C.Biscuit97 Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 First Bills game in person was the AFC championship against Joe Montana and the Chiefs. Took a Metro with my mom & my brother from North Buffalo to OP and it was awful. Sat in the last row of the stadium and it was freezing. Bruce knocked him out and the Bills went to the SB. It’s time again. LFG!!! I think as I’ve become older, I put up little walls to prevent the hurt. This run has been nothing short of amazing. We can nit pick a SB contender. This is truly special to do this as an adult. I am so proud of this team and am just going to enjoy this ride. Feed the Pit!!!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muppy Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 in answer to the OP my first thought to "Enjoy this Moment" was don't tell me what to do LOL This thread topic is great because I totally concur that we all need to be grateful to be alive to see the Josh Allen era. I'm pinching myself. I Get It. my bills buddy Tonto RIP was one of the people I wish could have lived long enough to see this.

It's the only playoff game I've ever attended and it was raucous. Hoping for similar vibes today. Go Bills! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steptide Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 I've been thinking about it alot this week. This particular team isn't the team I see winning a superbowl. Lots of injuries, under performing wide receivers, lots of ugly wins and losses during the season etc. Then I think, that's exactly the team that'll end up winning it all. We can only hope, but I've been a fan long enough to expect the worst. The thing I hate most about the playoffs is, if the bills lose, that's it, no more until next September, and that sucks. When they were in the drought, we always knew week 17 was the last game. We were always prepared 😅 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's our turn to become a dynasty!! The Colts won Super Bowl V, so I omitted them... I DID forget to add the Broncos also!!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExWNYer Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 2 hours ago, Draconator said: The first game I went to, Fergy was the QB. OJ was on the team. It was a Monday Night game against the Dolphins. I was like 7. I saw a guy being carried into the stadium, carried by 4 friends, each grabbing a limb. Bills won in convincing fashion. I remember my parents had season tickets for the first year of Rich Stadium. When it was raining out, I went to school in my mom's Bills rain poncho with the standing Buffalo helmet on the front. All I want is one Super bowl victory. I have a calm feeling about today's game. Buffalo will win today. We will be in Vegas and come home with the Lombardi. Drac, I don't mean to spoil your memories but, if you have the game correct, the Bills did not win. If OJ really was on the team, the Bills certainly did not win. He was traded to the 49ers prior to the 1978 season and the Bills were '0 for the '70s' against the Dolphins. They only played Miami once on MNF in the '70s (1976) and lost, 30-21. Hopefully, you meant another game. 17 minutes ago, muppy said: in answer to the OP my first thought to "Enjoy this Moment" was don't tell me what to do LOL This thread topic is great because I totally concur that we all need to be grateful to be alive to see the Josh Allen era.

I'm so glad that my two sons, now in their early 20s, get to experience 'The Josh Allen Experience' and to soak in this iteration of the Bills like I got to do in my 20s with Jim Kelly and the Super Bowl era Bills teams. Much like your buddy, I wish my mom, dad, and grandma could have been around to see Josh and this team. These opportunities are fleeting and I may not get to witness another generational talent at QB. I want to experience one Bills Super Bowl win with my loved ones and the good people on this board before it's my time to slip into the great abyss.

What I definitely remember is, that the Bills won, and the guy was carried into the stadium. He was literally unconscious, but he didn't miss the game. I'm probably wrong about OJ being on the team. It was early in the season, like the 3rd game. It was clear skies and a full moon. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whkfc Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 5 hours ago, Bills!Win! said: I spent 2001-2017 (ages 9-26) rooting for an abysmal Bills team who would always let us down. It was a yearly tradition to see ourselves “In The Hunt” at Christmas time. Year after year I had to watch undeserving fan bases like the Colts, Patriots, Steelers, Giants and Eagles make deep runs. As exciting as football was in my youth, I missed out on the Bills playoff experience. I always heard about the 90’s and Rich Stadium and how it was the ultimate home field advantage. The only time the Bills made the playoffs was when I played Madden. As I played I always imagined in my mind what it would feel like to host a playoff game and who that franchise quarterback would be and what he would look like. Enjoy what we have. We may only ever win 1 Super Bowl in Allen’s career and who knows, it could be Elway-esque. Nothing is guaranteed. We have our ups and downs but I’d take this season over any of those drought seasons. So when you want to complain about the coaches or some other minor problem, just take a moment to reflect on where we came from and appreciate what we have Someday we are going to look back at these years as the Good Old Days. Go Bills I'm sorry I need 1. Just 1 I'm not greedy. If this organization can't win 1 with a talent like Allen I fear it never will. Guys like Allen and Diggs need 1 I think to cement thier legacy. Winning 1 here would be like winning 2 somewhere else. And all but guarantee thier gold jackets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, if the game was a win and in the '70s, then you either saw the Chiefs in 1973 (very topical considering the opponent today) or the Raiders in 1974 (the Ahmad Rashad game). Those '70s teams were pretty sad with winning records in only '73, '74 (playoffs), & '75 and only 7 MNF appearances (2-5 record). That decade was my indoctrination into the Bills as a little kid. The kids today have it much easier with these Bills. 😁 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had just recovered from a nasty flu that had me watching the previous week’s freezing game against the Raiders in my room amid a pile of blankets in some weird fever dream. That day against the Chiefs was the first day I felt well enough to do anything, and I just powered through it on adrenaline because I was NOT missing it. I relapsed almost immediately for another week or so after that, but it was worth it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not interested in settling for a playoff team that never wins a title. The drought doesn’t change the goal because we’re contenders. Win the damn thing. Yeah. I mean, what did we really accomplish if we win today but go on to lose in Baltimore? The bar is higher imo. It's SB or bust. That may seem negative. I'm sorry. My standards are higher than getting pumped over the possibility of winning a divisional playoff win. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Returntoglory Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 I feel your pain and agree. I've been rooting and hoping since 1973. My Mom, May she Rest in Peace, loved HER Bills, but never got her SuperBowl victory. It's simple today really. Play your hardest and WIN!

This is the golden age of the Bills, right now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
