Billsfan1972 Posted September 15, 2022 Share Posted September 15, 2022 (edited) 20-0 and Josh will be MVP..... Yes I am a fan of The Ringer and their podcasts. Bill Simmons has listened to Bill's Mafia, your emails and texts and I guess the Bills are going undefeated. Of course he is tongue in cheek and yes she is smarting over the Patriots Week 1 performance. He actually is ready for a down year. And nothing will bother more than probably a Bills Super Bowl.... 😜 I will say The Ringer is consistently the best Sports & Pop Culture content on the net. Yes I know it is not all Bills all the time, but they do have plenty and Bill slowly is warming up to them.....🤣 Edited September 15, 2022 by Billsfan1972 4 1 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should get a room with Klos. I'm as big a fan as anyone here. However yes it is funny how Bills fans react to national media if they are at all negative (btw Bill gets the same from Portland Soccer Moms as he calls them). I listen to him a lot and the Ringer writers have many very positive Bills articles, but Bill (with his Patriots love) is a little slow to jump on the bandwagon or anoint Allen, so often he comes up with scenarios to downplay them. He was going on about the Bills 11-6 record last year forgetting the losses were all fluky in one respect or another. When the Pats won in the hurricane he thought the Bills would be broken and then needless to say he is smarting from the last two Pats-Bills games. Obviously to make the statement he did in the thread is a result of all the Bills fans piling on him. And yes it is the best site there is for Sports and Pop Culture.

Yup…there are some fans of all teams that react this way to negative media.

C.Biscuit97 Posted September 16, 2022 Share Posted September 16, 2022 (edited) I love Simmons even though he is the biggest homer on the planet (he was saying the Pats would win the SB last year 😃). But to be honest, so bills fans are acting like we won multiple SBs already and are very aggressive on social media. Personally, I don’t care what anyone says or thinks.

With prime Henry and AJ Brown, this would be a very dangerous game and tough matchup for us. But they aren’t the same Titans as last year. Bills by a billion.

Success Posted September 21, 2022 Share Posted September 21, 2022 I'm a Simmons fan & listen to a lot of his pods (he was a GREAT writer, but almost never does that anymore). He's a pretty classic Boston homer. His opinions were more fun when Boston teams were scrappy underdogs and not winning much. Now, they can be a bit condescending. But he's giving the Bills some props lately. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's well aware of how spoiled he's become as a Pats fan and will have fun because of it.

We know it’s a long season, anything can happen but we’ve got a good opportunity to be there. That’s it Count me in the “underwhelming minority.” I will be surprised if the Bills don’t win the Super Bowl. I believe that they might be historically dominant (like the ‘07 Pats but with a title). That team had a +315 point differential which is by far the best ever. That is attainable. I believe we are WAY beyond “in the hunt” for the Super Bowl. I believe that he Bills would be AT LEAST A 7-point favorite on a neutral site vs. every team in football. They are significantly better than every other team. If they don’t win, it will be a disappointment. It’s okay to feel this way. We don’t need to pretend that isn’t the case to protect our feelings if the goal isn’t met.
