I feel the same way about Journey. I can change the station within the first two bars of the song. 1

As a former WNYer I was thinking the collective scream that many WNYer's used to do at the first snowflake of the season....some were screams of happiness and some were not.....that would inspire any defence to make the stop...

It seems that many fans hate the horn. I even found a link to a change.org page trying to get it removed, LOL!! What say you?? I like it BUT......is it not racist towards buffalo. After all the train going west is what killed them all off.... 1

I havent played a Madden game in years but if its the same exact whistle I'd probably demolish the stadium & move the franchise elsewhere. Anything other than having to hear it while playing a game... it'd drive me mad lol 1

Nick the Greek Posted January 3, 2019 Posted January 3, 2019 Is it just me or does it seemed like we ripped the horn off from the Pats*? They always play a boat horn or something on third down. It sounds similar to what the Bills play. With that being the case, get rid of it and do something original.
dpberr Posted January 3, 2019 Posted January 3, 2019 I voted for it to be retired. The team overuses it.

Nextmanup Posted January 3, 2019 Posted January 3, 2019 Would love to see the train horn replaced with a bunch of Alphorn players decked out in Bills garb. I can't really think of a connection between the Alphorn and the Buffalo Bills, but what the hell. Could be cool. 1
Gugny Posted January 3, 2019 Author Posted January 3, 2019 What is the noise that they use at Gillette? Is it someone turning on an electric razor? 1
buffalobillswin Posted January 3, 2019 Posted January 3, 2019 My first thought when seeing this thread: "Who on the team is nicknamed train horn?" 1
Lurker Posted January 3, 2019 Posted January 3, 2019 Definitely GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO...
BillsFan1988 Posted January 3, 2019 Posted January 3, 2019 2 hours ago, brianthomas said: Literally EVERYONE i've talked to about this agrees that the train whistle is not only annoying, but its downright embarrassing. As far as the lore goes of the team, it doesn't even make sense or fit in with our team. The sound of a Buffalo stampede makes the most sense, stampeding Bison would work. Perhaps even just having Native American drumming. ANYTHING BUT THE DAMN WHISTLE! The whistle is the equivalent of a siren playing at a dance music club. It was cool the 1st time u heard it 20 years ago, but now when it plays it makes you cringe. Please, just make it stop What are u still doing at the clubs after 20yrs lol. Me myself im more of a bar scene kind of guy. I can actually hear what people are saying when they talk. Idk once i hit 38 didnt care to much bout dancing anymore.
msw2112 Posted January 3, 2019 Posted January 3, 2019 I can't stand it. If having a loud sound play on 3rd down offers a competitive advantage, please come up with something else. I don't have much live experience with it, but it is extremely annoying and irritating when watching on TV.
BillsFan1988 Posted January 3, 2019 Posted January 3, 2019 Yea the whistle got to go. While there at it bring bk the Red helmets and Red End Zones man do i miss those . 1

youngjebrey Posted January 3, 2019 Posted January 3, 2019 Don’t really have an opinion on the train horn one way or another but I may have another unpopular opinion.... The shout song needs to go. Can’t stand it, I hate it, I hate when people try to start it. It’s like sweet Caroline at Fenway. It’s run it course.
