Other teams have their little hashtags and such but we are a much more organized and powerful voice. It even extends to Bills Backers, etc... We gather and mobilize as well or better than any fan base (including Pittsburgh). They have a lot of fans but there aren't giant get togethers on the road, with parties the night before, etc...

The out of towners who drive hours each way to watch the games and spend thousands over time on direct tv Sunday ticket. The lifers who Spend hours each day on the message boards and the wgr app and follow the team like they are a family member. Only to be embarrassed each and every Sunday of each and every season...Yet still somehow through it all, get themselves back up to do it all over again. The fans still standing through an inexcusable era or disgraceful football. Finding ways to reinvent futility, in a league built on parody. Make a doc on those Bills fans. Not the ones throwing people through tables and most likely, not even watching the game. Bills fans deserve better then what we get. Some day it will all be worth it, but until then...it sucks. Preach it brother! Edited June 20, 2017 by Gunsgoodtime

So players are signing here because of the term billsmafia? Name a couple.
DaBillsFanSince1973 Posted June 20, 2017 Posted June 20, 2017 (edited) just another knock on the buffalo bills and their fans. should be a disclaimer saying that these represented in the documentary only make up less than 1 % of the buffalo bills fan base. alcohol mixed with those who have little to no sense to begin with spells disaster.

sodbuster Posted June 20, 2017 Posted June 20, 2017 In seven years as a STH, parking at a private lot, arriving at 6:30 a.m., I've never seen anything get too out of hand. Sure, people are always drinking probably a bit too much, but I've never witnessed any of the table smashing, posterizing, or extremely public boot knocking. It must be mostly a Grass Lot thing.

Name a couple.That was the early phases of it. People were tweeting at FA using the hashtag. I'm not saying that guys signed because of a twitter hashtag. I'm saying that's was an organized way to communicate. I'm not even sure that's debatable. We were the earliest twitter adopters.

You're also correct. But if you're implying that I was in Dallas when Kennedy was shot, well you're also correct. I was 6. I had no idea what happened. But I didn't do it Wow I feel old. 63 was a long ass time ago.

We paid a one time usage fee if I remember er correctly after the Aggies trademarked it. Seattle has to pay royalties

gr8billsfan Posted June 21, 2017 Posted June 21, 2017 (edited) This is NOT a documentary... 10 minutes? Is this a high school production? Also.. The intro of the dollar shave BS is a waste of time and doesn't belong in any bills video.... Edited June 21, 2017 by gr8billsfan

May Day 10 Posted June 21, 2017 Posted June 21, 2017 Just watched it. I thought it was funny. I love our fans. To hell with anyone else.

The guys that run it keep it as low-key as they can. We park in a corner full of longtimers, excellent vibe, great camaraderie.
