     the bills did win 4 championships in the American football conference 

     

    Dude 31 teams don't win the super bowl and only two win their conference that is absolutely something to hang your hat on 

     

    Every Buffalo Bills player should be proud about winning those AFC championships.. despite not bringing home the super bowl that does not make winning the AFC championship any less accomplishment

    Oh yeah, let’s hang the “Almost Champions” banners and throw a parade for second place. Maybe hand out participation rings while we’re at it.

     

    Winning the AFC is nice and all, but history doesn’t carve your name in stone for almost. The goal isn’t to get there — it’s to win there. Four trips, zero finishes. That’s not a legacy, that’s a lesson.

    That doesn't mean everything is a failure and you're a loser if you don't win the championship .. Jim Kelly and biscuit Thurman and Bruce certainly not losers

     

    They did win four straight AFC championships.. 

     

    That's like saying a pennant in baseball is not important.. of course it is an accomplishment

    I never called anyone a loser. 

     

    I'm just stating a fact.

     

    The only time anyone remembers the runner-up in a SuperBowl is when you miss " Wide right" or lose 4 straight. 

     

    We're on the same course with the present regime. 

     

    We have a young, MVP, generational QB that may never sniff a SuperBowl.

     

    Poor game management with our OC. Substandard D schemes based on mediocre talent in key positions and a GM that apparently feels Josh is just fine with average WR's.

     

    This is a multi-billion dollar business where winning is all that counts, in the end, for the fan base.

     

    I've been watching this rerun for 52 years!

     

    But Ok, sure. 

     

    At the SuperBowl trophy ceremony, i suppose there could be another stage for the runner-up and present them with a participation trophy 🤔

    See that's just the wrong mindset.. if you do that nobody sees in a successful in the NFL except the super bowl champion but that's not true 

     

    The bills didn't lose anything 

     

    They won four straight AFC championships.. four straight AFC championships is not losing anything 

    What's the ultimate goal of playing in a professional sport?

    The Bills being the only team to have ever done it.....is it a point of pride for a Bills fan?  Is it an important record even though the Bills lost all 4?

     

    The Chiefs have a chance to tie that record if they were to make it again this season.  

     

    Besides the obvious...if KC makes a 4th in a row, it means the Bills didn't make it this year......but aside from that.....having that record be shared with another team make you mad?  Relieved?  Indifferent?  

    It's never been a point of pride for me. Losing is not an option!

    I really haven't looked it up cuz even when I'm chatting here most of it is all off the top of my head 

     

    But I'm pretty sure Marvin Harrison was drafted  before Peyton Manning and Reggie Wayne was like 01 or 02

     

     Peyton started with Marshall faulk and Marvin Harrison then they traded Faulk.. and got edgeron James was another beast 

     

     so they added Reggie Wayne but he took a really good wide receiver and made him great.. Reggie Wayne is two times the wide receiver Julian Edelman is and he's not in the Hall of Fame

    So, were in agreement then?

    And Sean McDermott has already put together more top 10 defenses than Peyton Manning had  with Tony Dungy and Caldwell.. which resulted in one super bowl

     

    It's a give take

     

    Manning and the colts use most of their salary cap on offense.. Bill belichick and Tom Brady and the Patriots used it mainly on defense in the offensive line and they always won in the postseason

    Yeah, defenses are great… until the QB has no consistent target. Josh Allen deserves a WR1 to match his talent.

    Here’s the thing: despite having the worst receiving corps of his career, he has the second highest quarterback rating of his career this season. It was 103.2 going into today, and his passer rating today was 108.0. They were 4th overall in both points per game and yards per game before today, and I assume they’ve moved upward in both categories after today’s performance. 

    Imagine if he actually had a top-tier receiving corps… the league wouldn’t know what hit it.

    FYI for all my bills brothers and sisters out there Peyton Manning didn't win his first super bowl till he was 30 years old 

     

    Josh Allen is far from done.. I know it's hard to be a Bills fan but just like how losing to the dolphins for a decade was spectacularly crazy and the drought was spectacularly crazy

     

    Our super bowl that the Buffalo Bills win will be extraordinary.. I can see it now our kicker we signed out of coaching high School football is getting his dream of booting that 43 yard field goal down the pipes erasing wide right

    Among Peytons receivers over the years he had:

     

    Marvin Harrison: Manning's top receiver in Indianapolis, holding the most receptions, receiving yards, and touchdowns of any player he played with. 

     

    Reggie Wayne: A consistent and dominant force, ranking second in receptions, yards, and touchdowns with Manning. 

     

    Brandon Stokley: An excellent slot receiver who was a key part of the Colts' passing game, particularly in 2004. 

     

    Dallas Clark: A standout tight end who was a primary target for Manning.

    Here’s the thing: The Times of India is mostly a rag. I sorta regret saying this, but I know of what I’m speaking of because I’m the politics publisher at Princeton University Press and used to have the same position at Oxford UP. In both places, I have published a LOT of books on contemporary India, and I can tell you that the Times of India makes the New York Post read like NPR. It, and most of Indian media, is super clickbait-y. As a consequence, I treat the source as mostly trash.

    Here's the link from her own page.

    Re: Hailee's anxiety having any bearing on Josh.... I really do hate to dismiss other peoples' struggles bc you can't know exactly what another person goes through in this life. But. With that said....
     

    If it's something that can be helped / fixed with 10 minutes of a bit of solitude or a blanket and warm cup of tea.... that's a Hollywood version / privilege-class anxiety.


    ... It's not crying on the floor, wondering howTF you're going to make ends meet, 99 problems and the car broke down is one, mom's been in cancer treatment for two years, the world these days just feels like a complete poop show, insomnia is an old friend, and you don't know what the next step is or whether you even want to take a next step... kind of crippling anxiety. 
     

    A NSFW (language) extraordinary poem, ~3 minutes.

    "My dad says therapy is a rich person's thing -- poor people've got ***** to do!"

     

     

    I get where you’re coming from — real, grinding anxiety is nothing like what gets glamorized on screen. But pain isn’t a competition. Everyone’s threshold and context are different, and what’s small to one person can feel massive to another.
