Spurna Posted September 17, 2016 Posted September 17, 2016 For as long as I can remember, the Bills have always played "In the Air Tonight" by Phil Collins during their pregame warmups. This past Thursday they started playing the song, but about 10 seconds in they cut it off and started playing some generic hip-hop song instead. Kind of made me mad. After Pegula bought the team in 2014 they switched it to some metal version of "In the Air Tonight", but then the next week they switched it back. Does anyone know of other gameday superstitions the Bills have had throughout the years? I remember Ralph used to trot out the old goalpost pads from circa-40 years ago at seemingly random times and I always wondered what that was about.

After Pegula bought the team in 2014 they switched it to some metal version of "In the Air Tonight", but then the next week they switched it back. There was one game a couple years ago when they played both versions, the Collins version, then some other song, then the metal version.
BuffalothruMyVeins Posted September 17, 2016 Posted September 17, 2016 Allowing more points than they score has always been a long-held superstition of the Bills.
/dev/null Posted September 17, 2016 Posted September 17, 2016 Allowing more points than they score has always been a long-held superstition of the Bills. that's not really a superstition, it's more like standard operating procedure
Nick the Greek Posted September 18, 2016 Posted September 18, 2016 (edited) If I wear my lucky hat.. THe Bills will win. That's surperstition. And yea, none of our hats have been lucky in over 15 years. Edited September 18, 2016 by Idandria
BADOLBILZ Posted September 18, 2016 Posted September 18, 2016 Phil Collins I think I saw his food truck at the game. Burgers. RIP Phil.
K D Posted September 18, 2016 Posted September 18, 2016 Whatever superstitions they have they better stop because it ain't working This did get me thinking though... Have we had Flutie back since we benched him for the music city miracle game? I feel like we need to make that right for the curse to be lifted.

We had Norwood back when we were on a winning streak in 2011 and then the team went to hell the rest of the season. So that can backfire.

bbb Posted September 18, 2016 Posted September 18, 2016 How long have the Bills been playing that? I remember hearing Jim Kelly on 97 Rock saying that was one of his two favorite songs.
dpberr Posted September 18, 2016 Posted September 18, 2016 If the Bills want good luck it is obvious that they must bring back Zubaz. The good luck charm obviously went away with the 90s.
