The Red King Posted November 24, 2022 Share Posted November 24, 2022 Before anything else, yes, Buffalo blew a phenominal chance to win the Super Bowl last season. It cut deep. With that being said, I'm getting real sick of hearing about it, especially on every thread where anything bad happens. "Allen got indigestion from supper.", "Last year was our year." We get it. Last season hurt. And it stings seeing such a promising season floundering. But replies that simply comment "Last year was our year." don't contribute anything. It's no more useful then people who comment "First!" on videos. We got it. You're bitter about how last season ended. We are too, but this is a new season. Move on. 3 1 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heavy Kevi Posted November 25, 2022 Share Posted November 25, 2022 Last year was a good chance. Best chance in a long time. But I'm not quite jaded enough to leave it as "last year was our year". This team will have ups and downs but will be in it (pretty much) every year for a decade. Settle in and they will get to the big game a couple times at least imo. "Our decade" is here and it's time to stop acting like beaten dogs. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B-Large Posted November 25, 2022 Share Posted November 25, 2022 This team will be sniffing around a shot at a ring for 10-12 more seasons. Also, runs go in windows. I think last, this and next season are a window. But with Allen, you’re always in the discussion. i think we win a ring when the Defense grabs the show, not Allen. That’s my gut feeling.

Over 29 years of fanhood Posted November 25, 2022 Share Posted November 25, 2022 It’s total nonsense! The Bills lost to the team, that lost to the team, that lost to the team that won the Super Bowl.

Andy1 Posted November 25, 2022 Share Posted November 25, 2022 If you want to predict the future and be right, just say your team can’t win the super bowl. Obviously, only 1/32 teams win it, so you will be right nearly every year. I think some people just want to be able to say “I told you”. Others just can’t take the pain of losing, so they refuse to believe it is a possibility. Either way is a miserable way to be a Bills fan. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The next time you see the Superbowl, it'll be with another town. The next time you take in a playoff game, it'll be in some other stadium. Our ownership, they want the best of stuff for us. But right now, they got to do what's right for them. Because it's their time. Their time! Up there! Down here, it's our time. It's our time down here.

Dr.Sack Posted November 25, 2022 Share Posted November 25, 2022 Mahomes has blown the last 5 years. 2018 chokes vs Brady. 2019 nearly choked vs 49ers finally won. 2020 choked vs Brady. 2021 choked vs Burrow. Mahomes has blown Tyreek Hill, and now has a tight end near the end Travis Kelce age 33, and a bunch of players who have never done anything in big moments. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TampaBillsJunkie Posted November 25, 2022 Share Posted November 25, 2022 (edited) We have to get fully healthy and peak around playoff time. Allen and Dorsey need to figure out their games. Davis, McKenzie, Cook and Knox need to step it up a notch. The defense needs to get healthy and we need Von for the stretch run. However we get in, we can run the table if we are at full strength. Adding OBJ would be a huge boost right now, but this team can make it if they get over this hump of injuries and have a full roster come January. When Mike Love and Van Rotten are getting crucial snaps, we ain't right. Edited November 25, 2022 by TampaBillsJunkie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
