njbuff Posted September 17, 2021 Posted September 17, 2021 That was the 2002 Tampa Bay Buccaneers, who lost to the New Orleans Saints in their season OPENER at home. Nine other teams have lost their season openers but went on to win the SB. All of those losses were on the road. Point is, history is not on the Bills side when it comes to going on and winning the SB after their opening home loss to Pittsburgh. What do you think? 5 5 6

streetkings01 Posted September 17, 2021 Posted September 17, 2021 I think it means nothing honestly. Super Bowls aren't won in week 1. 3 1
bmur66 Posted September 17, 2021 Posted September 17, 2021 Oh well. There is always next year. 2 10 1
njbuff Posted September 17, 2021 Author Posted September 17, 2021 I don’t think it means much either, but it’s something to be aware of. 1
Xwnyer Posted September 17, 2021 Posted September 17, 2021 Wow what does next year's draft class look like. Who do we dump and fire now. 2

cage Posted September 17, 2021 Posted September 17, 2021 Buccaneers lost their opening game last year. But that's OK because it was on the road? 1

I see this roster as very competitive and will get to the playoffs, but KC or Tampa's defense would stop the bills offense cold. Bills have no answer up front for the Chris Jones's and really stout front 7s of rhe NFL. Not yet.

Check your facts and stop trolling. I took one quick look and found more than one team to lose opener and win Super Bowl. Don't know where these trolls get there "facts" from, but being wrong and posting it as if it's fact is a HUGE problem with certain people on this site. Quickly Giants 2011 lost week 1 and won the Super Bowl. Seeing that I found that quickly as my first search I can bet many more did this also. Also the 2020 BUCS lost first game and went on to win the Super Bowl.... This is such bad research, trolling research. Edited September 17, 2021 by TBBills 1 1 1
YoloinOhio Posted September 17, 2021 Posted September 17, 2021 I think it doesn’t matter but I also wasn’t expecting them to win the SB this year 1 1 1

I think the Bills should tank season to get the #1 pick. isn't that what you want?
RobbRiddick Posted September 17, 2021 Posted September 17, 2021 I love these sort of facts. Did you know only 1 team in history has advanced to the championship game after their leading receiver flossed his teeth on the sidelines during a regular season finale against a division rival? 2 1

H2o Posted September 17, 2021 Posted September 17, 2021 It's one game and it was the first week of the season. The last couple of years we have played the Steelers towards the end of the year, when injuries are starting to catch up with teams. One game was against Duck Hodges and the other with their defense missing a few key guys. This year it was first week of the year and they were at full strength. Coaching and OL play cost us that game, as well as some untimely penalties. I still think we have a team that can compete with any in the NFL, but our guys up front are going to have to give Josh time. They blitzed on a very limited basis and our front couldn't handle 4 guys for most of the game. It was bad. Let's see where this team is at in December because they usually tend to get stronger as the season goes along.
The Jokeman Posted September 17, 2021 Posted September 17, 2021 Who says we can't be the second? No team has won a Super Bowl playing 17 regular season games either, so I guess we were destined to lose from the start? Numbers and facts are fun but each season, game, play is individual. Like they say on commercials for attorneys, past success doesn't determine future success. The Bills lost the season opener, all they can do is play the next game and go from there. 2
Radar Posted September 17, 2021 Posted September 17, 2021 It's just one game loss against a good Pittsburgh. But ,in my mind, this isn't a Super Bowl team anyways. We're a good team but not Super Bowl good.
Forward Progress Posted September 17, 2021 Posted September 17, 2021 Are we mathematically eliminated now... or still in the hunt? 2
