BillsPride12

I think it's probably a combination of both. Beane and McDermott have built a very good football program, one that has us winning divisions and getting out of the wildcard every year but the problem is they haven't built a true Championship contender. The optimists say stuff like "well If this, that, and this didn't happen we would be right there" but the problem is these variables happen every year with us. Seeing the Chiefs reach the Super Bowl yet again after going through their own version of that this year during the regular season should be a real eye opener. I think the analogy of the Phillip Rivers Chargers teams is spot on for this current Bills era.

I have similar feelings. I have pretty much come to terms that I will be rooting hard for Detroit the rest of the way....But if they do come up short will feel a sense of relief they didn't get one before us.

Can't believe it's been 33 years. I remember when it was the 20th anniversary like it was yesterday.

Newspapers will be long gone by the time the Bills win a Super Bowl

This is really hitting home for me this year. Never been an MLB guy, tuned the NBA out years ago, and I'm at a point where I can barely stomach watching the Sabres. This is it for awhile

Probably not the most popular choice on here but Lamar But I wouldn't mind seeing Goff win one either Mahomes has already been to the Mountain Top and Purdy doesn't deserve a ring It would and I am rooting for the Lions from here out but there's definitely a petty side in me that would be disappointed to see the Lions get one before we do. Especially when you think about where the Bills and Lions were 4 years ago

Prayers to you and your wife brother 🙏

Even as a kid I felt like he portrayed that "Mr.McMahon" character a little too easily, it didn't seem like he was doing much acting

Anybody following the latest Vince McMahon allegations? Yikes 😳

As far as passion and showing out for the team I'd say Buffalo has as good of fans as anybody out there As far as behavior we have both some of the most amazing fans and some of the worst. I've always felt like our fanbase feels like some sort of hybrid breeding of Green Bay fans and Philly fans lol. It's definitely unique

I've been wanting a premier pass rusher in his prime soooooo bad for decades now...that is one of the most important championship pieces after getting the QB. Imagine our Defense with a TJ Watt, Nick Bosa or Aidan Hutchinson...BAD THINGS MAN

Yeah I mean it still really stings the Chiefs knocked the Bills out again but if you take away those feelings I think KC-Baltimore is a great matchup and whoever wins that game is more than likely winning the Super Bowl this year. The NFC matchup is exciting because of the Lions storyline so all in all it should be a fun Conference Championship weekend this year Now I was just telling a buddy at work today that if the Super Bowl ends up being KC-San Fran I'm probably not watching that

Was sad to learn about this earlier today, didn't know him personally but I knew of him and his battle as I'm from the Niagara area, I'm a bit younger but I know people who were friends with him. Seemed like a great guy and a true Bills fan through and through. RIP Jon

I don't like Harbaugh but he does make the Chargers better and the AFC even more competitive

I like Kelly but that's kind've silly. Wasn't the knock on Kelly he didn't do enough on that last drive to get the Bills closer to Norwood's ideal yard range? 47 yards was no chip shot back in 1991

I thought he might have been playing with bruised ribs just judging from his reactions to certain hits in that area....100% speculation on my part and I could be completely wrong but if it was something like that then I think that could contribute to dropped passes. I actually don't think it was a hamstring because there have been plenty of times where he has been getting open where either Josh isn't getting him the ball or he's dropping the pass. Just a very weird situation without knowing what is actually going on.

I'll be honest I really thought he was playing through some sort of injury. One where he was able to still suit up and take the field but enough discomfort he couldn't play at his level. I thought for sure there would be some sort of acknowledgement of this after the season was over but neither Beane or McDermott said anything in their press conferences and Diggs didn't speak to the media so now I'm even more confused than I was during the season trying to get an understanding of what happened. I just can't believe he completely fell off a cliff in the middle of the season and I don't question his effort as a competitor so it really is confusing.

Didn't even bother watching any of the game last night...I mean I work mornings so it was an easy choice but I'm really checking out on the Sabres this year. I feel like even when they are playing in Eastern time zones I'm gonna have no desire to watch. Anybody else feeling this way?

I don't know how it ends up but I would use Dan Marino as the first example over Phillip Rivers. Josh is in another class from Rivers and this is coming from someone who was a big fan of Rivers.

I liked it better and I also liked the NFL regular season at 16 games. The seasons are just getting to be excruciatingly long and so many players are either completely out with injuries at this point or playing banged up and not close to 100%. I am not using this as an excuse for why the Bills lost but just a general statement on the NFL

Von cashing in his paycheck:

No I wasn't realistically expecting a Super Bowl this year but as a fan you watch and root for the best outcome. Having Josh Allen we will always have a puncher's chance at beating anybody. I did think and was really rooting for us to beat Kansas City to exorcise some demons from the past but even then I was really nervous about this game at the same time. I made a post in another thread before the Chiefs game saying the people that thought we were going to run through KC and then Baltimore and just waltz into the Super Bowl like this was our year were going to be in for a rude awakening.

Homefield advantage is nice but it's not enough to swing the outcome of a football game. I was happy we were finally getting KC in Buffalo going into this game but in no way did I think that guaranteed us a Win.

This was something I was worried about going into the game. KC definitely looked like a shell of itself during the regular season but I had a feeling they were going to ramp things up for the playoffs. Most people on here seemed to be unimpressed with KC's performance against Miami in the wild card but to me I felt like I was watching them play their best football of the season and as I was worried about they carried it over to yesterday's game.

Naw this one hurts. I also hate that this is the outsider's perception of the Bills(and he's not wrong)
