Now, yes I acknowledge from the outset this is not a popularity contest and nobody wants to be "lovable losers." That said, I don't think we are "lovable losers" and I don't think we are getting "pity" (although there are traces of both of those).
Bottom line, every single time I here ANY media personality talk about the Bills now, they LOVE us. No kidding. Mike and Mike, they love us. Shlereth...loves us. Cowherd, loves us. Analysts on NFL Live, they all love us.
Just this mourning listening to ESPN radio while in the car...all I hear is love. Not ONE person on the station today picked the Bears. Not one...(not sure if that's a good thing btw...).
Hell...literally 10 minutes ago Cowherd and Schlereth were doing the "nobody circles the wagons" chant. Cowherd cited the way our team plays hard and called Gaiely "unfireable." Mike and Mike heavy with the praise, "The Bills will not go 0-16, in fact they will win quite a few games this year."
People have noticed the way we play. The way our team has, instead of falling apart, insulated itself and continued to get better and play HARDER each week.
So yeah, not much of a point in here other than to say that, every single thing I hear about the Bills now is overwhelmingly positive. Have you all noticed this? What do you think? Post various thoughts you hear media guys say about the Bills when you hear them in here, I'm telling you right now...we are "media darlings" right now. It's insane. I love it.
