I’m well used to the fair share of abuse we get as Bills fans, but was genuinely floored by how extreme it was yesterday. I’ll definitely think about it and smile as we win the division and hoist the Lombardi. It was over the top. Serius XM radio was just as bad tonight too. And reading people trash the team here and then hide behind some cowardly “the truth hurts “ crap is just as bad as what’s been going on the last couple days. I was hoping to see some concerted Bills mafia-ish effort against some of this but it doesn’t seem like anyone really cares about it this time. Disappointing. Well, anything like what the OP is suggesting would be a nice idea. Edited March 9, 2019 by bobblehead 1

Josh Allen is trash. Buffalo is trash. Nobody wants to play in Buffalo... I hope every member of the Bills is listening to this crap. I hope it pisses them off.

They want to make it an insult, I hope the Bills wear it as a badge of honor. Winter is Coming? You're damn right it is.... I couldn’t agree more. It’s total bs that everything about Buffalo got trashed because of some ego ####### who doesn’t want to play here. Go ask Shady what he thinks of Buffalo. Here’s a guy that got blindsided in a trade and “got sent to Buffalo”. I love the letter of dedication that he wrote at the end of the 2017 season. He bought in and others had and has bought in as well. I agree, build the biggest, baddest snot dripping hogs for the OL and call them “The Wall”. Then go out there and smash every ***** out there that ridiculed our organization and region. In addition I want to say that I hope and think that Beane took this personal. I like him, I think that he’s totally committed and not just from a personal standpoint but more importantly from a community standpoint. He strikes me as someone who is unapologetic and could care less what others on the outside think and that he has no problem striking back and wanting others to realize why. No quit, no surrender. The mantra of us against the world never fit so well. Btw, I LOVE the picture! Go Bills! Edited March 9, 2019 by Tipster19 2
papazoid Posted March 9, 2019 Posted March 9, 2019 it has nothing to do with the actual city, region, people, etc.... a little to do with the weather... mostly to do with the likelihood of not making the playoffs. a recent 17 year drought, the 32nd ranked QB, coaching carousel, no other pro bowlers/lack of talent 1

He basically said the Bills don't throw throw to receivers and he can freeze for the rest of his career in Buffalo. He's just as harsh on the dolphins and jets as he is on the Bills in terms of how bad they've been. I'm not surprised that someone who got perturbed over a thread about who should lead the charge that was actually a joke would be so annoyed by laughter. That was actually a good idea....wasted....and political. (I got a warning for less one time.) I wasn’t perturbed. I was disappointed at the waste. We can agree to disagree once again. I love laughter, I am not a huge fane of their silliness and giggling at each other to fill air time when I rarely find anything that humorous. JMO. To each their own. 1

Since I responded to @BringBackFergy...I will respond to this. Some of the best smallie fishing in the world is done here in Chicago by the lock. Smallmouth like "stucture"... It's nothing but structure here, concrete floor, sheet piling/metal cells... I-beams... You can walk the barges in an see the huge smallmouth that lurk below in the cyrstal clear zebra mussel filtered water This was caught last May... Right at lock gates, notice sector (lock) gates in background. It's off limits to fishing except for the chosen few thay attemp to do "research" fishing... LoL... Wink Wink...

HurlyBurly51 Posted March 9, 2019 Posted March 9, 2019 Ignorance is bliss. I read that AB was coming here, then read it was "fake news" and moved on with my day. I missed out on all the outrage, and consequently am happy and content today. I'm sure FA will provide more butt hurt opportunities though? 2

If Bills were in Toronto, would Antonio Brown have nixed the trade? Edited March 9, 2019 by ExiledInIllinois 1

My understanding is in AB's case he wanted his contract redone, and probably would've been open to OBJ money but the FO didn't offer that. Gotta sometimes pay above market rate if you really want a difference maker. In this case, I'm glad they didn't.
Call_Of_Ktulu Posted March 9, 2019 Posted March 9, 2019 Im glad we took a shot at AB, I didn't think it would be a good fit but I'm glad Beanie went through the process to even have a chance at him. What really pisses my off is all these media outlets that slam the Buffalo area any chance that they get. I am the total opposite of being thin skinned when it comes to this crap but it still pisses me off. I absolutely love just talking football and discussing other people's opinions "except with Pats fans because they are total D-Bags".We always open up a tab and buy a bunch of local Bills fans shots and beers and it's always a great time. These media personalities that said all that uncalled for crap towards Buffalo really need to stop doing it. 90% of the media haters have never even been there to experience how truly amazing it is to watch the sea of Red, White, and Blue fill that stadium and transfer an amazing amount of energy to those players.

Warcodered Posted March 9, 2019 Posted March 9, 2019 What bothered me was the explosion of twitter and the media acting like Brown coming here was the equivalent to him being exiled to Siberia.
Inigo Montoya Posted March 9, 2019 Author Posted March 9, 2019 (edited) The national sports media simply doesn’t pay attention to Buffalo and usually don’t know what they’re talking about. I was listening to Fox Sports Radio on the way home from work early this morning and the two hosts were talking about this. One of them said AB will regret not going to Buffalo, that the Bills are a lot closer to contending than the Raiders are. The other guy scoffed and said the Raiders were closer and then said a bunch of stuff about Josh Allen and the Bills that was simply not accurate. He was woefully uninformed about the Bills but that didn’t slow him down. He’s supposed to be a professional sports commentator and know his stuff. Instead, he sounded like any other half drunk loud mouth spouting off about the Bills at the bar of an Applebee’s in an airport concourse waiting for his flight. Edited March 9, 2019 by Inigo Montoya

Ross Tucker on the Dan Patrick Show said how much he loved playing for Buffalo, and he played for four other teams in his 7 year career. It seems everyone who's played for us loves it after the fact, even if they weren't so excited before! 2
