Buffalo Super Fan Posted March 7, 2023 Share Posted March 7, 2023 (edited) 3 hours ago, Buffalo03 said: It just annoys me that some people just don't realize how old Millennials are. The mid to late Gen x'ers aren't much older and didn't experience much more than the early to mid Millennials. The oldest Millennials were born in 1981 and are in their 40's now. The younger Gen X'ers are still in their early to mid 40's. It annoys me that they think they are that much different lol Yes but Generation X goes back to the 1960’s. I am Generation X born in 1967. So there is a huge difference time wise. I had no cable until 1980 because the cable systems weren’t all built out in the Buffalo suburbs yet. I grew up in the Buffalo suburb of Clarence which was a rural dairy farm town when I was real small going to the local dairy store for ice cream. Anyway in Clarence Buffalo International Cable stoped at Transit Road. My parents our color television was heavy wood furniture looking through a fish bowl 25 inches screen we got local Buffalo WGR TV2, WBEN TV4, WKBW TV7, WNED PBS TV17, WUTV TV29 then the Canadian Toronto channels CBC TV5, CTV TV9, Hamilton CHCH TV 11 that was about it along with CBC TV25 French language which carried Montreal Canadians games if you used aluminum foil on the antennas and pointed it towards the window so we could see the Buffalo Sabres Montreal Canadians game not picked up locally in Buffalo on television. I watched the 1980 Buffalo Sabres home games against the New York Islanders in playoffs on CBC French TV25 because we didn’t get cable until July or August of that summer and there was only local free television for all the away Buffalo Sabres playoff games except if it was a series decider than local Buffalo television would pick it up like 1979 Game 3 at home against the Pittsburgh Penguins George Ferguson overtime winner in the Buffalo Memorial Auditorium Saturday afternoon. Game 2 away was shown but Game 1 at home was radio only. I watched it a couple of years ago Game 1 off a Penguins game televised in Pittsburgh that a Penguins fan put on YouTube.  What? Exactly we have differences between the generations on many things the Buffalo we grew up in is very different which is fine but there are a lot of differences. I saw Buffalo before the decline Millennials didn’t so they don’t have that reference point to compare unfortunately because if they did maybe just maybe they wouldn’t be so happy with no dome on new Bills stadium and our Western New York and New York State elites selling Buffalo out which is very sad oh well what is done is done. But don’t say BSF didn’t try to point that out. I am proud my generation Generation X we along with the baby boomers were able to bring back Buffalo Bisons to Buffalo and bringing back UB Bulls as a major college football program again those are two of the things as a Buffalo sports fan I am most proud of. Regrets I have a few I wish we able to save Buffalo Memorial Auditorium like Seattle Kraken did with Settle Center instead of Buffalo Sabres Key Bank Center that is just not a good viewing facility for college basketball at all and it’s not a great anything viewing wise from the cheap seats. Again I blame my generation for that we own that Baby Boomers and Generation X. We don’t own the new Bills stadium we were wiser on that Millennials will get the blame for that 50 year generational mistake. Buffalo would be better doming the current Highmark stadium fixing the upper deck with a dome that would serve all fans needs better so yes we are making the Buffalo Memorial Auditorium mistake again but at least this time my generation is wise to it. I don’t think viewing will be better than Highmark it will be worse because Highmark Stadium was grandfathered for fire codes. News flash surprise the Bills new Bills stadium viewing experience won’t be as good as current Highmark Stadium. I take no blame on new Buffalo Bills stadium that is on the millennials and there expensive technology while we older Bills fans freeze in my opinion. Go Bills!

I don’t know. It’s  different now. In my 30+ years of fan hood of this team I’ve never had these “yeah, but” emotions with the team before. It’s different now for sure after last season.  I loved beating the Chiefs in the regular season these last two years but there is no way a win next season will have the same juice behind it.  Two straight years beating the Chiefs in the regular season and two straight years holding the one seed at Halloween only to end the season behind the Chiefs in the final regular season standings.  I still think the Bills are a great matchup against the Chiefs too. It’s why they have won 2 out of the last 3. But the Bills seem to screw it up in other areas over the 17 game season. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AJ Brown wanted out, traded. Wilson wanted out, traded. Adams wanted out, traded. Hopkins wanted out, traded. Watson wanted out, traded. Stafford wanted out, traded. Maybe you didn’t read the $37 mil. Dead cap hit.  Moving on.  Be practical brother.  They don’t care.  I can cite 10 other deals where the player had nothing to say about it.

The kerfuffle was over him unfollowing the Buffalo Bills on Instagram, removing his Bills pictures from there, and following the Dallas Cowboys. The article itself you linked does not say he still follows them on Insta.  That said - this is all much ado about nothing.

Stef Diggs hasn’t said anywhere he wants out of buffalo to Dallas or anywhere else for that matter.  can not understand how some of you just look for things to develop ulcers over.. I never said he wanted out or anything even remotely like it. The whole notion is preposterous with his cap hit and the fact that the Cowboys aren't in a better position to win. Take your own advice and read more carefully.

Good for him. But when it starts to make him a wonky teammate or cause a ruckus among the fans is where I have started drawing the line. You can't repeatedly undress your QB, HC, and/or OC on the sidelines. You can't bail on your team after a tough loss because you are such a "competitor", and you can't feed into the rumor mill about the security of the franchise that you play for. Part of my frustration and credence to some of the smoke is that these rumors aren't secret. A lot of people are talking about not just on Bills forums. Diggs has the opportunity to put all of this to bed and refuses. Wildly frustrating. Edited March 8, 2023 by Mango Word 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes it’s real sometimes it’s not. He gets off on being a troll on occasion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

C.Biscuit97 Posted March 8, 2023 Share Posted March 8, 2023 (edited) Weird that the guy who acted like a diva in Minnesota is doing the same thing here. I love Diggs and it’s stupid to overreact but let’s call it like it is, he’s annoying and kinda of a baby. He acts like he is the only one who cares about winning and just needs constant attention. I really want us to invest in the receiver position big time this off-season and move him next offseason.  I played receiver through college so I can said it. Wrs kinda suck. Edited March 8, 2023 by C.Biscuit97 7 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
