Success

I am, but I can’t tell if the reason is just because I’ve been beaten down by the Patriots dominance. Kinda like a horse that’s been broken. They’re calm too.

I appreciate your comments, but I also take some issue to people telling Kap what he “should” be doing instead, as many have done since this started. Everyone expresses themselves in different ways, which is one of the great things about being an American. There are those who work quietly behind the scenes for a cause, and there are also some who just create confrontation and challenge others to think in a different way. Whether people agree or disagree with Kap, it’s undeniable that he brought attention to an issue and started a national dialogue. Personally, I give him credit. I think what he did took courage.

It could play out that way. But Allen’s play at the end of the season has given me more hope. And while Brady’s longevity has confounded me, he’s not a god. This year’s SB win felt like a swan song to me. I think the Jets and Bills will be fighting it out for the division in the years ahead.

I think we have a good shot at the division this season.

I don’t like the New England Patriots. Not one bit.

It’s not a fair fight at this point , and won’t be until BB retires. McVay is 33 and was in his first SB. BB has lived there. I’d have to google to get an accurate total if how many times he has been there.

I love the thought of Darnold and Allen regularly battling it out for 1st place in a few years, while the Pats look up from the cellar going through one QB after another in the impossible quest to replace Brady. In a way, I hate that we have been so incompetent for 2 decades and have been incapable of giving the mighty Pats any kind of challenge in that time. But in another way, it was perfect timing to be inept. They would have always won the division regardless. Allen’s ascendency could be timed almost perfectly to coincide with Brady’s decline and inevitable retirement.

It’s going to be extremely important to me that the Patriots start losing soon, and don’t stop losing for many, many years.

I feel like I still remember every minute of that long drive. It just got more and more frustrating. There was one 3rd and long where about 3 Bills had a chance to make an easy tackle and couldn’t. That extended the drive by about 3-4 minutes and probably decided the game.

I’m patriotsed out.

Every fan base says they’re the greatest fans - but it’s only true with us.

This made my day. No. Really. It did.

Or the division.

He’s alright - he’s had good games and bad games. Your opinion on it is meaningless. Regardless, it’s not pure fantasy to think the Bills could contend.

I don’t dislike Hogan, but he is one of the most overhyped players of all time. A very average receiver. If we picked him up, my most enthusiastic reaction would be a barely perceptible shrug.

Most teams have ceilings and floors going into a season. And most fans tend to focus on the ceiling. It’s not unrealistic given the money they have to spend, the draft picks they have, and the fact that it looks like they finally have a franchise QB after 2 decades, to think the Bills might be able to compete for the division. It always cracks me up that you think we should just be wallowing in misery, without hope and doing nothing but praising the mighty Pats. This is a Bills board - most here are excited for the season to begin. Crazy, right?

Pats fans are cartoons at this point. They have actually made me wonder if I would even want to win that much. I know we have our own issues with the table jumping and occasional questionable projectiles, but I’m so glad I’m a Bills fan.

Basketball and football are both team games.

This board is a bit looser in that respect. I’m kind of amazed he hasn’t been banned here. That was a good day in the other board. I come here as an escape and to talk about my favorite team. I don’t mind if a Pats fan comes here and really wants to talk Bills football, but that isn’t his deal.

I loved how we were playing at the end of the season. I think 2019 is going to exceed a lot of current expectations.

The Bills will be one if the most beloved teams in the nation if we can finally step up and end this reign.

Pats fans repeat this a lot in response to the weak division criticism. It’s only partially valid, imo. They are all-time great, no doubt. And they would have won a lot regardless. But their reign DID coincide with a fairly unprecedented run of complete incompetence from their division rivals. And that helped. Even this season- just a slightly tougher division probably means no bye for them, and a much less likely shot at #6.

I think it is a real possibility. There is some hubris there. It would be wonderful to dismantle that team just once with Brady at the helm.

He has made so many head scratching throws this year. He was still great by normal standards, but he’s clearly slipping. Outside of the big throw to Gronk, he was sort of bad last night. I hope he is starting for them in 3 years.

Blowouts are more boring - but it wasn’t a well played SB. I like good defense, but both offenses were inept for much of the game and both blew easy plays.
