All five hosts of the NFL GameDay preview show just picked the Bills to win the Super Bowl.  All five.

 

They must be unaware of the issue with boundary receiver depth.

 

 

I thought it was the issue with OL depth.

I try and talking myself into thinking that Those are Vons words….and not some marketing interns.  Sigh.  Either way, the message resonates.   Well done

I can help you… interns had to go back to school, summer is over. It must therefore be Vons own words and thoughts..

I’ve loved reveling in the bills hype machine this offseason. But I gotta admit, as a fan that’s watched the league for as long as I have now, this is getting a bit out of hand. Totally believe in the Bills as a favorite. but overwhelming so? I’ll straight up admit that if this was any other team getting this sort of treatment having never even won the conference I would be dumbfounded by it. 
 

Although I do think I remember everyone, including myself, being all in on the Chiefs after their heartbreaking loss in 18 to Brady. So I dunno….. just gonna try and enjoy the ride. And not get to frustrated when the media turns on them with the quickness at any stumble.

Wait, looking @ their NFC picks. Irving took the Cowboys, Mariucci took San Fran, & Warner the Rams... What a bunch of homers!

Irvin picked us to beat his Cowboys… I think that’s a sign of the apocalypse…

Or an actual Bills marketing specialist (doesn’t need to be an intern)

It’s easy to forget the Bills are a multi Billion organization. Sometimes, most of the time, they don’t act it—but the slicker polished org shows up sometimes.

All this pre-season hype will likely cause the reaction to the outcome to be way out of proportion. If the Bills do go all the way, all these media types will froth at the mouth ("Team of destiny!" "Best QB of all time!") If the Bills lose, even in a close playoff game, the combination of egg-on-face and schadenfreude will create a disproportionate negative reaction ("Frauds!" "Overrated!"). In fact, the whole season could be a roller coaster ride because of this hyped-up consensus. People love being proved right, but they love even more seeing a giant fall. Unless it's their giant :(

I think right now, the fans and media are genuinely excited for Allen and the Bills. Allen showed the NFL world he was for real against the Chiefs and everyone was secretly upset we lost. Allen coming back and winning that game is a more heroic story than 13 second heartbreak. Mahomes hitting a couple quick 1st downs to Kelce and Hill is something America had seen too often. "A Star is Born" was a better story. America wasn't pissed about the coin toss because "Allen didn't get another chance", it was because America wanted him to win! Everyone loves the underdog, especially an incredible one like Allen. Reread game threads from around the league that day, the moment everyone decided it was the greatest game they ever saw was when Allen hit Davis with 13 seconds left. Everything that happened after was just goofiness and confusion. It was ticky tack football. Allen willing the Bills to 2 game winning drives against the evil empire on the road in front of the country was the type of stuff everyone grew up loving sports for. 

 

Look at our roster and our QB. We genuinely have the best team. We deserve this and even if we "choke" and backpedal into the playoffs at 10-7, it's good for the Bills brand to be seen in this light instead of "mediocre" and "overlooked". Allen is #1 in NFL jersey sales currently. 

 

The country WANTS a "Bills Mafia wins a SB" story. They want a superman QB in the NFL. Sports was best when it was all about folk heroes. Babe Ruth, Wilt Chamberlain, Jim Brown, Maurice Richard, Bo Jackson, etc. Tom Brady is BORING. Everyone knows it, that's why they have to constantly shove "GOAT" in our face every time they say his name. I've watched more of his games than the average casual fan since I'm in Buffalo and he was never exciting unless Moss or Gronk were catching his balls. 

 

Some media types love to "tear down", especially in places like New York, but I believe we're still in the honeymoon phase with the media and USA public. The media "tear down" will truly begin AFTER we win a SB. Anything before that is peanuts. Watch the Chiefs this year to see what a "tear down" is going to look like.

When is Tre White supposed to be able to play? I thought he'd be good to go for Week 1, but I see he is not listed as a starting CB.

 

Anyone?

 

 

Pup list. Out until week 5.

 

Dont know if you were being serious or not but there's the answer.

Thanks! Yes, I was serious.  I've been busy this summer and haven't followed a lot of Bills info for a few months now.

 

I finally did see all the pre-season games though, tape delayed, on the DVR when I could find time.

 

That sucks that Tre is out that long.  I hope he is truly 100% in Week 5.

The Kool aid is just flowing uncontrollably. I'm so uncomfortable in this spot as a fan. We usually blow this stuff. 

Right there with ya.  As long as Josh is healthy though, we will always have a chance to go all the way.

@ToGoGo… we deserve absolutely nothing.  The team has to go out and take it, and put the league on notice.

 

The fans do deserve it.  We've supported this team through (not much) thick and (a whole lot of) thin.  Nothing we do impacts what happens on the field, but Bills Mafia does indeed deserve a championship.  It doesn't mean we'll get one, but that's beside the point.

Is that not what we've been doing since 2019?

 

If you want an example of team that has done nothing to deserve the hype, point at the Cowboys and Browns. We've done everything to deserve this. We just have one last thing to do.

Everyone and their mothers are picking the Bills to win the Superbowl. Kind of annoying to be honest.

It's more the kinds of people who are picking us - idiots who get everything wrong. When Stephen A Smith picks you to win the SB you know you're not even getting past the WC round. 

 

Hopefully Skip Bayless insists the Bills are overrated to balance it out a bit

I am surprised Irvin picked the Bills over the Cowboys in the SB. Everything with him is Cowboys this and Cowboys that every year.

He's definitely trying to jinx us. Someone sacrifice a bucket of KFC to Jobu so we can offset all these bad vibes
