jimmy10 Posted August 6, 2018 Share Posted August 6, 2018 (edited) Looks like the Red Rifle is making plans for his visit to Buffalo at the end of August. Good on ya, Andy. Also, the crowd is going to lose its mind when the Bengals take the field. I know it’s only preseason, but warmest reception ever for a visiting team?

OCinBuffalo Posted August 6, 2018 Share Posted August 6, 2018 Sweep the AFC North, thus giving us a leg up on conference record, which in turn gives us a leg up on the Wild Card, at least? Or, simply beat Baltimore twice? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CSBill Posted August 6, 2018 Share Posted August 6, 2018 It will be a class act by a class person, for a well-deserved recognition of the passionate, grateful, and generous fans of the Buffalo Bills. And both parties will show that gratitude when the Bengals visit in a few weeks. A win for both. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boyst Posted August 6, 2018 Share Posted August 6, 2018 My.memory serves me it was quite a bit more than just $400k. I figured I'd donate more for the anniversary of it, and maybe after he makes his appearance in buffalo, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob in STL Posted August 6, 2018 Share Posted August 6, 2018 Dalton is a class guy but one wonders about the importance of timing. Had the Bengals game been played on Saturday with the same result would the reaction be the same and as intense? Beating the Fish and then waiting and watching the conclusion on the Bengals game adds to the dramatic impact. I like that Dalton is awesome for sharing some of it with Buffalo and he will get red carpet treatment for sure. Bills fans are very generous and loyal and there are lots of local charities sponsored by Bills players. I’ve seen a lot of cities and Buffalo is a special place.

Homey D. Clown Posted August 6, 2018 Share Posted August 6, 2018 First class response from a guy who received a lot of love from us Bills fans. Opposing team or not, I'm a fan of his now simply because of how the sport of football is doing something great for those in need, and he has taken the time to pay it forward. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimmy10 Posted August 16, 2018 Author Share Posted August 16, 2018 Amazing. What a great story. A bunch of table-smashing dirtbags see a playoff drought end and immediately give almost half a mill to a charitable foundation hundreds of miles away, who then come back and pay it forward to a local cancer hospital. Just a nice story all around. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
