Is any fanbase more in sync with their team? More emotionally wedded to their team? More anxious when the heart of the team maybe doesn't feel quite... in rhythm?
This may be hyperbole, but I feel as if BB MD is using the body of Buffalo Bills Fandom as a gauge for the extent to which the heart of this team; players AND coaches, can be resuscitated. A lot of people here have said it, not just me... I've never been more anguished; and more in grief over this team, than I was in January. I had to completely unplug. I'm sure the team sees it on social media, call in shows, podcast streams, etc. For many, the extreme detachment this year was real.
I get it... the salary cap is real; but Beane did not have to be so hardcore about it... Well, like I began to say; Beane got out the AED machine... Assuming the TV shows are right, the first shock is not the strongest. You want to make sure you don't over shock the system. But... you do come in strong... make the ticking time and effort worth a try. CLEAR!!!!! (Poyer, Morse, Hyde) thump... no reaction from the body.
CLEAR!!!!! (Davis, Neal, Jackson, Matakevitch, Von Miller paycut) thump... no reaction
CLEAR!! (Tre White) the body shifts a bit... still not enough.
CLEAR!!! (Diggs trade!)
And at last... the body of the Buffalo Bills Fanbase is convulsing on the table: spitting, trembling and groaning, but the pulse is back people! The will to fight together again... to live another day and struggle for survival and success. Put another way,... they've hooked me again, lol
