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...

However, hear me when I say that not ever great story in the world ends with a ring at the end. Rocky...didn't win the title in the first movie.

Heavy Kevi Posted May 7, 2018 Share Posted May 7, 2018 What does Wolf Blitzer have to do with the story? Also, it is a great story, but this is Buffalo. As Billsfan17 alluded to we haven't won anything yet. 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. Edited May 7, 2018 by Ridgewaycynic2013 Added punctuation. Punctuation saves lives. "Let's eat Grandma!" vs. "Let's eat, Grandma!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, hear me when I say that not ever great story in the world ends with a ring at the end. Rocky...didn't win the title in the first movie. This is very true. Not every 30 for 30 documentary has a happy ending. "The Legend of Jimmy the Greek" "Small Potatoes: Who Killed the USFL".....Granted, the USFL did win $3.00.

However, hear me when I say that not ever great story in the world ends with a ring at the end. Rocky...didn't win the title in the first movie. 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...

I love the blase attitude from guys who have combined for more than 66,000 posts on a Bills message board, and who in the unlikely event that a documentary was made would probably tattoo the date it airs on your d***s...or maybe you'd do it just because your like tattoos.
