Stop Going To The Airport

[chris heff]

Is it okay if I go to the Palm Beach airport? It’s actually kind of serene, sometimes there is a pianist.

That story took an unexpected twist!  Thought it was going to be a sweet soul warming antedote, but it quickly turned to violence.  Did NOT see that coming.

Check the author of the post.  I rest my case.

Fan is short for Fanatic.  It doesn't have to make sense.

[Ridgewaycynic2013]

What are channels 2, 4, and 7 going to do for three minutes of filler if the fans don't turn out?  4-H Bake Sale coverage in Marilla? 🤔

[r00tabaga]

He's right you know. We SHOULD have went to Kansas City's airport Sunday night.

Ok we've hit a point where the airport thing has lost its uniqness and specialness. Fans were at the gate Sunday after they beat Miami and I am here to say ya'll gotta stop.

 

When they broke the drought, when they clinched the division, heck when they truly clinched the playoffs against PIT in 2019 I get going those days. Those were big important days which celebrations are worth. I myself would've went in 2020 had they beat Houston as winning your first playoff game in 20+ years also is one of those big moments.

 

But were at the point people are just going for the sake of going. Beating a team to get to 1-1 ruins the coolness that had been established prior. Some of you may say I am no fun, but to me things like greeting the team at the airport should be received for occasions that grant it. Truth be told now that the team has made progress I'd rather see this held back to winning the AFC title, then just a regular season win that really isn't special at all.

 

 

Where do you stand on the jumping on tables thing, that's kinda old too

 

and the whole Bills Mafia thing, not only old but kinda silly

 

and what's up with the buying players jersey thing ... do you REALLY think people believe you're Josh Allen

 

while were at it, why go to the stadium? it's cheaper to stay home and you get a much better seat.

 

tailgating???? come on been there done that.

SNAP!

 

If it's lost its uniqueness and specialness for you, there seems to  be a simple and a practical solution...

 

.....don't you go

Yep. AFC Champ and SB are the only wins left that warrant greeting the team at the airport.

Fans have been greeting the bills at the airport for away playoff wins for years 

 

Or away clinching playoff games 

 

Every away game there's always a few people who will show up cuz they have nothing better to do.. I don't think there was a crowd of a thousand people

Can we still go to the airport if we have a flight to catch? (forgot to add...just asking for a friend)

 

What if our hobby is Planespotting?

One of these things are vastly different then the other and going to the airport is vastly different. There is a reason when fan turnouts happen its for big events with other teams and that is because it is for an occasion that warrants it.

I did admit to being part of the fun police

 

OR go when we've actually done something

Or I’m just fine with our team coming home and being greeted by fans. Probably feels good for them.

The more it happens the more it becomes routine and honestly corny. It was super cool the first few times which usually were big moments. There is nothing big or momentous on a week 2 win over a team we've been crushing. Be better with expectations and something that in the past had a cool meaning.

Only trainspotting

[r00tabaga]

Let's just all go to Dulles airport this Sunday night.

 

Fixed. Everybody's happy

[Logic]

Bills Mafia after Bass makes a 37 yard field goal attempt:

[Metal Man]

Do the players still enjoy seeing the fans there regardless of the importance of the game?

 

I would think their opinion matters the most.

I'll be sure to keep a side eye on Fergy going forward.  🤨  Thanks!

Was just there.  You have to take a train to get to most of the gates.  Waaay too much work!

I totally agree.  I think fans should be at the airport after home practices just to show our support!  Storm the field and tear the goal posts down after every first down too!!

[Cantankeous]

That’s 5 minutes I’ll never get back..

 

Whazzamattawitchoo!
