could’ve been for real last season :( someday…

Title

The draft is in Detroit tomorrow(yay!). Sadly I couldn't go, even though I live in Michigan.

So just thought I'd ask how everyone's off-season went.

From a comfortably numb Sabres fan, hope you get in and make some noise.

The prophecy has been fortold and come to fruition. A Lake Erie team will win the next Super Bowl.

Who the fuck is Josh Allen going to throw too?! Our Bill's bros are in some serious trouble.

Some talk about the Bills, Browns, and Lions as being cursed in one way or another. But despite the known curses, such as Flutie's Curse or Layne's Curse, I feel that our franchises are cursed for a reason that is more closely related to Lake Erie itself. I'm here today to say that the curse that every Lake Erie team suffers is not from one player or coach, but instead what we suffer from is the Curse of the Blue Pike.

For those of you who are not aware of what a Blue Pike is, it was a once abundant morphology and once differently classed taxonomy of walleye that was endemic to the Great Lakes, but specifically Lake Erie. Thanks in part to overfishing, chemical runoff from industries on the Great Lakes, and invasive smelt, this walleye morphology disappeared in the late 1960s and was declared extinct in 1983.

Ever since the Blue Pike disappeared, our teams have not been able to get over the hump. Before this all three teams would at least win championships in their respective AFL and NFL championships. After it went extinct, all three teams have remained without championship titles in the Superbowl. This may just be superstition, but I do have some slightly hopeful news with this superstition. The Blue Pike is starting to return to waterways adjacent to Lake Erie, specifically tributaries of the St Lawrence watershed.

Perhaps, all that's left is for a fishermen to confirm a blue pike caught in Lake Erie this off-season. Get out there Lake Erie Bros! THE CURSE MUST BE STOPPED AND THE BLUE PIKE MUST RETURN!

View Poll

Over in their subreddit they are hosting a team elimination based on how much they hate the team and the top comment at the current post is the Browns. Do they not realize how magical this brotherhood is? Air genuinely hurts

Just a Browns bro with a cool photo I think. Flew over in a helicopter. I was the pilot in this op.

This is a joke and also not a joke

We couldn't avenge our fallen bros this post season. We weren't able to finish. Until next year!!

Just wanted to say that this year has been a banner fucking year for us. What a fun fucking ride. A couple more wins would have been better, but at the beginning of the season I'm pretty sure most of us would have had Buffalo in the playoffs and Detroit and Cleveland middling through.

Instead we got all three of us in the playoffs, none of the teams listed in the sidebar are in contention anymore (FUCK YOU LamaRB YOU NASTY RATBIRD BITCH) and the fucking Lions made it one win from the big game.

It's been a fun ride and a pleasure, boys. As far as the Super Bowl? Well, fuck em both they can eat a dick.

See y'all next season!

As a Lions fan, it hurts me the most that we lost a game that we practically won, but I gotta give thanks for all the love and support from the fellow Bills and Browns bros! Thanks my dudes!!!!!
