    ESPN says Super Bowl Bills were overrated

    The Buffalo Bills aren't big flops -- they shouldn't have won any of those four Super Bowls.

    I can't to the link but if they use the argument that we got there because of a gimmick offense, I could understand how somebody outside of Buffalo could have said that.

      They basically said it's because we were in a weak conference and didn't have a good enough defense

        I agree with the defense part...the division was not as strong as it has been the last 10 years...

          I do blame the defense for most of it. The defense was always the "bend but dont break" type under Walt Cory. Well, when you play in the SB, you have to take chances and turn it up a notch. What it also fails to recognize is the fact that we lost to 3 of the best head coaches ever to coach the game! Parcells, Gibbs, and Johnson.

          Tell me they all wont be hall of famers some day!

            Who cares what ESPN says? ESPN is OVERRATED! Seriously, that channel has really gone downhill lately and the site is a popup disaster! The only thing keeping my attention is Sports Center and Sunday Night Football.

              i love the bills but there is some validity to the fact that our defense was a little soft and that besides the first bowl, we did not play our best for the entire game which cost us each of those games.

                People will always try to hate on our team, but no one can ever change the fact that we were the most dominant team of the 90's. True, we never won the big won, so what!! We were da shiznet for 4 strait yrs, and people who be dissing us all the time are just haters, and probably are either Cowgirl or Dolphins fans.

                  That guy should say that to Jim Kelly or Bruce Smith's face, and we'll see whose attitude changes.

                    While the Buffalo teams of the early 1990's were very good and extremely talented, they were not the most dominant team of the decade. Based on Championships, you have to go with Dallas who won three within the decade. Also, the Niners and Broncos both won a pair of Lombardi Trophies ion the Nineties. Sorry guy, your guys team was the best in the AFC for four years, but nowhere near the most dominant. That is like saying the Braves were the most dominant team in MLB in the 90's. That distinction goes to the Yankees.

                    And yes, I am a Dolphins fan.

                      Most dominant of the 90s? no.
                      Most dominant of the early 90s...without a doubt.

                        I would still argue for the Cowboys, but it holds more water than over the entire decade.

                        Agreed. So why not admit to whatever your problem is and get it off your chest?

                            Glad I could help. In the future though, please refrain from eating with a knife and/or fork while reading my posts. I would hate to see any type of damage done to yourself.

                              isn't part of being "overrated" actually being rated highly at one point in time?

                              Those Bills teams don't get a ton of respect outside of Buffalo fans - more often than not, they're thought of as choke-artists or losers if they're thought of at all (my personal thought is they were the 2nd best team of that era - Cowboys first). I don't know how someone can say they're overrated.
