Mark92 Posted January 3, 2023 Share Posted January 3, 2023 This season has been a gauntlet for the Bills. Now you add this to the equation. I am absolutely at peace with whatever happens with the Bills from here forward. They could literally come out and not except the playoff spot and I would be fine with it. Praying for DeMar man. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dablitzkrieg Posted January 3, 2023 Share Posted January 3, 2023 (edited) Well said. I just hope Damar 🙏🏼 is OK and fully recovers, that the players can find peace with the trauma they endured, as well as the fans. I hope you are all OK too. It can trigger a lot for some. People handle it differently. I have never been more proud of our fan base and also the Bengals. Class acts all around!

NewEra Posted January 3, 2023 Share Posted January 3, 2023 I’m pretty much is the same boat less than 24 hours after the unfortunate event. i would be ok if the bills threw in the towel this year and didn’t play another game while getting their mental state right dedicating their time and effort to Demars foundation and the community. This was always supposed to be the year of the Bills. It can still be the year of the Bills….. without a playoff win. My feelings will likely change if our fighter can overcome and power through, but as of now, he and his family take precedent. That’s what makes this franchise what it is. Once a Bill, always a Bill. 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly it felt that way even before Hamlin tragedy. Now I'm not sure how the team and the community recovers. Its cliché put sometimes adversity brings people even closer. Hope so. The problem is the SuperBowl window can slam shut pretty quickly. In a few years we might be looking back at a start of a run of a few Lombardis or we could be looking back at 13 seconds when it all unraveled and spiraled downward. Yup. I bet the Chargers thought they had time too in 2007 when they had Rivers, Tomlinson, Gates, Turner, Vincent Jackson, merriman, Phillips, Cromartie, Florence, castillo, etc. They lost in the AFC championship game and that was the last time they were a serious contender for anything. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heitz Posted January 3, 2023 Share Posted January 3, 2023 Well said eball - this one is really hard to process for me as a fan, I can't imagine what it's like as a player. Just, difficult. You hit the nail on the head with "I am proud of the team, the coaches, the fans, the community…proud to call myself a Buffalonian." Never more so! The strength everyone has shown over the past few years is unreal - we're all going to need a big hug after the season... I trust the team will do what's right for them moving forward, but no matter what, this will be an all-time Bills team, for me. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Hindsight Posted January 3, 2023 Share Posted January 3, 2023 Obviously I would love to continue the quest for a Super Bowl. I love football and I love the Bills, but most important to me is seeing Damar Hamlin recover. Anything else is a bonus as far as I’m concerned 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Royale with Cheese Posted January 4, 2023 Share Posted January 4, 2023 I hope we win it all and ESPN creates the greatest documentary of all time. Hamlin may never play again and I say get him a ring. 6 5 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why can’t we root for Damar’s health and improvement, while also going out and winning a Super Bowl for him? Why must it be either/or? 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Wiz Posted January 4, 2023 Share Posted January 4, 2023 I wouldn't care if they forfeited the rest of the season and post season. It's so much more than a game. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gonzo1105 Posted January 4, 2023 Share Posted January 4, 2023 This honestly strikes me as one of those NFL fantasy seasons. Patriots winning after 9/11. Saints winning after Katrina. Bills winning it after this. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its just pure gut but I’m feeling he pulls through. This tragic event I feel will bring the Bills closer and man, they’ll play their hearts out for Hamlin. 2 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Things just haven’t felt “right” to me ever since that happened. 3 minutes ago, The Wiz said: I wouldn't care if they forfeited the rest of the season and post season. It's so much more than a game. But why? What would that accomplish? Youre right that it’s more than a game but none of the players are doctors or nurses. Playing doesn’t take away care from Hamlin. It doesn’t even take away attention from him, as each game can be dedicated to him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not like a broken ankle or something like that. That would be my biggest worry about the players currently and not trying to force them out on the field when they probably going to be thinking about this for a long time regardless of their job/schedule. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do understand how you feel though. It feels as if the season is over. But I don’t think it has to be. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
