I watched Playoff Caliber: End of the Drought from my DVR again...and yes I cried


Recommended Posts

That was a terrific video to watch.  It's amazing how much emotion was tied into this.  I'm also a Pirates fan who endured more than 20 years of losing seasons so when they finally broke through in 2015 and made the playoffs as well was a similar emotion.  Can't wait for Sabres to do the same however unlikely it seems right now.

SCREW YOU GUYS, I'M GETTING FIRED UP FOR THE SEASON!!!!  You don't get to judge me!

 

 

...some of you can judge me...you know who you are.

 

And I didn't girly cry (not that there is anything wrong with that and I mean nothing against any gender here).  I super manly cried.  I was like Spartacus.  My tears were moving.  

 

I AM Spartacus...losers.

 

One month 'til kickoff.  Go Bills!


 

I get tears in my watching America’s Got Talent….I won’t judge you.

I had tears in my eyes - and a few rolled down my cheeks - when Andy Dalton finally put our drought to an end.  Not ashamed at all.

Ditto. Still do! Choked up watching this -for the hundredth time😲

I don't think I'll ever forget watching the end of the Bengals-Ravens game after they switched over from the Dolphins game.  I totally cried and it was arguably the greatest sports day of my life.  (The comeback was probably bigger in the grand scheme of things, but I didn't fully appreciate it at the time the same way I did with breaking the drought).

Fellow Pirates fan here—that drought was simply, epic. To root for the Bills and the Buccos at the same time during overlapping extreme droughts was an exercise in grim endurance!

The man who lost his wife with Kobe, and the little girl that sings opera.

 

Are you kidding me?!

 

You are officially a robot if you don't cry.  

 

You know, Royale, as a country and generally as a people and the way our society runs today, well we are just super hard on each other.

 

But glory be if I don't love those times when we cheer each other on.  It's infectious.  

 

Oh, and I am looking at you, too, American Ninja.  I just wish we could channel that to other aspects of our daily interactions.

 

Here's hoping, though.

I was at that game in Miami on New Year's Eve. I had the live stream of the Cin/Bal game on my phone as we exited the stadium. My stream must have been like 30 seconds ahead because I watched Dalton throw that TD and started running around the lot screaming how we made the playoffs like i just won the Powerball while other post game tailgating Bills fans were clueless. Once they saw the play,  they understood....... and also began to act the fool.

That guy was brave and it was a tear jerker.  I don’t think he makes it past the next round…his voice is good but not great.  So far the Korean Quartet have been the best singers.

Making the playoffs for the first time in nearly 2 decades was emotionally more impactful than getting to the AFC Championship last year to me. The way things unfolded were magical. The only thing that would obviously beat that moment is winning the Super Bowl.

It was New Years Eve. Went out to dinner with my wife after the game and can remember sitting there smiling from ear to ear the entire time. A HUGE weight lifted off the shoulders of every Bills fan. (I also remember not giving a rats rip what happened in the playoff game….I think I was still smiling.) 🙂

I watched here in SC with a buddy from the southern tier and his son who he inexplicable allowed to become a Bills fan after he was born two months after the BS in Tennessee. We used ti give the kid grief that the drought was on him: he used to use Billy Buffalo as an excuse, which I appreciated because Billy Buffalo became a thing at about 2000.

 

And then I watched as he went nuts (as we all were) when Boyd caught a d turned upfield between the safeties. The kid was another generation. 

 

This was also when Bills Mafia became a national influence beyond drunks jumping through tables, but of a responsible, caring community.

 

Go Bills! A few weeks away from actual news!

OP, you encapsulate everything that is good about Bills fans. Loyalty, camaraderie, sense of history/where we’ve come from, and unbridled optimism normally springing from no good faith basis!! But in this case, ever since JA burst on the scene, we can’t be optimistic enough! :thumbsup:

A sense of history and a sense of humor 👍all the best qualities for sure…
