ngbills Posted September 2, 2020 Posted September 2, 2020 Bills win the Super Bowl in a season impacted by COVID. We have players opting out, no fans, no preseason, and who knows what else is in store for the season. If the Bills win it all this year will it be a let down? Years of waiting and they win a odd year that will always have an * by it.
NoHuddleKelly12 Posted September 2, 2020 Posted September 2, 2020 Every other team will be playing the year with the exact same *. Same rules, same challenges, same lack of true home field advantages. From this background rubble of heretofore unimagined obstacles a champion will emerge, and that team will have overcome a wider array of challenges on their march to a championship, than any other previous winner—wouldn’t a SB be worth more this year? 11 2
DrDawkinstein Posted September 2, 2020 Posted September 2, 2020 I have never heard anyone mention caveats and disclaimers when talking about the Washington Super Bowl victory of 1987. I'm sure they did in the couple of years following, but everyone quickly moved on and it is viewed as any other Super Bowl. I'd imagine the same will happen for the 2020 season. It still counts, and I'll happily take it. 7

I agree with you! When history looks back at this trying time in the world I bet the Superbowl winner will be looked at as inspiring. I would love that to be our Bills! 3 1
TroutDog Posted September 2, 2020 Posted September 2, 2020 Absolutely not. As stated succinctly above, all teams are playing in the same pandemic. The champion is the champion. 3
maddenboy Posted September 2, 2020 Posted September 2, 2020 I voted "no" But I do think there must be 2 things for it to feel legit: 1) actual playoffs and superbowl, not just best record wins 2) at least 8-10 regular season games to determine playoff qualifiers. 3
SoTier Posted September 2, 2020 Posted September 2, 2020 I'm 70 years old. I suffered through the Bills going 0 for the 1970s against the Carp, the misery of the post-Chuck Knox 1980s, 4 Super Bowls losses, 20 years of being New England's b!tch ... I will feel at least as good as any Chiefs fan felt last February, and probably better! 1 3 2
MJS Posted September 2, 2020 Posted September 2, 2020 Haha, what is this? If the Bills win the Superbowl that would be amazing. And if there are any haters they can suck it. And just in case we'll win it NEXT year too. 2 1
Brennan Huff Posted September 2, 2020 Posted September 2, 2020 There will be fans at the Super Bowl and I will be there drunk with my man boobs out in full display 1 1 3 1
SlimShady'sSpaceForce Posted September 2, 2020 Posted September 2, 2020 It would be nice. hard to tell until some games are played next year is possible. 2

I would take it a step further and suggest this is a greater accomplishment. I feel the Bills have one of the best home field advantages in the NFL. Much of that will be lost this year so we lose more advantage this year than most teams. This would be a tremendous feat. 2 2 1
ehfeuh57 Posted September 3, 2020 Posted September 3, 2020 No and Who Cares are the same exact answer 2

I dunno... last season we were 4-4 at home last year but 6-2 on the road (including two huge “surprise” wins - @DAL and @PIT). Obviously the fans are always great, to say the least, but it didn’t seem to translate to a discernible advantage in 2019. Many games at NEF we came out completely flat - Cinci, Miami, and Philadelphia to name a few.
PromoTheRobot Posted September 3, 2020 Posted September 3, 2020 What will make me crazier is Allen having an MVP season and the narrative will switch to Diggs and the Bills D are covering up for Allen's shortcomings.
strive_for_five_guy Posted September 3, 2020 Posted September 3, 2020 Bills beating Brady in Tampa on a last second 47 yard FG, spoiling their undefeated season and solidifying ours wouldn’t be satisfying? 1 2

Go back a decade plus and I think we lose some of that as .............we stunk. I like our current team with our fans right now. I think our current fans with our current team would make a difference. JMO 1
