    I would have thought the Bills won the Super Bowl. Dudes were crying, players running around the field with Bills flags. I'm sure they're excited, they've lost the last 15 games to New England, but I thought the celebrating was a little over the top. Of course I don't really like any big celebrations (be it in the endzone or after a game unless it's the championship) that much. Growing up playing football our coaches always told us that whether we just scored, or just won a game "act like you've done it before". If we did anything in the endzone other than hand the ball to the ref, we would be running sprints the next day.

    That's funny one of our Pop Warner football coaches said something like that even though for the whole second half we took a knee on every offensive play due this stupid MERCY RULE in PW. Oh they won't be running sprints though on Tuesday's practice.

    As a card-carrying Miami Dolphins fan (a Fan O' Fish....if you will), I'd like to say I fully support the Bills run towards the playoffs cause I hate the Patriots and Jets and we are going NOWHERE. If it had to be somebody, I'd rather it be the Bills. I actually used to cheer them in their Super Bowls. Today's win was VERY impressive. I was following the score as I watched the final nail in the coffin of the Miami Dolphins. I mean, it's one thing to lose..but the Dolphins lose and are totally boring to watch. Fucking FIsh Fucks.

    Did you want to edit your post or just go ahead and delete it? :lol:

    As I posted in the New England Patriots thread i wouldn't bet on the Patriots in this game....turns out I was right. The Patriots ALWAYS have a stinker of a game every year.

    Good game Bills and first place for you.

    Peace
    :silent:

    Man was I wrong. Congrats to the Bills on a great game. They had the Pats on their heels the whole second half. Nice win guys. Different story next time around.

    The Bills literally havent won a big game against a good team in over 11 years. This is a big deal here. Especially with a terrible owner who doesnt care about winning, constant threats of relocation, and the feeling that the team is completely irrelevant in the NFL.
    This has the feeling of a bad movie... almost "Major League". people actually thought that they were tanking on purpose to move to Toronto or LA. So many undrafted free agents, low round draft picks, and guys not wanted. The high octane offense features F Jackson, Fitzpatrick, David Nelson, Donald Jones, and Stevie Johnson. The head coach is the guy nobody wanted. They were looking for head coaches at the time and all the 'good' guys like Shanahan, Cowher, Gruden, etc said no to Buffalo (due to the owner).

    So this is a huge deal to us... it hasnt felt real good to be a Bills fan in a long time. and the players know and feel it too. The atmosphere at a Bills game is one of the best in the NFL and may be the closest to a college football-type feeling.
    Looking around at Pats fans at the game, you can tell they were a little mystified by the massive celebration going on. They have gotten so used to watching wins and expecting a winner, it takes a lot of fun and 'triumph' out of it. I saw it in Buffalo too towards the end of their decade-long run... people started to take it for granted and the wins werent quite as sweet.

    Hey Buffalo Bills try not to spot the Bengals 21 pts this sunday. The games have been great but i can't take this shit all season. Nice to hold your head high as a Bills fan finally. Oh yes crow does taste good and i'm glad that through three weeks this team is proving me wrong.

    I dont think anyone can hang their head due to low expectations going into this season.

    The only people I know who had high expectations are a couple friends I have who are complete optimists every season and have been dead wrong for 11 straight seasons.

    I was one of those fans till i walked out of the Ralph last year after the Jets beat the living piss out of the Bills. This year i refused to let the abusive Bills suck me back in. But now i am starting to believe a little bit more.

    Before the season my cousin told me the mood in Buffalo was gloom about the team. This team needs to keep going. I admit i am worried about an emotional let down this sunday. Atleast this sunday i can sit on my couch and drink beer cheaper than at the bar.
