HardyBoy Posted July 19, 2021 Share Posted July 19, 2021 (edited) Guy wearing a Pats shirt walking in the grocery store, me coming out...dropped a perfectly timed Go Bills! He laughed, but he looked shook cause for the first time in a generation he had no comeback! Edit: love, love, love the stories of saying Go Bills! to fellow Bills fans. However, I'm especially interested in things where you basically lightly trolled someone, like how some dude was just waking in a parking lot with his Pats shirt having a perfectly bland day, and I just Go Bills'd him out of nowhere. Even though he smiled and laughed you could tell he was resigned to the overall McBeane experience and he knew the tables have turned with Josh Allen. Nobody get beat up or hurt though please.

billybrew1 Posted July 19, 2021 Share Posted July 19, 2021 In a disappointing story, I was telling my family that at least one person would give me either a, "Go Bills," or a "Josh Allen!" While wearing a Bills shirt all day hiking in Big Bear, CA......Alas.... No, not one.... On the plus side the reason I said that is because I usually get a couple replies here in Rancho Cucamonga when I wear it. I think the Bills and Josh Allen really are America's team. Everyone loves us as we are the perennial underdog and because Josh Allen is a good guy that is extremely fun to watch.

Royale with Cheese Posted July 19, 2021 Share Posted July 19, 2021 (edited) I was 12 years old and my first game at Rich Stadium. I walk into the bathroom and several guys are pissing in the sinks….facing me. I’m incredibly uncomfortable and they know. 5 guys with their package in their hand make eye contact with me and yell “Go Bills”.

Nelius Posted July 19, 2021 Share Posted July 19, 2021 Usually just throw them out in grocery stores and other common places if I see any gear. I typically get a slightly surprised huh followed by a smile and oh uh huh yeah, go Bills. I think I respond the exact same way. Had a weird one come my way years ago in Denver where I was walking to the neighborhood Bills bar. It was a September game so it was still about 95 degrees out with blazing hot Denver sun. I had a Kelly jersey draped over my shoulder because it was stupid hot and I think I was running late as usual (11am games suck). I crossed paths with 3 Bills bros walking the opposite direction who gave me the customary "Go Bills" but then got super weird about me not wearing the jersey. They kind of stopped and squared me up with repeated "put on the jersey, bro" etc. and I just sort of awkwardly walked around them. Joke was on them as they were clearly heading to the wrong bar, but thats probably my most odd example. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KOKBILLS Posted July 19, 2021 Share Posted July 19, 2021 Very recently had to take my elderly dog for an echocardiogram...No fun...Anyway...The tech comes out with my dog, young guy. Goes into painstaking detail about my dogs heart issues. He did a great job explaining everything. Asked if I had any questions. I said no, I got it. Then he says "Go Bills!" and offers me a fist bump (obviously I had a Bills hat on)...I felt better about everything instantly... 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ticketssince61 Posted July 19, 2021 Share Posted July 19, 2021 This past may, I went to Grand Teton National Park in Wyoming and was wearing a Bills' hat Over 2 1/2 days, I received 11 different "Bills" comments Most were "go Bills"; one or two "Josh Allen is great"; and one "This year we are going to win it all" People were from or went to school in Buffalo, Rochester, or Syracuse, and there were a few random Wyoming JA fans 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GETTOTHE50 Posted July 19, 2021 Share Posted July 19, 2021 I got several enthusiastic GO BILLS when I was wearing my light-up Bills Christmas sweater in Vegas this past May. Some of y’all introduced yourself and others started the HEY-EY-EY chant. It was awesome and made my best bud who happens to be a Bucs fan very jealous haha 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NI Bills Fan Posted July 19, 2021 Share Posted July 19, 2021 Living in Northern Ireland i never get to deliver, or receive a Go Bills. I do dream of such a day though! Strangely though, a couple of weeks ago I came out of a shop and got into my car and noticed a guy in a blue shirt with a 14 on it, he had a jacket on over it so it was hard to tell exactly, but I'm fairly certain it would have had a 'REICH' on the back. He probably wondered what the hell I was staring at from my car as he walked past. If I'd have left that shop a few seconds later I would have given him a Go Bills as a tester. Anyway ... Go Bills! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

muppy Posted July 19, 2021 Share Posted July 19, 2021 true story. I was at the local san diego ice arena with my daughter taking her for ice skating lessons. I see this guy behind the skate counter with a Bills hat. Of course Im going to converse the guy. I begin to talk when I realize Oh My Gosh I Know this guy! We went to high school together in batavia. What a random wonderful happenstance kind of meeting when all you wanted was to give the guy a "GO BILLS"... 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bray Wyatt Posted July 19, 2021 Share Posted July 19, 2021 The weekend before last, the wife and I took the two kiddos down to fifth and broadway here in Nashville for lunch and to walk around the city a bit. This guy and girl (I assumed they were boyfriend and girlfriend) walked out of one of the stores and were decked from head to toe in bills gear. I shouted GO BILLS! I think I caught them off guard as they looked startled at first but then they said it back. I didnt have my Bills hat on like I normally do so they may have thought I was weird lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhoTom Posted July 19, 2021 Share Posted July 19, 2021 I live in the Midwest, so it's unusual to see a Bills fan here. About fifteen years ago, I took an online class. In the initial "meet and greet" thread, the professor said she grew up in the Corning, NY area. Her dad and brothers were all Giants fans, but she adopted the Bills, so I gave her a "Go Bills!" About five years ago, I was marching in the local Labor Day parade and I saw a guy in the crowd wearing a Bills shirt. I yelled, "Go Bills!" and he gave me a thumbs up.

Pete Posted July 19, 2021 Share Posted July 19, 2021 (edited) I told this story in shout box earlier this month. I was at a 4th July parade, Bristol RI, which is pretty big time, and I had a Bills hat on. So the military processions were marching by group by group. Navy was walking by, marching in formation. Then one Navy man ran from formation straight to me, and said "Finally a Bills fan! So great to see!" "Let's go Buffalo! Bills Mafia" I yelled. He went to shake my hand, then instead gave me a big hug, and then ran back to get into formation lol. My girlfriend thought it was hysterical. She sees that no matter where I am- RI, Texas, NH, etc- if I see a Bills fan, or they see me- we always run up to one another all excited, like a dog running up excited to meet another dog. She thinks that great Edited July 19, 2021 by Pete 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Couple years back I was walking with a tour group through a small Farmers market near Porto in Portugal. Saw a chap in a Bills shirt walking the other way. I yelled "Go Bills!" He yelled "Go Bills!"

We both lived and worked on the other side of town back when we worked together. I get and give a lot of "GO BILLS!!!" here in Richmond so it's not too unusual. A few weeks ago, I was walking into Kroger again and a guy was coming out in Bills gear with his girl as I was entering the store (not wearing Bills gear) and I gave him a "GO BILLS!!!" in passing and he reciprocated as we both kept moving.
