whatdrought Posted November 5, 2019 Posted November 5, 2019 This year 3 of the 4 major sports championships have been claimed by first time victors: NHL: St. Louis Blues NBA: Toronto Raptors MLB: Washington Nationals In order for that trend to sweep all 4 of the major American team sports, one of the 12 below teams must win SB 54: Bengals Bills Browns Cardinals Chargers Falcons Jaguars Lions Panthers Texans Titans Vikings Of these 12, I would think the Bills have as decent a chance as all except the Texans and Vikings. They are probably more realistic candidates... Also- be on the lookout for the road team in SB 54 as road wins have been big in Championships this year by a whopping ratio of 17-3. Obviously this the NFL is a different setup, but if you’re superstitious, or even a little stitious you might see the dots connecting... maybe this even applies to playoffs, which would be great if we’re gonna be a WC! You now know these asinine facts that you potentially did not before. 1 1 4
machine gun kelly Posted November 5, 2019 Posted November 5, 2019 The Vikings would be nice. They have a long tradition, and went through as much SB loss as we have just not four straight. I always like the idea of a new team winning the SB. 2
ProcessTruster Posted November 5, 2019 Posted November 5, 2019 I love you guys. Last week at this time, its all about how terrible the team is, now it's "hey, we can win the SB"... oye. 5
Bleed Bills Blue Posted November 5, 2019 Posted November 5, 2019 Hear me now and believe me later: If we beat the Cowpukes to go 10-2 on Thanksgiving Day, we will have completed the Giants-Redskins-Cowboys revenge trifecta, and it will then be clear to everyone that the stars have finally aligned and that destiny postponed is not destiny denied.

That just pushes the Bills down the list of NFL teams by decreasing the size of the have-nots.
ChasBB Posted November 5, 2019 Posted November 5, 2019 (edited) Could be the year. Also, New England just handed Buffalo the conference tie-breaker. If Buffalo wins at New England and takes care of other business, the division title is theirs. Edit: EVERY game is winnable when players don't put the ball on the ground.

aristocrat Posted November 5, 2019 Posted November 5, 2019 love seeing new teams win. i still think the super bowl is the saints to lose.
One Buffalo Posted November 5, 2019 Posted November 5, 2019 (edited) The reality is that anything can happen in the playoffs. If we correct mistakes and this team starts to execute in all areas, it is not that far fetched. It's happened many times before where an unexpected team gels together and makes a run that no one saw coming. Not saying we will but... Edited November 5, 2019 by One Buffalo

I think we have the talent, but we haven’t played to our own level yet. It’ll be interesting to see what happens!
Bills!Win! Posted November 5, 2019 Posted November 5, 2019 (edited) Trent Dilfer, Brad Johnson, Matt Hasslebeck, Rex Grossman... all went to Super Bowls in the last 20 years. Why can’t Josh Allen ? He’s easily better than them Edited November 5, 2019 by Bills!Win!

The Bills probably aren’t a Super Bowl team, but they’re quite likely a playoff team, and once you’re in January the rules change. I wouldn’t put any money on anything magical happening, but we’ve seen some crazy ***** over the years.

I'm willing to go to the bank on that.
MJS Posted November 5, 2019 Posted November 5, 2019 Let's just get to the playoffs and start from there. 1
whatdrought Posted November 5, 2019 Author Posted November 5, 2019 (edited) This is more of an aside; and not seeking to drive the “Bills are winning the Super Bowl narrative” but for fun, go look at Eli Manning’s stats for 2007.... it’s kinda spooky how much those stats look like Allen’s this year. Coincidentally, the Giants were 6-2 through the first 9 weeks, finished 10-6 and then went on that January run... *twilight zone theme plays in background* Edited November 5, 2019 by whatdrought
Seasons1992 Posted November 5, 2019 Posted November 5, 2019 I'd choose the Texans as my #1 choice. But as I stare at my Bills SB winning bet from the Bellagio taped to the wall, I sure could use that $1000...... 1
