It's tough because it happened to the Bills, twice ( ). However, I don't think it's a huge issue. If you want to make it reviewable, fine, I guess, but I think it only works in games when they have a camera on the crossbar.

you can't allow it to continue

could have changed the outcome of the game

I think Monday Night was him playing Chess. Last night was him beating Pittsburgh over the head with a club, whose name was Diggs. He was the best player on the field for either team on either side of the ball.

They release the All 22’s shortly after each game and you get the birds eye view. I don’t think they released the one from last night though but I can only imagine what they would be like watching that.

Even on the camera last night you could see Diggs ‘ route running snatching DB’s ankles. I think on 4
Occasions, if not more, he made DB’s flat out fall and he was so wide open.

He is incredible.

Pretty much. You accused me of hating dahlin when I never ever have. You literally are the only one that has ever said that and each time. I tell you. I never ever said anything bad about Dahlin.

Then you automatically guessed that Allen was a franchise Qb when he literally had little to no proof last year he was.

My fandom is based on stats, analytics, and knowing the game if it’s hockey or football.

You saw a 400 yard game like a kid seeing a shiny new toy.

I saw Allen playing chess vs the Steelers and niners knowing he found the correct passing lanes.

The funny part is you are mad. and I could careless. I find this all amusing

- Sabretooth9


I'm good from my end, as I find amusing as well. Especially the drunk part...

Age is nothing we can control, so..... maybe you catch up someday?

Time to move on.

Glad you're a Bill's fan

green bay fans enjoyed their team the same that the lions did the last 8 years


that part was priceless

Lions fans that like average qbs, trying to run the ball and a good effort on defense love these squads

I'm a longtime season ticket holder, not an average fan.
Allen was as equally injured if anything, something even below average iq fans would have noticed and taken into consideration.

I played football , where did you gain all your knowledge?

All hail Boss 34. He not only played football, but he also has season tickets. His knowledge is unsurpassed by men.

Both have the same amount of hardware in the trophy case the last 8 years.

Going back 10 years can you tell me who played in each AFC/NFC championship game without searching it up ?

How about divisional matchups and wild card games spanning the last 10 years ?

Unless I went and googled it I couldn’t tell you off the top of my head anything past maybe the last couple of seasons.

Whose going to remember the Bills losing to the Texans in the wild card 5 years from now ?

People remember Super Bowls, or Super Bowl losses. Heck sometimes I don’t even remember those.

Anything else is just instant gratification until it all blows up and we all try again next year.

Anyone who wasn’t a Chiefs fan last year is all suffering the same fate. A year in which they tried but did not succeed.

This is such a bizarre way of looking at it.

The Packers are within a few games of a super bowl every, single, season.

The Lions aren't usually within a few games of the playoffs every year.

Pretending it's the same thing, idk how you get there

I honestly stopped reading there


it's much better to be a fan of an exciting team that makes the playoffs every year and can score a ton of points any given sunday then a team that is always 5-11

from 1988 to 1995 bills football was awesome


from 2005 to 2015 it sucked donkey balls


trying to say it's the same thing is literally mind numbing


the sabres never won a cup, so sabres hockey was never good for 50 years, that's his logic

It works in any sport really:

Maybe it’s different for you then it is for me.

My worst experiences as a sports fan have been playoff losses or a SB loss.

Pales in comparison to missing the playoffs entirely.

I’d rather go 6-10 then lose by 34 points in a Super Bowl.

These past 5 years pale in comparison to Manning’s first 3 years in Denver.

The Broncos had the best team in 2012 and lost to Flacco and the Ravens. That Hail Mary crushed my soul.

Then the year we fired John Fox after a 12-4 season because we didn’t even win a playoff game. That sucked too.

The Broncos not winning that Super Bowl in 2015 would have been an epic failure.

So you'd rather not make the playoffs, draft in the 6-12 range than winning your conference Championship and losing in the Super Bowl?

I'd rather be a top team in the conference for a decade and not win a Super Bowl than not making the playoffs for 17 straight years

Yes and no. More than half the fun is the ride up to it. However, I also want to be a fanbase that expects and even demands greatness. If you're good for an extended period of time (i.e. multiple seasons at a time), the expectations are higher and it becomes less fun. On one hand, losing in the conference championship or the league championship over and over sucks. However, not being anywhere near good enough to get anywhere close is worse. It leads to apathy.

Take the Sabres for example. 2005-2006 was awesome. The general feeling was "hey, we might be able to win it all." 2006-2007, as a result, led to a ton of expectations. The feeling was "we better win it all", and anything less was a disappointment. Fast forward 13 years, and most fans are just numb and finding other things to do. Even the acquisition of Taylor Hall isn't going to bring this fanbase back until it starts to show in the win column.

On the same token, though, if you give me two choices.

Option A: You win one championship, but don't even make the playoffs for the next 20 years.

Option B: You are a perennial contender for 20 years, but never actually win it all.

I take Option A and I don't even hesitate.

Too young to really remember fergy, although I kinda remember him hobbling on a bad foot/ankle in a playoff game?
