Some of us picked the right forum from the start.  Just saying....;)

Bills Fanatics?  XD

 

Weren't there some other spin off boards at one point? I seem to recall getting recruited for something call Bills Fanatics or the like. There was Anythingbut.org too, that was pretty cool.

While I never was a member there, I find it hard to believe that a team website that would want to control all its content actually housed a fan message board. I know it used to be somewhat common, but makes no sense. 

Well, that’s what made it so oppressive, as a fan, over there...

 

You couldn’t do or say anything without getting an infraction/suspension...It was miserable...the only content the mods would allow was positive praising of coaches and players...and they would literally tell you this...

 

BBMB shutting down was a blessing in disguise...👍

I'm grateful for this site as a whole. I originally started on ESPN team message board forums until that shutdown and went to BBMB. All I can say BBMB at the end was a disaster, anything posted negative regarding the current team affairs was getting you points or Bans by Mods. BBMB was a complete joke that last year and needed to be shutdown. 

 

Thank you @SDS and TBD for a great site. The Mods overall are knowledgeable and fair as well here.

Never posted on BBMB, but I do remember when a lot of you from there ended up over here. Many old-school TBD-er’s were pretty rude to you guys, but I thought this board got better with the influx of new blood. :thumbsup:

I spent many a liquified evening on the BBMB pouring out my soul during the decade of fail. I love the current regime and the fact that we're an elite team but I have to admit I was more emotionally invested when we were losing.

Weird huh? I'm more anxious being considered a favorite.

13 seconds is serious bidness. It ranks up there with wide right & homerun throwback. Huge Failures by the Bills.

 

I think it's worse than both of those failures.

Remember they didn't lose the game in 13 seconds,  other team tied the game on a long kick in 13 seconds.

 

You gotta be kidding.  13 seconds to kick off, other team has all 3 timeouts and all they need to do is tie game with long kick! 

 

Not as bad.

 

Losing the game on an OT coin toss because your Defense is already gassed from previous series.   YEAH,  THAT is worse.

Giving up that lead was VERY preventable.  More preventable than a fluke kick return; more preventable than a missed FG.  That's why I consider it worse.  I'm not asking you to agree with me.  I'm simply opining.

And yet.  That super duper prevent defense gets one millisecond faster to Mahomes or stuffs them 3 yards shorter, we're celebrating. 

 

McD played it like @Gugny plays his first word in Wordle. 😆  Sometimes you get totally boopkiss.  Not many, but sometimes...

so, we’re counting ifs now? Common man, it was a royal screwup. You know that and so does everyone else with half a 🧠.

It’s a worse collapse than either, but the stakes were not as high. You have to weight both of those factors. A missed 47 yard FG is not shocking, it happens all the time. But if it’s at the end of a Super Bowl, the anguish factor goes up substantially. 

 

Losing a game like that with 13 seconds left is MUCH harder to even imagine, but it wasn’t even the AFCCG (though it felt like it should have been).

Everything in the game is an if or a screwup. They hold them there, they look like geniuses.  They didn't, so they screwed up. 

 

 

 

 

 

Protecting the sidelines and giving one of the best QBs in the NFL with elite receiving options the entire middle of the field with plenty of time will never result in being called a genius ... nor will it result in a win.

I authored an "Ask Tom Donahoe" thread where I played the role of Tom Donahoe and posters would ask me questions. It gained some traction and the ire of our former GM from what wyo told me.

 

I enjoyed my time there. At the end it was pretty rough. This board is a lot better. Things happen for a reason.

Lol.  https://blogs.buffalobills.com/2017/03/02/for-fans-whove-used-the-bills-message-board/amp/
 

For those fans who have inquired about the fate of the Bills message board, which has long been an interactive area for lively conversation about the team, the organization thanks you for your contributions and support of the Buffalo Bills. 

That is a close of a reference that I can find.

Do any of the classic BBMB threads still survive via the internet archive wayback machine?  If so, please post a link to a good one!

As far as I know, no. Gregg flipped the switch and that was it... no warning at all.
