I remember the days of being desperate for respect and prematurely claiming equal footing so many times.
And a lot of it is the media's fault.... they pimp the Ravens and these other teams that are 2nd rate at best, so when a team like the Bills beats one of those teams and ends up in an AFCCG, they must belong, right?
We did it every time the Chiefs went 4-0 in September or just because they beat the shit Texans 30-0 in the playoffs, and so on and so forth.
It's all the rage to proclaim things before they're proven, whether it's to call 'game over' or equal footing.
And maybe the Bills are on equal footing.... they just haven't proven it. At all.
And it's not their fault beyond a week 6 loss. You don't get many chances to truly prove yourself, even in the postseason.
Much like the 2018 AFCCG, I'm interested to see if they are in fact on equal footing or if it's yet another case where a team is hyped up far beyond reality.
