Former Bills QB Predicts Super Bowl Glory: “This Could Be the Year”
Ryan Fitzpatrick, a beloved former quarterback for the Buffalo Bills, has once again voiced his unwavering support for the team he once led. Speaking on Good Morning Football on NFL Network, Fitzpatrick revealed his growing confidence in Buffalo’s Super Bowl chances this season—confidence further solidified after a recent chat with reigning MVP quarterback Josh Allen.
Although the Bills have yet to claim a Super Bowl title and haven’t reached the big game since 1993, they’ve come close in recent years. Their most recent push ended with an AFC Championship loss to the Kansas City Chiefs. Now, Fitzpatrick believes that elusive breakthrough might finally be within reach.
A Look Back at Fitzpatrick’s Buffalo Days
Fitzpatrick arrived in Buffalo in 2009 during a turbulent era marked by a 17-year playoff drought. Initially backing up Trent Edwards, Fitzpatrick soon earned the starting role and became a rare bright spot in a frustrating stretch for the franchise. He threw for 23 touchdowns in 13 games in 2010, followed by a strong start in 2011 that earned him a six-year contract extension.
While his performance tapered off in the following seasons, Fitzpatrick’s connection with Bills fans—known affectionately as the “Bills Mafia”—remained strong. Even after leaving the team in 2012 and embarking on a nine-team NFL journey, the Harvard grad’s time in Buffalo stood out as particularly meaningful.
A Lifelong Bond With Buffalo
Since retiring in 2022, Fitzpatrick has transitioned into broadcasting, including a prominent role with Amazon’s Thursday Night Football. Yet his love for Buffalo never faded. From heartfelt interviews to attending playoff games as a fan in the stands, he’s continued to embrace the Bills community as one of his own.
Now, with the 2025 season approaching, Fitzpatrick is doubling down on his belief that Buffalo is finally ready to reach the NFL mountaintop. As someone who’s felt the highs and lows of the franchise firsthand, his prediction resonates with the hopes of an entire city still waiting for that long-overdue celebration.
