That’s not stopping coach Sean McDermott from talking about it. And from literally visualizing it — for himself and the team.
Via Ben Volin of the Boston Globe, the team’s indoor practice facility has a giant banner between one of the goalposts with the image of a Lombardi Trophy on it.
The players haven’t seen it yet, since training camp is happening off site, at St. John Fisher University.
“It’s just a daily reminder of what we’re here to do and what we’re trying to accomplish,” McDermott told Volin. “It’s just really a standard for us, what we’re trying to accomplish every year. And more than anything internally, it’s to keep us focused on that through the course of the season, when that can get clouded with the journey.”
Last year, the Bills faced unreasonably high expectations to return to the Super Bowl and win it. This year, they’re still trying to downplay the obvious frustrations displayed by receiver Stefon Diggs during an embarrassing 27-10 home loss to the Bengals in the postseason.
Maybe that’s the reason for keeping an image of the trophy visible at all times in the practice facility. It could help to keep everyone properly focused on the mission, and to get them to ignore anything that could cloud that objective.
Do they want a curse? Because that's how you get a curse. If they were smart they would burn that banner right now. [Reply]

The franchise lost back to back to back to back SBs - I feel like the curse is already in place. [Reply]
Training camp means they can't hunt down the squirrel that chewed on Josh Allen's condoms. Then can't determine the proper mustard to brains ratio in a St John Fischer University poor boy [Reply]
Who plays in a Championship first, the Bills, the Sabres, or the LA Clippers (formerly known as the Buffalo Braves)? That city has some serious sports stank. [Reply]

Bills. They went to four straight SBs. Now who will win one first is anybody's guess. [Reply]
