Not a single one of you predicted in September that for the final game of the season


Recommended Posts

Bills fans at the stadium would be cheering wildly at Jordan Mills and giving him a wave of ovation and thumbs up as he slow walked off the field and out the tunnel.

 

Seriously, I felt great for the guy.  There was little doubt that he was loving every minute of it too and fired up as he left.

 

I love this team.

One of the only times I was really dang proud/happy to have Mills on our team. We still need a better RT, but he deserved a standing ovation yesterday. 

 

 

Couldn't agree more.

 

Man...I'll never replace yesterday's game in my memory for all the obvious reasons...and thank you Kiko for getting yourself ejected, you moron, while also not hurting our QB...jerk.

 

The last remaining Buffalo Bill still on the team my father saw play in 2007 before he died in early 2008 was Kyle Williams.  I HAD to go to this game.  I'm glad I stuck around after the game to give the man a high five and say thank you.     

 

Insane, but this might be the most livable 6-10 season in franchise history.

For the "this isn't hockey" crowd:  the Bills finally showed you yesterday how to properly respond to a cheap shot aimed at one of your star players.  

 

It was nice to see and that is the stuff that brings a team together and makes them better than they were before.  So he got ejected...who cares?

Not fair---I would have said it had I known it was going to happen.

 

Agree with all else, and well worth the ejection.

McDermott doesn't want his team losing discipline, but you know he liked that moment, too.  

 

I'm sure Mills was as much a part of the post-game locker room celebration as any other Bill, maybe more so, and McDermott desperately wants that togetherness.  

 

It was a memorable game for many reasons, with a lot of important stuff happening even though the game was meaningless in the standings.

I thought if anyone was getting ejected it was going to be Boettger tbh.

 

 

I know, right.

 

you know what’s funny GB, if they took a moment and asked the Bills lineman “which of you is going to be ejected for trying to protect or stand up for our QB?”, to a man I believe it would have been like something out of Rudy, or maybe even Spartacus...each man being honored to be the one to fall on the sword for the cause...and for their friend and leader.

Yes and Mills was not the one who should have been penalized but he took the blame and then accepted the cheers.

 

I wonder if zebras at NFL central will see this and fine the one who was involved.

Limeaid, that is interesting about the fine.  I never thought of that.

 

btw, see my post up above on what I think the other Bills linemen would do if given the opportunity to be the one ejected.

 

i love this team.

The only thing missing from yesterday’s game was Carwell Gardner kicking Bryan Cox’s ass.

 

Did you miss it? PPV from the Big Tree parking lot! Awesome! 

 

 

Mills is getting credit, and maybe he deserves it. All I saw was him grabbing a guys fingers with his face mask. 

 

After all the praise for protecting Josh and being ejected, I hope he deserved it.

Great thread @dollars 2 donuts, highlighting how so many of our loose threads got pulled together yesterday, into a cohesive team win/solid effort including Mills. Can’t discount how much Kyle meant to even the younger guys on this team (someone else pointed out Zay’s running over to the ref after Kyle had tossed his catch ball so that he could retrieve it for a memento for Kyle) and how fired up they all were as a result. If ever there was a “meaningless” end of season game that actually meant more to every Bill playing than this one, I don’t know which. Glad you got to go and bring it full circle for the link with your dad.

Another great post, huddles!

 

My dad was 78.  Like a moron as a son you say things out of th blue and I told him after the giants game, “who knows, dad, this might be your last  Bills game.”  He said, “it might be.”

 

He was gone that February.  We disagreed on many things, but we always had football and I was always there for him at Bills games out of all his kids, especially since my mom had passed away 7 years earlier (coincidentally, today is the 17th anniversary of her passing).

 

five or six years ago I was going through my nightstand drawer and found the ticket stub from that last game...I’ll cherish it, always.

 

How I would love just one more game with my dad, preferably with the granddaughter he never got to meet, in between us.

 

Go Bills...Go dads.

You do not understand the skill it takes to stick your helmet in such that an opposing player fingers get stuck in your face mask.

I think they spend about an hour a day on the in Training Camp. It just shows he was paying attention! Kudos for that!

Yes they could do better at RT than Mills, but he was the second best lineman all year long.  They are far worse at LG, C, and RG than RT.  Long term, yes I want to upgrade over Mills but C and RG are a total disaster at this point.  If Teller is the worst player by the end of training camp 2019, then we will be fine going into next year.
