RangerDave Posted January 17, 2021 Posted January 17, 2021 I am so glad that the younger guys on this board are getting to feel what it is like to root for a good organization! Many here were too young to appreciate the '90's Bills. Those teams were so much fun to watch and root for. Then, we hit the drought years. Ugh! My question is this. Would you rather: Win the Super Bowl this year, but in the next 10-15 years we enter a period of drought where we end up 7-9 or worse every year. Or, Enter a 10-15 year period where we routinely win double digit games, make the playoffs almost every year, but never win the big one. On one hand, the '90's teams won a LOT of games. They also won a lot of playoff games. For that decade, I walked into work on Mondays in a good mood. It was a glorious period in Buffalo sports. But every season ended in "disappointment" as we did not get a ring. On the other hand, the drought years were miserable. It was tough getting excited about each season. It was gloomy on Mondays. A demoralizing period in Buffalo sports. The Bills, and Buffalo, were irrelevant to the sports world. It is a hard choice for me. I have longed to be on the winning side of a championship team my entire life. I was only 2-3 when the Bills won their AFL Championships, so I can't say a team I rooted for won it all. But, the '90s were so much fun. Winning 10 to 15 games every year was great. So what if we lost the one last game? The year overall was still great. And the drought years were so awful! Can't we win JUST one??? Which would you choose? Win big now but lose consistently later, or win consistently for a long period, but never a championship? 3
SMAKCruiser Posted January 17, 2021 Posted January 17, 2021 Do we get to at least get to go to the Super Bowl with Option 2? Or are we one and done like the Bengals were under Marvin Lewis.
TroutDog Posted January 17, 2021 Posted January 17, 2021 I’m not fond of the choices. I want the Lombardi trophy and a long run. We deserve it. 4 8 1 1
devldog131 Posted January 17, 2021 Posted January 17, 2021 As many of us have said over the years... One before I die. 5 6
letsgoteam Posted January 17, 2021 Posted January 17, 2021 I want a Super Bowl, and anything after that doesnt matter. I'll take multiple 0-16 seasons if it means they've won a Super Bowl. 3 1
Devilmann Posted January 17, 2021 Posted January 17, 2021 What’s to think about? You take the trophy any time you can. 2 1
Rc2catch Posted January 17, 2021 Posted January 17, 2021 Got to get a trophy. Too many long time die hard bills fans deserve a Super Bowl win. 1
uninja Posted January 17, 2021 Posted January 17, 2021 (edited) I want a trophy, but would hate to pay the price the Eagles did to get it. Edited January 17, 2021 by uninja
Aussie Joe Posted January 17, 2021 Posted January 17, 2021 How about option 3... Win the SB this year.. and next year... 1 1 1
WotAGuy Posted January 17, 2021 Posted January 17, 2021 You play to win the game. “The game” in this case being the Super Bowl. 1
NewEra Posted January 17, 2021 Posted January 17, 2021 Luckily this is make believe. My vote is win the super bowl this year and dominate for the next 15 4
BullBuchanan Posted January 17, 2021 Posted January 17, 2021 Personally, I'd rather be good every year. The drought did permanent damage to the excitement a Super Bowl win will bring me. I just like not having 4+ months out of every year completely ruined.
gordong Posted January 17, 2021 Posted January 17, 2021 win the super bowl... not even close. Just win one. For the love of godd 1
Whkfc Posted January 17, 2021 Posted January 17, 2021 I need one. Im not greedy. But between the Bills and Sabres im 45 and really became aware and interested around 88 when we went to the AFC championship against the Bengals and lost. So i am i think 0 for 63 on possible championships. Im despirate I wanna know what that feels like to see my guys celebrating with that trophy i want the T-shirt, poster and sports illustrated kit. I want one year to not end with out disappointment and looking forward to the draft. Please just once then ill take it as it comes. 1
Warcodered Posted January 17, 2021 Posted January 17, 2021 I mean what kind of question is this would you rather get punched in the face or kicked in the nuts? 2 1
peterpan Posted January 17, 2021 Posted January 17, 2021 I vote we win the next 15 superbowls going 19-0 every season. 1

Sweats Posted January 17, 2021 Posted January 17, 2021 My old man always wanted to see the Bills win the SB before he passed on....its too late for that now, but I'm hoping for one before I reach that mortal coil 3
MiltonWaddams Posted January 17, 2021 Posted January 17, 2021 Take the championship. I have followed the Toronto Raptors basketball organization for 25 years. As someone who witnessed a championship and is now looking at a rebuild, I will tell you that it’s much more enjoyable to take that championship. It’s such an incredibly gratifying feeling. I saw it with the Toronto Blue Jays in the 90s as well. It’s like I always have that to fall back upon
