It's wonderful to be ignored by the NFL Media Machine!

[Stallions]

I love the Bills being ignored.  It’s our little secret about a great overall team and organization. A small TV market location and a team with a history of losing doesn’t grab big NFL headlines.

 

It seems that NFL game day announcers have a script for the Bills that includes looking for imperfections in Josh Allen’s play or the ‘big mistake’.   And, why do I keep hearing that the defense is playing well in a game while our rankings last year and currently tell a much larger story of excellence?

 

Let the Rams, Patriots, Chiefs and Cowboys get all the attention.  We don’t get the big ratings or deserve the glamour team status.  That’s fine with me.

If the Pegulas build a new stadium, the NFL will gift them a Super Bowl. 

 

Offer is on the table.

If the Bills win a playoff game or two, especially against KC or NE, they will be everyone’s “sleeper team” next year.

I noticed this.  Very little attention.  Even at 4-1, having only lost to the Pats by 6...the Bills just aren't seen as a sexy team, so little attention is paid to them.

Not enough hotel rooms to host a SB. Would not happen even if a new facility is built imo.

Buffalo is cold, dead, nothing to do there, no one wants to live there, FA go there to die, lost 4 SB, Music City Forward Lateral, 1 playoff appearance in 20 years, and the Pats have won many SB while dominating the division for years. The media narrative has been built up for about 20 years now.  'm, 'm all, especially now that we're building something legit.

I think Super Bowls are overrated.  I went to one in Minneapolis (a great city!), and it belongs in a warm weather site with more than what Buffalo has to offer. I LOVE Buffalo, but I don’t see it.

It’s already starting. Wait till the Bills win the next three at home. Then everyone will be on the hype train.

It wouldn't be hosted in Buffalo, however, the team would receive an invitation to participate in it.

We aren't being ignored. At 4-1, people are watching.

Yeah, I wonder about that.  Would the league consider the availability of hotel rooms in the surrounding area?  Rochester, Hamilton Ontario, even Toronto?

I used to want Buffalo to host a Super Bowl but the city doesn't have enough shiny toys to tickle the fancy of the corporate crowd.

The Bills have gotten a ton of positive press.  Look at the GMFB threads (multiple).

 

OP's take is stale cliche.  Read more, OP...

[CincyBillsFan]

We're starting to get some chatter.  People are noticing the 4 - 1 start. 

 

My guess is that the national media is hoping the Bills fold.  They know that not having a playoff contender on national TV is a bad look.

No way. Buffalo doesnt have enough hotel space to make it happen...they are short by many thousand rooms.

And, we don't have a STAR or Media grabbing player on the team.  Shady was the media focus for the past few years.

People don't care until it's later in the season. BIlls can only have wins against the Redskins and Dolphins and magically they'll be "really good" at 6-2 (despite really beating the teams they should have beat)

[Stank_Nasty]

Eh. I disagree. The bills havnt been in the media because they havnt won consistently. I’d much rather deserve and garner the hype with consistent winning. I personally enjoy seeing good things in the media said about our team. I take what they say pretty lightly. But it’s nice to see and small part of the fan experience I think. 

 

I actually couldn’t disagree more with this thread.

I was in my hotel room in Nashville last night watching NFLN and it took three rounds of repeated highlights to get to the Bills-Titans game. Those in the know are paying attention, but the team is still a blip on the national media radar.

Except the media talks about the big market teams whether they’re winning or not. There’s definitely a bias toward those teams. No big deal, but it’s there.
