    Like you...San Diego, Charlotte, Mt Laurel?  You do know that not EVERY Bills fan lives in, or is from Buffalo, right?  This fanbase covers the globe.  I do agree with your screen name though.

    Mt. Laurel as in NJ?  That was my last stop prior to being in Virginia.  Very nice place....Don't miss the taxes.  I will say, the vast majority of Bills fans I meet are generally from Buffalo or have a very close relative (usually a parent) from Buffalo.   My unscientific guess is that, unlike the Cowboys or the Patriots or other such teams who probably have more fans out of their geographic area than in, Buffalo fans have some connection to WNY.  Total guess. just based on meeting hundreds of people over the years wearing Bills gear out in public.

    Here come all the out of the region Bills fans who claim they have been fans for 25 years.

    Nope, some of us had the good fortune to be born and raised in WNY, have been gone for more than 25 years and have followed the Bills for 50+ years.  Through mostly bad football punctuated by  bursts of really good football.  Moments like last night and victory over the Jets in 1988, and the Dolphins in 1980 make it all worthwhile though.  Feels like the team is on the verge of another burst of really good football.  Here's hoping so....

    I don’t care how early it is. I said it after week 5...I know Reed had longevity and an amazing career. I know Moulds was incredible. Diggs is going to be the best WR the Bills have ever had. I don’t care how ridiculous it sounds. He’s amazing.

    Reed had longevity and was fantastic in yards after the catch.  But what I think he was really special at was showing up in the big game - whether it was a playoff or key in season game.  Will be great if Diggs can have those same kinds of big game performances, year in and year out.  He can be a very special player for the Bills.

    As hot as Bass has been you didn't expect him to miss a chippy

    I'm not convinced that he actually missed it.  In looking at replays it sure looked like it was inside the goalpost, albeit, probably 30 feet above the end of the post.  I'm surprised in todays technology world the NFL hasn't come up with some sort of sensor that they can stick in the end of the goalpost, pointing up and also out (left or right depending on which post) that would "detect" whether a ball went over/through the sensor (and therefore, if so, its no good because it would have hit the post or been wide).

    It really struck me watching them play tonight:

     

     - Huge uncertainty at QB

     - Good defense & special teams, good RB

     - All-pro punter

     - Can't consistently score points

     - JAG WR corps

     - Occasional amazing game to give fans hope, but in general maintaining a near-.500 record 

     - Being just good enough to not make the playoffs & avoid the top 10 in the draft

     

    It's been weird reading their boards, too - the same playoff possibility conversations we used to have at this point:  if x team loses twice, and beats y team, but if y team beats z team, etc.  

     

    I must say - I'm liking the role reversal.

    We'll know in about sixteen hears, but betting not....

    Is this real or a metaphor? Who dreams about reading the paper about football... who reads a paper anymore?? Hope your okay though!

    Believe it or not, some of us older fans still read a paper.  I have no idea how old the OP is but, its still a thing....a dying, soon to be a relic, thing.....

  7. I always get a kick out of these "where were you in ....." questions.  I had just turned 33, had just started potty training our first kid and was still thrilled that the Bills were the Best of the AFC....it also represented the last year I saw the Bills play in person for nearly 20 years - we had our 2nd kid and the Mrs. kind of put the kibosh on driving to Buffalo for a long weekend every year once we had kids.  Then life happened and the Bills sucked so it wasn't really worth the drive.
