Mooshocker12 Posted June 15, 2022 Share Posted June 15, 2022 First, I've been a true blue Bills fan since 1980. I've lived through the highs and the lows. One thing I have come to understand about the game is that it has to be played prior to declaring a winner. I read throughout a variety of news reports, interviews, story's, updates, etc., that we need to have already made our reservations for the Super Bowl. This really scares me (maybe I'm more of a frightened, tainted Bills fan these days). There are so many variables that are outside of anyone's control and there are numerous challenges that will arise which may, or may not, contribute to a loss here and there (see Jacksonville from last season). I suppose my point is this...let's move away from declaring and move towards supporting...through the good and the bad. Never too high and never too low! Go Bills! 3 3 6 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greg S Posted June 15, 2022 Share Posted June 15, 2022 Fans have every right to be excited. Expectations from the fans and media (both local and national) are sky high. The coaches and players will focus on the job at hand and take it one day/game at a time. We the fans can do whatever we want since we don't affect the outcome of the games. I am pumped for this season. If the Bills stay healthy then they have as good a shot to win it all as anybody. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T master Posted June 15, 2022 Share Posted June 15, 2022 I always hate when the national media make these declarations would rather be looked at as the underdog but with the QB we have & the team that surrounds him it's very hard to look at them & consider them a underdog . I feel with every thing in my Bills fandom that we will be in the play offs unless something catastrophic happens & you have believe that the SB is the final goal & i do believe they can do it it's just getting there . I do think it's a SB year though who out there truly has the fire power to knock the Bills out of it if they are firing on all cylinders ? SB OR BUST GO BILLS !!

The Miller signing is an "all in for this year" move. That doesn't mean Beane doesn't have a long term plan in place for the Bills. I am sure he does. But you don't go out and bring Von Miller here just to make the playoffs. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoCal Deek Posted June 15, 2022 Share Posted June 15, 2022 The entire point of being a fan is to root for your team to do well. If this turns out to be THE year and you sit there with folded arms until February…you’re going to be really sad you missed the ride. And if you join in the fun, what’s the worst that can happen? Wide right? Music City Miracle? Thirteen Seconds? For me and my household we’re going to be cheering from the season opener. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hondo in seattle Posted June 15, 2022 Share Posted June 15, 2022 There are 32 teams, so - all things being equal - the chance of any team winning the Super Bowl in a given year is 1 in 32, about 3%. But not all variables are equal. Some teams have better coaches and better players. So the very best franchises might have a something like 10% chance of winning the SB, while the worst teams might be under 1%. While I really like the team Beane and McD built, I never thought the Lombardi was in the bag. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Red King Posted June 15, 2022 Share Posted June 15, 2022 Nobody thinks this is 100% in the bag. We're all excited. This team that's been built is the closest we've been in a long while. Hell, we had the drought. For God's sake, let us be happy, let us be excited. If you can't be excited and swept up in championship fever until you actually win the championship, then the fan base of 31 NFL teams are going to be miserable this season.

In the NFL, once you get down to the final 5-6 teams (meaning the Divisional Round), everything is really just a toss-up. Fans worry too much about who is the "overall best team" in the league -- when in reality the last few games usually come down to specific matchups, injuries, who is on a hot streak, and just a little bit of luck. That's why the recipe for a championship is... win your division, get at least one home playoff game and hopefully the chips fall the right way. Think about it. Add a squib kick, and remove a blocked punt... we easily could have gotten a Buffalo/Green Bay Super Bowl matchup instead of a Los Angeles/Cincinnati. That's how small the margin of error is.

chris heff Posted June 15, 2022 Share Posted June 15, 2022 (edited) “(see Jacksonville from last season)”? Yes games like that can happen and probably will. In spite of that game, the “wind game” and others. In spite of a defensive that struggled against the run, in spite of an offensive line that didn’t find cohesion until late in the season, they were 13 insane seconds from the AFC Championship game.

Matt_In_NH Posted June 15, 2022 Share Posted June 15, 2022 Come on, everyone knows the preseason favorite does not automatically win the SB right? Yeah, lots of variables, lots of things can happen. With a great team comes great expectations...enjoy the ride. What is the alternative, go back to winning the off season with Rex? Hoping some mediocre QB is the next Drew Brees?

Well I have been a Bills fan since 1970 and seen a lot more ups and downs than you have so I would rather step on the gas and go all in and finally win that Super Bowl trophy. If you want to live in fear of being disappointed then you pump your own brakes I'm just going to let the chips fall where they may.
