Big Turk Posted July 21, 2021 Posted July 21, 2021 (edited) Over the past several years we have watched teams that have either never won a championship before or won for the first time in many decades in major sports hoist the trophy in their respective sport: Golden State Warriors Cleveland Cavs Philadelphia Eagles Washington Nationals Houston Astros Toronto Raptors St. Louis Blues Washington Capitals Chicago Cubs Boston Red Sox KC Royals I am super happy for these teams and their fans that they get to celebrate but I can't help feel a little bit jealous...when is it our turn with the Bills or Sabres?? Edited July 21, 2021 by Big Turk 1
NobesBLO13 Posted July 21, 2021 Posted July 21, 2021 Didn’t they win it in 1971? Was it not considered a major title back then? I’m not an NBA fan so not sure of NBA history in the 70s. 3

I’m from Rochester and we used to have an NBA team called the Royals who won a championship exactly 50 years ago. And you left them off the list. No respect 😡

K-9 Posted July 21, 2021 Posted July 21, 2021 It’s all about the journey. Pretty sure that’s what Moses kept telling the Israelites as they wandered the desert. 2

I think he was still going by the name Lew Alcindor when they won the championship. 1 minute ago, Maynard said: Wow, never knew Rochester had a NBA team. Yeah, they're now the NBA powerhouse known as the Sacramento Kings.

machine gun kelly Posted July 21, 2021 Posted July 21, 2021 When you say? That would be FEBRUARY 13, 2022, and Josh SUPER ALLEN is going to Disney World!
Greg S Posted July 21, 2021 Posted July 21, 2021 Its coming. I have no doubt Beane, McDermott, Allen will lead the Bills to a Super Bowl Championship. The AFL championships (before my time) were nice but 65 was a long time ago. 1

Don Otreply Posted July 21, 2021 Posted July 21, 2021 None of those things has any bearing on what happens with the Bills, keep up the positive vibes and we will be joining your list. 3
First Round Bust Posted July 21, 2021 Posted July 21, 2021 '71 was so long ago, Dennis Shaw was the Bills qb throwing to Marlin Brisoce and Haven Moses with James Harris as backup qb...and the Bills radio crew would often say that OJ would make a great WR...Bucks were led by the Big O and that Lew Alcindor guy plus Bobby Dandridge...coached by Larry Costello...memories of childhood 1

I don't think we are going to dominate an era the AFC is just so loaded at the moment but I think we will find a way in the next 5 years to win a Superbowl. As for the Sabres.... yea. I think never.

We have to see how it plays out but what Beane and McDermott have accomplished in a short period of time has been amazing. They completely changed the culture of this franchise from a loser to a winner.
