Thrivefourfive Posted Saturday at 08:22 PM Posted Saturday at 08:22 PM Guess it’s okay if the conversations meander a t(h)ad 😐 Are the Bills your first NFL love? Whats your first Bills memory either way? - Yes. One and only - My first memory is hearing around the house that Jim Kelly is destroying with the Gamblers and acting cautiously exuberant that he’s coming to save the Bills. The very first word-for-word quote I can recall is, (on the 1987 season) “Grandpa thinks the Bills aren’t too bad.” One more random thought.. can anyone can shed light on the Legend of Brian McClure? He’s 61 now so nothing life threatening. But drafted by Bills in 86, starts one game in 87, and the stream runs dry? Injuried beyond repair in his only game? Did he get recruited by The Farm? Cold War Double Agent? https://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/M/McClBr20.htm Quote

skibum Posted Monday at 04:05 PM Posted Monday at 04:05 PM (edited) I have recruited quite a few bandwagon-jumpers over the years, even during the drought (playing the underdog angle). But they all still have a primary team that isn't the Bills, and I doubt they check in on any Bills boards. Edited Monday at 04:30 PM by skibum Quote
NoSaint Posted Monday at 07:57 PM Posted Monday at 07:57 PM I’ve followed the team for decades. I have even started enjoying them again recently! Considering becoming a fan. 1 Quote

without a drought Posted yesterday at 07:38 PM Posted yesterday at 07:38 PM Is it okay for Hailee? Quote
ganesh Posted 4 hours ago Posted 4 hours ago My heart went out to the Wide Right Bills on a late cold night in Grenoble!!!...Haven't missed a single game over the next 34 years, even if it meant staying up late nights now in India for the past 14 years... We saw Kelly ride to the sunset along with Thomas, Reed and Smith. We thought Collins was the 2nd coming of Kelly...Alas There was going to be no hope with Alex Van Pelt Then came #7.....and rekindled the hopes again...only to be crushed....and muddled it with Rob Johnson... Aah...the Drew Bledsoe Era...when we had two 1000 yard receivers (Go Figure)....and still get wacked by the 3rd string Steelers in our own backyard Drafting Losman after losing out on future HoF'er Rotherlisberger....only to be losing games.... Then the hyped up Trent Edwards....50-0 in High school or something ridiculous like that....a noodle arm...and a sad end.... Another 1st round pick in E J Manuel....all we sadly got was Tuel Time !!! A FA making a difference....FitzMagic all around....beating the Patriots in the Season opener.....four seasons...7-2 start...didn't matter....heart break heart break. A Tyrod Taylor sighting...or the Peterman Disaster....The Bills feeling Hopeless....At least they break the Jinx of not making to the Playoffs.....17 long Winters (thankfully seven of them in mildly cold Bangalore). Finally, the Gods decided to bless the City of Buffalo and the Mafia...Josh Allen #17 from University of Wyoming...son of a farmer...cantaloupes, pistachios...but with a gun for an arm... Time is ticking...but time is right...Season MVP....Time to bring that Lombardi home....the day he will bring joy to a city and its people...built on toughness to beat the heartbreaks, the nay sayers, the competition....the Earth's brightest star shining in his glory. Go Bills !!! Quote
Mat68 Posted 3 hours ago Posted 3 hours ago It would explain a-lot. Some havent suffered through the drought and it shows. Some still act like we are. All we wanted was a team that every year was on a short list of favorites to win the Superbowl with a franchise Qb. Allen is the best watch in the league qb wise. Buffalo is entertaining in the best and worst ways. Only thing left is raising the lombo . Quote
BigAl2526 Posted 2 hours ago Posted 2 hours ago I was already a Bills fan, but I do remember that I was very intrigued by Josh Allen during the pre-draft process. He lacked the background in a big-time college football program, and didn't get the kind of high-level coaching that would help him deal with mechanical issues. He had everything else, the athleticism, arm strength, intelligence, attitude, everything. Everyone else was fixated on "the other Josh" but I sort of thought Josh Allen might turn out all right.

I thought my record of one missed game since 2008 was good for a non-US based fan. But you have me beat. Quote
