  1. May I ask you why you get pizzed off after a Bills game or a Sabres game for that matter??? It's only a game that is meant for recreation. Win or lose it means nothing that affects your life in any way, shape, or form. After the game your house will still be there, you will still have a job, your bank account will be unchanged, and if you're lucky maybe even you wife will still be there. Can't guarantee the wife part. I don't know her so I don't know how dumb she thinks you are for getting frustrated over two of the worst teams in professional sports history.

     

    I thought for a minute you were wanting a serious discussion, but then I kept reading. Are you just trolling today?
  2. Except for the final episode of Seinfeld, I literally have not watched an episode of scripted TV in real time since 1985So, the fact that anybody would plan around that is kind of jarring to me.

     

    There was no social media at the time of the final episode of Seinfeld. Also it wasn't the conclusion of a dramatic season ending cliffhanger. I normally record everything I watch. But this episode is quite different, spoilers are a B word. It was just an added incentive not to go to the game, not the main reason.
  3. After careful deliberation I decided not to attend the annual Buffalo-Miami game in Miami this year. My main reasoning is this, when I attend games in consecutive years, as I have. The Bills record is W,L,W,L,W,L,W.....with last years blowout included. So based on this scientific evidence I fear my attendance at the game will continue this pattern. So I have decided to shake up the universe, and not attend, hoping to end this agonizing cycle. Thus in theory, guaranteeing a Bills win. Is this just the thinking of a playoff drought delusional fan, or am I not alone? What are your superstitious reasons for not attending a game?

     

    (Oh, and I'm also worried I won't make it home in time for The Walking Dead season premiere) it's a two hour drive back home.

  4. I'm flying up to Buffalo for a family emergency, and may attend the game Sunday. Between the facts that it will be my first regular season home game in Buffalo in 22 years, and I have/had active family members in the military. I will not show respect of any kind to that SOB. Just as its his right to kneel, it's my right to express my feelings towards him. To each their own, I guess...... Go Bills!

  5. A long long time ago

    I can still remember how

    The Bills used to make me smile

    And I knew if I had my chance

    That I could see Bruce's sack dance

    And maybe I'd be happy for a while

    But February made me shiver

    With every loss they'd deliver

    Bad news on the doorstep

    I couldn't take one more step

    I can't remember how long I cried

    When I watched that it went wide

    Something touched me deep inside

     

    The day that it went wide.....

     

    Well actually my favorite moment was right before that fateful kick. Isn't that what it's all about? The one moment that can win it all, that one chance...the ultimate moment in all of sports ...well I'm still waiting on the final feeling, but honestly that is the closest the Bills have ever been. I've had other teams I root for win championships, but nothing will ever compare to a Super Bowl win by the Bills. So until then I'm still waiting on my favorite moment as. Bills fan.

  6. I haven't posted here in probably a good four years, mostly because life gets in the way. I still read every day.

     

    That said? You, sir, have driven me to come out of my cave and post. I had this exact same thought last night, with a five year shift on the age. I'm 37 and the last time they were actually worth much of a damn? I was 16. Slowly post-Polian downhill from then on, never to dig themselves back out. I was 20 when that whole backwards lateral thing went down.

     

    Bravo for coming out of your cave, I too have been a long time lurker, and seldom poster. However my distain the past week can only be shared with my fellow Bills fans. I live in Florida now, and go every year to Miami for the game. But I am really thinking about not going this year. I feel like if the team don't care, why should I? Sometimes you can only vent to like minded individuals.
  7. The last text I sent my son, who is freshman in college, last night was one apologizing for making him a Bills fan. Poor kid was less than two yrs old for music city miracle. Has always loved the Bills (as a non-native) and they have always sucked for him - but he's always been steadfast in his fandom, even through the dreck of the last 16 years. Geez - at least we had OJ and other beloved players to root for even through bad/mediocre teams when I was a kid - he's had to live through periods where the friggin punter was considered the best player.

     

    I said last night, in 40+ years of fandom this is by far the earliest and deepest I've ever had the annual despair resignation that we suck again. Literally 5 days into the season! How pathetic to wait for months for the season to begin, and all the renewed hope and energy a new season brings, all to have it dissolve in 5 days?! WTF

     

    The difference between bad teams in the old days, as people have mentioned, was there were usually little/no expectations- and some teams were lovable losers because they had some colorful characters and at least played hard or seemed to care. This sh!tshow is too much to take - stupid selfish players doing things to let the team and fans down, no one seeming to be on the same page, no universal semblance of organization, effort or caring. And ridiculous moronic coaching that took a top 5 defense and turned it into an embarrassment. I've never seen a team that looked like it was ready to run for the bus so much 5 days into the season. WTF

    I think most of us feel exactly as you do. I don't know how to feel honestly. Do I watch and try to make myself not care? Do I walk away for a little bit? Do I try to become a casual fan? It's hard because you invest yourself into this team, year after year waiting to be rewarded. Only to be left with a broken heart again......sigh.
