They're the 'plucky underdog' who somehow get favored every season at the same time
They're a bigger media darling than the perennial contenders with a history of winning

Then the graphic is inaccurate, because I remember Peyton getting knocked back then for having success in college but not in the NFL. So no, it wasn't cool when Peyton did it. He was getting blasted, too.

Nobody on TV was saying manning was asss and that he wasn’t eliteThen the graphic is inaccurate, because I remember Peyton getting knocked back then for having success in college but not in the NFL. So no, it wasn't cool when Peyton did it. He was getting blasted, too.
Nobody on tv was saying he should be traded and he’ll never win a Super Bowl
The majority of people were blaming his head coach for not being able to get the team to a Super Bowl

What the Bills have should be enough.
They have a “top 5” QB and good weapons. More than halve the teams in the league would trade what they have to be the Bills.

True, no one was saying he was ***. But the Super Bowl-less talk had already started with Marino comparisons. Again, though, how many times had the Colts failed to advance because of something very clearly his fault?
Hypothetically, a QB who throws for 350+ but literally their final 3 throws of the game were pick-6s (ridiculous hypothetical, I know, but it's intentional to make the point), that's clearly on them.
Dak (and Romo) have incredibly impressive bulk numbers but have a handful of playoff games that were clearly on them. Same with Cutler in Chicago. Bulk numbers are the easiest way to remove accountability in sports.
I'm not saying Dak is terrible, either. It's not that polarizing. I'm simply saying there's a legit reason Peyton didn't get as much criticism. Yes, there's also a BS reason.

The Bills defense looked completely different once Von got hurt. Again, I think Daboll leaving hurt Allen some too,

Meh life goes on. He has his freedom, settled his lawsuits, and got a big contract. Learn from your mistakes, do and be better, live your life.

Manning didn’t play those teams every week
Rules haven’t changed that much and a lot of the changes were made for Manning so he played under the same rules

Diggs is elite but after him.....
How many teams got 2 elite WR's? If you a got 1,400 WR, a 800 WR, 2 others pass catchers with 10 TD's combined that's more enough.

Gabe Davis has PERFORMED he’s the reason they almost beat the chiefs last year…. He’s the reason they beat the Dolphins.
Dudes be revising history. Gabe has more playoff TDs than Diggs.
