Stop Going To The Airport

Ok we've hit a point where the airport thing has lost its uniqness and specialness. Fans were at the gate Sunday after they beat Miami and I am here to say ya'll gotta stop.

 

When they broke the drought, when they clinched the division, heck when they truly clinched the playoffs against PIT in 2019 I get going those days. Those were big important days which celebrations are worth. I myself would've went in 2020 had they beat Houston as winning your first playoff game in 20+ years also is one of those big moments.

 

But were at the point people are just going for the sake of going. Beating a team to get to 1-1 ruins the coolness that had been established prior. Some of you may say I am no fun, but to me things like greeting the team at the airport should be received for occasions that grant it. Truth be told now that the team has made progress I'd rather see this held back to winning the AFC title, then just a regular season win that really isn't special at all.

Heck yeah man you TELL them!

Try-hard fans are here and aren’t going anywhere. Honestly i’d have a lot more respect for fans going to the airport after the team’s first win on week two if I didn’t see half of em holding their phones up recording themselves being there. All about clout and nothing else.

I didn’t read all 6 pages but I’m guessing the people who go to the airport after a win in week 2 aren’t on this site to read your plea. May I recommend an overly dramatic open letter on Facebook to hit your target audience? 

I was gonna make a tik tok video with Jackson Mahomes

OP, find something else to complain about.    To anybody who remembers even a small part of the zero-for-the-seventies, squishing the fish always is reason to celebrate.  Butt stomping them 35-0 in their own house ... worth a trip to the airport.  👍

I hope it becomes a new form of tailgate, for every away game...

I think a new tradition should be started. Greet visiting teams at the airport and heckle them. Do it again after the Bills beat them on their way home.

Add this to the tunes tailgate tradition, too.

Allow me to play Nancy Drew for a minute. What if that WASN’T a tattoo mistake?! What if “Hart” is a reference to Jim Hart, longtime Cardinals QB from 1966-1983? And what if “Vinny” is an homage to Vinny Testaverde, the first overall pick from the 1987 NFL draft who threw for over 46,000 career yards?? “Ivy” is a bit tricky, but perhaps that is a reference to Sid Luckman, a COLUMBIA grad and Hall of Famer who revolutionized pro football offenses as Chicago’s T-formation QB???

 

Maybe this boorish grandma-trampling fella who rushed to get Jim Kelly’s autograph isn’t named “Vinny,” after all. And maybe “Ivy” is not the love/lust of his early life. Perhaps he is just a random aficionado of good NFL QB play? If my hunch is correct, you may not want to restrict your searches to Bills Mafia gatherings around Josh Allen. “Vinny” could be found anywhere where a quality NFL QB roams.

 

Hope this helps, BringBackFergy! We can’t ever bring back Gram Gram (or Fergy), but wouldn’t it be lovely if you can bring back the battered corpse of Vinny (and those of the other two hooligans who were with him) so that we can drag their defiled carcasses alongside the February 2022 Bills Super Bowl parade into Niagara Square? I bet you that is what Gram Gram would have wanted.

 

R.I.P., dearest Gram Gram. You deserved a far better Cheektowaga airport experience than what life gave you.

 

EDIT: Yay! I did some more sleuthing. Hart finished #3 in career passing yards at the point of his retirement, Testaverde finished #6, Luckman finished #2, and Kelly finished #10. Hmmm…notice a pattern? I suspect that “Vinny” and his two autograph-seeking henchmen will turn up this season at a Bucs game (Brady), Steelers game (Big Ben), Packers game (Rodgers), Falcons game (Ryan), Rams game (Stafford), Seahawks game (Wilson), Chiefs game (Mahomes), and/or a Bills game (Allen). Go get ‘em, BringBackFergy!!! You find “Vinny” + crew and you finish the job.

Bobby "Hart" added to practice squad. Hmmmmm
