They're DYING for a winner there, and the Pats are Goliath, I don't blame them at all. We've seen this story before. I have a lot of friends who are rabid Bills fans, I distinctly remember 2008 when they started the season 4-0, then went to 5-1. Brady was out of the picture, this was their year. Bills fans were euphoric, I've never seen anything like it.
Then they lost 4 straight and 8 of their final 10 to finish 7-9. I've never seen a fanbase go from orgasmic optimism to utter depression so fast. They just want a winner, and for the first time in a long time they have a real HC, a dominant defense and the makings of a good offense. Taylor may be a disaster waiting to happen but through one game he's looked good, so they're hanging their hat on it.
So as I said, I don't blame them at all...this IS their Super Bowl, because they haven't been to the playoffs since 1999, a stretch of fifteen years where the Pats have been to the playoffs 12 times, been to six SB's and won four of them. If they beat the Pats on Sunday it'll be absolute mayhem in Buffalo, even if we all know it's a long season and an early-season win/loss does not make or break a teams SB aspirations.
