Over half of Buffalo Bills fans, a solid 56% of them, are feeling ‘cautiously optimistic’ about their team right now after training camp. That’s the vibe coming out of August as the Bills get ready for preseason football. Fans are eating up every training camp practice, press conference, and reporter hot take they can get to get a feel for this reformulated squad.
The Hype Is Real, For Most
It’s not only cautious optimism fueling the city, though. Another 30% of readers are ‘super excited’ about Buffalo in August. And honestly, who can blame them? There’s plenty to get hyped about, especially with that new defensive scheme in place. Plus, president of football operations and general manager Brandon Beane pulled off a big move, landing quarterback Josh Allen a new top wide receiver option in DJ Moore. And let’s not forget about running back James Cook III, the reigning NFL rushing yards leader, who looks totally ready to run it back. Those are some serious reasons for a lot of fans to be pumped.
Not Everyone’s Convinced Yet
But it’s not all sunshine and rainbows. A smaller chunk of the fanbase, 12% of voters, says they ‘haven’t seen enough yet’ to form a strong opinion. And way down at the bottom, 2% of folks are actually ‘cautiously pessimistic’. Could those new alternate uniforms be a factor for the doubters? It’s anybody’s guess.
As preseason football looms, everyone’s waiting to see if these early camp ‘nuggets’ translate onto the field. The Bills are still chasing that AFC Championship, and these first glimpses are all fans have to chew on until the real action kicks off.
