SoCal Deek Posted July 26, 2018 Posted July 26, 2018 Get clobbered by the Patriots...rinse and repeat!
Cheektowaga Chad Posted July 26, 2018 Posted July 26, 2018 If the bills start 5-2 there will be a lot of talk about mcbeane being the next great gm coach combo
Troll Toll Posted July 26, 2018 Posted July 26, 2018 (edited) In reality, the talk will just shift from “haven’t made the playoffs since...” to “haven’t won a playoff game since...” Edited July 26, 2018 by Troll Toll
Fadingpain Posted July 26, 2018 Posted July 26, 2018 To the OP: get some professional help regarding your Buffalophobia. Not everyone on the planet is out to get all things Buffalo-related. Try and relax.

Not everyone on the planet is out to get all things Buffalo-related. Try and relax. Um...what? ? Thanks all, this is what I was curious about, opinion-wise. There is a tendency to give teams that were good the benefit of the doubt and a bit of a pass because they've been good. And, equally, we're prone to knock teams that were bad even when showing improvement. There is a part of our mind that expects a team to "fall back to form". I think we're seeing that even now when several outlets predict the Bills, a 9-7 playoff team last season, will only win 2-4 games. The idea being...they'll resume sucking because they're the Bills, and the Bills suck.
Cripple Creek Posted July 26, 2018 Posted July 26, 2018 3 hours ago, The Red King said: It just occurred to me. If the Bills somehow come out of the gate on fire, for example 5-2, what will the news stories be? The Bills have jumped out to big starts in the past, but the drought has always dominated the headlines..."Will the Bills Make the Playoffs?", "Will the Bills End the Drought?". Well...the drought is over. So I'm more wondering how the media would handle a Bills team coming off a 9-7 playoff year roaring to an early start in 2018. Would they see a team that was good last season continuing the trend and talk about the improvements? Or would they be mired in memories of the drought waiting, like some fans even, for the other shoe to drop...refusing to give them credit because, well, they're the Bills! In the beginning it was easy to hand wave away some of the bad things happening to the Bills because hey, Super Bowls! I think we might see the flip side of that now, hand waving away Bills improvements and accomplishments because hey, drought! All depends on who the QB is.

They will probably include tired references to "Bills Mafia" and "Not had a Quarterback since Jim Kelly" and then the media will move back to talking about the Giants, the Patriots, the Packers and the Cowboys and normal service will be resumed. Perfect answer!

The kid needs time to adjust to the pro game -really. If one of the other QB’s can pull this off, it bodes well for the future as we’ll know we have a competent Back up when Josh does take the reins.
Chandler#81 Posted July 27, 2018 Posted July 27, 2018 What will be said? That’s easy. Balt, SD, Minn, GB, Hou & Tenn are all overrated and have serious issues.
MikeSpeed Posted July 27, 2018 Posted July 27, 2018 They will say... "What the heck is wrong with (INSERT TEAM NAME THAT LOST TO US) ?"
mrags Posted July 27, 2018 Posted July 27, 2018 Mike Schoop will lead all the other idiots at wgr off a cliff. Because they all think they will be a 4 win team, just like they thought last year. Then of course, when they made the playoffs they were jumping on the bandwagon quicker than a hooker drops her panties.
