How the Buffalo Bills became Football's Tragic Hero 

Remember, they agreed to trade their 10th pick in the 2017 Draft to get a haul of resources... to Kansas City; KC got Mahomes.

Chiefs fan here. Bills Mafia is without a doubt my favorite opposing team's fanbase. Awesome people that love football. Great job on the video.

I was born and raised in Dallas so I will always mourn the Texas SB that might have been. I have mad respect for the Bills and I truly hope their day will come

As a Bills fan and a long time watcher of you, I welcome you to the fanbase :)

Why Buffalo stories seems like a really sad movie

“13 Seconds” will never be duplicated. Truly a loss for the ages.

As a lifetime Buffalonian who never really got into football but was recommended this video by a friend.... This honestly just sounds like I dodged a bullet not being a Bills fan. Y'all truly live a tortured existence.

OJ sure knifed his way through the defense

i recently started getting in football and was looking for a team to cheer on. this video has conviced me to join the bills mafia

I got an ad for Ram trucks after you said "Orenthal James"

Crazy timing. Netflix just released the 30 for 30 or whatever show about the 4 peat Superbowl losses.

Many fans were sick & tired of the Bills making the SB again in the ‘93 season vs the Cowboys & then lost 4 consecutive SBs. I sure was excited towards the end of the ‘94 season when they were eliminated for playoff contention. Looking back now, it is a remarkable feat they even made the SB 4 consecutive seasons. The Chiefs this decade could probably match it.

You made a well edited, well documented video on the history of the Buffalo Bills :) I've been a follower of the Bills since 2017 and have just become a full-time fan since this season as well (attended Miami game as first Bills game) It seems painful now that the 1 big thing standing between Bills and the Super Bowl is Patrick Mahomes. Hopefully, this will be something like the Bulls of the NBA, once they get over the hump of their conference rival, the doors wide open for the Chip! Hope to see more videos like this should you ever do another deep dive ❤

My mom, who could care less about sports, felt bad for the 90s Bills after the fourth SB lost in a row.

Honestly as an eagles fan, I kinda feel the buffalo bills fans. All my life we got close to the SB or had our runs and never got lucky until 2017. The Bills are who I root for in the AFC cause I honestly feel like their fan base and ours are pretty similar. I hope they get a SB with Allen. Quality franchise with awesome fans!

As a Chiefs fan I love this video. I respect Buffalo a ton, and hope that one day their fans can hoist their own Lombardi.

As a bills fan.. all I have to say is… “ hurt…” yes that’s a gotg reference… and I felt my stomach drop and my heart stop watching that ball just drift right from the kick. I immediately turned the tv off, turned my phone to do not disturb and just went to bed. Next day I still wore my bills hat and my jersey. Win or lose I will be a buffalo fan.

you should do a video on how the islanders 1980s dynasty is so forgotten. they won 4 stanley cups in a row and the most playoff series in a row of any team in north american sports history.

Simpson is proof that Justice may be Blind but it sure knows what Money smells like...

Yeah I know how it feels

Mahomes is single handedly going to ruin Jackson's, Allen's, and Burrow's careers. The 3 of them will never win anything with Mahomes in the AFC

Great video. Lifelong Pats fan but I have always loved the Bills going back to using Thurman and Bebe on Tecmo Bowl

Welcome to fandom, friend. I've been a Titans fan since '98, when they were the weirdo Tennessee Oilers. Our teams have some fun history together (even outside of The Comeback and the Music City Miracle). I really hope Josh Allen can finally at least get to a SB. He's earned it, and I think it'd be a feel-good story.

lol “rock bottoms rock bottom has in fact, a rock bottom” awesome quote!

As a Lion's fan we've never been able to succeed as long as I've been alive, losing in the NFCCG this year hurt so good considering the 30 minutes we were ahead was probably some of the best 30 minutes of my entire life.

Chiefs fan here for the tears. That said, good vid… and OJ is clearly the greatest BB of all time. Likely top 3 RB of all time. Cheers

And living in Canada we had our version of a big trial in 1995 with Bernardo and Homolka , but OJ overshadowed it all.

you take one look at Josh Allen and you get why the kid's a winner.

I don't understand how you don't dedicate more time to the 13 seconds game. That is easily the greatest football game I've ever seen played.

Lifelong Chiefs fan but my bro is a Bills fan. I have a load of respect for Josh and the Bills Mafia brings the energy every time we play. See you guys next year!

MASTERPIECE Family Guy star OJ Simpson As a die-hard patriots fan, this pretty awesome video man Yeah I know how it feels Chiefs fan here for the tears. That said, good vid… and OJ is clearly the greatest BB of all time. Likely the top 3 RB of all time. Cheers Sadly, the first time I ever heard of O.J. Simpson was when his trial was all over the news. At the time, I was 11 years old and had zero interest in any sport. It wasn't until later that same year that my grandfather got me interested in college football, which gradually led to my interest in pro football and other sports. documentary material I clicked like on the video because it was well put together and I LOVE being reminded of Bill's misery. Best In League Losing Superbowls!!! Did he not mention the Music City Miracle? I may have missed it, but too lazy to rewatch this is the best team you love make Seane. 😅

Love the video, welcome to bills mafia. GO BILLS

As a Chiefs fan we know your pain we lost 6 games this year, so we know we know

As a die hard patriots fan, pretty awesome vid man

*dokumentaray material*

MASTERPIECE

family guy star oj simpson

Did he not mention the Music City Miracle? I may have missed it, but too lazy to rewatch this 😅

Thanks to remind me the force awakens trailer

GO BILLS BABY

Get ready for a rollercoaster ride every season long as your a fan I've been a fan my entire life and I'm from buffalo

That bitterness eats a ball club up. It gets in their head.

I’m not sure I’ll ever see it or not but the Buffalo sports fans are they most passionate sports fans in the country were there for so many years the bills were a non factor they deserve a championship more than anyone a bills lions Super Bowl would be amazing

As much as we praise the 13 second game . It actually was the start of a downturn for the team. The following season josh and the team couldn't live up to the hype. Then the accident with damar Hamlin happened and that awful Bengals game . After that the connection between Diggs and Allen was never the same . This year has been a roller-coaster 🎢 of emotions. I think this year the less attention on the team will make them better. Because no sports analysts at the moment believes the bills will finally take down the chiefs next season

I was hopeful the Bills would win it all this year 😢

As a buffalo bills fan since 1974 I will happily take anybody sympathy

This was amazing but what we really need to do to finally break through and win it al, is to sacrifice anything and everything to the pit

Sadly, the first time I ever heard of O.J. Simpson was when his trial was all over the news. At the time, I was 11 years old and had zero interest in any sport. It wasn't until later that same year that my grandfather got me interested in college football, which gradually led to interest in pro football and other sports.

The Nanaland reference completely took me out from left field lmao

I think the longest playoff drought I know of was my Milwaukee Brewers 26 years from 1982 to 2008 with 7 winning seasons in that span losing 100 games once in 2003 legendary bad still have only made one world series in 1982 which was a loss to the cardinals

Yeah, I use to live on the Buffalo Bill's pain during those 4 super bowls loses, watching Allen (want to be goat turned little lamb) today getting his butt kicked in the playoffs back-to-back brings back the good old days of pain in Buffalo,' looking forward to the future torments to come, all hail to the Chiefs.

wait, is there an OJ Simpson curse on the Bills?

You have stop trying to pin this on Tyler Bass. There was a minute 43 left and no possible way Mahomes doesn’t eat up clock and get the game winning field goal drive

Palpatine: "Did you ever hear the tragedy of Darth Buffalo the Wide Right?" Anakin: "Of course! Everyone knows about that. Buffalo came up one point short in Super Bowl XXV by missing a field goal wide right. Then they played in the next three Super Bowls but lost them all by double digits. It was heartbreaking!" Palpatine: "Good, Anakin! Did you hear they made a sequel?" Anakin: "What?!?" Palpatine: "Yes, young Skywalker! It was the second tragedy of Darth Buffalo the Wide Right. The difference was that it happened in the Divisional Round instead of the Super Bowl." Anakin: "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!"

Fun fact: OJ Simpson has more murder victims (2) than he has career wins against the Miami Dolphins (1). OJ was 1-15 against Miami. Fins Up!

At least you didn’t knowingly chose to be a Jets fan😤😳😮‍💨💯

The Bills are the Mariners of NFL

Born and raised here in Buffalo. welcome to the "family" Only way out now is in a box :)

They are what they are

Before even watching, I notice that the thumbnail for the video mirrors the Mets and Dodgers videos

Not only was Derek Anderson 2-17 but he was pictured wearing his Bills uniform.

IDK if it's actually true, but supposedly, the main reason that O.J. was not cast as the Terminator was because James Cameron didn't think anybody would buy him as a killer! Also, I remember reading a kids book about OJ back in the mid 70's t hat portrayed him as a national hero who only didn't want to go to Buffalo because of the weather.

I went through the same experience as you becoming a bills fan. I used to be a giants fan when I was a kid and remember then beating Brady in the Super Bowl then fell out of it and wanted to get back into this year but I felt no love or connection to the giants anymore and with the bills Being thr only team that plays in my home state it felt natural and I fell in love with the team learning about the teams players coaches and history as the season progressed

Josh Allen is a superhero

Thanks Buffalo for crying enough to get that rule change 😀😆

Did you use VLC media pro to get your footage? It looks interlaced instead of progressive

I feel bad

Surprised you didn’t mentions one of OJs lawyer. He was pretty famous but his daughters went in to be mega stars lol

Shake it off by Taylor Swift is playing in the background at 13:00.

I clicked like on the video because it was well put together and I LOVE being reminded of the Bills misery. Best In League Losing Superbowls!!!

The chiefs knocked buffalo out of the playoffs and went on to appear in the first Super Bowl. This goes back decades

Chiefs Dynasty

Boy I Love Losing Superbowls BILLS…… Somthings never change😏

I SEE A BANDWAGONER

Ayy

I never understand how people can "change" their favorite team🤔 I couldn't imagine calling some other team my favorite. Seems convenient I suppose😂

Cool video . Go Chiefs 😁 And before I get the "bandwagon" thing AGAIN, I've been a Chiefs fan since they moved to Kansas City MISSOURI in 1963

As a Bills fan we love our team win or lose. Of course a title would be amazing, but there is no way we would love them anymore if they won it all. I think next year I will take anyone winning the SB before the Chiefs.

Screw Buffalo and their terrible fan base

Welcome to the mafia

Wide right sorry guys

As a Jacksonville Jaguars fan I can relate to some of this.

"Tragic Hero" Other AFC East teams 😂😂😂

You can always tell a non-native Bills fan by how they root for the team... natives say "Go Bills!" and the only appropriate response back is "Go Bills!" But welcome to the Mafia. We welcome all!

Please God let the Bills go 13-4 in the 2024 NFL season and go to Suoer Bowl 59 and win it.Please the Bills fans,me,and Josh Allen are on our last leg.If the Bills don't go and win Super Bowl 59 in New Orleans,La we are going to get killed 😂😂 I'm just kidding but please make the Bills a NFL champion

This was absolutely brilliant. How we elevate sports so it becomes a thing we gather around in groups feeling like we're part of something larger is something that upsets people when I tell them that this is how religion(s) started. But it's obvious, no?

Nobody will get 2000 yds in 14 games ever again

LMFAO bro joined the wrong bandwagon. Should’ve been a Dolphin fan 🐬

Lmao you do know most people hate the bills right. They were never hereos they had a chance to “save” us from taylor and the chiefs but never were they once considered heroes 😂😂

The Bills beat the Chiefs in one of those 4 championship games. The Chiefs gave them a chance to finally get a Superbowl win, but the Bills decided to lose to the Cowboys...again.

Chiefs and Bengals own them😂

I wouldn't call it tragic. Just like sf, Baltimore, and Buffalo, this year the refs made sure to push mahomes thru. So many u.s. fans have seen this happen and have stopped watching the nfl. 06 steelers, 02 raiders, 2012 ravens, manning broncos, Katrina saints, helmet catch giants, now the past 3 chiefs sbs. Fans see the disparity of reffing in these playoff games , especially. They're tired of it. The swift nonsense is so over the top. It's why they are trying to force additional required streaming services for viewing games. Their desperation is palpable. The original nfl owners are linked to organized gambling, and that's easily verifable, and not debatable. Bubba Smith a colts player from sb 3 , claims it was rigged against Namath. The funniest part about it is if the nfl let the best teams win , the revenue would generate itself. But they insist on adjusting the outcomes for both gambling purposes and narratives . Both game quality and fan retention has been on a domestic decline. Hard to believe they've failed so badly. The initiative to grow the global brand is almost necessary to offset the sour taste they've left in the mouths of their decades long viewers. It's a shame

Lol the bills any good, nope "Mahomes is better"
