When the Sabres made the Stanley Cup finals, I remember Tim Russert, legendary national talk show host, say......."If the Sabres win the cup, senior citizen homes in buffalo will empty out because now they can die in peace." I don't remember the exact quote, but I think that's close. A bit insensitive, but fair. I know a lot of folks have passed away just wanting one championship. My brother included. 

 

I had to go pick up groceries after the game today.  I found myself alone which is unusual for a guy with a family of 8.   I thought about being a Bills fan.  I am a 42 close to 43 year old guy.   I figure I have somewhere between 25 to 40 years to go based on genetics.    Basically I came to the conclusion if they dont win one with Josh its highly likely they wont in my lifetime.   They've been a team longer than I've been alive, they will be a team after I die.   Part of me wishes I raised my boys to hate fooball.

We are not going to Foxboro and winning there, not this year. The Pats have 2 weeks to prepare for that game and they are finally winning and want to rub our noses in it. The division is theirs unless Maye gets hurt. Diggs and Mack will be even more pumped than the game earlier this season.

 

We absolutely are going to Foxboro and winning there. This Pats team is not a complete product yet. The Bills seems to play their best against the better teams. Especially when they have a chip on their shoulders and fans/media are starting to count them out.

 

Now the problem is i think they will lose at Houston and Pittsburgh….and probably vs Philly. So this Bucs game is big.

We'll probably win. 

 

The Bucs really aren't that good, and we'll be at home, coming off a brutal loss.  We're not as bad as we showed today.

 

It will be fool's gold that will get us somewhat excited again.  

If Bucky Irving comes back for our game, we probably won’t win

He reportedly had a badly sprained foot/ankle and a partial shoulder dislocation. If he is cleared to come back he will be far from 100% in my amateur opinion.  But probably well enough to juke the Bills out of their cleats. sadly.

The Pats are playing the best football in the AFC,  if not the NFL. They have won 7 straight.

He hasn't practiced in 6 weeks, I hope he doesn't practice for a 7th

Not one 1st round WR drafted since Allen got here. ***** mind boggling!

But how many 1st rounders on defense? All to feed McDs ego!! And where are we at defensively?!? Soft shell crap! Always injured because our scheme calls for light weight players like CBs and linebackers barely bigger than CBs to make tackles all game! Absolutely done with this same crap year in year out!! Give me a new head coach I’m done!!

I think it’s TS safe to say our days among the leagues elite are over. We had a decent run. But the bad contracts and late/missed draft picks have caught up to us. I personally think believing that Josh was ssooo good that we could plug anyone in at reciever and we could make it work was the biggest mistake.

It’s disappointing man… I felt like I got super kicked in the stomach throughout this entire game.  We just have to take it week-by-week.

Yeah, my confidence in the Bills Super Bowl chances took a serious hit today.......but there is still a long way to go......they just need to get hot at the right time.

 

I don't think anyone should be giving up on the season just yet.......

And Traveon Henderson suddenly looks like their Devon Achane.  I don’t see them finishing worse than 13-4.

I said a few weeks ago, the AFCE runs through NE. 
 

The AFC runs through NE now.

I'm with you here and I don't know whether to be happy or sad.  In 2 of the last 5 seasons the Bills faced worse odds at winning their division at this point in the season then they do now. And in both cases McD rallied the team and they went on win streaks won the division and at least one playoff game.  It would not shock me in the least of they did it again.

 

But that's where I'm not sure whether to be happy or sad.  Here we go again with another season where we thought we had a good chance to lock up the #1 seed and have a straight road to the SB. Then they stumble and suddenly just winning the division or even making the playoffs is put at risk. The psychology here is compelling: facing the very real possibility of missing the playoffs we rejoice when they turn it around and win the division. The season is now a success because we avoided a disastrous failure.  I fell for this both times in the past.  I suspect I'll fall for it hook, line & sinker again this season if it plays out this way.

How sick would it make you to see Drake Maye or even Daniel Jones in the Super Bowl.  Just skip over any gut wrenching playoff losses, pass the Bills and Allen and go straight to a Super Bowl.

That seems like a realistic possibility with Maye and the Pats.

It's unimaginable - but of course could happen.

 

I'd have to believe at that point that they created football to make me miserable.

I said in another comment that this happening would genuinely have deep repercussions for the Bills. I think it would destroy everyone on the current roster and we’d absolutely have to replace the coach and front office. 

 

Basically an extinction level event.

It really is a super tough league... Crazy stuff happens... The Bills have had tremendously bad injury luck especially on Defense dating back to 2023 now...

All that being said... McBeane had plenty of chances to get this thing to a SB with Josh and not only have they come up empty, it's now looking like they are falling behind. I think if you want to really narrow it down, and ignoring the 2025 Draft...the Elam pick...giving up two 4th round picks to move up a total of four spots for Kincaid and Elam...the Coleman pick and the DeWayne Carter pick have just killed the upside possibilities of this roster. That's a 1st, a 2nd, a 3rd, and two 4th's in three Drafts you are getting little to absolutely nothing from...And it's not like Dorian Williams, another 3rd, is lighting the world on fire either...

As recent as a month ago my 6 year old said he doesnt like football (says its boring). Part of me wanted to convince him to give it a watch. I ended up just saying "you like what you like". I hope he stays away from fandom. Or at least lucks into being a fan of a team that can win a SB.
