...if you don't watch the Bills on TV because you think you'll be the bad luck.

 

...even at 13-2, you'll still be fearful of a late season collapse.

 

...you feel every game on the schedule is a trap game.

ummmm....i do enjoy murph and wood on the radio and if it's a good play, i can run to the tv to see it. if i plant myself in front of the tv and they suck, i do feel to blame....

 

however sometimes when we all get our hands up, the opposing kicker misses. worked like a charm against the titans.

 

btw, 10 yrs. old when o.j. broke the record....and i thought iw as old

Some great posts and memories, many on TBD have no idea of 1968, 1971, 1976, 1977, 1984, and 1985 - six horrible seasons mixed with some good times!

...You remember a boy scout tent on the sidelines where the cheerleaders went to change, as well as dozens of men standing on the cinder track behind the snow fence next to the boy scout tent.

 

Wow, that was a thing? 

Creepy, but hilarious.

You remember waiting all day to watch Buffalo Bills Highlights on Saturday afternoon because you couldn’t wait to see what last weeks game looked like!

My father, at War Memorial, wouldn't let me go battle for a football after extra points and FG's.

 

But he did let me nip from his flask....he should have let me fight for a football.

And you believe the man with the flask in his trench coat was your dad? ?

We had an antenna way up on the roof. We had to flip a coin to see who was going up to turn it...especially in the winter!

Alas I am a plank holder. born in 1948, I was 12 when the Bills played their first game.  Remember we used to go to Saturday night games in the Rockpile on a school bus and tickets were $1.  I remember going to a playoff game in '63 vs. the Patsies and the $6 ticket was my must have Christmas present.  Our seats were in the bleachers at War Memorial and the seats were garbage can impressions in the foot of snow that had fallen that week. Also got to see Cookie run for 243 yards and 5 td's [54.5 fantasy points] vs. the Jets in a mosh pit.  That game guaranteed the Jets got the draft pick to select Joe Namath.
