Enjoy this team


Buffalo716

Recommended Posts

Just take it all in and see how far the bills have came  

 

From the drought to having the consistency of beane and McDermott 

 

And how they followed their plan from A to z 

 

Enjoy Josh Allen, the best football player in the world... Not only is he the best football player.. he plays the most important position

 

There's something special brewing in Buffalo

 

And We're all here to have a front row seat 

 

I'm a BILLIEVER

What took you so long. 
 

I’ve been here over a year 

 

Welcome aboard latecomer 

I don't think making a post about enjoying this team means I'm a latecomer lol  

 

People were complaining about not winning the super bowl last year when we should have according to them

 

People weren't even willing to enjoy the great season last year 

 

It's a game.. enjoy having a good team.. enjoy having the most electric player in the NFL 

 

You seen threads after a loss? 

 

It's about enjoying the ride

Its great to head into a season with realistic championship expectations…

 

There was a 20 year period where this wasn’t the case if you were being honest…

 

Also to watch a player of Allen’s skills wearing the helmet with the buffalo .he probably hasn’t even peaked yet..

 

Still … it’s hard to win the whole thing…even if you got the best team..

 

I still think last year was a lost opportunity… but I think I’m finally just about over it..

I am with you 100%. I was over the KC game by midweek. Now if Josh retired without a SB I will be sad but he is the most exciting player since Michael Vick to play QB and he is a better passer

It is funny, I have always loved the Bills the same amount - a ton.  For too many years to report.  So it may seem crazy, but I have enjoyed all the years a lot, even when we were horrible.  One just had to look harder for silver linings (often finding false ones).  And now with Josh or at Kelly's peak, there was this added pressure that if we don't win the season was not worthwhile.  Ha!  I remember plenty of times 9-7 looked like a steak sandwich.  So yes, I love and really enjoy this team, and more so maybe than any other.  But I have loved them all, in a maximal kind of way, so the incremental love for these Bills is not as great as I would expect.  They are all like my children, and I have to love the goofy kid just as much as the squared-away scholar athlete.

This team is possibly the most talented they have ever had. One super underrated move they have really gone after this year is offensive line depth. The players they are bringing in are EXPERIENCED and VERSATILE. So many backups have a lot of starting experience.

I feel ya, 716.  As I've gotten older, I've learned to enjoy the moment without fretting too much about the end goal (i.e., I'm not a "Super Bowl or bust" guy).  This is a damn good team made up of seemingly damn fine men.  I think we're in for a lot of fun this season.  Can't wait for kickoff.

Lol, would not surprise me if it is/was some that seemed that way about last season. I'm not sure how one couldn't have enjoyed it though,

I'm sure the flock of posters saying "unless they win it all, it doesn't matter" will show up soon enough to piss in this thread. 

 

It's like saying "the movie didn't end how I wanted it to so it was a bad movie".

 

How people go through life not enjoying anything unless it ends exactly how they want it is baffling to me.

See that’s the point 

 

Would I LOVE a ***** SB win? Hell yes 

 

BUT

 

I’m content knowing we have a QB better than Kelly for the next decade.

Yup, now we can watch any game and know we have a high chance of winning it, there is indeed something to be said for such a situation, 😁👍🍺

Went to my first game in 1968 and I have been a loyal fan since then. I learned long ago to not hang on to the negative energy of a loss. Love this team and what they are building. Good time to be a fan...

 

Go Bills!

How I'm approaching this season. 


Bills win - drink to celebrate

Bills loose - drink to drown my sorrow

During the game - drink to relieve my anxiety

Before the game - drink, because

 

Before the game- drink, because? Well....because there's beer in the fridge 😀🍻

They call it "pre-gaming" for a reason.  You just do before the game.

I started to “re enjoy” watching the bills in Josh 1st season. I’d still enjoy even if we went 9-7. 
 

My god! Losman? I admit, I did enjoy Fitz, as in, yup “we-still-suck-but-we-have-more-fun-than-you!” kinda way. 
 

I take great pride and pleasure in being part of a crazy-as-***** mafia but now? Y’all NFL’ers got to deal with us for real.

my sentiments too. For some of you younger fans who didn't experience the 1990s or even earlier teams that made runs, this is your first combo of HC/GM/QB where the Bills have a legitimate chance to win any game. Savor it and enjoy it. Enjoy each team and game and having a good competitive team. Hope they get hot and can take it all the way. Some day in 2040 you will be talking about the good old days of the 2020s.

Last year was such a great ride, plenty of ups and downs.  My son started to get into football and we were able to watch the Bills together.  2021 was a damn near perfect introduction to what it means to be a Bills fan and I'm so happy he was able to experience it.  I was upset in the moment with the way the season ended but the kid took it much harder.  I've seen enough over the years to really understand that there is always next year.  It also helps when we have JA under center for years to come.  I grew up with Jim Kelly and loved those teams in the 90's, and I hope my son grows to love this team as much as I did those 90's era teams when I was his age.

 

Perspective...Josh Allen is entering his age 26 season.  Jim Kelly didn't take a single snap for the Bills until his age 26 season.  The future is bright and the window is wide open.

How are we to enjoy this team when Bill Polian already made it clear when he left that we'd never see a team in Buffalo as good as the one he built?

 

Not sure if you mean this as a dunk on Polian, but 25 years without a team that could even come close to what he put together is practically forever in football terms.

To paraphrase Polian "you will never see the likes of this team again in WNY".     It was merely a reference to one of his bitter exit statements.

 

He might be right..........this current team isn't close to as talented as those early 90's teams because talent is much more evenly spread around the league after 30 years of salary caps,  free agency and drastically shortened rookie contracts.  

 

There is much more parity.......which is why we haven't seen a repeat champion since the early 2000's.
