I can actually hear what people are saying when they talk. Idk once i hit 38 didnt care to much bout dancing anymore. I'm the same tbh. Once you reach a certain age it takes a bit more effort to get you in the dancing mood & even then it can be a workout, so theres a time & place for it for sure. But I've been an electronic music dj since I was shoot 20, so I have friends who are promoters & run nights at various spots around town where I'll get an occasional gig or make an appearance. I produce my own music these days because I've moved beyond that younger lifestyle, but still know enough that you can do better than blast some ghastly train whistle every other minute 1 1

Train horn and shout song should go imo- its tired and time for something new. 17 minutes ago, youngjebrey said: 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. Bingo- the shout song is horrible, old, and annoying.

I can't really think of a connection between the Alphorn and the Buffalo Bills, but what the hell. Could be cool. Riiiiicolaaaaaaa
Over 29 years of fanhood Posted January 3, 2019 Posted January 3, 2019 I like it because it alerts me the commercials are over and it’s time to pay attention
LittleSammy Posted January 3, 2019 Posted January 3, 2019 Didn't the Bills play the stampeding Buffalo video on 3rd downs back in the 90's? It was so long ago I can't be certain. They are right, your memory is the second thing to go!

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?? Didnt they have a herd of Buffalos stampeding before big plays back in the 90s? I seem to recall that when I was a kid. Seems much more appropriate than a train horn. 6 minutes ago, LittleSammy said: Didn't the Bills play the stampeding Buffalo video on 3rd downs back in the 90's?

Gray Beard Posted January 3, 2019 Posted January 3, 2019 I seem to hear it much more often than just on third down. I say keep it, but use it less.

Chandemonium Posted January 4, 2019 Posted January 4, 2019 When did the train horn start? I never had seasons, but went to 4-5 games a year before moving out of WNY in 2012, and I don’t recall hearing it then. Now when I watch games on tv or in the handful of games I’ve been able to go to since, I find it distracting and annoying.

I have model trains, I have traveled to see rail trains, take pictures of trains etc.. THIS HORN IS THE DUMBEST MOTHERF*CKING THING EVER AND I SAY THAT AS SOMEONE WHO LIKES TRAIN HORNS AND COULD TELL YOU THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THEM. MAY IT DIE FOREVER! On a funny note my brother's mother in law was watching the Bills game and remarked there must be train tracks nearby because she heard like 10-14 trains go by during the game haha They should make it 2 longs, a short, and a long. 1
frostbitmic Posted January 4, 2019 Posted January 4, 2019 I kinda like it .... When I hear it, I mute the tube and watch the game in silence, it really is better that way.
BillsfaninChicago Posted January 4, 2019 Posted January 4, 2019 The real question is if on an international flight you had to sit next to either someone blowing the train horn every 15 minutes or Billy Buffalo. Who would you pick? 1

What say you?? Since that petition appears to have been started by our very own @3rdand12 I do believe that you owe him an apology. https://www.change.org/p/fans-of-the-buffalo-bills-put-a-stop-to-the-buffalo-bills-3rd-down-train-horn Quote We all know the familiar sound... the 3rd and 12, here comes the Train Horn sound of failure.

I'd replace with either the stampede footage (Dances with Wolves) or, preferably, the Loyal Order of the Water Buffalo Handshake (Flintstones). Go, Go, Buff-a-lo! That was my freakin’ favorite!!!! ?
Buffalo Barbarian Posted January 4, 2019 Posted January 4, 2019 Should stay, love it. Also would like War sirens and Giant bells.
Dr.Sack Posted January 4, 2019 Posted January 4, 2019 Go because the fans should have to generate the noise. That goes for every NFL team.
