To learn and to laugh really. 

 

I've learnt more on these boards about football than I have anywhere else. It's also good fun. 

 

I found the trick to enjoy is not take yourself and others too seriously. Nothing is ever personal.

I live in the Midwest and don't have anyone to talk to about the Bills. In the early 2000s, I started going to the team's website for news. Then I saw a link to a fan message board (the old, infamous BBMB) and started reading that. I lurked for a couple of years before getting an account and posting. When BBMB shut down, I started looking for other BB fan forums, found several, and liked TBD the best, so here I am.

 

I'm also semi-retired and I don't have a lot of hobbies. (If I did, I'd probably retire completely.) So I have a fair amount of free time. I've been watching football since I was a kid but never learned a lot of the nuances of the game. Some of you who watch the All-22 and can analyze game film have taught me a lot about the Xs and Os. I also appreciate the camaraderie of being around fellow Bills fans.

I come for a few reasons…one, I love the Bills and being born, raised, and living in CA you don’t get a lot of Bills news and coverage here, so this is the best place for it.

 

Two, football is my sport, always has been and always will be.  It’s something I talk and follow year round.  So I love analyzing and discussing it in general, but even more so about the Bills.  And again, living in CA I have some friends here who are Bills fans, but most obviously aren’t, so this is best place to talk Bills year round.  
 

Three, I love discussion and debating in general too, so being able to do it about something I love as much as football and the Bills is even better. 
 

Then there is the entertainment factor between great and utterly terrible threads/posts 😂

What a little B word thread.  

 

Are you just mad because you found your Christmas present from your wife....a red #19 Isiah McKenzie jersey.  She thinks he still plays for the Bills and bragging to herself internally that she's getting a steal of a deal.  

 

"$3.75 when these are normally like $125.00....yes please!"

Because the other people at work don't follow the NFL close enough to have any meaningful conversations. 

 

So you have a sport that everyone enjoys, but half of them are fans of teams and don't watch the games or really know anything past a few players on the team.

Classic Chans.  I expect no less from you.  Lamentation of the women is of particular interest.

 

As far as the existential question, it’s pretty simple, I enjoy hearing balanced measured opinions on various Bills and/or NFL topics as can learn or at least open to hearing differing points of view.  Some not all have a good understanding of football and strategy.  I neither Pollyanna nor a cynic of the team, coaching and Mgmt.

 

Like many good teams, they do some things quite well, and others could be better.  Recently, I’m very curious as to how the three additions this week could positively or possibly negatively impact Sunday nights game.

 

Lastly, my friends and family know how nuts I am for the Bills and need a place to get away from the career and other necessities in life.

72, thanks for starting the thread.  It’s a sound question.

Because I came here to make fun of Dolphins and Pats fans and make people laugh 

 

Jets fans write their own jokes themselves

Mainly for updates. It's no different than any other Bills forum just on a larger scale of posters, people who love every move they make, people who hate every move they make, and those who try to remain objective. I like reading the various opinions, but for me, there's nothing ground-breaking ever said by anyone here that makes me change my opinion or outlook of the team/player(s)/coaches.

There's three people that I enjoy reading their threads and posts.  

 

 

 

And 35,678 that annoy me, and I can't believe some of the stuff they put up there. 

I thank you Jack, I love your posts too 

Who are the other two?
