But who cares I couldn't be prouder of this fanbase. 1

DrDawkinstein Posted January 2, 2018 Posted January 2, 2018 Over $100,000!!!!!! Could not be more proud to be a Bills fan. 2

wppete Posted January 2, 2018 Posted January 2, 2018 This is absolutely amazing. Over $150,000. How do we get the Pegulas to send some donations and even the Bengals owners to send money???? Let’s figure it out. Go Bills!!!!! 1
DrDawkinstein Posted January 2, 2018 Posted January 2, 2018 For every donation sent in, I'm power-bombing my drunk Grandma through another flaming folding table! 3 1

Go Bills!!!!! i wonder what the ethical issues are of an owner of one team contributing money because of a game? I understand it's harmless in this situation, but it might be something Pegulas avoid. 2

Wouldn't be shocked if the Pegulas matched unless it's against NFL rules. Edited January 2, 2018 by 26CornerBlitz 1
zow2 Posted January 2, 2018 Posted January 2, 2018 (edited) I'm with the folks that think this should remain a fan-only donation spree. Keep the Bills, Pegulas, New Era, etc. out of this other than their retweets. Let's see how much we can all raise together. A small organization such as this is probably happy to raise on average $1,000 - $2,000 or so a week, don't ya think? This is insane. Edited January 2, 2018 by zow2

Man, there has been so many great moments in sports that I have seen and that sports have provide me. This one, with this charity, and for the reasoning behind it, truly falls under the category of a nice moment for all those involved. I'm so proud of this fan base, and still very appreciative to AD for the pass. 1

Leave corporate out of it Yes, it is best if "corporate" stays out of it and doesn't donate $100k+ to charity in a move that would also bring positive national attention and make us look like a better city to play for to free agents.
Peter Posted January 2, 2018 Posted January 2, 2018 It is great that this play has so much more meaning beyond football. Andy seems like a great guy and his and his wife's foundation addresses a significant need. It you guys are looking to donate, another symbolic number is $49.00, because the play was a 49 yard TD pass.

Christmas is coming, the geese are getting fat Please put a penny in Andy Dalton's hat If you haven't got a penny, a ha'penny will do If you haven't got a ha'penny, then God bless you! God Bless and Go Bills! 2
