I wasn't crazy about being called a "Bills Mafia" member when it originally popped up. To anyone who witnessed the Super Bowl losses, early on Bills Mafia seemed to represent talking twitter heads rather than X and Os knowledgeable fans who new what a Super Bowl caliber team looked like (first hand).
Then, during the draught, Bills Mafia seemed to represent young kids who had never seen a winner, pushing the limits on tailgating with all the table breaking. Can't blame all those young kids for going ballistic on the tables, there wasn't good football to watch or a decent front office to believe in during the draught.
The McBeane arrival seemed to bring everything together. By putting a quality product on the field, all three of those pre existing worlds seemed to come together as the latest revelation of what Bills Mafia is. The generosity of the fans, the hunger for football knowledge, and willingness to persevere in any game day conditions has made the term Bills Mafia a proud badge to wear.
Thanks to all of you on here and everyone out there for making Bills Mafia the gold standard for NFL fandom.
