Rockinon Posted December 17, 2014 Posted December 17, 2014 Found this great summary of the Bills season. Linky USA Today reported this in a kind of obscure section called "For the Win". Enjoy!
Captain Hindsight Posted December 17, 2014 Posted December 17, 2014 Nice read. Thanks for sharing Makes me proud to be a Bills fan
sodbuster Posted December 17, 2014 Posted December 17, 2014 I'm so glad my brother convinced me to go to the Ralph tailgate. That's one of those strange things I'll never forget.
Kelly the Dog Posted December 17, 2014 Posted December 17, 2014 While I personally never thought for a second that the Bills were going to be leaving, this really has been an amazing year for the franchise. Most of it good news. Let's end it with an improbable three game win streak to get to the playoffs!

Prickly Pete Posted December 18, 2014 Posted December 18, 2014 I expected 10 wins. I'm not ready to exclaim "What a season!"... I mean, I was around for the Super Bowl years. This season hasn't been exactly magical.
Heitz Posted December 18, 2014 Posted December 18, 2014 Great article, a link to a Kenny video (with a s/o to Hammer, none the less), how can you go wrong! Seriously though, it's an articles like this that make me wonder about fans that can't just take joy from what it means to be a Bills fan. Of course we all want to win, of COURSE! But man, it's about so much more than that. The friends I've made over the years are just awesome, even during losses... I'll always be a proud Bills fan - I run my gear no matter whether I'm home, at a game or at a work event (and that happens a few times each season). Let's Go Buffalo! Let's Go Bills!
Whack 'Em Williams Posted December 18, 2014 Posted December 18, 2014 If wet get into the playoff parade, holy sh%t!!!! I expected 10 wins. I'm not ready to exclaim "What a season!"... I mean, I was around for the Super Bowl years. This season hasn't been exactly magical. Maybe it becomes magical from Packers game on?
Prickly Pete Posted December 18, 2014 Posted December 18, 2014 (edited) If wet get into the playoff parade, holy sh%t!!!! Maybe it becomes magical from Packers game on? Maybe it does, but like I posted "I'm not ready to exclaim 'What a season' YET." I am pleased with their progress, though still frustrated with the quarterbacking.

SageAgainstTheMachine Posted December 18, 2014 Posted December 18, 2014 From my perspective as a fan, I'm playing with house money. The Bills will be in Buffalo for the foreseeable future and the franchise is no longer the laughing stock of the NFL. So they aren't setting the world on fire yet. Playing relevant football in late December is a good friggin' start.
Kelly the Dog Posted December 18, 2014 Posted December 18, 2014 Maybe it does, but like I posted "I'm not ready to exclaim 'What a season' YET." I am pleased with their progress, though still frustrated with the quarterbacking. Did you read the article? It's not really about the season on the field.
Prickly Pete Posted December 18, 2014 Posted December 18, 2014 Did you read the article? It's not really about the season on the field. Nope, but I don't care about off the field, and I don't exclaim "What a season!" unless they are true Super Bowl contenders on the field.
Kelly the Dog Posted December 18, 2014 Posted December 18, 2014 Nope, but I don't care about off the field, and I don't exclaim "What a season!" unless they are true Super Bowl contenders on the field. Ah, so you didn't care if the Bills moved, or if Kelly licked cancer. Got it. Carry on.
3rdand12 Posted December 18, 2014 Posted December 18, 2014 The Bills experience this year , for those who have been around since at least the Kelly days , have one HECK of a ride this last year or two. Just amazing ! Proud to be Bills fan and what it means to me. Its not easy being us. But wow we have found out that Someone up there Does love us starting with the Detroit game after Ralph passed. I am more a Fan than i ever was . And i feel a community bound even tighter. and better yet. We have hope again.
Prickly Pete Posted December 18, 2014 Posted December 18, 2014 Ah, so you didn't care if the Bills moved, or if Kelly licked cancer. Got it. Carry on. I just don't associate those things with "the season". I am really moved by Jim Kelly's fight against cancer, and couldn't be happier that the Bills are staying. There have been great some great things happening off the field.
plenzmd1 Posted December 18, 2014 Posted December 18, 2014 (edited) I have been saying this for a while... I am 52 and this is the greatest Bills season ever. From The day Ralph passed till now, just wow. For those that heard on GR the JR CALL, then my nephews tweet being read RIGHT AFTER. To my son saying he gets my tears at the Dolphins game, and then telling me how much he loves our weekends in Buffalo with his family.....9 hours in the car each way is nothing to hang with your cousins first and foremost , but then to spend 12 hours at the stadium , where some of his uncles ashes are, just puts the cherry on the cake. Been the best season ever for me. Edited December 18, 2014 by plenzmd1

But that is what the entire article and thread is about. Just because you thought it meant something else, doesn't mean it's wrong. The article could have been talking about the Christmas "season." if you're going to comment in a thread I think you should know what the thread is about, or at least read the linked article. The thread isn't about the play on the field. It's all the amazing stuff off the field, plus, to a lesser extent, the play on the field.
Rockinon Posted December 18, 2014 Author Posted December 18, 2014 Maybe it does, but like I posted "I'm not ready to exclaim 'What a season' YET." I am pleased with their progress, though still frustrated with the quarterbacking. Seriously, you should read the article. You may even decide that the win/loss column isn't nearly as important as the community surrounding the organization.
PolishDave Posted December 18, 2014 Posted December 18, 2014 Great article. It is amazing how much this team unites us as a community. What a blessing and privilege it truly is to have the Bills here.
