I’ve always wondered just how fun it really is to be a Patriots fan over the last 20 years

There’s probably been some obvious amazing moments winning the SB but after the first 10+ years of coming into the season knowing you’re going to win 12-13 games and get a bye and not really having stressful games until the playoffs doesn’t seem like a majority of the season is fun
- sbroads24

There are quite a few Patriots fans where I live and they've been having a great time up until this season, even when they haven't won it all.

Good Post Stripes, and Allen seems like the type that will take his payday but isn't gonna kill the Bill's with it. Seems to know what TEAM means.

drafting and free agent signings


you need to get the next daryl williams
the next josh norman on short term deals


you need to draft more guys like taron johnson, milano and davis in the middle of the draft

guys like ford, oliver, and epensea need to take the next step


and you can't waste cap on guys like murphy


they can keep it going, but they need to be smart, and a little lucky

I understand. I look back and am proud of 4 Super Bowls. But at this point I want a win.
- IndianaSabresFan

We all want to win one

But to call this season a failure if we don't isn't right

They checked a lot of boxes

Won the AFC East
Won a playoff game
Made it to the AFC Championship game
Developed their Franchise QB

I mean yes I want one, and I want one bad, but this season was far from a failure

They've shown good restraint so far letting Shaq and Phillips go. Can't keep everyone and you have to be right about who you keep. I trust Beane to make those choices

Unlike the Sabres the Bills have the right guys in the front office to do those things

if Higgins didn't fumble, do the browns win today?

- kingcong39

Yeah. I know a few Patriots fans too and the only enjoyment they seem to get was beating the Bills until it came time for the playoffs. They barely talked about them otherwise

I hope they win for all the fans who it means so much to.

For me, I'm enjoying every game along the way, especially considering I'm a Sabres fan and their track record of being poop for so long.

- homiedclown

Yes.

Especially with Mahomes not playing the 4th quarter

The Browns should have still won the game.

Down 5 with 6 minutes left and you have the ball...

Good teams win those games

Very true homie, drafting will be huge the next few years, and seems like Beane has a pretty good handle on the Cap. And could see all of them gone, think Hughes stays.

The Bills season was needed for so many reasons

Dion Dawkins piece in the player tribune was spot on.

Add in Covid and this season was just what Bills fans needed.

- sbroads24

Oddly, the one time I saw Patriots fans not enjoying things was when I was at a Super Bowl party with a few of them when they beat the Rams. They were happy they won, but they were bored to tears.

Yes

Some people aspire for more in life and don’t settle.
- Pegullaville

Yeah, they're called incels.

This is the best Bills football of my entire life by a long shot. I'm enjoying every moment

- Buff36

I think hughes takes a pay cut to stay

I think daryl williams comes back for 1 year below market value

the o line and milano will be the key for this offseason

Yikes.

- Wetbandit1

What the Hell!!!

More in life out of a source of entertainment?

Also, who says it's settling? There's nothing wrong with being disappointed your team didn't win it all while still enjoying a very good season, when it happens.

Those 2 thoughts can coexist.
- kingcong39

Well, they can for people with half a brain.

Williams says he loves it here, could definitely see it. Milano is a ?, heck of a player, needs to stay healthy, be interesting to see what he's looking for.

That’s sort of what I mean.

They went to 9 of them over two decades

Imagine ever being bored for a second of a Bills SB.

I’d savor every minute

A TV and a book shelf didn't savor the loses.

it came so easy to get to the 4, in a way


never thought it would be 27 years before we got to the afc title game again
