McBean Posted November 5, 2019 Posted November 5, 2019 Show me the baby. This team doesn’t deserve the recognition until they prove other wise. Go crush the Browns this week and knock off the Patriots to win the AFC East. So far, they’ve won games against bad teams and struggled to do it.
Ethan in Cleveland Posted November 5, 2019 Posted November 5, 2019 Bills had there chance for media love. Josh Allen and Buffalo was front and center on NFL.com and NFL commercial heading into Eagles game. They crapped the bed. Media won't bother with the Bills until Cowboys and Ravens games. And the Bills will not be the main story in those games even if they win the next three.
BuffaloBaumer Posted November 5, 2019 Posted November 5, 2019 The defense is not nearly as good as people had thought weeks ago and the offense is in the dark ages. Have Allen win a game when the defense does not show up and then we can talk. This team needs a lot more pieces to play with the big boys. You want press? Take down the Cowboys on Thanksgiving and you will get more than you could have ever wanted.
PromoTheRobot Posted November 5, 2019 Posted November 5, 2019 Why wouldn't the national press overlook the Bills? Our local media isn't sold on the team either. Just tune out the noise and get the job done.
Troll Toll Posted November 5, 2019 Posted November 5, 2019 If we had beaten the Patriots we would be getting more buzz. This happens to other playoff teams every year, even teams that beat other good teams. IMO the 49ers still aren’t getting that much attention.

That said, I swear people will complain to complain. Wasn’t long ago we couldn’t win games. Now we’re winning and we still B word. I could just see us winning every game from here to a Super Bowl victory by one point and people would be saying “yes, we finally won a championship after all this time but I don’t think I can celebrate because there weren’t enough style points to the wins”. When the Red Sox broke the curse, did the fans care how many points they won the games by? Holy *****. The questioned posed was about media attention. My answer, if that’s what you’re referencing in your little tizzy here, was in response to that. We are boring and lack flow on offense. We also have no big names on that side of the ball. If Allen was slinging 350 and 4 TDs, or we were hanging 40 burgers on the regular , we’d ALL be hearing more about it.

I worked at Wegmans for almost 10 years from my teens to my twenties. One valuable lesson it taught me about negativity is that some people are just having a bad day, but other people are just hardwired for pissing and moaning, no matter what. 2
Augie Posted November 5, 2019 Posted November 5, 2019 Well, the national media is talking about us NOW! They have to, we’re playing the Browns and they never STOP talking about the Browns. I prefer OUR role in that conversation (though the Browns and their run game concern me....at least we are not the circus turned tire fire in Cleveland!).

KD in CA Posted November 6, 2019 Posted November 6, 2019 I hope no one is expecting this to change this week. Sunday is the last stand for all those who crammed onto the Browns bandwagon before the season. If the Bills lose it gives that crowd new life and validates the ‘Bills are pretenders’ narrative. Come on Bills!
kbarrettb Posted November 6, 2019 Posted November 6, 2019 The second this team beats someone who’s good they’ll get recognition as of now. They’re beating teams they should beat and losing to teams that are .500 or better.

We haven’t made anyone believe we can beat a competent team. Haven't read all the posts, but in the RADIO.COM NFL Power Rankings the Bills are 15th, which puts them behind even the Panthers.
SydneyBillsFan Posted November 7, 2019 Posted November 7, 2019 Not sure why anybody would be bothered by this. We have not beaten any team with a winning pedigree. Besides, I prefer Superbowl by stealth. 1

But those are put together by national outlets. Bills are what? 6,7,8 in just about every one of them? That’s credit. Yes, I am sure we would all love a glowing, long-form profile in SI or ESPN of Jordan Phillips or Micah Hyde. Won’t happen until the team does damage in the playoffs (or perhaps earlier, if they can sneak the division away from NE.)

Buffaloed in Pa Posted November 7, 2019 Posted November 7, 2019 They havent beaten anyone that is a above average team.

When your in the last 4 out of 5 superbowls and have been in every afccg since 2011. You tend to get the benefit of doubt. 1
