EMERALD CITY BILLS

With uniforms inspired by the Oregon Ducks collegiate team, the Bills were formed in 2019 to compete in the expansion of the Pacific Northwest Football League.
 
The Bills experienced one of the most awkward debuts of a new team in quite some time.  The original March 2nd opener with the Rip City Mafia was postponed due to state-wide inclement weather.  A bye week immediately during week 2 led into their week 3 on-field debut with the Willamette Valley Vikings only to suffer a 30-24 set back...or so they thought.  The loss to the Vikings was vacated after the PNFL announced Willamette Valley used an ineligible player.  Finally on March 23, the Bills played their first "official" game being blasted by the Sentinels.
 
The Bills would get in the win column the next week, only to give out a forfeit the following week.  The Bills would manage one more on-field victory to finish the season 2-4.
 
Invited to take part in the ICFL vs PNFL challenge to kick off 2020, the Bills surprised many with a 12-8 victory over the Boise Savage.  The PNFL season was canceled a week later due to the Covid-19 scare which continued into 2021.  The Bills got one game in, an "exhibition" game against a team calling themselves the "Salem Spartans" made up of various players from around the League.
 
When 2022 finally kicked off, the Bills found themselves in the basement finishing 0-8.  Elijah Polk had a standout performance earning all-league honors as a return specialist, something he got plenty of work at.  Brandon Figgs was also honored by the league for his efforts.  Artie Patterson became one of the oldest players in the region at the age of 55 during the Bills '22 season.
 
Failing to score offensively in the final three games, the Bills along with the PNFL became another footnote to history as neither returned in 2023.  Only two teams represented the entire State of Oregon that year, the long-standing South Lane Buzzards and the newly formed I-5 Cobras.
