    It's just how some are in general. I'm sure we have all worked with that one dude who constantly complains and always knows best, real fun people to be around.

    Actually, some jobs require a skeptical outlook to maintain consistent productivity and success, where blind optimism would lead to repeated failure. Not all humans are the same thankfully.

    And the non-believers just need to go back to games like week 17 against the Fish.

     

    We've had seasons where fans were saying the same kinds of things about Fitz...  The Bills need to put together not only a stretch of games to make a playoff push, they need to put together seasons to consistently be a contender.  Allen is a 50/50 prospect right now on whether he can lead the team to consistent success, or be another QB failure in the long line of Buffalo QB failures.  He certainly has the potential to break the team out of their losing habits, but it's only potential at this point.

    Maybe stop watching then? I'm sure someone can let ya know when they are good again, and you can jump right back into being a true fan. Just a suggestion?

    I can watch and B word all I want, fan prerogative. It's up to the team to give fans something to cheer or B word about, not the fans.

    Trust me, I get it. I've been watching this team since 1968 and  have gone through far more lows than highs - like every other Bills fan. However, I still go into each and every season the same way: Optimistic and full of hope. Why not? It's just a game.

     

    I was spoiled, I started rooting in 86.  It got good real quick. I have very little optimism for Buffalo sports, I need the teams to start showing me something.

    Get ready - there are some on this board who will treat optimism like it's a communicable disease...

     

    Well, it has been a vicious cycle the last 20 or so years.  Off season optimism getting crushed pretty much as soon as the games start, yet the optimism is there every year.  You would think there would be more "show me what you got" type Bills fans out there, but it seems like optimism still wins out during the off season and even during a season that isn't going all that well.
