Let’s be more creative and come up with traditions and tag lines that others are envious of. We have mastered that on the tailgating end. I really wish that we had something like this though (my favorite tradition in sports): I love that Pink Floyd used this at the end of "Fearless." Always a fan of hearing those @ Anfield singing it.

In troubled years of the next generation, many times Bills games were the only non-confrontational time we had. 2 hours ago, 26CornerBlitz said: Some actually might and especially so if the Bills evolve into a perennial contender under the Beane-McDermott regime. Foresight. And if the opposite happens and McDermott and/or Beane move on, they can't use it with a new team.

Like driving towards Buffalo on the I-90 from Erie Pa. and having a sign stating "Buffalo: An All American City" . Does it even say "American"? I thought it said "All-America City" which just seems like bad grammar. In any case I think the same slogan appears when you approach Albany.

David Putnam also apparently bought high on Vernon David and Mohamed Sanu. https://stocktwits.com/symbol/EJMLL But smartest move EJ ever made.

That's just silly. Like saying other cities suck. 2 hours ago, FappyTheClown said: I'd buy a McDermott respect the process T-shirt. Would you wear it in public if the Bills start out 0-4 ?

iinii Posted June 2, 2018 Posted June 2, 2018 Ugh.....how about beat the Patriots and put the league on notice to respect this. 1

And we took our logo from some Division 3 college too right? And the "12th man" thing we took from Texas A&M"....and....you're right, we take a lot from other places lol

Sixers were the most losing team in sports history for 4 years when they coined the process. We made the playoffs for the first time in 18 years when the coined it year one. Sounds like an excuse in case we lose. "Folks trust us in a few years"

There was even a time we were sued and couldn’t use Shout. The fact that they are trying to trademark the whole “process” thing is ridiculous. Everyone knows that’s the 76ers thing. For crying out loud Embiid is nicknamed “The Process.” If Allen is good are we just going to call him the same thing? It’s lazy, kind of annoying and not that inspiring. It feels so forced. Real traditions are grown organically. We have mastered that as a fan base. From the tailigating to the “Billsmafia” hashtag we are unique. Other fans are jealous of us because of the way that we go all out for our team. The organization’s creativity and effort hasn’t matched ours. It’s disappointing. I’m not saying that we need the Golden Knights pre-game ceremony but can’t we come up with some traditions that belong to us?? It’s not asking that much. Let’s come up with our own tag lines, traditions and songs (although Shout stays too). Edited June 2, 2018 by Kirby Jackson
JoPar_v2 Posted June 2, 2018 Posted June 2, 2018 Ugh the cringe is off the charts. So friggin’ lame. 1
C.Biscuit97 Posted June 2, 2018 Posted June 2, 2018 This is super corny. No one besides Bills fans associate this with the Bills. it also seems like they are covering their butts if they are terrible for a few years. “I know we have gone 1-15 for the last 3 years. But trust the process!” 1 1

Later they came to agreement Edited June 2, 2018 by Buffalo716
