Chandler#81 Posted August 25, 2018 Share Posted August 25, 2018 It’s a wonderful & noble gesture that he & Mrs. P are doing, returning the ‘pay it forward’ offering from Bills fans. I expect him to be greeted by a crowd containing many #14 Bills jerseys with his name plate. (Granted, they were once Watkins & Fitz jerseys now covered with tape.) It’s a rare opportunity to wear that expensive purchase in public w/o being chastised publicly. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SlimShady'sSpaceForce Posted August 25, 2018 Author Share Posted August 25, 2018 To add to this another story by Rodak How an Andy Dalton TD pass became $450K to help sick children Andy Dalton's TD pass beat the Ravens and put the Bills in the playoffs, but it has meant so much more for many people in Buffalo.

Steptide Posted August 25, 2018 Share Posted August 25, 2018 Buffalo could win the superbowl this year, but that play by Dalton, the 100s of videos of bills fans and the bills players in the locker room going nuts, the 400 thousand dollar donations, will be talked about for the next 20 years. It's once in a lifetime 4 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mickey Posted August 25, 2018 Share Posted August 25, 2018 (edited) Don't get me wrong, winning super bowls and all would rock my world but in a way, I think the Buffalo fanbase has more to be proud of last year than any fans in the league. Somehow, in these divided times, our neighbors have become our enemies. In a time where everyone is accusing everyone of everything, Bills fans showed that people can be friends and rivals at the same time and that we can care about people outside of our own tribe. And yes, its great when a rugged individual can achieve something all on his own but it can also be pretty great when people achieve something with a lot of help from other people. I hate it when my dog sees me crying in my crunch-berries. Gotta stop reading this stuff during breakfast.

SouthNYfan Posted August 25, 2018 Share Posted August 25, 2018 I'm pretty sure I'd be more excited if we win the Superbowl than I was last year. Actually I'm positive I would. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beast Posted August 25, 2018 Share Posted August 25, 2018 (edited) He should be given a standing ovation. After tomorrow we wish him well but back to normal business, though he will always have a soft spot in our heart.

Bobby Hooks Posted August 25, 2018 Share Posted August 25, 2018 (edited) Omg... I’m so over this Andy Dalton stuff. There was a reciever too, an oline, and a defense that messed up on the play. Thats football. Bills put themselves in a position to get there if the Ravens lost. Well, Ravens lost. That’s football. If Dalton was so great his team would have been in the playoffs. Not the Bills. Move on. Edited August 25, 2018 by Bobby Hooks 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why is everyone ignoring Tyler Boyd? He's the one who caught the pass and ran it in for the touchdown. Hope he gets the same amount of appreciation on Sunday. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VaMilBill Posted August 25, 2018 Share Posted August 25, 2018 I hope someone films Andy coming out of the tunnel tomorrow and posting it here. Would be curious to see the greeting bills fans give him as well as Andy’s response. Bills fans are amazing and I’m proud to be one 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobby Hooks Posted August 25, 2018 Share Posted August 25, 2018 (edited) Yeah, that’s what we should be concerned with. The qb on the team we’re going against. Not that the hopeful franchise qb of OUR future is starting his first game. Some of our fanbase is acting like a bunch of n00bs imo. Act like you’ve been there before.

Football and the play are just a setup on whay a little humanity in people can accomplish.

Alot of fans havent been there before. But jesus it will be a brief moment in time of fans saying thank you for helping break the drought.

It had its time and now it has passed. If I’m being honest it makes us look a little odd in that Boyd did most of the work and no one makes any mention of him.

BurpleBull Posted August 25, 2018 Share Posted August 25, 2018 I've never agreed with Dalton or the Bengals receiving this level of credit. They helped obviously, but it was the Bills' time. I really don't think it shows well for the Bills' fanbase to continue on into a new season trying to show an active player on another team its appreciation for inadvertently assisting the Bills' in a last second slide into the playoffs. Better hope the football gods haven't picked up on all the misplaced praise and adoration. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dalton thing had its time and it should be over. Time to focus on OUR qb. If thats being negative I question how you view fandom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boyd didn't have a foundation set up. When he eventually did, Bills fans threw a pretty big gob of cash his way. Seventeen years. Heaven forbid people take a little extra time to enjoy finally becoming relevant again after an entire generation worth of disappointment. Why are you so critical of how others consume this entertainment product? Lighten up, you're taking a game way too seriously. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
