The Buffalo Bills have to be the most cursed franchise in sports. Not even just American football. (1 Viewer)

[Grumpy Old Manatee]

I do feel for their fans though. They are really good people and they do deserve to see a Super Bow victory

They get the opportunity to see a Super Bowl victory every year; just have to tune in.

Ouch!

The Bills have gotten beat in their last three playoff runs by the Chiefs and Patrick Mahomes.

I’ll give you three guess who the Chiefs traded up with on draft night to get Patrick Mahomes.

Yep.

The Bills are cursed.

Excellent point. The Bills rolled out Tyrod Taylor, Nate Peterman (worst QB I’ve ever seen), and Joe Webb in 2017. Not sure why they didn’t roll the dice on Mahomes themselves. Plus, it’s bc of them the Chiefs got Mahomes instead of us. In light of this testimony, I now don’t care if the Bills don’t ever see a Super Bowl victory

They're paying the bills about that!

At least they have the 2016 Cavs.

Yes, and before that, the last time a Cleveland-based sports team won a championship was the 1964 NFL Championship with the Browns. 52 years of Red Right 88, Art Modell firing Paul Brown, forcing Jim Brown into retirement due to the Dirty Dozen experiencing shooting delays, Modell ordered Brown to come back for training camp in 1966 or he'd fine him $1,000 dollars a day, Michael Jordan's The Shot in the 1989 EC 1st round Game 5 over Craig Ehlo, The Drive, The Fumble, two painful, excruciating back-to-back AFCCG losses in 1986 and 1987, respectively, the Indians losing two painfully close World Series in 1995 and 1997, The Decision where LeBron decided to take his talents to "South Beach" in summer of 2010. Indians losing another, winnable World Series in 2016 to the Cubs where they were originally up 3-1.

Losing the Browns in 1995 and then witnessing from afar them becoming a perennial playoff team, that's won two Super Bowls and maybe a third this season soon.

More generally, Buffalo is cursed sports city.

Sabres have sucked something fierce for most of their existence. When they did get good and had Hasek in net, possibly the best goalie of his generation next to Brodeur, they lost in the Finals in like Quadruple overtime on one the more controversial non-calls in NHL history. "No goal" stings just as much as "Wide right" to Buffalo locals.

I guess its merciful the city does not have a baseball or basketball team.


Maybe but F the Vikes. They've have our number in the playoffs. Cept that one time.

You do know that Buffalo won two AFL titles in 1964 and 1965 but I suppose for most sports fans, commentators, analysts in general, that doesn't count or mean anything. To most modern sports fans, winning an AFL title doesn't really count.

My boss is from Buffalo. A pox upon them...

The people that genuinely remember that are at least 65, so they are going to be a small percentage of Bills fans. On top of that, that's getting a bit long into the tooth be really into the team to the degree younger generations are.

Even Washington has been talking about being cursed now (if just talking about the football team not the city, as the Nats and Caps have recently won titles). And that deficit only goes back to the early 90s.

Too many unlucky moments in one certain franchise are very snake bit, if not cursed.

They had some fortune in 88 when they traded some draft picks for Cornelius Bennett (a 3-way trade involving Dickerson from the Rams to the Colts) and then without their 1st round pick they were able to draft a RB who would go on to supplant their previous all-time leading rusher who no longer had the juice.

I didn't know that story about Lynch. That was funked up.

In this video, he initially talks about being pulled over by Buffalo police but toward the end he talks about walking into a bar trying to order a drink but there's a confederate flag in there and the locals basically told him they weren't going to serve him because he was black.

Why does Patrick Mahomes bother you?
Honestly asking bc I love watching that dude play. He’s an amazing player

He constantly whines to the refs about literally EVERYTHING that doesn't go his way. Any contact on a receiver, no matter how minor is OBVIOUSLY pass interference, and any contact on him is either an illegal blow to the head or a late hit. He just whines constantly. He's an otherwordly talent but his whining annoys me to no end.

I am a basketball fan and players like Tony Parker used to irk me for that reason. He was always flopping and on the floor on his back with his legs high up in the air like he was a lady of the evening. I mean, he was arguably one of the greatest point guards of his time but the whining and flopping just irked me.

You'll never see that in hockey. Y'all watch hockey?
