Hey, I agree. I want a Superbowl just as much as any other fan. But it is kind of annoying that any time anything positive is ever said about the team, there is a contingent of fans that come and say "it doesn't matter because we haven't won the superbowl." It gets old. We all want it. We all get it. They aren't saying anything we all don't already know. It is just this joyless, wet blanket of an attitude that isn't fun for anyone.

Soo well said..
With that last sentence maybe the most significant, most profound. Joyless. So sad for them. But worse-- that they try so hard to bring others to that dark, nasty place.
Thank goodness it is only a very small percentage of 'fans' who are like that. I cannot imagine not enjoying this current ride and the joy it has brought to me and the overwhelming majority of Bills' fans.
I agree, Mister Defense!
MJS, well said, bro. Couldn't have said it better myself.
Go Bills!

619, thank you for sharing and these accomplishments do matter. These arguments that everything is meaningless without a title is silly. Sure, the OP even states he wants a title like the rest of us. I guess some have such a lack of gratitude for what we have done, they magically forget 17 years of languishing in misery. Also the mid 80’s where we were winning 2-3 games a season. I’m 57 amd I remember all of the agony and humiliation of admitting to people from other areas being a Bills fan.I pray during football season each morning along with prayers for my family and dear friends that we finally win the big one. I pray, but understand those who choose not to do so as that is their prerogative.
Go Bills!
Spot on, MGK. Good to hear from you!
Yup, while we all want a title, this has been a great half decade of Bills football that we can appreciate. And, hopefully their continued success will produce a Lombardi.
While every fan has their own personality and opinion, some of the comments are strange. You’d think you’d be hearing comments like these from other fanbases as they try to argue why their team is better or why the Bills aren’t that good, not from actual Bills fans.
Hope you have a great summer. Go Bills!

Because everything else is meaningless without a title. That’s the nature of team sports.I guess we’ll have to agree to disagree.
While a title is the ultimate goal, it doesn’t mean that fans can’t appreciate when their team or an individual on the team do good/great things.
Like I mentioned upthread, my college basketball team has won five NCAA Championships. There’s still other good/great things they’ve done (team or individual) to appreciate besides the titles.
While I hope our continued success leads us to a title, this has been a great half decade of Bills football in many ways. And hopefully it’ll turn into a great decade of Bills football, along with a title.
Go Bills!

The Lombardi trophy is everything. Talking about regular season stats, pro bowls, mvps, and hall of fame is for fans of franchises that never get it done when it matters.
No, it’s for fanbases that can appreciate when their team accomplishes something good/great, title or not.
My college basketball team has won five NCAA Championships. There’s still other good/great things they’ve done to appreciate besides the titles.That said, like I mentioned upthread, I do hope all this success does lead to a title. We all want that.
Go Bills!

Pretty stat, but doesn’t mean much when that team from Mizzou has owned us and been to 5 SBs in less than a decade.
I get it, we all want a SB title. I even mentioned that I hope this success leads to at least one title.
But, why does every good thing they do get negated with “doesn’t mean much, no title”.
With the examples I’m about to list, please know I’m not saying you’ve said all of these, I’m just giving examples:
-Five straight AFCE titles - “Yeah, but, no titles”
-McD best winning percentage coach in Bills history - “Doesn’t mean much”
-JA NFL MVP - “Yeah, but no ring”
-Highest scoring offense and fewest points allowed defense over five years - “Doesn’t mean anything”
I want a title just as much as the next Bills fan, but it doesn’t mean there’s been no good things that have happened and that this team hasn’t had a great run. There’s still things to celebrate.
If everything is based on a title no sports franchise is successful because everyone has way more years without titles than they do with titles.We all want a title, but it’s still been a great five years for the Bills and our fan base.
Go Bills!

Good one, Doc. Thanks for laying down the ground rules! 😃🤣

Just shows how good we’ve had it the past half decade.
Man, I hope we can turn this success into a Super Bowl title. Even if it’s just one!We’ve been dominant though and we’re very fortunate to have this run as fans.
Go Bills!

Isn't it crazy how different this place is when we're winning. If this was mid draught the OTA thread would already be like 14 pages long as we all scower to try and cling on to some minute detail about a player being our sole source of hopium.
Now it's just like "meh, we're good, I'll see you in September"
Or, “Eh, talk to me when we’re in the playoffs. Just get Bosa (or whoever not named JA) healthy by then.”
Completely different and great place to be as fans.
Go Bills!

Im only curious after seeing so many Knicks fans come up out of nowhere now.
Ive been on the boards long enough to know many here are long and knowledgeable fans. Ditto the passion the fanbase still had in the drought.
But I do have a friend for example from Wyoming who started liking the Bills because of Josh. I think that’s a legit reason 🙂
Been a fan since 1988 when the Bills played the Bears in Soldier Field. They lost 24-3. Should’ve known with that loss. 🤣
My kids fandom started in the most recent drought years.
My wife went from a casual fan to a diehard fan during the Josh Allen era though.

Good.
what would be the point of divisions if they just seeded the conference by record?
might as well just have two divisions in that case, the nfc and the afc.
Yeah, I agree.
Some divisions are just tougher than others, and sometimes they beat each other up to where the division champs record isn’t as good. Or, you may have a division winner that faces tougher competition by having a harder schedule.
One thought I’ve been OK with when it comes to altering playoff seeding is if a division champ has an under .500 record. In that case, I can see giving a home game to the wildcard team instead of a division winner.
Go Bills!

Week 1 - Seeds 8 and 9 play each other. Bye week for every other team that made the playoffs.
Week 2 - The winner of week 1 plays the #1 seed. Then, seeding just how it is now. 2 vs 7, 3 vs 6 and 4 vs 5.
The rest of the playoff weeks as is.
I’m not sure how I feel about it, but there are advantages:
1. The #1 seed isn’t the only one with a bye week
2. Every team who made the playoffs, without having to win a play in game, would get a bye week
3. The #1 seed would have to win three games to get to the Super Bowl like seeds 2-7 would
4. It’d allow a team riddled with injuries who gets healthy or a young team who gets hot a chance at the playoffs. We see it many years where a team is decimated by injuries and it takes their season. Maybe if there was a play in game for seeds 8 and 9 it’d allow a team like this to still have a shot. Or, sometimes we see a young team start to gel in the second half of the season and get hot. It’d allow a team like that a chance to get in by being a 8 or 9 seed
5. It’s one more week of football
Just some off-season thoughts. What say you?
Go Bills!

"Bills Mafia is the best. The fans, the people of western New York are the best people you'll ever meet in your life and that's kind of what I talked about earlier, the family-like atmosphere in the community, the small-town feel," Allen said. "Everybody kind of knows everybody. I'm just very fortunate to be a part of a community that loves me as much as I love them and being around them and being in western New York. So it's a perfect fit."
"I don't want to play anywhere else. Not too often do players get to stay with one team their entire career," Allen said. "This is home to me and it'll never not be home. I'd love to continue to play here as long as I can and when it's time to put the cleats up, hopefully it'll be in Buffalo."

@stevewin, do you have information about this?

Awesome!
Make sure you also watch @Big Turk’s post as well. It’s also on page 1 so just scroll down. It’s Josh’s reaction to watching Oishei kids congratulating him.
Also on page 1, @stevewin provided info on how to donate to Oishei’s $17k for 17 drive.
Thanks, fellas!

He was honest, it still stings.
But, he’s going to get back at it and bring it again next year.
That’s our QB and we’re blessed to have him. JA, living for another day.

Sorry for all of the "pity me" posts, my brothers.
I'm really struggling right now. Really struggling.
No need to apologize. Better to get it out than hold it in.
You’ll be back. You’re too much of an optimist to be down for too long. It’s just the moment you’re in right now.
Keep getting it out and give yourself some time.

Very good article from his high school career all the way to his NFL career.
"Allen bears the weight of this whole city on his shoulders and he does it gracefully and very humbly."
That’s OUR quarterback!
Slay the dragon this weekend, JA, get us to the Bowl!!

The Chiefs are second to last in the league in success rate and dead last in yds/play against TEs.
Have a day, K2! Both will be a focal point in the game plan but I’ll have give the edge to Kincaid. He’ll have a couple important drive extending catches, create some space for our RBs (as will Knox) and will also take one to the house.
He’ll be the best TE on the field Sunday. 6 catches, 72 yards and a TD!
Who ya got? Go Bills! -

Offensive Side of the Ball: Amari Cooper and/or Keon Coleman. Last week was about matchups in the middle of the field, this time the matchups are there for Cooper and Coleman to make big plays happen and keep Buffalo scoring.
Defensive Side of the Ball: Ed Oliver or Terrell Bernard. We aren't gonna slow down Lamar and Henry a ton, but the DL is really the key to keeping pressure on and throwing Lamar off rhythm. If Ed can lead the charge for the DL and avoid getting blown off the ball, I think the Bills have a much better chance of keeping Henry at bay and keeping Lamar in their sights. I also think Bernard continues to grow as a defensive leader and helps sure up the middle of the field defense by fitting the run, occasionally blitzing, and covering the TE's.
On 1/17/2025 at 2:16 PM, hondo in seattle said:Defense: Bernard
Offense: Shakir
I don't think Cook is going to get a lot of yards on the ground, certainly not as many as Henry. But I do expect Josh to pass for more yards than Lamar.

Great job on picking TB, fellas. Game changing when he caused the fumble and recovered it.
Also had four tackles, three of them solo.

@Simon, is this a record for a bump?
If not, do you know what the record is?
