Popular Post DisplacedBillsFan Posted November 16, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted November 16, 2020 There’s been a movement on Reddit by some Cardinals fans to make donations to Oishei Children’s Hospital. Check out the original post, pasted below. Cards Fans - Please consider making a donation to the Oishei Children's Hospital of Buffalo (link in the post) in honor of Patricia Allen. I know we're in full blown meme-mode and all ecstatic with our last second win, but I'd like to take a moment to acknowledge the [Bills Mafia](https://www.reddit.com/r/buffalobills/). On our subreddit and on theirs, in the game thread and post-game thread, they've been a class act. Between that, how they've responded to Josh Allen losing his grandmother, and their donations to Andy Dalton's charity, I think we should recognize their fanbase and contribute to a great cause. If you can afford it in these tough times, please consider making a gift to the [John R. Oishei Children's Hospital](https://kaleidahealth.org/foundations/childrens/donate/). EDIT: For those who aren't aware of the context, Bills fans have already donated over $600k to the hospital for Allen's now-deceased grandmother, Patricia. Thank you to all Cardinals fans who have told me they've donated, publicly or privately. You're all amazing! 33 12 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

msw2112 Posted November 16, 2020 Share Posted November 16, 2020 They are friends from when Brown played in AZ. Prior to the game, Brown cited Fitz as a great mentor of his. And yes, Fitz is one of the all-time class acts in the NFL. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hebert19 Posted November 17, 2020 Share Posted November 17, 2020 The cards fans i know all think they stole one yesterday and are very complementary to the bills. That seems like a decent fan base. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First, I thought fans around the league once they heard what we have done for Patricia’s memory and for Dalton would contribute to a good cause. The nice thing is $17 is not to most people a big thing, and if someone is on tough times, no worries. As far Fitzy, he rented a house in my neighborhood for the Cards/Steelers SB here in Tampa. He was so classy and us dads tried to get our kids to leave him in peace that week. We asked him once if he wouldn’t mind not even autographs but maybe a pic or two for the kids that loved him. We promised no more than 3 minutes if his time. He was wonderful and we shooed our kids off as he spent $5k to be left in peace in a gated neighborhood where no one, but us knew as the family that rented their house out told us. I can’t remember meeting another football Star as classy as him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Victory Formation Posted November 17, 2020 Share Posted November 17, 2020 Wow... I have so much respect for that fan base now.. Good luck the rest of the way.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
machine gun kelly Posted November 17, 2020 Share Posted November 17, 2020 Victory. I feel the same. I think they can hand with Tampa or New Orleans for the big dance. It actually would make me happy if our three losses are to the two AFCC rivals last year, and the incoming SB contender. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

machine gun kelly Posted November 17, 2020 Share Posted November 17, 2020 To the OP, thank you for sharing these sentiments. I’m going to bring it up on NFLR radio as what classy fans are the Cards. If nothing else, it should bring some attention to this great cause and these great fans. If anyone has the total in the morning, throw it on here as I’ll check before I call and credit them as well. At least something nice one of us can do. Maybe other fans will follow suit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miyagi-Do Karate Posted November 17, 2020 Share Posted November 17, 2020 I have no ill will toward that fan base, or team. Seems like they have a group of classy guys, and guys like Murray and Hopkins are fun to watch. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jkx2 Posted November 17, 2020 Share Posted November 17, 2020 I went to a Bills Cardinals game in the desert and couldn't have been treated nicer. Their fans were friendly, talked nice about our team and showed 3 Buffaloinans a great weekend. No surprise and would love to go back. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Vader Posted November 17, 2020 Share Posted November 17, 2020 Just got back from Phoenix, and this is great to read. Our tailgate gathering was incredible. There were many Cardinals fans in attendance with us, and there was not one Cardinals fan that was gloating or being obnoxious about how the game ended. They were very classy the whole time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Comebackkid Posted November 17, 2020 Share Posted November 17, 2020 I didn't see this on reddit but I did read one after game post and not only were AZ fans cool but just about all fans from other teams were high on both teams and calling it a game of the year. One poster said he never wanted to hear Cole's name called ever again. Another said if it took a last second miracle pass to beat Buffalo they should be good with anyone.
