Big Turk Posted July 21, 2021 Share Posted July 21, 2021 (edited) Over the past several years we have watched teams that have either never won a championship before or won for the first time in many decades in major sports hoist the trophy in their respective sport: Golden State Warriors Cleveland Cavs Philadelphia Eagles Washington Nationals Houston Astros Toronto Raptors St. Louis Blues Washington Capitals Chicago Cubs Boston Red Sox KC Royals I am super happy for these teams and their fans that they get to celebrate but I can't help feel a little bit jealous...when is it our turn with the Bills or Sabres??

NobesBLO13 Posted July 21, 2021 Share Posted July 21, 2021 Didn’t they win it in 1971? Was it not considered a major title back then? I’m not an NBA fan so not sure of NBA history in the 70s. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greg S Posted July 21, 2021 Share Posted July 21, 2021 Its coming. I have no doubt Beane, McDermott, Allen will lead the Bills to a Super Bowl Championship. The AFL championships (before my time) were nice but 65 was a long time ago. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First Round Bust Posted July 21, 2021 Share Posted July 21, 2021 '71 was so long ago, Dennis Shaw was the Bills qb throwing to Marlin Brisoce and Haven Moses with James Harris as backup qb...and the Bills radio crew would often say that OJ would make a great WR...Bucks were led by the Big O and that Lew Alcindor guy plus Bobby Dandridge...coached by Larry Costello...memories of childhood 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think we are going to dominate an era the AFC is just so loaded at the moment but I think we will find a way in the next 5 years to win a Superbowl. As for the Sabres.... yea. I think never.

mushypeaches Posted July 21, 2021 Share Posted July 21, 2021 It's our turn when we frigging earn it - when we have the optimal combination of skill, luck, coaching and aggressiveness.

Crazy times we live in when the Bills and Browns are both mentioned as co favorites along with the chiefs to come out of the AFC. Both fan bases have suffered enough, should be fun to watch this play out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At some point those players become the problem not allowing progress to be made. You cannot have players who have such a negative vibe from losing and bad attitudes effecting the other young players. Eichel, Reinhart and Risto need to go so they can save Dahlin and Cozens. Edited July 21, 2021 by Big Turk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allen runs as well but the big difference is he can beat teams with his arm as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are brilliantly coached, they have a great front office and they have a really strong roster around Lamar. Him not being a great passer has been 31-10. They have upgraded as wide receiver too. I think their path is narrower than some of the others (I feel the same about Tennessee) because they have a clear QB limitation and so less margin for error, but they have a shot at being in the Superbowl. I think it is those 5 in the AFC. KC, Buffalo, Cleveland and then a bit more of an outside shot Baltimore and Tennessee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
