Another Fan

There might be some big Bills fans out there due to their family dynamics are in households where they can’t watch todays game and missed the Cowboy one a few years ago They might have a word with you 😂😆

Browns vs Bills in 2009. Roscoe Parish fumbles the punt with I want to say less than a minute left. Which sets the Browns up to kick the winning field goal. Browns win 6-3 where Derek Anderson goes 2 for 17 passing for 23 yards

I have a memory of a fan putting a taser light on Carpenter during the game. Is an underrated Bills classic game imo

You pretty much said it all. Only thing I would stress is if they go after high priced free agents make sure they can handle the playoffs. I mean to me Scherzer was an epic fail and that’s inexcusable when you pay someone over 40 million a year. More of high priced flops like that the Mets will really be the joke of the league. I mean just throwing it out there

I still think he looks safe

Yeah man. The main Bills page comes across more cultish than anything more often than not

I recall the Bills were a few points favored in the game and until that miraculous last drive it looked like it was gonna be a disappointing loss. That last drive WAS exciting though Yeah and I still recall that infamous poster who claimed to lose 5k betting against the Bills that day

Yeah I get that. One of the few celeb deaths that got to me was Sage Stallone now 10 years ago. I was probably the only person in the world to like Rocky 5 enough to watch it multiple times as a kid. Sage did very well in the movie as Rocky's son (he's Slyvester's irl) and that was always the image I had of him for years. What little I heard of him over the years was irl he really wasn't that close with his dad. But yeah when he died it was a real sad reminder to me of why things just can't be what they were.

some names here kinda look familiar https://www.billsfans.com/forums/forum/8-buffalo-bills-community-forum/

The defense gave a Herculean effort that day. I think that's part of why they lost the next week in Oakland. Flying across the country and being gassed. Interesting though under the new playoff format Buffalo would have made it in 2014. They were the # 7 seed.

When MTV still played music videos, Michael Jackson's Thriller video was a staple for me every year The Chucky movies I might watch within the next few weeks As I get older and grumpier Halloween is easily my favorite holiday though

Maybe slightly odd but I never disliked the Phillies growing up even as a Mets fan. Growing up and even now it’s a more convenient trip if I wanna see the Mets. So I’m pulling for them too. But I think it’s gonna be Houston in 6

Where I work there’s only a few sport fans. There’s one guy that’s a Patriot fan but I’ll just get annoyed if I talk football with him, so I don’t even go there with him One guy likes the Yankees here. They’re not my team but since I like him sometimes I’d ask about Judge. Ditto for a co worker here about the Eagles. Sometimes I’ll just ask how they did on Sunday. A team I’m pretty neutral about. So yeah sports talk comes up occasionally with me but it’s not common.

Kind of a generic answer but imo you can't go wrong with Wegmans. The last Bills game my dad and I went to years ago we split a 14 inch sub in the parking lots. I only say that as depending where you live now there might not be one near you. DiBella's is pretty good as well. I think they are in the Buffalo area.

I'm not sure if this relates to what the OP was talking about but I recall a punt, pass, and kick contest sponsored regularly by the NFL. I'm going to say it was during the 90's? Or at least the height of its exposure. Seemed pretty cool then to be able to participate in it.

Good win. DeGrom wasn't perfect but did what he had too. Buck has been great but some of his logic last night made me shake my head: Why is Canha bating ahead of McNeil? I know they got bailed out but it seemed he wanted Diaz to do a 3 inning save?

I'm not one for booing athletes but if I was at the game Mad Max would of heard some from me. For $43 million a year that was pathetic. If he actually was pitching hurt shame on him for still going out there and not thinking of the team first. While yeah Max frustrated me, Escobar has been the only offense. Lindor is another player whose not looking too good now

I just saw this morning he died from prostate cancer at 64😢 https://nypost.com/2022/10/06/wabc-radio-host-bernard-mcguirk-dies-at-64/amp/ I do recall listening to him a fair amount growing up…. enough I would start a thread on him. Was on the Imus show. Did some funny impersonations. I just recall him and Sid Rosenberg always talking trash to each other. Enough so they had an actual boxing match. Had no idea they both had their own talk show on am. I lost track of him over time. But yeah my dad recently got diagnosed with prostate cancer but thankfully early enough to treat. It’s important to get checked

Older I get I take more of a what's done is done approach to life. But damn couldn't just get 1 W this weekend! Ah well, moving on the Phillies woulda been the better match up imo than SD but team should be ready for the weekend at least.

It shows you how much I’ve paid attention to the playoffs in baseball the last few years. Is this new three wild card teams? I just thought it was Mets vs padres and whoever wins moves on

All I wanted was 1 win in Atlanta. Uggh that series brought back flashbacks of 2001 with Brian Jordan hitting 9th inning HRs. Pitching wasn't that good but neither was the offense. I like Canha but he's had a rough couple weeks. Personally I think Cohen should reimburse the Mets fans that made the trip down. I was watching that chop when Bassitt got pulled with the lights off even at home and was disgusted. Sitting in that stadium would have been worse than going to a Patriots bar in Brady/Belichick's heyday

I think most missed the OP's point in this thread. It's like when Andre Reed made the hall of fame back in 2013/2014 ish that I think that recharged the fanbase to a certain degree for a while seeing him being honored like that. Versus today say Steve Tasker finally gets let in the Hall of Fame, it'd be like all right cool but it's not something the fanbase would dwell on

For me between 2000-2015 is when I was really nostalgic on those 90s teams. 2000 was a couple years removed from the Super bowl years and then by 2015 it felt kinda tired at that point still reliving things from over 20 years ago. I'd add it was during the drought so them years it felt nice remembering the team was solid at one point. I will say though the team imo would really be under a tremendous amount of pressure if it makes back to the Super Bowl. Through no fault of their own. The 90s Super Bowl years I think will resurface but not in a nostalgic way to Bills fans with how I think the media will run with it. More like the teams history is it never gets it done when it makes it this far, it's up to this group to re-write history. So I would say until the team wins the Super Bowl I still see the 90's teams as the guerrilla in the room. That's not to diminish the 90s teams, I'm just sayin'

My 1st job I had when I finished college in my early 20s was as an office manager for an HVAC company. It started out full-time in an office but it shifted to part-time at the owners home... which was part of an animal farm. This was around 2008ish when Wall Street collapsed and it effected the business and my boss could no longer afford the mortgage on the farm so he moved all the offices there. In the meantime my boss just got married so he lived with his new wife at her place. He rented out his house to his cousin and her son. Her son was a juvenile delinquent. So yeah in the meantime, I had these new tasks assigned to me: Take care of and feed his dog Feed the cat... who one day just disappeared Feed his fish Take care of his sheep if need be. Which leads to a story of chasing after a few of the them one day when his fence broke and some were threatening to escape All the while sharing the "office/house" with a juvenile delinquent. The first time we got introduced he showed me a warrant for his arrest. Lots of his colorful friends came through 'the office". As did some interesting chicks he chased to say the least. But we got along. We even shot games of pool in my lunch hour and when the owner wasn't looking lol. Sometimes for money. I'd add his "office/home" didn't have heat in the winter. It was on a hill too and more than once I fell walking to the mailbox. I got stuck driving my car on his driveway more than once as it was a sheet of ice. All in all it was actually a fun job though. But it became a part time so I couldn't sustain myself on it
