Outside of Nate Burleson, everything I have watched this morning has been how the Cowboys lost and not how the Bills won. The Cowboys' coaching, the Cowboys' play calling, Dak playing for his contract and what he deserves, the Cowboys' kicker missing kicks(not noting how Hauschka missed an XP and FG as well), endless drabble about Dem Boyz, with a little congrats to the Bills thrown in at the end with a 5 second shout out. Personally, I love it. Keep slighting these guys, keep sleeping on them, keep feeding that fire burning within them to prove the naysayers wrong. Like Jerry said yesterday, "You don't like us, but we're winning!!!" :thumbsup:

Currently 38 minutes into First Take, so far 100% Cowboy coverage.  Literally there has been one line before a commercial break where Molly said “Want to give Bills some love here too for winning the game”.  THATS IT.  
 

WTF???  I don’t even care that they aren’t talking about the Bills...40 min on one 6-6 team????  This show is a joke as usual.

I didn't care what the talking heads were saying when the Bills played like bums, I don't care what they are saying now that the Bills are winning. I know that the team I have been a fan of for the last 30+ yrs is 

 

 1. Fun to watch

 2. Competitive

 3. Talented

 4. Unpredictable

 5. successful

 6. young

 7.learning to win

 8. Coached well

 9.Focused on winning a championship

10. representative of the fanbase

Used to say this a lot on previous message boards.

 

to sum it up...

 

If you have any friends who are hardcore San Antonio Spur fans...best to get their advice OR just not worrying about National Respect.

Perfect analogy. Spurs just won but never got respect. Just win!

GMFB started out by focusing on how Dallas is not living up to expectations. Later in the show they started talking up the Bills. Probably pretty even, but the Dallas story angle will get more national interest.  I feel as though the Bills have to beat the Ravens before they truly get respect, which might be fair.

Nope, if we beat the Ravens it’ll be about how they just had a bad day. Nothing changes until we dethrone the Pats. Clear and simple. Not a single game of any magnitude in the regular season will give the Bills respect.

 

this plays right into our hand, folks!

Kyle Brandt said Burleson can slam him through a table if they beat the Ravens. 

 

Burleson did talk up Josh on how he has more rushing TDs than Lamar. 

 

 

They always give bills love. 

 

As far as the rest of them, who cares? But if you do, beating the Ravens should take care of it. 

 

No matter what happens with the cowboys, the talk will always be about them.

Louis Riddick with some really cool insight into McDermott and our defense on First Take.  He’s been around Sean and talked about how disciplined and nuanced he is. 
 

They also called Josh a “poor mans Cam Newton” right now, but acknowledged the sky high potential.  
 

Also mentioned the need for better accuracy, which is always a give away that they barely watch us.   The only accuracy Josh needs to work on is his deep ball.   Once that comes, he’s going to be elite.

The narrative is already about the Pats decline, so if we beat them that will be the story. But everyone thinks the Ravens are a power house and Lamar Jackson is an MVP candidate, so if we beat them we'll get a lot of respect.

He has the potential to be much better than cam. He's already 100x the leader

Completely agree. They hedged on it by acknowledging Josh’s potential, but this is now 3 games in a row where Josh has been a stud.  It’s starting to click for him.

The Dallas love-fest scripted by CBS was derailed. I would have hoped for something better than Emmett cheering a missed field goal on the broadcast. Too much rambling by announcers on Dallas drama while the game was going on. Seemed more like an audition for TMZ than two guys who actually liked football. The sideline reporter added nothing.

GMFB wasn't too bad. Opening with "what's wrong with Dallas" but quickly seguing to "don't sleep on the Bills."  However, First Take with Stephan A. Smith on ESPn spent a solid 45 minutes licking Cowboys boo-boos.

I dont watch ESPN or nfl network since i dont have cable. I do watch the pregame shows on NBC, CBS, and Fox and they talk about the bills alot throughout the year. National writers were talking about the bills quite a bit on twitter yesterday, especially Stephen A Smith!

Last week when Gore hit his milestone, the announcers during the afternoon Pats game were all prosing on about Gronk - GRONK!  as the "player of the week"

Only one of them manned up and said "how about some love for Frank Gore?" and mentioned his milestone game, and it was kind of rushed through with a quick flash of a graphic before the got back to Gronk.

 

I'm sorry, but when it becomes all about a guy on the announcing crew who is no longer playing, over a genuine milestone for a HOF player, that's just WRONG.

The story is always more interesting when you don't know the ending. 

 

But yea, to hell with that gronk *****.

The GMFB crew loves the Bills. I have a theory on it. The Bills are the trendiest fan base because of social media. We come across as “cool.” Our fans, players, quirks, etc... all make us connect with that generation. I’m 38 and kind of on the edge of that age but I think if you are between like 16-40 you kind of love us. You love our passion and energy. If you are Bill Cowher or Boomer you just don’t “get it.” If you notice the people that love us they are all in that sort of age bracket (Schein, GMFB, Michael Robinson, etc).

That I'm sure is a part of it.  The other part is I think all the pre/post game shows are more focused on what is the "big market" game/team that we need to talk about.

 

The GMFB show go through each game one way or the other and yea, they do love the bills (well, the guys love the bills because Kay does).

Yesterday was the first game of the season that I was able to watch, although I did get to see them in Charlotte during the pre-season.  I'm glad that they had such a great showing and that the announcers (Romo and Nantz) were off-put by the Cowboys' loss and the national media had to eat a bit of crow.  

 

It's always about Dallas and/or New England, so of course the overhyped Cowboys would be the lede for today's news.

Stephen A Smith gave credit to the bills as well as one of his co hosts. The other co-host was a little wishy-washy he blamed dallas deficiencies but also recognized bills. 

So that's both NFL Network and ESPN giving us some love. 

If you're surprised that they'd all still rather talk about dallas and whats going on in dallas -- don't be, they have a lot more viewers from dallas and texas then they do from Buffalo and no amount of winning will ever change that.
 

Plus, who ISNT talking about the Jerry Jones spectacle anyways? Guy was crying in the booth rubbing his hands on his face, holding locker room meetings threatening to fire his coaches.... the circus is in town in Dallas. 

We don't need the circus. JUST WIN!

loves to find things to trash the Cowboys and he’s had Buffalo as the 5th best  team

 

I has this in the 2019 playoff thread. 
 

https://www.espn.com/blog/buffalo-bills/post/_/id/33963/bills-take-control-of-afc-wild-card-race-with-win-over-cowboys
 

 

Bills take control of AFC wild-card race with win over Cowboys
 

Describe the game in two words: 

Respect earned. Critics might argue that the Cowboys are not as good as their season stats suggest -- but beating this team on Thanksgiving, at Dallas, on a short week, while controlling every facet of the game after both teams' opening drives? Put some respect on the Bills' name
