Bing Bong Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 (edited) No way man! We're a storied franchise. Primarily because of the Kelly era, but we had the Juice! One of the early AFL teams that proved they could compete with the NFL post merger.. and a darn good AFL team before that. Is this possibly the worst season (at least by offense) ever by a franchise? yeah it could very well be a 30 for 30 lol, but we're not a friggin expansion team. The Bucs and Jags and Texans have had god awful years and no Superbo... scratch that the Bucs have one. BUT THE JAGS AND TEXANS.. no chance. I'm just pleading to your self of steam OP, don't lose that steam in your self. Bills fans are quite respected around the states (although the table crashing is tarnishing that.. starting to piss me off actually, I'm not in Buffalo but you guys up there gotta stop those idiots.. or at least find a cool drunk thing to do).

John from Riverside Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 I realize that we lost all of them but how can this be if we went to 4 consecutive super bowls? How many NFL teams can boast that feat? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hate them for the past 25 years. This is awful. If I could swap teams I would -- I wish I were capable of it. I really care about this team. It negatively effects me when they're like this. I'm 34. I've been a Bills fan since I was 5. I can't remember the glory days (where we never won a super bowl which makes the glory days pathetic). This has been awful. I cant remember the last time I thought the Bills were going to do anything but ***** the bed. It's so embarrassing. I live out of state -- think I rock Bills gear? Hell no. Why? Because when I do people come up to me and are like 'dude, why do you like the Bills? They're awful.' I really wish I could un-be a Bills fan. This isn't fun. McDermott isn't the right coach but we'll have to roll with him next year, I just know it. I proudly rock my Bills gear everywhere and anywhere. To each his own, but I find fans who question why - as though people should only support winning teams - pretty pathetic. I’m proud to be a Bills fan. It’s not for the weak-minded. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soda Popinski Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 I know we're down there, but we have those glory years to lean on that will never be replicated again. And we still have our team. It's November in 30+ hours and we can shift into full 2019 draft mode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fadingpain Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 2 hours ago, BuffaloBill said: Look I know the topic is likely to prompt a lot of emotion but it it is a legitimate question. No doubt the Bills have had a few good years. However, even in the Kelly “dynasty” the loss of four consecutive SB’s hangs over the luster of all else accomplished in that period. There was also the early AFL days, prior to the merger and SB, where the Bills had some very good teams. Outside of these two eras there are a range of results with not many years being considered good or excellent. What are your thoughts? The facts speak for themselves. Of course, the Bills (and Sabres to a slightly lesser degree) are among the worst franchises in N. American team sports. They have been around for a combined century, more or less, with no championships to show for it. Yes, I know the Bills had a couple in the old AFL; I'm talking about the merged NFL and the NHL.

Football, obviously the four SB losses, Music City Miracle, and the playoff drought we just ended. Hockey, no goal Basketball, Braves passed on Calvin Murphy, but it doesn't matter since the team skipped town on us anyway.

In other words, in a typical season we lose about 1 game more than we win. Below average? Sadly, yeah. Disappointing? For sure. But one of the most pathetic franchises ever? Not really. thats cuz we have 2 of the other most incompetent franchises in our own division. thats why we usually scratch out 6 or 7 wins Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GreggTX Posted October 31, 2018 Share Posted October 31, 2018 (edited) This forum needs a no whining zone. We're rebuilding top to bottom. Give it a rest. We're lucky to even have the Bills.

Next time Peterman throws an INT people will start another 10 threads exactly like this. Oh, and when we beat the crappy Jets at home later in the year people will start 10 threads about how many records Josh Allen will break.
