Anyone just sit back and appreciate it?

We went from post-Bengals where fans actually started to take an objective look at this team and own, perhaps even aim to improve, the glaring issues. Time does heal. And now we're right back to the incessant spin, rationalizing, and desperate efforts to minimize moves by other squads. And so it goes.

Whenever I see threads like this it reminds me that most people do not have or want to have a continuous improvement mindset to life.  

 

It also reminds me somewhat of the movie Hoosiers when Myra Fleener says, "I've seen them, the real sad ones.  They sit around the rest of their lives talking about the glory days when they were seventeen years old."

 

It's real nice the Bills were in the playoffs the last 4 seasons...but those days are past.  It's time to look forward, yeah get excited, but demand excellence in next season and beyond.  As much as I remember the 90s Bills, that was 30 years ago.  Heck 2020 was 3 years ago already!

I appreciate what we have, and don't take the past 3-5 year ride for granted at all.

 

I do know from the empty feeling that comes with thinking of the 90s teams... they need to win one with Josh Allen.  

It would literally be a crime if we don’t win a super bowl with Josh Allen. I mean seriously, people need to be arrested. Lol

We’ve won the AFC East 3 years in a row! Not the ultimate goal but it’s a great accomplishment.

 

Take a minute and appreciate it. 

Absolutely. The negativity on here is unbelievable 

We're 3rd favorite to win the SB. Not that it means we will but shows that we have an elite roster still.

 

I swear ppl have PTSD over our only blowout loss last year and forget we were 3 plays from going undefeated

What good is being 3rd favorite? What good does losing the AFC championship game mean? It just means you are 3rd/4th place which means you are the 2nd/3rd loser. If you don’t win the Lombardi, you are a loser. No matter how good someone thinks you are, you lost.

THANK YOU. Been watching since 68! Were we are now is incredible compared to the rest of the history of this franchise. A QB going into his prime on a HOF path, one of the acknowledged best HC/GM combos, and a great owner willing to do whatever it takes. Have we accomplished the goal. No but for God's sake some of these posts are absolutely ridiculous.  I'm enjoying this, hasn't been so much fun since the Kelly days. Please take a breath, get some perspective and ENJOY this!!

Yea and every year there'll be 31 losers. I'm just saying,  we are an elite team that definitely has the POTENTIAL to win it all. 

 

You can't say that about majority of teams and we couldn't say that from 2000-2020. Enjoy the ride

totally, football is just entertainment anyway. People seem to have forgotten that we were approximately 7-9 for 20 years lol.  Winning is fun, and having our team in the playoffs every year is also fun. A Super Bowl would be even more fun…but yeahhhhh.

Right? How is that not a "swing for the fences"...

 

  Original poster asked for a òffensive upgrade so Von Miller was a addition for the defense that was needed but didn't address the address the lack of weapons Josh has or ol that can give him more time to let plays develop.

No, Super Bowl windows open and close all the time. I think people may be worried that this current era's (The Allen and Diggs, or rather the team of the last 3 years) window may be closing. With Allen at the helm, there will always be a Super Bowl window, I think people really loved this team of the last 3 years, they were just so damn talented only to have the rug pulled out from underneath them in the playoffs by the coaching staff, and want to see everyone get a ring.

Even when/if the Bills win the Super Bowl.. The same dudes are gonna be on here in every thread about they would have won it sooner had Beane and Mcdermott listened to them, or they got lucky, etc etc. They can’t be content with just 1.. 

Some people just love misery and the attention they get.

I've changed a lot with advancing age.  I'm very much appreciating it.

 

It's a way overused metaphor, but I've finally found myself understanding and appreciating that it's about the journey more than the destination.   The journey, the whole journey, has been long and not without pain, but it's had some incredible highs.  The current stretch of the journey has been full of joy.   It's really great.   

 

None of that means that I don't care about reaching the destination.  What it means is that I'm not tormented day to day, thinking about all the ways we haven't reached the destination yet.   It doesn't matter.   I don't waste any energy criticizing Beane for what he might have done three years ago or two years ago.  I don't care about Wyatt Teller.   It's all just history.   Where we are today, March 16, is in a good place with a lot of great possibilities ahead of us, and I appreciate that.
