I prefer the route of "act like youve been there before" (also side note: I love John Browns lack of TD celebrations, like a pro)

 

But some of us have "been there before". As in, I was on the field the last time we tore them down in 1988, and I'll be down there again in a couple weeks! :thumbsup::devil:

Yea he is a good dancer no doubt. I have seen several occasions this year he just jogs off the field, maybe daps up Allen, but just acts like hes done it before...ya know, like a pro 

 

By "pro", you mean "professional entertainer" who plays a game for a living where fans like excitement and celebration?

 

Let the dudes dance. Not everything has to be so un-fun. It's just football. Enjoy it when you can.

Save it for after W17 when we defeat the Jets to win the AFC East at 13-3 and earn the #1 overall seed in the AFC.

That would be super ironic considering it was against the Jets the last time the goalposts were ripped down.....that was also my 1st Bills game!

 

Ok.....I am in.....yeah, count me in

Nah, I'd still be embarrassed in a good natured way. Making the playoffs shouldn't be a big deal.

 

While Im all for tearing down goalposts whenever possible, I agree it should be saved for taking the Division. We already shook the playoff monkey 2 years ago.

I lived through the glory years, and vividly remember the joy of watching the goal posts taken down in Rich Stadium.  Great moments. 
 

Some of you want more class, or are worried about it being an embarrassment... newsflash: our fans are taking flying leaps into tables, and as much as it is total stupidity, the world has come to appreciate all of it, even when laughing at it.  And although not all of us can (or want to) relate to Bills Mafia , pretty sure we’ve proven how much our football team means to us. 
 

I say do it.  Rip ‘em down if it means playoff berth. Make the headlines!  Be Bills fans. 
 

Most teams in the NFL would never dare to have this thought. That’s why I love being a fan of the Bills.  Have some fun, people!

How about you go first, and if Security doesn't beat the crap out of you and then arrests you, and instead escorts you right to the goal posts, I'll be right behind you.  ;)

 

your father should have told you.

 

we fight as a single impenetrable unit! that is the source of our strength. each drunk fan protects the mafia member to his left and right. a single weak spot, and the entire unit will be in jail.

 

if youd like to help, bring cold beer to the men before we leap the wall.

 

as for the ripping down the goalpost itself.......we cannot use you.

For values of "lack of TD celebrations" including a bound into the stands and a fancy handshake pantomime featuring smoking and drinking shots with Josh Allen.

 

Exactly. Act like you've steamed some lung darts and done shots with your QB before.

I dont mind the dancing, im not saying dont have fun at all (although as I am reading my own words it totally comes off like that). I love the fun celebrations as much as the next guy, but I REALLY like the juxtaposition these days of the guy just jogging off the field like "yea, thats what I SHOULD do". Business like.

what year are the Bills going to win in Baltimore?

 


Never. Per Bills Ravens agreement 1997 neither team is allowed to win in the oppositions city. Buffalo only was allowed to win in Baltimore in 99' as punishment for the Ravens moving from Cleveland.

It could only be more embarrassing if fans somehow got flaming tables involved.

Tearing down goal posts is so old school … we've moved on to tables.  The Bills should have about 100 ready to roll out to the logo.  Trust me, that would go viral.

I won't be there lol

 

We did it in the 80s lets have some fun and take home free goal post

I was at the Dolphins streak ending game in ‘80 as a kid and they took a piece of one upright passed it up and stuck it in Ralph's box, which was awesome. However part of another upright got to the visitor upper deck where I was sitting and there was almost an attempt to toss it over the stadium. That would have been a bad move!  Likely would have wiped out a few fans that day.

After beating the Ravens will be 10-3 and we need to tear down the goal posts. Consider this an early invite/ notification to take over the field

 

Update: We are no longer tearing down the goal posts thanks to our franchises moronic decision to wear red uniforms again

 

The brave souls who tore down the goal posts in the past were a bunch of clog-wearing, mullet-styling, boot-cut jeans-wearing, 4am Mighty Taco after Cassidys munchin soldiers who wanted nothing more than a decent job, a good woman and a spirited game of Pong against a buddy.*

 

today, the same experience can be had virtually, after the win folks just have to hook up the 4 pound binoculars on the Apple 11 with facial recognition technology and they can experience it all, uh, virtually.  Hell they can even toss the goal post over the stadium wall and crush a couple computer generated Tom Brady’s walking below  if they so desire. It’s good clean sterile fun. 

 

No need to get one’s hands dirty. 
 

*i probably messed up some of the timing here, I never had a mullet, wasn’t at the game and honestly can’t remember when Cassidys closed and/or burned down. Consider this my “We didn’t start the fire” anthem.

Been a tough last 39 years?

No, lot of other very proud moments the last 39 that don't relate to the Bills of course.  But as for the Bills to sit there and watch us finally squish the Fish after a decade of futility is one of the great memories.  Fueled by a bit of alcohol that day to be sure.

I never wore clogs or a mullet, Mighty Taco saved me more times than I can count after a long night of imbibing, I actually did the funnel one night at Cassidy's, and taring down the posts was a rite of passage!

Thanks for the reminder.

Your reply was damn funny. Thanks for that, and word to your mother.
