    The fact that we keep guys like Damar Hamlin around cuz he's a "nice story", pay jerkoffs like Dawson Knox tons and to go into a critical seasonsith Gabe Davis as our number two receiver despite ample proof that he ain't that guy shows that a lot of this team is governed by keep "good feelings" and that they don't wanna mess with a guy with a "nice story." Tre's been such a wonderful guy and a great teammate that he needs to be kept around despite showing for two and a half years that he won't be a difference maker when it's crunch time. Either due to literally being unavailable due to injury or just straight up getting smoked by Cincinnati's receivers.

    The Bills renegotiate with and release players every year. It's not a problem.

    WHAT? Are we changing things again? Who added unique? Unique is, well……..unique. It is not the same thing as special, as used in the title.

     

    Every fanbase is unique, if you think about it. 

     

     May I ask which town you are in? Or how many road games you’ve attended in the last decade or so? It could be ALL of them, for all I know. I’m just trying to understand. We are much better represented on the road than opposing teams are in OP, from my experience. 

    I didn't change anything. I guess your definition of special is pretty watered down.

    Let’s not change sports to try to make your point. How many Bills’ road games have you been to in the last decade or so? When the visiting team takes over a stadium on the road, that is pretty special.  And that’s not just one wild and crazy guy. 

    I didn't need to, but it is relevant to the concept of "special". There's a whole world of fans out there that detracts from the "specialness" we like to apply to ourselves.

     

    Seemingly every Cardinals is dominated by the  opposing team's fans. Just the way it is in this town and I don't see it as special. Bills fans travel well and are one of the better fan groups, but that is not a unique thing.

    We beat the winner in their house. Cmon now. 

    We're certainly not "miles away" like the other poster said, but beating them in the regular season means nothing. 

     

    The Bills, as a whole, haven't hit that extra gear in the playoffs.

    Maybe “just” needs defining, I don’t claim to be the best. I am sure we are among the best, and in some ways different. Like the Bills team, our fans are top tier. 

     

    The thing that sets us apart in some ways is that we were there thru the Dark Ages. Steelers fans are loyal, but they never had extended stench like we endured.  JMO

    Detroit fans this year were claiming they're the best for sticking it out through their drought.

     

    This type of stuff isn't special. 

     

    Now extend this concept to all fan groups in all sports around the world. Some soccer teams have crazier fan followings than the Bills.

     

    The special aspect of fandom, if there is one, belongs to individuals out there who stand out above the rest. Like, I'm sure there's some fan out there who has the record for attending every game in person. That's where special comes into the conversation.

    When I attend Bills games on the road, it’s clear that it’s more than that. We can take over another team’s stadium. Don’t compare Bills fans with either of the Falcons fans. I live in Atlanta, and the Falcons are merely an afterthought here. Football fans in the south are 99% interested in COLLEGE football. 

     

    Every market, and every fanbase has its own flavor. 

    I live in Phoenix and the fans here suck too, but on the flip side there are also Pittsburgh fans.... Green Bay fans....etc. Bills fans are just another group of good fans.

    According to those stats, so is Allen.  But the BILLS haven't been as good as the Pats or Chiefs.

    Well, obviously wins and Super Bowls aren't just a QB stat...

    Don’t you think that’s a BIG difference regardless of similarity in regular season stats? Playoffs is where it’s at and Mahomes separates himself from everyone else including Allen. Great players rises in the biggest moments. This is something Allen needs to work on imo. 

    Allen has risen to the moment just fine. He has amazing playoff performances, including the losses. 

     

    It's a team sport.

    You say that now…..and it will end up being like the Sabres slug. 
     

    I love the Bills logos. Current and throwback. I hope they stay the same.

    My vision is a red bison on white helmet, but it's charging instead of standing. Just a simple red silhouette that isn't cartoonish, but still more aggressive. In my mind it's super classy.

    Somewhat unrelated and not a dome rant... really!

     

    The stadium they are planning to build in Las Vegas for the Oakland A's (which apparently is hitting obstacles thanks to their a--hole owner) was a dome in the heart of the Las Vegas Strip. Estimated cost? $1.5B!!!

     

    How does an open air stadium in Orchard Park cost $1.8B and climbing? I mean, c'mon. What level of graft are we taking about?

    Yeah, not saying it's a non-issue, but 1. baseball stadiums are considerably smaller and 2. Stuff is generally cheaper out west

    Smith County records list Mahomes Sr. as being arrested on DWI charges multiple times in the last 12 years, including twice in 2012, twice in 2018, once in 2019 and this weekend’s arrest.

    Can someone post a transcript or alternative video source? I am no longer on Facebook. Please help a bills brother out

    Josh Allen and the douche Tom Brady are face to face beside a golf green. 

     

    "Nine?! NINE?!" Exclaims a pompous Tom. "You're 27 years old." He is seemingly making fun of Josh's golf handicap.

     

    "I know. I know." Josh Allen replies with a chuckle and an air of confidence, impenetrable to Tom's jabs.

     

    "I'm 47" brags the arrogant Tom.

     

    "You're retired" Josh points out.

     

    Game. Set. Match.

     

    Josh turns slightly to reveal his caddy beside him. An older gentleman wearing a vest and carrying a flag. Not obese or fat, but carrying the extra weight of a father who's lived a full life.

     

    "This is my dad" says Josh as he introduces the older gentleman to an aging Tom.

     

    A quick expression flashes across Tom's face, likely unnoticeable to the inexperienced eye, as he undoubtedly recognizes he's joined the old ranks. In fact, within this seemingly normal encounter, Josh has essentially guided Tom into his place on the line. Another statue in a group who's lofty dreams have turned to memories and who are relegated to the sidelines as they gaze upon the younger generation who have supplanted them.

     

    The two veterans of life exchange greetings and pleasantries.

     

    "You're son is a great kid."
