Many fans are afraid, very afraid. We have something special here. We're Bills' fans, though. Our past consists of losing four straight Super Bowls, Wide Right, 13 Seconds...so fans are terrified that at some point the wheels are coming off the bus.
So, yesterday gave those fans a chance to panic, to feel like "See! There it is! It's happening again! I knew it! We can't have nice things!"
In some, it's just a conditioned reflex at this point, sadly.
