Hello everyone, first post, long time reader.
I am glad to see some optimism on this forum, as such is rare for most of my daily stadium wall reading. I have nothing against those who post negative and angry statements regarding our beloved buffalo bills, to me it is more their love for the game and this team that brings out the emotion. Call it constructive criticism. I was born and raised in Salem, OR. My father attended the state university in buffalo, and given the lack of a close to home nfl franchise I latched onto the bills at a young age.
There is my history, (for all intensive purposes) and here comes my point.
Is there one person who did not have excitement in the Miami game when Lee Evans caught three TD passes in the in first quarter? Or how about when we actually beat KC? Yes we lost ended up with a loss to Miami and it was gut wrenching. Yes the KC bliss was short lived and not an impact in any way on the NFL or the league's view of the bills. But it was the press and other NFL fans nay- saying that made these events so energizing to a fan such as myself. I could actually SEE the bills making plays! Short bursts and short lived but WOW!
That being said, The struggle we all claim to hate actually has it's positives.
Hungry = more appreciation for that meal.
Dead broke = more appreciation for that scrill.
The "I told you so" is a dish just waiting to be served by (hopefully) millions of bills fans everywhere. If I could adequately describe the feeling in my veins as I watched the bills murder the Seahawks on November 28th, 2005, Goosebumps would soon follow.
Thank you for reading if you did, and here's to a more positive outlook on a good, bad, or even scattered 2006 season!
