Fleezoid Posted December 20, 2020 Posted December 20, 2020 Great feeling for all of us. I see alot of old-timers here. Myself included. I was 34 last we captured the division. The one big difference ... 25 years ago, we were on (what we didn't realize) was a down-slope. Now, We're on a big rise! Daboll's offense is red hot! Jazzed for the next couple of games and can't wait to see who's the playoff foe! We're peaking and can take on anyone now!! 1
Utah John Posted December 20, 2020 Posted December 20, 2020 My daughter was born on the day the Bills clinched the AFCE in 1995. My wife is still upset that I went home to go watch the game. And why not? She was asleep after giving birth, and our daughter didn't care. Nothing so dramatic this time. 1

I was 32 and had only being dating my future wife for about 7 months. We've been married for 23 years now and our 18 and 20 year old sons just got to experience the first AFC East title of their young lives. The four of us were all watching together. I spent all day leading up to the game thinking about my mom and dad. Mom passed in 2008 and dad in November of 2019. So many other Bills fans who are no longer with us to share in the joy. Soak it all in and cherish the memories fellow Bills fans. 1 1

Jazzed for the next couple of games and can't wait to see who's the playoff foe! We're peaking and can take on anyone now!! I think we all realized in 1995 that the team was slipping down. We had lost a lot of key players from the SB teams, and the new guys weren't working out as well. Key: a lot of the leaders on the team had left as FAs, or retired, and there wasn't as much cohesiveness or determination any more. I think 1995 was the end of the era. When we got back, in 1999, we had a great defense but the QB drama had started. It's been a long time since we finally got that fixed.
Joe Ferguson Posted December 20, 2020 Posted December 20, 2020 Josh Allen is effing hungry to give us the trophy!
Chandler#81 Posted December 20, 2020 Posted December 20, 2020 Is the the geriatric thread? I’m hungry. Is the 5pm Blue Plate special still available? Sit down, Whippersnappers. Lemme tell ya ‘bout some other Title years.. #AFCEChamps! 1

Soak it all in and cherish the memories fellow Bills fans. I'll add a shoutout to Bob Dylan who wrote it. I don't have kids of my own but asked my nephews and nieces how they felt. They don't know how to act. Sorry that your parents are not around to celebrate. My Dad is gone but my Mom is 88 and still a loyal fan. She keeps saying to hurry up cuz she ain't getting any younger. As to the bolded, I been saying all year long that "These are the good ole days". Loved Carly Simon as a kid and take her lyrics to heart! Enjoy the win my friend!

jkeerie Posted December 20, 2020 Posted December 20, 2020 I was 42. As much as I loved the Bills of the 4 Super Bowls...this is my favorite Bills team. I remember my Dad evaluating all the QBs after those years. He would say, "He doesn't have it." I don't think he would have said that about Josh Allen. He would have loved him! 1
VaMilBill Posted December 20, 2020 Posted December 20, 2020 I was still in diapers. I gotta say, these are very exciting times for my generation of bills fans. Seeing us as one of the top teams in the league is awesome. Still getting used to it and cherishing it. Hope this lasts a long time
