Bullspit.

We're a bunch of guys sitting around on our couches and we don't "deserve" anything.

Thinking you deserve something for doing nothing is just a spoiled sense of entitlement.

 

 

It’s called valuing yourself.

   What makes the NFL run?

   Fans

   Who’s paying for that new stadium?

    Taxpayers ( some fans and some not)

    No Fans, no ticket sales, no ad revenue, no business model.

   Heck, people are now paying for the privilege to buy tickets?!? PSLs

   We are the consumers and customers and we ABSOLUTELY deserve a good product.

You choose to do those things of your own accord.

Fate is not in your debt and it owes you nothing.

This topic has devolved.  Anyone is entitled to their opinions.  I don’t disagree with Cosell, but the comments on injuries etc. is the case for a number of teams in the NFL.  Look what happened in SF, Detroit, Baltimore, etc.

 

Tomorrow, let’s hope they can piece it together with each week a more expanded role for Cooks, and hopefully Palmer can go.  Otherwise we rely on the RB’s in the passing game and the TEs.

 

We can only hope we get good news on Bosa.  Oliver’s gone until the playoffs.  Benford will sting so maybe we get lucky.

Kind of a crappy take imho.   Glad coach Levy disagrees with you.

Infinity Sports Network’s David Shepard had the privilege of interviewing Levy, and asked him what a Super Bowl title would mean to him and the fan base. In typical Levy fashion, the legendary coach said it was all about the fan base for him.

”What it would mean to me is the fan base. The Buffalo Bills fans deserve to have that kind of moment.”

 

or from Shady McCoy..

“That’s the thing, I want the Bills fans to get to the Super Bowl just because they’re so passionate, and they’re the best,” McCoy said. “They always ask me to compare them to Eagles fans, because Eagles fans are wild, too, but the Bills fans are like, no matter what the team is doing, bad or good, they’re going to support, right? And they love their Bills. I remember my first Thursday night game in Buffalo, there were so many RVs and trucks, they were there Monday. I would love for them, there would be so many broken tables that whole week. They deserve it, man. They’ve been through a lot.”

What are you talking about?  Faith is rooted in conviction without proof of something.  It doesn’t need to be rooted in any demonstrated past practice.

Yeah I think the poster your responding to uses the word faith where I would use trust. Faith, to me, is belief without proof. Blind faith being belief without even any evidence. 

[TheFunPolice]

Media people will be whimpering "but they're not a good team!" Through their tears while the confetti falls in the Super Bowl and the ring count is Mahomes 3, Allen 1

 

And obviously the Bills will build the team for a run at #2

And that applies to a large extent to 32 fanbases. There is no reason one has any more right to it than another.

Sadly, the people in this board don't want to hear this. This kind of view point despite being valid will be viewed as you aren't a true fan and you are a troll.

Teams with First ballot hall of Fame QBs are not the same as teams without.

Teams with Rabidly Faithful fans are not the same as those with chronically under filled stadiums.

 The Bills’ fanbase has its own moniker-Bills Mafia. We ARE a breed apart! Heck, I even know of fans from other countries and continents who have adopted this team as their own.

There are other good fan bases out there but we are right up there at the top. 
The teams that build right and have the right coaches absolutely deserve it more.

Agreed with all points. 
 

Who is accountable and will that accountability ever come?

[BananaB]

I think he’s spot on but his comments couldn’t come at a more perfect time. Fuel for the fire heading into an important game.

Here's the other issue: the best roster doesn't always win. 

 

There's bounces, bad calls, 50/50 plays that in a single elimination tournament can swing the whole thing.

 

Plus we've got homemade pizza nights, bippity bippity bop, Hallmark movies, new stadium, now babies...

 

Yeah, it's a wrap NFL. Most will be happy for us though this first time anyway. The other SBs we'll have become annoying but whatever!

The best roster doesn't always win. The ones with the most elite playnakers do for the most part. A team with a top QB an elite RB and an average defense rarely wins

Running backs count as playmakers broski 

 

X + y doesn't always equal z 

 

Three great wide receivers with a mediocre offensive line is not better than a great offensive line with a stud running back and three mediocre receivers 

 

Option A is not better than option b

I'm talking about playnakers on both sides of the ball BUD. The Bills don't have it on defense.

Many teams have worse injury situations than us.  This horse has been beat down to atoms.  10 years from now if Josh doesn't have a ring people like you will say injuries when it's just being deathly afraid of change.  

 

Hi.  So which of the teams that are actually contending for a playoff spot have a worse injury situation than the Bills?

Let's make it simple and stick to the AFC.

 

Thanks.  And you can' skip the ad hominems and projection 'K?

Just listened to Greg Cossell in the Colin Cowherd show. He was asked about what he thought about the Bills. I think this guy really knows his football.

 

Here's what he basically said. Not a great listen as a Bills fan. They aren't one of the most talented teams in the league, they aren't that good overall from a talent perspective, they lack  play makers on both sides of the ball, very poor WR core and Kalir is more of a WR3, , have to scheme up offense, and rely on Josh being Superman which is hard to be sustainable and win like that. 

 

I know it's just one guys opinion but this guy really knows his football. Doesn't mean the Bills can't win it all. Nevertheless, this was pretty eye opening and deflating. What do you think? 

I think we already could see this
