A Letter to Bills Mafia, Part III (from Dion Dawkins)

[Cntrygal]

Dear Mafia,

1. Honestly, this one is different. I’ve done two of these letters before. The first time was after we lost to Houston in 2020, and the motto back then was pretty simple: THE BILLS ARE JUST GETTING STARTED. The second time was before the playoffs in 2021, and the motto back then was simple too: THE BILLS ARE FOR REAL. But this time, I won’t lie — I don’t have any motto. It’s not about saying something hype, or about what we’ve done or what we’re going to do or none of that. This time it’s more just a letter I wanted to write to y’all. To my people. It’s a letter about how I’m feeling right now.

My favorite quote in the article:

But McDermott stepped up, man, he did. He got in front of the team, and he said we’re not playing, period. He said no matter what the outcome is, we’re not playing. And that might not sound like a lot, but it’s a lot. Because right then, that’s permission to be a person. Not a player — a person. Trust me there’s a difference.

What a great essay by Dion. He has a way with words.

I REALLY like this analogy of the “third date” with Miami.

“Bills’ Dion Dawkins says playing Dolphins 3x is like going on a “third date"

“We’re done waiting, we’re done coming at the king and missing, we’re done knocking on the door of this *****, with no answer, for this damn long. We’re keeping it SIMPLE this run. Because — straight up: It’s just football. You know what I’m saying? It’s JUST football!! And we’re better than these other teams at it, so let’s beat four of them and then have a parade.“

Man that’s like Kyle Brandt good. I want to run through a wall.

Yes. It fired me up too. Yelled "YEAH" and pumped my fist in the air. Then I had to sit down for a while.

Go Bills !
