn't intend it to read that the Bills beat Miami in the Rockpile. I know we beat Miami in Rich Stadium, as I was there and it remains one of my best memories of attending a game with my Dad. I think the last time we beat New England, however, was in the Coliseum.
xsoldier54 Posted September 14, 2012 Posted September 14, 2012 57 and a fan since day one. I have been through all of the ups and downs with this team. The thing that keeps me watching is just thinking that "this too shall pass" and one day we will be a good football team again. Hopefully that happens sooner rather than later.
chaccof Posted September 14, 2012 Posted September 14, 2012 Will be 52 in a few weeks. My dad took me to my first game in the middle 60's. I left Buffalo after high school and haven't lived there since but of course still follow the Bills. We didn't have season tickets but my dad would take me to at least one game a season - generally around my birthday in October - a great time to see a game in WNY. I barely remember the Rock Pile, and the picture of RWS in my head is stuck in 1993 which is the last time I saw a game in Buffalo.
BuffaloBill Posted September 14, 2012 Posted September 14, 2012 I am 47 but in Bills fan years it works out to 92. Much like dogs the pressure of Billsdoom ages us faster.
NWPABillsfan Posted September 14, 2012 Posted September 14, 2012 53 years old. I first became a Bills fan in 1976. Before that I was a Cowboy fan. But my Junior year in High school I decided to start following a "local Team" I live just south of Erie Pa. So it is about 2-2 1/2 hour to Bufallo, Pittsburgh, and Cleveland. So I looked around and there was alot of Steeler fans and alot of Brown fans so wanting to be different I went with the BIlls because there wasnt alot of Bills fans around my school. My wife tells me if I ever change teams I would have to get a whole new wardrobe. Now my three boys are all BIlls fans 2 out 3 daugter-in-laws are and now all three of my grandkids are Bills fans. I make it too 1 or 2 games a year every year. Will be there Sunday for the Chiefs and also the "Cheatriots". I don't cry much anymore when we lose . Go Bills !!!!!!!!!!!!

opfball91 Posted September 14, 2012 Posted September 14, 2012 20, first memory is the Music CIty Miracle with my uncle saying "There's still time left" as we all thought we were going to the next round. Not bitter yet, though being tested every year.
GoBills! Posted September 14, 2012 Posted September 14, 2012 27 here born in rochester, college in buffalo..first game was the greatest comeback in NFL history I was a fan before my first game but after that one I knew I was hooked for life...And we did stay the whole game...Now live in florida and happy to be out of buffalo where all I hear is bills suck sabres suck...down here the sunshines and its just fun to watch them play on tv and not worry about the negative talk during the week. Ofcourse I attend the Miami game every year. GoBills !
Chandler#81 Posted September 14, 2012 Posted September 14, 2012 Get off my lawn! Spit coffee on this one! Well played, Senior Senator! Hmm.. A Senator with a history of theft. Sounds about right...

I know we beat Miami in Rich Stadium, as I was there and it remains one of my best memories of attending a game with my Dad. ok, sorry.. .. and by the way, im older, but i agree, some of the best games i went to were with my dad in the early years at the rockpile..
The Senator Posted September 14, 2012 Posted September 14, 2012 (edited) Hmm.. A Senator with a history of theft. My virtuous behaviour since those days has allowed my constituents to forgive my youthful transgressions. . Edited September 15, 2012 by The Senator
shrader Posted September 14, 2012 Posted September 14, 2012 31 and about to marry into a family of Pats fans. Luckily the wife doesn't care about football one bit, so I still stand a chance. My parents visited last weekend and my mom actually bought her a Bills shirt. She plans on wearing it around her family (probably the first Bills-NE game) just to mess with them. Based one that alone, it sounds like I lucked out with this one.
Johnny Hammersticks Posted September 14, 2012 Posted September 14, 2012 (edited) Dirty Burn represent!!! Also born and raised in the "Dirty Burn" that is Auburn, NY. I'm 33 years old, and went to my first Bills game versus the Saints on a cold, snowy day in December of 1989 (we lost). I was a fan when we were terrible in the early-mid 80's, persisted through the super bowl years, and will continue to be a devout and diehard fan until the day I croak. I have a 3 year old son who will also be a Bills fan.....whether he likes it or not Edited September 14, 2012 by Johnny Hammersticks
LewPort71 Posted September 14, 2012 Posted September 14, 2012 59. been a Bills fan since AFL started in 1960. Dad and co-workers shared a group of seasons tickets at the RockPile. Went to many games in my youth. Moved from WNY in 1975, but have followed the Bills faithfully from Ohio and now WV. Excited about the Home Opener and the tailgating party at Hammer's.

We'll have to catch up for a game sometime
Dopey Posted September 14, 2012 Posted September 14, 2012 45 yrs old. Left Buffalo after the SB loss to the Skins(moved to Florida). First game I can remember was a game vs. the Dolphins 83 or 84 maybe. As me and some friends were in traffic heading to the game, a limo pulled up beside us and a Dolphin fan with a zz top beard pops his head out of the sunroof with a bottle of champaign and a really BIG doobey(no joke). He had a Marino jersey and was screaming out of the sunroof that the dolphins were going to kick our ass. We smoked them that game and at one point it seemed all 80k fans were pointing and yelling "ass-hole" in unison at one person. Yep, it was that guy from the limo being escorted out of the stadium by security. I also remember a game where once we took the lead in a low scoring game, the sky opened up and the snow started coming down. The whole stadium started singing in unison "Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow" and throwing snowballs around the stadium. Pretty sure it was the same game. The Phins crossed the 50 yd line maybe once. One more thing, I cried when we traded OJ to San. Fran.
