Wait, have you heard of the patriots in the 90s, 80s, 70s or 60s? You went to 4 super bowls in a row and were considered infinitely more successful until 2001 hit.

And how many Pats fans followed the team back then? I was 10 the last time the Bills went to the playoffs and I'm 28, that's insanity. We've got the longest playoff drought in all major league sports, I'm not saying everyone doesn't have their set backs but you can't blame fans for overreacting to the same thing they've seen every season. I was mainly upset that he quoted me when I was clearly joking about the super bowl though. 

Also, I didn't realize that he quoted me in the Pats forum. I apologize that I derailed this thread a bit.

Yeah. The super bowl comment was clear sarcasm. I tend to agree with your comment about Benjamin though, he's definitely a throw it up and hope type of guy and Tyrod is the exact opposite. 

Also, I'm going to be tuning in next week just like every other Bills fan. We'll see how dedicated you are when you've seen the same disaster for 17 straight years. It's beyond frustrating but Bills fans still turn up every single year and travel extremely well. But please, tell me about being a fan while you win double digits wins every season and are basically guaranteed a playoff spot, must be such a struggle for you.

In the 80s and 90s we were picking in the top 10 every year. Football wasn't invented in 2000, I know exactly what it's like. We lost 12 times out of 19 against Buffalo in the 90s. 

I think you massively overreacted in your thread, as Buffalo are still in a decent shape. Thursday games are weird. 

 

Edit: Sorry about the quote, I didn't mean to format it like that.

Yeah I think we're still in it but I don't think this year will be the year. I'm much more levelheaded today, just too many painful memories and alcohol haha. I'll let you guys have your thread back, later!

Come around our GDT's when the Patriots are down by a FG, the sky will be falling lol

[Apparition]

last year the Broncos and Giants had the top two defenses in DVOA

today Wentz and Goff threw a combined 510 yards, 8 TDs and 0 picks against them.

[Hunter2_1]

Great, Denver going to be p'd off against us. 

If they play Osweiler though, I'm not sure anything can help them. They could start Lynch.

[biggbrd]

I would be pretty P'd off about that last TD if I were a Dallas fan! Hopefully they can come back out and keep up their first half play.

[ChazStandard]

Dallas should be embarrassed by that play to close out the half - to hold KC to only 3 points and then let that happen is ridiculous.

[IheartMyV8]

Tyyyyy Dallas.  

[biggbrd]

Just happy to see us get ahead of KC in the loss column. Hopefully we can keep it that way!

[Apparition]

Who currently owns the tiebreaker between Pats and Steelers?

[ChazStandard]

Pretty good week - Dolphins, Bills, Broncos, Chiefs, Ravens all lost.

Oakland won, but their defense is so bad that they worry me much less than all the other 3 AFCW teams.

Hopefully the Broncos come out broken and defeated next week, not driven and angry.

[Hunter2_1]

LOLLLL DALLAS!

But thanks, all the same. Smith throws first INT - according to gen'ers, he cant be MVP anymore then.

I'm annoyed at how much work Kelsey is getting. He always gets the yardage, but he's never been in the same zip code as Gronk TD-wise. Well, this season, like most things KC, is different. I want Gronk to put on one of his monster games in Denver.

If the Titans make the playoffs it will be the most milquetoast team I've seen in the playoffs in a while. Just so bleh.

If the heist is playing does it matter? They've lost 4 in a row, 3-5 record with no offense. They'd have to win out to have a chance at the playoffs. Last week was their superbowl.
