Which Bills Moments Legitimately Made You Cry?

[H2o]

Seeing Kyle in the locker room with his boys when Dalton came through with that TD pass against the Ravens. Just that whole scene of jubilation from the players, coaches, the Pegs, and everyone else. I have to admit, that got me a little.

Lets see..after every Jauron press conference, hiring Rex Ryan, hiring his slob brother Rob now that was a bona-fide tear jerker.

No game has made me cry.  I did well up when Kelly was pointing to his son Hunter calling him his hero during his HOF speech.  

 

Dad thing I guess.

[Bad Things]

Last year, when we made the playoff was the first time I've gotten emotional for a game.

 

The other time was during Jim Kelly's HOF speech.

 

 

Let's go Buffalo!

[Buftex]

The only time I actually, titty-baby cried over sports (where I wasn't playing in a game) was the day it was official that the the Braves were leaving Buffalo. I was really devastated.

 

As the Bills were destroying the Raiders in the 1990 AFC Championship, it finally sunk in to me that we were about to "win" our first Super Bowl.  There was a shot on tv of Jim Kelly throwing footballs into the stands of Rich Stadium...I got pretty choked up.

but Ronnie Harmon dropping the winning TD pass in that playoff game in Cleveland was the last time I got angry or upset

 

 

Must you remind us.

When the Bengals scored that TD against the Ravens. It was a catharsis.

As the 1990 AFC Championship game was winding down, realizing that the Bills were about to "win" their first Super Bowl.  I just remember, as the Bills were destroying the Raiders, there was a tv shot of Jim Kelly throwing footballs into the stands of Rich Stadium...I got pretty choked up. 

The Braves leaving was a weepable moment; why they left was a flood.

I was really upset...for weeks.

I don't cry for the BILLS  but I have a friend who came down with a case of Shingles because of the Music City debacle.

The going line was that it was all John Brown's fault.  But Paul Snyder was just as guilty and made big bucks from the entire fiasco.

That team could have been dominant if it hadn't been for ownership greed.  Adrian Dantley works out at my club and told me they had a Braves reunion not too long ago.  Sad stuff.

[The Real Buffalo Joe]

Not necessarily Bills. But as dumb as it sounds, I grew up a die hard Indians fan because the Bisons were their farm club from when I was 5 till I was 19. When it was announced that the Indians were dropping us, I don't think I cried, but I was quite upset.  

[zonabb]

Never, it's not that important in my life to be worthy of tears. Jesus.

Believe it or not, the 2013 game where EJ lead the GW drive against Carolina at home.

 

It shouldn't have been anything more than a cool moment, but, well...

 

My mother had died that summer, and she was a big Bills fan.  She told me that she really liked EJ, that he was a great kid, and that she really wanted him to do well.

 

He threw that pass to Stevie and I just lost it.  Yep, a 32 year old man subjugated in heaving sobs.

 

The same thing happened when Andy Dalton threw that TD pass to Tyler Boyd.  Same reason: my 96-year old grandfather was on his death bed.  He lived just long enough to see them make the playoffs one last time.  He went to bed that night and never woke up; passing on a few days later.

 

Did I cry over the Bills, or did I cry over my loss of people I loved?

 

Both I think.

I didn't read all of the pages of the thread so not sure if it's been posted.  The "comeback" always wells me up.  It is the epitome of what it means to be a Bills fan.  To never give up, to always keep trying, to be an underdog,  to have your back against the wall and prevail.  To me, that game sums up a personal philosophy of overcoming adversity and I also think that most Bills fans appreciate that old school, blue color philosophy.

January 1, 1967, the Chiefs v the Bills at the Rock Pile and killed Buffalo 31 - 7 advancing to the first Football World Championship now know as the Super Bowl. I was in the 5th grade, the Bills always won and my father took me to the game. Despite coming from an avid AFL family and neighborhood I wanted the Packers to kill the Chiefs just for revenge!

This is why I know I'm gonna cry when we win it all. Not so much for the Bills winning it, which I know I'll be ecstatic for. But all my grandparents, my uncle, and my cousin who have all passed on were die hards. So it'll be bittersweet celebrating something they never got to experience.

Me too.

 

I don't cry, I get enraged, then depressed. Which is probably worse. I just HATE losing.

 

I've definitely got better with it in the last year or so. A disappointing Bills loss used to get under my skin and stick with me far longer than it should.

 

My deepest apologies for those of you that follow me on Twitter; my language isn't always that foul.

[Fadingpain]

None.

 

 This is football for Christ's sake.
