H2o Posted May 24, 2018 Share Posted May 24, 2018 (edited) Seeing Kyle in the locker room with his boys when Dalton came through with that TD pass against the Ravens. Just that whole scene of jubilation from the players, coaches, the Pegs, and everyone else. I have to admit, that got me a little.

Bad Things Posted May 24, 2018 Share Posted May 24, 2018 Last year, when we made the playoff was the first time I've gotten emotional for a game. The other time was during Jim Kelly's HOF speech. Let's go Buffalo! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buftex Posted May 24, 2018 Share Posted May 24, 2018 (edited) The only time I actually, titty-baby cried over sports (where I wasn't playing in a game) was the day it was official that the the Braves were leaving Buffalo. I was really devastated. As the Bills were destroying the Raiders in the 1990 AFC Championship, it finally sunk in to me that we were about to "win" our first Super Bowl. There was a shot on tv of Jim Kelly throwing footballs into the stands of Rich Stadium...I got pretty choked up.

But Paul Snyder was just as guilty and made big bucks from the entire fiasco. That team could have been dominant if it hadn't been for ownership greed.

The Real Buffalo Joe Posted May 24, 2018 Share Posted May 24, 2018 Not necessarily Bills. But as dumb as it sounds, I grew up a die hard Indians fan because the Bisons were their farm club from when I was 5 till I was 19. When it was announced that the Indians were dropping us, I don't think I cried, but I was quite upset. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thebandit27 Posted May 24, 2018 Share Posted May 24, 2018 Believe it or not, the 2013 game where EJ lead the GW drive against Carolina at home. It shouldn't have been anything more than a cool moment, but, well... My mother had died that summer, and she was a big Bills fan. She told me that she really liked EJ, that he was a great kid, and that she really wanted him to do well. He threw that pass to Stevie and I just lost it. Yep, a 32 year old man subjugated in heaving sobs. The same thing happened when Andy Dalton threw that TD pass to Tyler Boyd. Same reason: my 96-year old grandfather was on his death bed. He lived just long enough to see them make the playoffs one last time. He went to bed that night and never woke up; passing on a few days later. Did I cry over the Bills, or did I cry over my loss of people I loved? Both I think. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phypon Posted May 24, 2018 Share Posted May 24, 2018 I didn't read all of the pages of the thread so not sure if it's been posted. The "comeback" always wells me up. It is the epitome of what it means to be a Bills fan. To never give up, to always keep trying, to be an underdog, to have your back against the wall and prevail. To me, that game sums up a personal philosophy of overcoming adversity and I also think that most Bills fans appreciate that old school, blue color philosophy.

vorpma Posted May 24, 2018 Share Posted May 24, 2018 January 1, 1967, the Chiefs v the Bills at the Rock Pile and killed Buffalo 31 - 7 advancing to the first Football World Championship now know as the Super Bowl. I was in the 5th grade, the Bills always won and my father took me to the game. Despite coming from an avid AFL family and neighborhood I wanted the Packers to kill the Chiefs just for revenge!

Not so much for the Bills winning it, which I know I'll be ecstatic for. But all my grandparents, my uncle, and my cousin who have all passed on were die hards. So it'll be bittersweet celebrating something they never got to experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still watch it once a year before the season starts to get fired up and shed a tear for him. That's a very cool one. I remember I used to watch that video a lot every offseason as well when I was a little bit younger and it always brought back such amazing feelings of nostalgia..not just for the football games but for that era in general. I was privileged enough to have an amazing childhood and that whole era always gets me choked up a bit. As for recent times I gotta agree with the day It was announced the Pegula's had officially bought the Bills and there was finally a sigh of relief that they would be staying in Buffalo...all of the phone calls into WGR that afternoon really got me emotional. A distant 2nd to that memory was being in the stands when we finally beat the Patriots in 2011....by the 4th quarter the atmosphere was completely euphoric and I thought to myself so this was what it was like for my Dad and Uncles when they used to go to games back in the 90s 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GETTOTHE50 Posted May 24, 2018 Share Posted May 24, 2018 I normally get angry after a bills loss, no matter the kind. But the one time I was sad was when that 49er hit Shady in the back two years ago. I thought Shady was going to be done for the year with an Achilles tear. My heart sunk. I did not cry even though I wanted to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GunnerBill Posted May 24, 2018 Share Posted May 24, 2018 I cried in the early hours of new years day. When the Benglas stopped the Ravens on 4th down to finally end it I sunk to my knees and cried for a few seconds. It was relief and release. I welled up again a day later watching the clips of the fans at the airport. When it comes to sport I only cry at the good stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never actually expected that it would make me respond quite the way that it did. Having feelings of mourning a perfect stranger is a very surreal experience. Perhaps it wasn't so much his death but the uncertainty that may have followed. I would echo that. It was a similar unexpected feeling with Kent Hull and Rick Martin. I had tears in my eyes with the announcement that 2/3 of the money from the sale of the Bills was going to philanthropy to benefit Buffalo and Detroit, as well. Regardless of the tax implications, that was an amazingly generous posthumous gift from a man who could be maligned by a portion of the fan base for being cheap.

holla83 Posted May 25, 2018 Share Posted May 25, 2018 (edited) I wouldn't say I've I cried but I've definitely teared up. 2011- 21 point comeback against the Patriots. Connor Gorman's Buffalo Bills "Rise and Fight Again" video on YouTube. Especially the end where it says "Thank you Ralph". Seeing Kyle Williams celebrate with his kids in the locker room when the Bengals scored. My sister cried towards the end of Super Bowl 27 because she was dreading going to school the next day. I broke my vacuum cleaner when Stevie Johnson and Scott Chandler fumbled the game away against Atlanta in 2013.

Came here to post the one in bold. Me too. I was 11. Fergy limping off the field in a valiant but failed effort to rally the team late. I couldn't handle it at that tender age.

Pegula bought the team...the relief and joy i felt absolutely brought me to tears. watching Kyle Williams with his boys in the locker room when the Bills got into the playoffs with that Cincinnati throw and catch...well, show me a man that didn't shed a tear at that moment and i will show you a cold hearted SOB! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's mainly anger with the teams that I support The same thing happened to me when Ralph died. Didn't like him for a lot of his decisions but I was so glad he kept the team in Buffalo. I never cried for a win or a loss, but I have for a lot of the off field moments that people have described above. Memories of my old man taking me to games in the rockpile and Rich stadium.
