NeckMeat182 Posted September 2, 2018 Author Share Posted September 2, 2018 Think of it as a cautinary tale of loving the Bills too much. We all know how we treat people after a loss. Fascinating that sports fandom can have such sway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BADOLBILZ Posted September 2, 2018 Share Posted September 2, 2018 We definitely have a concerning group on this board that can't process criticism of the team and then wallow in despair when the team loses. That is a highly unhealthy combination. It's entertainment.........and a product where you aren't given free-market options.........not realizing this and your right to expect more and be critical of bad results is an invitation to mental illness. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Green Lightning Posted September 2, 2018 Share Posted September 2, 2018 What pushes some over the line to blind hatred of people is beyond me, but I got to believe Bills football isn't one of them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Freddie's Dead Posted September 2, 2018 Share Posted September 2, 2018 (edited) What unmitigated horse****. Blaming the Bills for Oklahoma City? !@#$ you Politico and Sam Anderson. Ridiculous angle. If the Bills caused OKC, where are all the other mass murderers from Buffalo in the same time frame? What? There are none? No ****, Sherlock.

Are you referring to the 1980 Fish game? If so, No, they did not throw them over the top of the stadium. They WANTED to & brought a goalpost up into the upper deck, but security kept them from tossing it over. A couple of other sections of goalpost did make it into the parking lot, but not after being tossed over the stadium. They would've killed someone filing out of the stadium if they had.

The Bills stormed through the playoffs, beating their archrivals—the decadent, tropical Miami Dolphins—after which the home fans rushed the field and tore down the goalposts. Then the Bills destroyed the L.A. Raiders 51–3 and entered the Super Bowl as heavy favorites. Their opponents were the New York Giants, media darlings of the megalopolis to the south, which meant that this was an opportunity to work out some major civic anxiety in front of the whole world.

Heck , even for the killer. He must have been mentally ill and somebody (else) should have noticed and did something about it. How could he have been allowed to rent that truck and buy fertilizer? How , how, how ....You must be a horrible person and should be publicly shamed! 25 minutes ago, Freddie's Dead said: What unmitigated horse****.
