I was a homer throughout much of the drought.
When the Pegulas bought the team and hired Ryan as HC, I was optimistic. That lasted about two weeks into the regular season, as it only took that long for me to realize I was wrong about Ryan and I hated the Tyrod Taylor acquisition from the day we got him.
That began a 3-year stretch during which I really didn't enjoy watching the Bills play (I never stopped watching, though). Even the wins weren't enjoyable to me and the end of the drought was just a fluke, as far as I was concerned. The playoff loss was nothing short of pathetic.
I did like McDermott from the get go, but I wasn't going to be able to enjoy the games until Tyrod was gone.
The day that bum was traded to Cleveland was one of the happiest moments of my Bills fandom.
That was my turning point.
Then, when we drafted Josh Allen, I was immediately sold on him and I was back to being excited and optimistic. Obviously, I still am.
In summary, I think the ownership change, HC change (McD) and QB change (Josh) are the events that made me feel a lot better about this team.
