I agree. I like the Bill's Mafia persona, but I do not like being associated with the moms that jump through tables and act like they just had their first beer. This is not representative of true Bills fans.
It is creating an identity within the culture of that particular team. I wouldn't say it is meaningless. McDermott has certainly created a vision of what "Bills Football" is for this team and it seems that the players are ready to lay it on the line for their teammates. This seems to be anything but meaningless.
This is going to be a good test for our defense. I am optimistic that they will do well. They will not shut down Barkley, but they will keep him from a big day....I hope.
I believe the most critical phase of this game is how well our o-line jells. It normally takes time for a newly formed offensive line to mesh and get comfortable with house their line mates play and what to expect from them. With Mitch Morse having had limited practices, this will be a challenge.
We made the playoffs in 2017 with that formula.
I doubt that we will be that unbalanced this season. We should rely more on the passing game. But the point is winning, not how we do it.
We had 9 wins in17.
We had one down year under bean and that year had a purpose. To purge the team of over priced and under performing players. Beane accomplished that. I can't believe how blind some posters on thus board are. The Bills have had the best leadership over the last three years than any time since treasurer bowl years. We have a Premier defense and a rapidly moving offense. Why all the complaining. Enjoy the ride. It is just getting started.
I have to say I have gotten into to VGK. They are such a great story. I am glad the NFL will be in Las Vegas, but I will never be a Raiders fan. Never, never, never.
There are an incredible number of raiders fans in Las Vegas. I am sure many fans from Oakland will attend games in Vegas. It is expected to be about 50/50 with Raiders fans and visiting team fans. I just hope that is a safer and more welcoming environment for the visiting fans than it was in Oakland.
I live in Las Vegas. I will definitely be going to the Bills game in 2020. The stadium construction is progressing nicely . There has been no mention of any concern regarding the stadium not being ready for the 2020 season.
