  1. It should be a fun season and hopefully a fun 4 or 5 years.
  2. Show off! Anyone could have read the article.....😄
  3. Wonder how many NFL HoFer's are also in the CFL HoF? Could be a good trivia question (no Google allowed).
  4. Has the team said how many fans will be allowed for home games this coming season? I swear, I searched the site to the best of my technical ability and didn't see it so apologize in advance if this has already been covered. Asking because I have to be in WNY this fall and would like to try to get to a game.
  5. This to me is the ultimate sign of dedication! Having been born the same year as the Bills and grew up with pretty bad teams (I don't count 64/65 because I barely remember them) mostly and have hung in there as a fan even though I've been away from Buffalo way longer than I lived there (41 years v. 19 years). Like many on this board I've driven from hours away to see a game, turned around and drove home, or flown in depending on where I lived and my then economic situation. But mostly, the dedication comes from pride in my home town, pride in the Bills and the "root for the underdog" I have in me. A recent short story: As I finally got to the check in line for my first vaccine a couple weeks ago, the guy checking me in saw my Bills mask and said "oh, I bet you're just wearing that because they're good all of a sudden" to which I said "no, wearing it because I was born and raised in Buffalo and have been following them since I was a little kid." That really ticked me off....
  6. Maybe the first one. The rest look like bad high school helmets IMHO....of course I still like the standing red buffalo on a white helmet....pure magic...
  7. Condolences. My mom passed away a year ago this week - another big Bills fan. In fact she and my dad were at the '64 Championship game and ran on the field, which knowing my parents, blows me away. One way we can honor our moms is to stay true to the Bills!
  8. How can you forget the guy who made "they're killing me Whitey, they're killing me" famous (albeit while he was with the Bronco's)?
  9. The three Edmund brothers were here in Richmond, VA at a high school football game to see their cousin play two Friday's ago. Friend of mine got a picture of them standing together - when you see them standing next to "normal" sized folks you get a sense of how big they are.....
  10. I imagine experience in an intermural flag football league in college doesn't counts?
  11. I'm very encouraged as the team should be contenders for the next several years. Should be fun. Reminds me a lot of '88 to 94, except I hope they don't have a Ronnie Harmon drop in the playoffs next year and then lose 4 SB's!
  12. As in Mighty Taco Stadium? That would be cool.....they could rotate names like Might Taco - Al Pastor Stadium or Mighty Taco - Carne Asada Stadium....
  13. I stumbled across the 1968 Bills highlights film on YT last week and it was a pretty sad year, but one of the highlights was a Marty Schottenheimer pick 6. Made me wonder what happened to him and sad to hear about this. It seems to me that I've heard about several "old timers" who have either died from or have been diagnosed with Alzheimer and I can't help but wonder if its somehow related to blows to the head?
  14. What if they got a reasonably big check? Not SB losing size, but enough to get them interested? I actually think injuries are a bigger issue, but just wondering.
  15. He seems to be a real competitor which I like and will endear him to Bills fans.
  16. That's right, it was 30 years ago tonight that I was curled up on the kitchen floor silently crying.....with my wife, the non-sports fan saying.....but its just one game.....
  17. I was born while Eisenhower was president (just barely)....for you younger fans, he was the GOAT in WW II.... Brady wasn't around then as far as I know.....
  18. I have to agree with this. I actually feel pretty good this morning thinking that the Bills should be more than competitive the next few seasons but then that damn free agency concept gets into my brain and I forget that teams can lose just as quickly as they gained....hopefully the front office can keep the key players together....
  19. To your point, Stratton's hit on Keith Lincoln turned the game for the Bills and allowed them to win their first world championship. It has to be top 3, given that none of the other plays resulted in a world championship. Regarding Bailey's interception - I was at that game and it certainly came at a critical moment in an otherwise very tight game and lead to the AFC championship so I think that's top 3 as well.
  20. That's a great list. I'm surprised that I have no recollection of the Simpson interception at the end of the Jets playoff game. I recall the game, but not the play...weird.....
