Since 2020 - highest scoring offense and fewest points allowed defense

[BillsFan619]

Just shows how good we’ve had it the past half decade.

Man, I hope we can turn this success into a Super Bowl title. Even if it’s just one!

 

We’ve been dominant though and we’re very fortunate to have this run as fans.

 

Go Bills!

Pretty stat, but doesn’t mean much when that team from Mizzou has owned us and been to 5 SBs in less than a decade.

Our D always tends to pull really good stats,......during the regular season.

Ground rules the OP forgot. 

 

-Nobody in this thread can respond without issuing the word "playoffs."

-No snarky comments about how we're regular season champions.

CRAZY this team hasn’t even been to a SB yet

I get it, we all want a SB title. I even mentioned that I hope this success leads to at least one title.

 

But, why does every good thing they do get negated with “doesn’t mean much, no title”. 

With the examples I’m about to list, please know I’m not saying you’ve said all of these, I’m just giving examples:

-Five straight AFCE titles - “Yeah, but, no titles”

-McD best winning percentage coach in Bills history - “Doesn’t mean much”

-JA NFL MVP - “Yeah, but no ring”

-Highest scoring offense and fewest points allowed defense over five years - “Doesn’t mean anything”

 

I want a title just as much as the next Bills fan, but it doesn’t mean there’s been no good things that have happened and that this team hasn’t had a great run. There’s still things to celebrate.

If everything is based on a title no sports franchise is successful because everyone has way more years without titles than they do with titles.

 

We all want a title, but it’s still been a great five years for the Bills and our fan base.

 

Go Bills!

Good one, Doc. Thanks for laying down the ground rules! 😃🤣

The Lombardi trophy is everything.  Talking about regular season stats, pro bowls, mvps, and hall of fame is for fans of franchises that never get it done when it matters.

[Coach Tuesday]

Is this regular season only?

[unbillievable]

The only stat that matters:   how much is the team paying the ref?

During the playoffs as well until facing KC. And I guess that one time against the Bengals.

No, it’s for fanbases that can appreciate when their team accomplishes something good/great, title or not.

My college basketball team has won five NCAA Championships. There’s still other good/great things they’ve done to appreciate besides the titles.

 

That said, like I mentioned upthread, I do hope all this success does lead to a title. We all want that.

 

Go Bills!

Wow I would give my left nut just to have one season end with the Buffalo Bills as Super Bowl Champions. I'd be fully content that it never happens again. Just one before before I die

For everyone who says this doesn't matter without a Lombardi, imagine a different scenario.  Imagine we were last in scoring and last in point allowed.  Picture that level of misery.  

 

I agree, the job isn't done until we get a trophy.  But to be #1 in both those categories means folks at OBD are doing something right.  Bean, McD, Josh, and company have made us relevant, given us a chance, and created some good memories.

You're claiming that fans of Green Bay, New England, and Kansas City never talk about regular season stats, pro bowls, mvps, and hall of fame? They don't care about those things even a little bit?

Stats are fun.

Because everything else is meaningless without a title. That’s the nature of team sports.

I guess we’ll have to agree to disagree.

 

While a title is the ultimate goal, it doesn’t mean that fans can’t appreciate when their team or an individual on the team do good/great things.

 

Like I mentioned upthread, my college basketball team has won five NCAA Championships. There’s still other good/great things they’ve done (team or individual) to appreciate besides the titles.

 

While I hope our continued success leads us to a title, this has been a great half decade of Bills football in many ways. And hopefully it’ll turn into a great decade of Bills football, along with a title.

 

Go Bills!

This is simply not true.

I'd prefer to keep both but I know how the mind of most die hard fans works.  I'll pry soak it in until about an half hour after Josh/McD raised the Lombardi and then start thinking about possible comp picks.

619, thank you for sharing and these accomplishments do matter.  These arguments that everything is meaningless without a title is silly.  Sure, the OP even states he wants a title like the rest of us.  I guess some have such a lack of gratitude for what we have done, they magically forget 17 years of languishing in misery.  Also the mid 80’s where we were winning 2-3 games a season.  I’m 57 amd I remember all of the agony and humiliation of admitting to people from other areas being a Bills fan.

 

I pray during football season each morning along with prayers for my family and dear friends that we finally win the big one.  I pray, but understand those who choose not to do so as that is their prerogative.

 

Go Bills!
