BADOLBILZ Posted December 19, 2020 Share Posted December 19, 2020 I think the question is how would winning a SB change your fandom going forward? The woeful Bulldog on WGR basically said something I thought may be true for some Bills fans............he was a passionate Red Sox fan.........spending a bunch of money following them...... until they won a World Series and now he cares a lot less. He fits the profile of a lot of folks here.........he wasn't that interested in the Bills or Sabres until he moved away..........and then after living elsewhere for a while he became an avid fan of all things Buffalo because he felt like he needed that struggle as part of his identity.

BillsPride12 Posted December 19, 2020 Share Posted December 19, 2020 No. At this point the misfortunes of the drought years are well in the rear-view. If we still hadn't broken the playoff drought and winning the Division also meant clinching our first playoff spot then I think it's a completely different story. I didn't cry in 2017 because although I was very happy to get the monkey off our back it just didn't play out the way I always envisioned breaking the drought. We were a 9-7 team that had to rely on another game for us to actually get in there. It was cool but just wasn't as emotional to me as I always pictured because of the way it played out. I really wish last year when we beat Pittsburgh was when we could've officially ended the drought because that would've truly been on our terms. I do know even if we just won the AFC championship game to get back to a Super Bowl I would absolutely cry, and I mean winning a Super Bowl is a complete no brainer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This team is not perfect but it’s at worst a top five team as of this moment. You are only this good this late in the season every so often, and in our case maybe once in 27 seasons. Any thing less than a super bowl victory this year will be a bitter disappointment IMO. Agree 💯 we are good enough this season. We have what it takes. If we don’t win, I’ll be disappointed. Regardless, I’ll be happy that we’ve become a contender.....but I truly feel that this is the year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Virgil Posted December 19, 2020 Share Posted December 19, 2020 This might come off like a bit of a dick, but no. I think that’s a losers mentality and we are past that. Making the playoffs was a huge moment and I wouldn’t begrudge anyone for that. A lot of things had to happen in that moment and there were so many deserving players on that team, like Kyle. Winning the division was an expectation this year and it means nothing without a playoff win. Anything less than a playoff win would be a disappointment of a season. I’d rather make it in as the 7 seed and get a win or two than just win the division. The issue for is, we’ve surpassed expectations almost too fast. Josh wasn’t supposed to be this good already. The defense wasn’t supposed to bounce back like this. Diggs wasn’t supposed to lead the league in receptions. If we made baby step improvement, or if Brady was still owning our division, it would be a different story. But we could have locked it up last Monday. The fact that we could win the division with two weeks left makes it almost anticlimactic. Expectations have changed very fast and winning the division is nice, but it’s the price of admission going forward 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expectations have changed very fast and winning the division is nice, but it’s the price of admission going forward For the most part the refrain before the season was that they will go as far as Allen can take them. So I don't think it's a crazy shock that Allen has been excellent. I think the manner he has been excellent..........short to intermediate accuracy improves and not running nearly as much and still not fixing the deep ball issues.......is surprising. But it was feasible for him to be excellent. The defense was supposed to be "top 5" and Diggs was supposed to be a revelation at WR. And more importantly we were told back in the struggles of 2018 that year 3.....2019........was supposed to be the year all along............and it almost was but they still went 0-2 vs. the Pats and stumbled down the stretch and came unglued in the playoff game. 4 years into a regime we shouldn't be the least bit surprised to be a SB contender. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob in STL Posted December 19, 2020 Share Posted December 19, 2020 (edited) Oh darn. I thought the question was win the SB. So I voted Yes ! Tears Of Joy. I will cry like a baby. I would not cry for AFC East Division but I’ll be damm happy. Too old and grizzled to cry for that though. I saw the AFL champs back in 64 and 65.

Nelius Posted December 19, 2020 Share Posted December 19, 2020 (edited) Is the question for the division? If so, no. If we get to the Super Bowl? Maybe, but that might be more so out of frustration as I scramble and try to figure out Super Bowl plans during a pandemic. What a year to be great. No complaints. If nothing else I'm flying to Buffalo and hanging out in a living room with as many Bills fans as possible. Win the Super Bowl?

I pledged after the 4 Super Bowl run that I would never buy another Bills celebratory shirt unless it said "Super Bowl Champs." I bought a slew of AFC East and AFC Champions shirts on the last go-round, only to never wear them after the sting of the SB losses.

Chandler#81 Posted December 19, 2020 Share Posted December 19, 2020 See? SEE??? See how we are? We bawled when Dalton shocked the NFL World. Since then, we’ve played 2 playoff games with a 3rd one coming in a few weeks. But we haven’t won one. The 😢Tear Bar keeps getting re-set higher. For those of us who were here for the SB run, it became clear then that only a Super Win will truly be acceptable. For the even fewer of us who recall our Championships in the mid ‘60’s, tears are followed by lifting up our players on our shoulders and carrying them off the field. Has the time finally come?
