DocLawless Posted November 4, 2018 Share Posted November 4, 2018 Might sound corny, but I am so proud to be a fan of this team! Such a great fanbase and camaraderie. My dad got me started 27 years ago and I could never repay him. Funny thing is most hate that they love the bills, and I understand lol 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ol Dirty B Posted November 4, 2018 Share Posted November 4, 2018 I'm actually pretty impressed with this response. I've been critical of fans too at times, but this is really great. I'll throw in a few bucks. Amazing response, and really a great idea. Whoever came up with it deserves a lot of respect. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think anyone at TBD participating in this is doing it for the right reasons, and not to get attention, at least I would hope. I said take a bow as part of the discussion on this thread in order to make a point that it’s something we as Bills fans can be proud of being a part of. Bit of bright news sandwiched between the dreary slog this season and much of the discussion around here has become of late. Sorry for any misunderstanding there klos63. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kwai San Posted November 4, 2018 Share Posted November 4, 2018 (edited) Wow - my faith in the #Billsmafia has been restored. I actually dropped the FB page from my lists due to the INSANE crazy talk from the members there. INSANE. CRAY. CRAY. TALK.

Ol Dirty B Posted November 4, 2018 Share Posted November 4, 2018 8 minutes ago, NoSaint said: About $3.50 Lol if that's it I got duped. I threw them 15.00, nothing great, and I didnt donate to dalton's charity but I'm big on these charities. I wasn't donating money to Daltons charity because he had a lucky play to break a playoff drought. I probably could give more, but I'm by no means loaded, yet. I already have a monthly donation to St. Judes. I do like the idea, and support the idea in this. When they try to make you look like savages and pretty much dirt bags, turn around and be better. Like I said I criticize this fanbase a lot, so I want to pitch in when they come up with something I like to encourage it. Again, i only threw in $15 so who knows how far that goes. It won't even come close to covering their payment processing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigduke6 Posted November 4, 2018 Share Posted November 4, 2018 its nice that some fans have donated to a charity its unfortunate that some fans have adopted a less than classy approach to supporting their team big thumbsdown to whoever came up with the "billsmafia" term to describe our fanbase, when has anything with the term "mafia" meant anything good. i was more embarrassed to be a bills fan on monday night due to the fans than the product on the field, and thats saying alot. keep it classy Bills fan, if thats even possible.

The Bills Mafia namesake was originated by a good guy named Del Reid who does a lot of really impressive charity work in the community. Only after the fact did it start to become associated with the table jumping and other stupid antics in the parking lot. Me personally I miss the old school 12th Man days but gotta change with the times I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoshBarnett Posted November 5, 2018 Share Posted November 5, 2018 Still going. Up to more than $8K. And pretty neat story of the name of the organization. It has nothing to do with the Chicago Bears. It was founded by a mother and her son 26 years ago when he was diagnosed with cancer at age 3. His name was Barrett but his nickname was Bear. He died shortly after his eighth birthday. His mother has kept his memory alive through the organization. They have raised 4 million for pediatric cancer research. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
