Dr. Fong Posted May 23, 2010 Posted May 23, 2010 With the exception of a little blip during the Flutie era the last time the Bills were a contending team was before the Internet was widespread. Kinda blows my mind a little bit.
Jim in Anchorage Posted May 23, 2010 Posted May 23, 2010 With the exception of a little blip during the Flutie era the last time the Bills were a contending team was before the Internet was widespread. Kinda blows my mind a little bit. And before that, except some false excitement in the ground Chuck era, the last real contenders played before the Vietnam war escalated. I know what you mean- I wanted to referance the Bills first SB in the NHL thread, and almost wrote 2001 instead of 1991. 20 years? No way.
BuffaloBill Posted May 23, 2010 Posted May 23, 2010 The sad reality is that we are still at least a year away from being on solid ground. If a true QB does not emerge this season it will be even longer.

Kinda blows my mind a little bit. Sad, isn't it? Personally, I've used the championship futility of the Bills and Sabres to realize that glory can't be achieved vicariously. During this most recently failure of a Bills season, I said to myself "why drive myself crazy over something I can't control, when I can achieve physical triumph on my own?" I'm aiming to complete a half-marathon in 2011 and a marathon in 2012, and I know those feelings will be 10 times greater than a Superbowl win (which will be spectacular in its own right).

If a true QB does not emerge this season it will be even longer. Baltimore won the SB with Dilfer, hardly a marquis QB. They made it to the playoffs in 2008 with Flacco, who had a 60% completion ratio and threw 14 TD's to 12 Int's, also hardly a stellar QB performance. True, Baltimore's strength was their defense, but it shows a team can at least get into the playoffs without Brady/Manning/Brees.
