  1. The hostile media effect, originally deemed the hostile media phenomenon and sometimes called hostile media perception, is a perceptual theory of mass communication that refers to the tendency for individuals with a strong preexisting attitude on an issue to perceive media coverage as biased against their side and in favor of their antagonists' point of view.[1] Partisans from opposite sides of an issue will tend to find the same coverage to be biased against them.

  2. This is Mahomes investing in things to set him up for retirement. He also owns minority shares in the Royals and both the women's and men's soccer teams in KC. Smart players look at guys like Magic Johnson who is making more money in business ventures than he did as a player as the model to follow. Payton Manning also owns a whole bunch of Papa John's franchises and a stake in an Anheuser-Busch distributor in Louisiana.  

  3. Now that I've had a chance to cool off a bit, I agree with all the things mentioned by reasonable posters. What i will add is that this team doesn't quit. Most Bills teams of the 2000's quit after that Allen sack late in the 4th. Also, the play that won the game for the Texans was just dumb luck. Neal had Watson sacked and Milano knocked him back on his feet. 

     

    I would be as upset as other on here, but I decided about a decade ago that I won't let the actions of other grown men decide my mental state.

  4. You guys are trying to set a standard that no QB except for Eli Manning has met. No one consistently beats NE year in and year out. Look at what Belichick's defense did to Mahomes in the AFC Championship game last year. Goff looked like he forgot how to play football when faced with Belichick's D. Payton Manning took how many attempts to beat NE in the playoffs? Payton (most likely a first ballot HOFer) was 6-11 in head to head matchups with NE when Brady plays. By your standards, every other QB in the league except for Brady sucks. Well, except for Jake Plumber, who for some strange reason was 3-0 in head to head matchups with Brady.

    Overall I have no quarrel with your logic, but speaking as someone born the same year as the Bills franchise and who grew up and toddled around the living room watching the Bills, this isn't quite right.

     

    The Bills over most of their 59 year history have been cyclically good and bad, like most teams. 

    AFL championship in '64 and '65, lost the conf in '66. 

    Winning team '73-'75.

    Playoffs '80-'81

    Winning team '88-'93, including the 4 SB appearances

    Playoffs '95-95, 98-99

     

    It's really the stretch from 2000 to the present where the Bills have been, not consistently bad, but mired in mediocrity.  Not good enough to win, but not bad enough to lose and draft high for a few years, and suffering from a continuous carousel of coaching change and either absence, unqualified, or hampered GMs.  An overall rudderless ship, adrift in the NFL ocean.

    8 HC in 17 years at the point where McDermott was hired pretty much says it all during a period where the most successful NFL franchises have had 1 or 2 coaches.

     

    Exactly. The average number of wins during the 16 year drought was not 4 or 5, but 7. So, not good enough to win but not bad enough to draft highly and unfortunately our highest draft picks came during years with less than stellar drafts.
