And, and just to start off, without really going into this too much, it's Joe Brady's first year as head coach of this team, and it is the home opener for this team in their new stadium.
So there's a lot of new with the Buffalo Bills after a long tenure of a head coach you, who you long called for the head of, and they eventually gave it to you.
Um, this is quite the thing for Buffalo and, you know, we're gonna try and play spoiler.
Um, I mean, there's, there's one aim in the NFL, and that's to reach Super Bowl, and he never did that.
I've said there's no difference between you reaching an NFC championship game every season and finishing with the number one overall pick every season if neither of you win a Super Bowl.
Yes, you may remember some good times and have some good wins, but ultimately you're not gonna win the top prize, which is the only thing to do, and you're in this to win top prizes.
Most people would gladly accept the Super Bowl for 10 horrific years because they would have the Super Bowl, and Buffalo were never able to take that next step.
Chiefs always found a way to get one over on them, no matter how good they were, no matter how bad the Chiefs were.
And you know, that's, that's why I've been very vocal about the need for the Lions to not rely on this window too much and try and extend it for years 'cause it's all right being good for years, but eventually you've gotta take the plunge and go for the Super Bowl, and you've, you've gotta do it.
There's a year when you've gotta be great and, and they just didn't do that.
They've severely disappointed and, you know, no one's gonna remember this period of Buffalo football and Josh Allen if he doesn't win a Super Bowl.
Everyone's gonna remember the Patriots and their dominance and, you know, people are gonna remember the Giants, their two Super Bowls.
They ain't gonna remember Josh Allen and the Bills when all is said and done, for as good as it's been.
They've, they've got to try and get that final 10% of the way to a Super Bowl and, and to go win one, otherwise it's all pointless.
They've still got a lot of good players on there and, you know, they're, they're trying to open a new chapter, so gonna be, gonna be a tough one.
