    Outside of Josh Allen, Who Is Your Favorite Player On the Roster??

    1) Dion Dawkins

    2) Spencer Brown

     

    For decades I watched our QBs get consistently beaten and bloodied while folks such as Levy and Jauron focused on running backs (with no blocking) and the secondary. The OL is the reason that Josh is able to do his job and the team wins football games.

    Are we sure he will make the team?

    I specifically separated him which is why I stated talent wise brown or Milano. Question was not who’s the best player after Allen? 
    Love Tre for his time here and personality. To answer your question, he’s by no means a lock to make team. If he does make it he won’t be starting.

    Would you rather $ or Lombardi?

    I feel bad for anyone that would accept $500 knowing their favorite team would never win a championship. That means they are truly  desperate and in need of any quick cash asap. $500 isn’t changing anything. 
     

    The amount one would accept obviously varies based on age, lifestyle, future goals, and situation. I obsess over the bills and prioritize over anything but family (even that sometimes is questionable 😆)

     

    As stated everyone’s number should be different based on current situation and future outlook, I start thinking hard about it at 850k and up. Once we get 2M range I’m accepting.

    Who would everyone rather have back, Miller or Poyer? Not that they will, but it’s a fun conversation to have 

    That’s a tough question. Poyer far more beloved from his time here but is fully washed. Miller best years far behind him,  but can get 5 sacks in limited role. 

    Since 2020 - highest scoring offense and fewest points allowed defense

    Sorry to get a bit philosophical on a football board, but...

     

    Let me ask this. Is a person's life meaningless unless they reach the top of their profession and are rich and famous? i.e., "win the Super Bowl" according to society's  standards.

     

    Or do they instead look back on life and see all of the fun and loving interactions with their friends and family; births, weddings, small achievements by you, your spouse, or children. Do they take pride in learning and growing and becoming a better person and helping their children to do the same, pride in overcoming the obstacles and adversity that they've faced, the enjoyment of holidays and parties and vacations and great conversations, and intimate moments with the one they love, etc., etc. What is more important in the end?

     

    My second question is, when we win the Super Bowl, what then? Yes, it would be an awesome, ecstatic moment that we will all remember for a long, long time. A weight lifted off our collective shoulders. But then what? Do you stop watching football? Do you not care if the Bills stink then for the rest of our lives because at least we got one? Or does the narrative become, well we've only won one Super Bowl with Josh as our QB. A good GM/Coach would have won 3-4 with Josh. But, how does it really change how you watch the following 10-20 years of Bills games? I could care less about bragging rights, etc. And of course, that stuff fades with time anyhow, just ask the Jets. Whenever they say, "well at least our franchise has won a Super Bowl," others will respond, "yeah like almost 60 years ago, you weren't even born, so who cares." What we will remember is that moment, and that memory of sharing it with our families and fellow Bills' fans. But then the next season, it's just striving for that same goal again---and who knows how long it will take to do it again?

     

    And we have actually had tons of those types of moments, just not in the Super Bowl. But honestly, I wouldn't trade being a Bills fan for all of the Lombardis in New England and K.C. Why? Because it hasn't been easy. The life lessons that have come along with being a Bills fan (resiliency, perseverance, overcoming adversity, loyalty, compassion, true teamwork, etc.) are unquantifiable. And because of all of the heartbreak, our small victories can be as or more exhilarating or precious than those other teams reaching the peak.

     

    Let's go back to New Year's Eve 2017/2018. The drought ends. One of the best New Year's Eves of my life because of it. The joy and celebration we felt and shared with the team and Bills fans all around the country/world (just for making the playoffs) was probably as high as any team's secondary Super Bowl win (if it wasn't their first SB, or first in a long time). I mean how much true elation was there for say New England's 4th or 5th Super Bowl? Of course you're happy to win it again (especially if it was an exciting season), but the emotions felt are no where near the peak of that 1st one...or probably of making the playoffs after a 17-year drought.

     

    How about the rally in Buffalo after the first Super Bowl loss in the 90s. When the entire crowd cheered for Scott Norwood to come to the podium (after having "lost" the game for the team...as many other fans would see it). Still brings a tear to my eye. And Marv reciting the "Sir Andrew" poem to the team, after the SB loss, about getting back up to fight another day.

     

    51-3. I don't even need to say any more and most of you know what I'm talking about. And those that are old enough to have experienced it know. I was in the stands that day and I will never forget the party that was going on in that stadium for the entire second half. Or running through the parking lot after, high-fiving every other Bills fan.

     

    The Damar Hamlin incident. How the team and community rallied together for our fallen comrade and grew closer because of it. All of the charitable donations made by Bills fans (Andy Dalton, Lamar Jackson, Damar, etc.)

     

    I could go on and on...but you all know. We have had a lot of joy and a lot of heartbreak on this journey with our beloved team, but isn't that life?

     

    And in the current era, beyond breaking the drought, we have enjoyed 93 wins (almost 65% of our games), we have dominated our division rivals, scored the most points and have the 2nd most wins last five years, getting to watch an All-time great QB---Amari lateraling the ball back to Josh for a TD in the snow vs. SF, Josh hurdling Anthony Barr to win as a 17-point underdogs, the perfect New England playoff game, the epic battles with KC (reg season and playoffs), etc., etc. I don't know about you, but I have enjoyed it all, Super Bowl or not.   

     

    Yes, we all want to see the Bills win a Super Bowl, but if it all seems meaningless unless they do, then maybe it's time to get off the ride. One person can look at a roller coaster and say, that's dumb it just goes around in a circle and you don't get anywhere, so they walk away. While another person gets on and relishes the sensation of every up and down, every twist and turn.

    The “release show” itself is incredibly stupid but schedule release day is one of the most important days of the year for me. As you know I live out of town, so every game I attend is a travel game and I like to get ahead of the demand.

     

     

    100% on this! The show itself is ridiculous and preview months ahead of matchups where you have no idea who will be injured or any other factors. The schedule being released is one of my favorite days. I base my remaining vacation days and planning events around it!
