Band wagon fans will probably be something we will need to deal with for a decade or so. Those of us who bleed Red, White, and Blue just need to remember that our ultimate satisfaction will be greater.

A lot of Super Bowl winners have lost games. In fact all but 1.
People seem to forget this, for some reason.

Ugh. Good luck, Micah.

Haters gonna hate, hate, hate, hate, hate...
Seriously, I am one of those weirdos who watches the Super Bowl for football. Commercials and halftime don't even register in my brain.

Do we have to deglaze the pot to make full use of these renderings?

Yeah, he can be questioned until he performs at a high level consistently, it's just so comical on how Bills fans pick a 6TD game to double down on the criticism of Tua.
I get it. There are still some pundits who think Josh Allen's good play is a mirage while no one I've heard has criticised Tua at all, even when there are clear issues with his game which he clearly needs to work out. It irks me no end. I can see someone overcompensating for their anger at some of the crap Josh still gets in spite of lf his objectively good play to be too hard on Tua.

I just want to bury all potential competition as early as possible.

It didn't drive me bonkers when Manziel got the hype, though I loved watching him get flattened. It minorly bothered me when people tried to edge Baker Mayfield over Josh Allen, but so far that seemed like normal fan vs fan stuff.
Their defense, and now their fans defense of first Kareem Hunt and now Desean Watson are inexcusable.
I hate disliking the Brownies. Their local fans, like Green Bay's or a few others, reminded me of Bills fans.

IMHO, power football is the best way to clinch a game as a gift to your defence for a job well done so that they take a bit less punishment before the next game.
I remember how much fun it was en route to the 4 Super Bowls that the Bills could get the ball with several minutes left, huddle, line up, announce to the universe the play was counter-trey right, let the play clock run down to 1, snap the ball, run the counter, and just demoralise the opposition with an inexorable drive to clinch the game.
I want to see this team do THAT before I can really believe in a chance to win a Super Bowl. I need them to close out tough wins with authority.

I clearly remember all of these takes at the time. Josh was well praised with some expected trepidation, as we are seeing with Tua.
There is trepidation with Tua? I certainly have not heard it on national broadcasts.
I expect Dol-fans to he charged up and optimistic. Other pundits? Not so much. But it's like everyone said "Tua's going to be great," so anything positive is presumed to be incontrovertible proof rather than potential confirmation bias.

Until Steve Tasker, there was no such thing as All Pro Special Teams. His omission is as conspicuous as it is inexcusable.

Before you immediately jump to answer "NO", realize that this question does not mean that you don't like winning.
I enjoy the Bills recent success and I root for a championship trophy. I have a man crush on Josh Allen that my colleagues find odd. That being said, part of me misses the drama of Flutie v Johnson, Bledsoe v Losman, the Fitzpatrick upward trajectory followed by the downward trajectory, top 10 pick draft talk, checking the playoff tiebreakers to find a 1 in 1,000 chance of making the tournament, etc. I wonder if the large swings in outcomes of the past created a dopamine response in my brain.
Does anyone else feel this way? Or perhaps I am in a party of one?
Nope, not one bit.

One of the best RB in Bills history and listed on the wall of Bills fame.
will he be leading the team onto the field?
I am going to be very harsh. This is an affront to humanity.
If the Bills did this, then the NFL should go as far out of its way as it needs to to prevent the Bills from ever making the playoffs again. And if he dies of anything resembling natural causes, such as a heart attack, cancer, etc., then the Bills should be forcibly moved to Toronto and all fomer Bills fans and their descendants should be permanently banned from football games at any level in perpetuity.

This is wackadoo level stuff from the OP.
A likely murderer used the vast resources at his disposal and got a "not guilty" verdict as a result.
The fact that you were star-struck seeing him and needed to go and tell him what a great RB you thought he was is just weird. I can separate the man from the sport but I wouldn't go and idolize him if I saw him, I'd be grossed out, because he's a gross man who likely killed his wife.
As someone who threw out his OJ jersey the day of the murders because I was certain he had done them, I am with you.

I can state for the record that a LOT of people in WNY knew what kind of sleazeball Harvey Weinstein was back when there was Harvey and Corky. How he got as far as he did still baffles me.

The Dolphins (And Tua) look good, the Bills will do good just to split. The Pats will plod along, and not be an easy win. The Jets are better, and if Wilson matures, will not be sure win. The Bills sweeping the east is over!
There were never any "sure wins" to begin with; that's why they play the games.
"The Bills will do good just to split"? You are saying that it is clearly more likely that Miami sweeps Buffalo than the reverse based on not even 2 weeks' worth of games. Aren't you jumping the gun just a tad? Are you saying that Tua is what Allen should be or that the Bills' defence against the Rams was a mirage? Explain yourself in detail with logic, statistics, and game analysis please, because I don't see it.

The curse of the SB loser is real
Makes me appreciate the 1990's Bills even more every year.

No season is a "given" unless you are a cheater and/or the league loads the dice for you. The Bills will probably lose at least 1 game they shouldn't and could lose as many as 6 games. The Bills must be ready to face every team throwing the kitchen sink at them each game.
Now that I have got that out of the way, I am glad that I don't just hope that the Bills might win each game -- I EXPECT that the Bills WILL win each game, regardless of the opponent or location. I will get ticked off about every loss, but I am focusing on enjoying myself like I did in other seasons when I knew the Bills had a good team and dreamt about an eventual Super Bowl victory.

I feel like advising people to just worry about the Bills' performance and not over-react would be like "Young Fred" in the following exchange from "Yellow Submarine" (1968):
Young Fred: Don't touch that button!
(Ringo presses the indicated button. He is ejected into the Sea of Monsters.)
Young Fred: It was the Panic Button.

As long as the Bills beat teams from both conferences in the playoffs, why should I care about how the talking heads react to Miami's win?

Best one was from 1990:
Day-O. (Day-O.)
Me say Day-O. (Me say Day-O.)
Buffalo's going to the Super Bowl.
...
My ex-GF at the time had just dumped me before the playoff game against Miami, in part because she could not understand how I was such an exception from her old BFs because I was so into sports. (What I found out was that her previous guys suppressed it to keep her happy. I had no such phoniness. Similarly, they feigned interest in Doctor Who while I had tapes of episodes not available in the US.) I drove from Lansing to Buffalo after my last class Friday and officially caught Super Bowl Fever when I heard this just outside of Wayne Gretzkyville (Brantford, Ont.).

The thing is... in the NFL if you go 47% with average to bad Quarterbacking that is actually pretty decent as a coach. Bill Walsh had a win percentage of 41% without Joe Montana. Just for comparison sake. When you look at most of the top coaches in NFL history you find they had great Quarterbacking. It's why I think at times guys like Joe Gibbs get unfairly overlooked. It's why I say John Harbaugh is an elite coach. Because he has won a Superbowl and made the playoffs 9 times in 14 years without ever having great or elite Quarterback play. that is really hard to do in this league.
Is Belichick the same coach without Brady? Hell no. But I think people are looking at that win % without him the wrong way around. It isn't proof Belichick is bad. It is proof that he is pretty good. Just to be championship great he needs great Quarterback play. Nothing new there.
This is a great historical perspective.

If Bills punter punts doing a coffin corner kick which one of the special teams players catch on 1 yard like will you like punters?
Moorman made punting fun! He also was hurdler like Josh Allen and made tacklers miss.
Brian Moorman... master of the fake punt, fake field goal, dropped snap... First down machine!
It is sad to think of how many highlights from the drought era have Moorman in them.
