Chandler#81 Posted July 6, 2022 Share Posted July 6, 2022 I hear ya, Jay. Call it BBFS, call it decades of futility. This is definitely bothering me. The list of teams who haven’t won a Super Bowl is shrinking as we age rapidly. This HAS to be the year! (right??)🥺 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have to disagree, being the hunter allows fans to feel less pain upon failure because they weren’t “supposed” to win anyway. But I’d rather risk that anguish knowing that my QB and team have no excuses for not winning it all. The best team doesn’t always win it all, many have said for months the Bills were the best team last year and then 13 seconds happened. Coaching cost Allen his first ring last year, if they repeat that mistake this year… torches will be lit and crowds will gather at the gates, and rightfully so.

eball Posted July 6, 2022 Share Posted July 6, 2022 I'm 53 years old. I've lived through the highs and lows of being a Bills fan. Nobody lives and dies with this team more than I do. I can say with 100% sincerity that I have no idea why high expectations bother you guys. I love it. I'm basking in it. We have a great freaking team and everybody knows it. I don't play the games and neither do you. We have no input and no control over the outcome. Try to enjoy it! GO BILLLLLLLLLSSSSSS!!! 20-0, baby! 4 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dablitzkrieg Posted July 6, 2022 Share Posted July 6, 2022 (edited) Stop being a puss and enjoy being the best with the best QB. Humble and hungry as McD. Says.

FilthyBeast Posted July 6, 2022 Share Posted July 6, 2022 As long as the lockerroom, front office, coaching staff, etc understands all this positive press means absolutely nothing it's really a non issue. But from what I see on social media from the fan standpoint, Bills mafia is setting themselves up for major disappointment if this year doesn't pan out as a lot of fans and media believe it will. And it's borderline absurd seeing fans make posts about booking SB arrangements in AZ next Feb and truly believing this team is destined for a championship no matter what. Just remember, when the dust finally settles only 1 team truly has a successful season and 31 other franchises have to wait until 'next year'. And while Bills fans certainly should feel more confident than about 20+ other NFL teams fan bases right now nothing is guaranteed including a SB, let alone even winning the division/making playoffs in a very loaded conference this year. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s a huge difference to me between now, when I know we can win it all, and when we had Wrex and Tyrod/EJ and I knew we had no chance. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freddyjj Posted July 6, 2022 Share Posted July 6, 2022 @JÂy RÛßeÒ I have a 55 year working memory of Bills football - was born the day they opened their first training camp! Unlike you, I remain a fearless optimist for their chance this year....and every year!

nosejob Posted July 6, 2022 Share Posted July 6, 2022 (edited) Fan since 73, I get a little inner twinge of jinx when there's this much hype. However, I can take solace and be happy that I likely won't be figuring mathematical equations for getting into the playoffs at Thanksgiving or looking at draft picks in early Dec.
