dollars 2 donuts Posted May 7, 2018 Share Posted May 7, 2018 (edited) Thank you, thank you...yes, I get it. You guys have a love affair with waxing poetic about the Saux, or the "U", and yes I know I am going back a few months with bringing this up, but this really was a thing. This really should be a 30 for 30, or something. What doesn't it have? The Drought. The unlikely heroes (Dalton, Boyd). The new coach and new regime. Would things be too late for the old veteran (Kyle)? The "touchdown". The once nationally mocked and reviled "Bills Mafia" shown to have tremendous heart. The foundations...what happened with Dalton and Boyd almost unheard of in pro sports as it relates specifically from one team's fans to another city (Houston, as nice as it was, doesn't count. That was a tragedy that had us all banding together)...show everyone the results of the donations. ...and The Reaction...all over WNY and Bills fandom everywhere. You mean to tell me you are going to have any problems interviewing Jeff Glor, Wolf Blitzer, Nick Bakay, Poncho Billa, Jim Kelly or anyone else about this? Be smart HBO and ESPN. You don't need to be a blood hound to smell this story and realize that many, even outside of Buffalo, would want to see this.

BillsFan17 Posted May 7, 2018 Share Posted May 7, 2018 If Buffalo wins a superbowl, sure, there is plenty of substance to make a feature out of. However, the things you are laying out, in the moment they absolutely meant a lot to Buffalo and the fans, but we havent actually won anything yet, so pump the breaks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hardly a superfan. That video was from us beating the Brissett-led Pats when Brady was suspended for cheating and destroying evidence. But I don't like Blitzer. I will admit his name is awesome though. To the original post: I would love to see a "30 for 30 or something" on this moment. I just don't see it happening. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ridgewaycynic2013 Posted May 7, 2018 Share Posted May 7, 2018 (edited) It would probably beat the hell out of that 'alternative history' that CBS(?) had, where the Bills did win the Super Bowl.

Making the playoffs once in 17 years has hardly put Buffalo back on the national roadmap of NFL relevance. This is especially the case because they made it with a guy in the NFL’s most important position that is hardly NFL relevant and is not even on the roster anymore. While we in Buffalo want to feel good about this whole story, now that the initial emotion has worn off the rest of the country will probably go .... meh. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the Cincy/Baltimore game had gone down exactly the same way, but in week 12 instead of 17, and all the Bills needed in week 17 was to "win and they're in," then this would be a non-story. All that matters is the overall W-L record, not the order in which the wins occurred. Focusing on the Bengals just perpetuates the idea that the Bills "backed into" the playoffs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drunken Pygmy Goat Posted May 7, 2018 Share Posted May 7, 2018 To be honest, I don't think it's worthy of an entire show. It would make for a good segment piece on Sunday morning pre game shows, but I don't think the magnitude of how it all went down is something the networks would dedicate a whole show to. Not trying to downplay what happened, I just don't think the networks see it the same way. It was a great story at the time, and shouldn't be forgotten. The "ripple effects" of the donations will probably last longer and have more of an impact than a tv show would. I expect that type of thing to happen much more often in sports moving forward (not the circumstances surrounding the Bills playoff birth, but the donations that resulted from it). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NewEra Posted May 7, 2018 Share Posted May 7, 2018 I agree with the OP. The nation really doesn’t understand how special that moment was. Would they want to watch it? Not sure, but if they did watch it, their take on what actually happened and how much it meant to a region would change. I talk to sports fans from all around the country daily at my job. Not one of them had any idea how truly incredible that moment was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
