What a great place to come and talk football

We really should appreciate how good this message board is compared to most other teams' boards. They are either inactive or toxic because they don't have any mods. 

 

I was annoyed that the official Bills message board was shut down years ago (thanks Russ Brandon), but this one is a great place to talk to fellow Bills fans.

No idea what to expect.  This team could be on top of the league, to open the season or to end it.  Given how competitive the league is, it could miss the playoffs (but I don't expect that).   

 

I no longer believe I actually have any ability to foresee what's coming.  Just going to live it as it happens.  

 

I generally agree with this - except the bolded. I expect the Bills to be a formidable/competitive team week in and week out. Injuries and unforeseen circumstances notwithstanding (see last season) I don't expect to go into any game thinking we'll be lucky/fortunate to come out with a W.

Earlier today, I took down my Mets flag and hoisted the Bills flag. 
 

I am ready!

 

LOL - my Mets/Bills coffee mugs are in the midst of the transition. Same with the hats

I was in New Hampshire Thursday - Saturday and wore some sort of Bills gear each day/night. 
 

A few Go Bills! And a couple “you should burn that.” 😂

I was in the park last week wearing a Bills shirt and as I go by the tennis courts a guy asks me “Are they gonna win the Super Bowl this year?” I paused and responded “history would say no.”  He was still giggling as I walked away.

A few years ago I had my Bills hat on at the butcher and the guy behind the counter asked me who would be better: Sam or Josh (I live in Jet/Giant country).  I went with Josh - even though by many accounts Sam projected to be better. Now when I walk in with my Bills hat on my head is held a little higher. Looking forward to the day when folks see my Bills gear and don't think of the 4 straight.

I just wanted to say that this really is a great place for Bills fans to come and talk football from our perspective.   A lot of people come here and share ideas about various things, and that's a nice opportunity for all of us. 

 

Take a look at the topics on the first page:  Not a lot about the talents, the pluses and minuses of the position players because, well, it's all been said.  Now, everyone is just ready for things to get going.   In the meantime, lets talk about how the Cowboys are ruining football, Chad Kelly's contract, why someone is optimistic or pessimistic.  It's something to talk about while we're waiting, and pretty much all of us can find something interesting in one or another these topics.  

 

In a sense, it's as though we've all been through preseason and now we're ready.  There's nothing left other than wait.   We're the nervous guys in the landing craft, ready to go ashore on D-Day.  Just idle chatter before the battle.  They did it for real; remarkable courage, and I don't mean to demean them at all.  It's just that we have a similar feeling, trivial by comparison, but similar nonetheless.  

 

This forum provides that idle chatter nicely. 

 

It's like the neighborhood tavern.  Virtually.  

 

Be grateful.

And we have to wait one more day on the regular season plate...The anticipation for the MNF game would be telling.

I was in Orlando last week scouting out locations for my daughter’s wedding, and my wife and I spent 2-3 days at Disney.  I made her a friendly bet I’d get 20 people to tell me “Go Bills!” When wearing my Bills hat and T shirts.  I closed at 29.  One guy with Disney told me no other team generates that kind of response.

 

What a great fan base!  Go Bills!  The Mafia is strong!

This topic is OLD. A NEW topic should be started unless there is a very specific reason to revive this one.
