    What was their objective in removing the BBMB?

    Social media access to fans likely gives them the opportunity to purchase and pursue targeted marketing. They can buy the data (or parts of it) that social media collects about their fans, and use it to make money.

     

    Their message board didn't offer that kind of opportunity. It was an expense to maintain, and it was important to quantify the value it provided.

    McCoach took 7 franchise greats out to dinner this week

    Its about LEARNING the culture,as to better CHANGE the culture. Its also paying homage.And learning to RELATE to a storied(allbeit not ideal) history. Should we ignore the past,or understand it to improve it?

     

    I'm fine with him taking the guys out to dinner. It's nice, period, and great PR.

     

    But I think the coaches and players SHOULD ignore our past. I don't think the team "culture" now has much to do with these all time greats he took out to dinner, nor do I think there is much, if anything, to learn from their "culture". Don't forget your helmet?

     

    We're the 4 time superbowl losers to the fans so far as "culture" and always will be until we aren't....but the players who have been losing the last decade, or recently under Rex, were babies in 1993. They don't know that culture. To them we're just another average to bad team, like a lot of others in the NFL who didn't lose 4 superbowls in a row.

     

    So I say, yes, ignore it. Bury it. Burn it. They'd be better off. JMO.

    If your not from WNY how'd you start to root for the Bills?

    I am from Connecticut.

     

    I sat down on January 27th, 1991, to watch the Superbowl with my Dad. I was a 10 year old video game geek with no real sports interests, he was an adult computer geek with no real sports interests. But it was the Superbowl and I was really just becoming aware of this thing called sports. We had no loyalties to any team.

     

    He said "well I guess it's more fun when you have someone to root for, I'm going to root for the Giants".

     

    So I had a choice.

     

    Should I root WITH my dad, or AGAINST my dad. I decided rooting against each other made the game more interesting.

     

    The rest, as they say, is like the official Bills board. History. FML.

    You had me at "So, welcome everyone" and then:

     

    "5. Cater to adults over kids. No graphics in signatures and other busy layout schemes. In fact, the text based sigs may be going away to make the even design cleaner."

     

    ...I fell in love.

     

    I'll try to wipe my feet every time I come in, and put my dishes in the sink every time. Thanks for allowing us to share your home.

    Extremely disappointing. Say what you will about the place, but it was my Bills home. I came home to an eviction notice, and nobody even told me the rent was due.

     

    I apologize to the real GoldenWheels here for doing one of those lame one character off usernames. Old names die hard.

     

    Nuts to this.


    you know i wasn't a mod right? t and c along with standingbuffalo hated me. it got to the point where all of my posts were being deleted. i even abandoned the name teef and started to post under a new name. eventually even the name teef was perma banned.

     

    Nobody was a German soldier once WWII ended either. They were on the farm the whole time!

     

    Someday there will be a Nuremberg for you Teef.
