LABILLBACKER Posted May 3, 2019 Posted May 3, 2019 First of all props to Corta for a great post. Every post I've read so far is perfect in different ways. It's about family, comraderie, passion. A pure fellowship of the brethren who I've seen throughout the country. We follow them thru good and bad because we're "locked in" for life. We work hard and never give up. I've been a crazed Bills fan from LA for over 50 years. Wouldn't have it any other way.
Over 29 years of fanhood Posted May 3, 2019 Posted May 3, 2019 It’s the strep throat test that Bellichick guy just took

Chandler#81 Posted May 3, 2019 Posted May 3, 2019 The insane fans response to decades of bad football. It’s the only continuous culture the team has since last century. 2

OldTimeAFLGuy Posted May 3, 2019 Posted May 3, 2019 ....it's a tough call....just an unsubstantiated guess, but maybe the national media spotlight on the table diving stuff was NOT the image Kim wanted to portray....so she advocates clamping down a bit on public decorum WITHOUT destroying well known "Bills fandemonium ( RIP Van)" ............
LSHMEAB Posted May 3, 2019 Posted May 3, 2019 (edited) Losing with pride! I'd love to see that change, but it's been our culture for a LONG time. I like it when someone asks why I'm a Bills fan. That's my team. It's very simple. When they win, it's going to mean a h*ll of a lot more to me than when the (Warriors/Patriots/Yankees) or whoever you currently root for wins. Of course there are real Warriors/Pats/Yankees fans, but you get the gist. I think that speaks to the "culture." Through all the misery, Bills fans persist. The sense of "loyalty" is real.

Bills fans have faith that this year is the year, every year, never mind what others say. No fan base is more passionate; Bills fans proudly wear their Bills gear wherever they are. They come out in any weather, under any circumstances to support their team, in opposing stadiums or not. That passion is sometimes shown in extreme ways such as table diving. But passion and faith, even after 17 years with no playoffs. That's the basis of the culture. so many years without being on top of the League and WE still get excited on a game day for the Bills.
TigerJ Posted May 4, 2019 Posted May 4, 2019 The McDermott culture is players who are passionate about football, and manifest that passion as discipline to engage in a dedicated process to improve their individual play and support their teammates.
Rocket94 Posted May 5, 2019 Posted May 5, 2019 I remember very vividly...like yesterday when I worked security years ago. My fellow guards and I were not allowed to have TV's at work. We used to huddle around a little tv and watch Bills games at the main gate...it was freezing cold, but the spirit was there. After work there was a local bar just screaming Bills! It was contagious.
Buffalo Barbarian Posted May 6, 2019 Posted May 6, 2019 (edited) Players who live and breathe Football. The Knights Templar of the NFL. Fan culture, doesn't concern me. If idiots want to jump on flaming tables and cover themselves in mustard, have at it. Edited May 6, 2019 by Buffalo Barbarian
judman Posted May 6, 2019 Posted May 6, 2019 Get wasted, jump through tables, squirt ketchup and mustard on a guy, eat good food, etc. All good with me. I'm not a fan of fighting... But that's certainly not a Buffalo-only thing. I did watch a guy dump gas onto a table and light it on fire before others jumped on the flaming table (he had a cigarette hanging out of his mouth). That's just plain dumb. I walked away from that scene.
