BenchBledsoe Posted October 30, 2004 Posted October 30, 2004 It is a given: God will not allow Buffalo to win the Superbowl. 4 straight losses and Norwood's kick are enought to convince me. The Redsox ended their curse, but I always felt that a city like Boston had a winning tradition behind it's teams. Buffalo? Give me a break. I can't even picture a championship. Neither the Bills or Sabres. They're a combined 0-6 in their last 6 trys for a championship. Sheer odds and law of averages says that at least 1 or 2 of those should have been won by Buffalo. I believe there is something else going on here. And please don't try to bring up the Bills AFL titles in 64 and 65. The AFL was clearly viewed as the lesser league back then, and it was before I was even born. It also was not viewed as the championship, that went to the NFL. I'm talking about the more recent past. And with the sate of the Bills and Sabres, do any of you really see a championship title in the foreseeable future? How about ever? Who else has let the current state of the Buffalo teams get to them like I have? Who agrees and who is still optimistic?
ofiba Posted October 30, 2004 Posted October 30, 2004 I see one this year for both . Run Willis! Skate Max!
Mike32282 Posted October 30, 2004 Posted October 30, 2004 How come no one mentions the 2 AFL Championships that this team has? 1964 and 1965 AFL Champions!

I said that they were before I was even born and were in a league that was considered the lesser league as compared to the NFL.
Terry Tate Posted October 30, 2004 Posted October 30, 2004 Relax, Cigarette-Smoking Man is through. It'll happen someday. Lydon: I'm working on next month's Oscar nominations. Any preference? Cigarette-Smoking Man: I couldn't care less. What I don't want to see is the Bills winning the Super Bowl. As long as I'm alive, that doesn't happen. Jones: That'll be tough, sir. Buffalo wants it bad. Cigarette-Smoking Man: So did the Soviets in '80. Jones: What are you saying? That you rigged the Olympic hockey game? Cigarette-Smoking Man: What's the matter? Don't you believe in miracles?
Guest Guest Posted October 30, 2004 Posted October 30, 2004 God never lets the Red Sox win the World Series, either. Oh... wait... umm... let me get back to you on that, k?

Those teams were Champions. Our time will come again and as hard as it is when its happens it will be that much sweeter to those who endure. If Championship seasons came so often they wouldnt be special. When its does it will be a magic , its good to enjoy the moments we have for they will not come again.

My point is that I want to witness, with my own two eyes, a championship for the city of Buffalo. Preferably a Super Bowl, but the Stanley Cup would be a decent consolation prize.
Fezmid Posted October 30, 2004 Posted October 30, 2004 Not ALL Buffalo sports teams are cursed. The Buffalo Bandits have won championships in the MILL/NLL. Speaking of which, Minnesota was awarded a new franchise (the Swarm), and the Bandits are the Swarm's fhome opener. I've got season tickets. CW

I think often we shorten the winning season, its more than one single season its a composite of generations going to games enduring the crap and losing , the bad coaches , the referees , close loses, the great players , plays so dam close, its all that stuff and sharing it with others and remembering others that make it special. Hell ya , we all want that magic season, I hear you.
Arkady Renko Posted October 30, 2004 Posted October 30, 2004 There is no god. 91961[/snapback] My poop was green the other day. I don't why the happens every once in awhile.
Dante Posted October 30, 2004 Posted October 30, 2004 Mythical, fairy tale idols have nothing to do with the four losses. Inferior offensive,defensive lines, and Bills management unwillingness to correct , has everything to do with it.

Like the Muslims in his Holy Cities aren't taking up his time right now.
zow2 Posted October 30, 2004 Posted October 30, 2004 Pats, Ravens, Bucs win Superbowls. Lightning wins the Cup. Red Sox, Diamonbacks, Marlins win World Series'. The gloves are off. G_d has nothing to do with it. Anyone can win any sport at any time (except UB will never win the NCAA football championship:) I will say that the Sabres probably have a better shot at winning the Cup than the Bills the Superbowl over the next decade. Bills will be chasing the dream for a Looooooooong time.
BillnutinHouston Posted October 30, 2004 Posted October 30, 2004 The entire City has deteriorated during our lifetime. We're just lucky we're barely hanging on to 2 major league sports teams.
MadBuffaloDisease Posted October 30, 2004 Posted October 30, 2004 The entire City has deteriorated during our lifetime. We're just lucky we're barely hanging on to 2 major league sports teams. 92143[/snapback] They're barely hanging onto the Sabres, although that might change if revenue sharing and a salary cap gets instituted. They have a firm hold of the Bills though.
