    Re: ouch....no respect.

    Article was titled 4 teams that "may" never win a Super Bowl.

    My hm, 45 or so years of observations make me conclude they "might" not ever win a Super Bowl. I sure hope they do, but be realistic.

    There's nothing for homers to get their panties in a bunch about here. Doesn't matter what other teams the article references, that's just finger pointing deflection from our own history. "May never" leaves open "might", yes ?

    Would be good if they accomplished something, they haven't in an awful long time, they don't look like a contender at the moment, that's just reality without editorial. Too bad if people don't like it, it's just reality and we all have to deal with some of it daily so you may as well get used to it.

    I explained that to you before.

    To hell with "the topic at hand." I'm asking you straight up to name at least 5 positives about this here team? Why dodge that? We're just having a conversation here.

    Perhaps if we were ever in a situation to actually get to know each other, we'd become buddies...then again, maybe not. I don't pull any punches, believe it or not. But I don't get why you'd go so far out of your way to dodge my topic...the topic which I say is now at hand.

    Name 5 positives about this team...anything you can think of, be it current or potential. You can't do that? If you can, that would be worthwhile to me to see what you come up with. This is the way ideas are exchanged by way of conversation, BTW. Nothing else.

    I'm dodging it because it's off topic. My opinion is that the team has done nothing recently to earn respect and nothing recently to make me believe that they will win a SB in the foreseeable future. That doesn't mean there are no positives. It simply means the negatives outweigh the positives. You have a weird obsession with hearing people say good things about a team that isn't very good.

    If this article had been written in 1999 it's quite possible you could argue for New England being on this list. Things can change on a dime and one championship can transform a franchise from laughing stock to a perennial contender.

    Articles like this are written to be click-bait rather than provide anything of merit.

    Typical, and to be expected.

    Just empty. You say nothing. You may as we'll not even say anything, because that's what all you say amounts to. Like I say, just copy and paste the same old message, guy. There isn't anything you have to say.

    I have no obsession about people saying positive things. I'm just asking you if you can come up with five positive things to say about this team. Apparently you refuse to try.

    The topic is whatever anyone says it is...this is the topic: say five good things about this Bills team which you are a fan of. Your top five. Is this not a worthy topic? Don't tell me again that it's off topic, because that's a cop-out. Cop-out again, big guy, why don't ya?

    Have a good time.

    It's a topic. It's not the topic of this thread. People have been annoyed in the past when threads got derailed because of me so I'm trying not to let that happen here.

    Eh. After reading the article, I think the thread deserved a good derailing.

    I am amazed the guy didn't put us no.1

    i'm also amazed the browns weren't on the list.

    I would add Atlanta to the list.

    Re: ouch....no respect.

    one thing we can say is the franchise is different now than than before because of ownership, I feel we have a better chance now than we did with Ralph at the steering wheel. Will we ever win one? no one can answer that but as of right now we are a 500 club at best and don't think we get any better this year.
