Cru Jones Posted November 16, 2009 Share Posted November 16, 2009 I got a little exited for lees first TD but after watching TE for a few series and having Chris Johnson on my fanatsy team my emotions were a kind of guilty rage mixed with hoplessnes.

jester43 Posted November 16, 2009 Share Posted November 16, 2009 i had a great day- i intentionally did not watch or listen or check for one single score from start to finish. did you guys know it was absolutely gorgeous out? just beautiful beautiful great day to be alive. i saw the final score 45 minutes ago for the first time and had a great big belly laugh. i was very productive and i threw ZERO f-bombs. good for you, ralph: you're killing the team! happy? i didn't watch, so i was. i fully intend to skip next week's game too...it's awesome, you guys should try it!

Chalkie Gerzowski Posted November 16, 2009 Share Posted November 16, 2009 can you watch the game and invoke a sense / aura of schadenfreude??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloinLA Posted November 16, 2009 Share Posted November 16, 2009 I have been a Bills fan since I was a kid the 60's, and my dad has had season tickets since 1961. I now live in LA and [unfortunately] made my 12 year old into a Bills Fan (whuch means he has not seen a playoff game since he has been out of diapers]. Not only have I lost all emotion for the Bills (Last night I took the Bills magnets off of our fridge) I actually root for them to lose - because that is the only way that Ralph will make any changes. I feel no obligation of loyalty to a team that feels no loyalty to its fans. As one person so aptly commented [paraphrased]: "How can a bunch of no-nothing fans no MORE than so-called experts at OBD!

udonkey Posted November 16, 2009 Share Posted November 16, 2009 I hear you... The Bills will be 200 miles from me next Sunday. I can get tickets for next to nothing, have a free place to crash, etc. Furthermore, my college team has a bye week, so no other football games to hold my interest. I'm not going...I just don't care. Only reason I logged on here was to see what the final score was, as I haven't paid attention to the NFL in the last several weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SlamnSam Posted November 16, 2009 Share Posted November 16, 2009 So bad my 12 year old son turned the game off in the 4th quarter. I feel so bad for him because it was me who brainwashed him into being a Bills fan. I am sad to say it but this is my last year for season tickets. This was year 19.

CDogg20 Posted November 16, 2009 Share Posted November 16, 2009 Yeah, im glad im not the only one who felt this way. Usually on Sunday my household is loud because im yelling at the t.v. Today I just didnt care. Hopefully this changes soon. I mean I still watch them because they're my Bills but I cant say I really cared about the game. No emotion for the good plays because the bad would soon follow... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I skipped the Miami game and have never seen even a single play from it. Also tailgated for Cleveland and then skipped the game and went home because I felt it would be unwatchable. Days well spent. I watched today because I didn't feel like staying home but didn't want to do any yard work. It was comforting to see Trent back. Checking down every other drop back. His checkdowns actually lead to some first downs today. You missed it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
basskik11 Posted November 16, 2009 Share Posted November 16, 2009 So I turn on the game today, cozy up to the TV with some wings and pizza and a nice tall Blue Moon. Watch the first half and realized something. My emotion was gone. I didn't react to a single good play or bad play. I watched as if I was viewing a documentary on atomic theory. In 20+ years of being a Bills fan I've never felt nothing. Today I felt nothing. I'm afraid they may have killed my very last cell of caring. i felt the EXACT same way!

billnutinphoenix Posted November 16, 2009 Share Posted November 16, 2009 I have followed this team since 1986 and I have to admit I can't wait until we get a coach and Personnel guy here to get excited about...Thought we had it with Donahoe, but he was a dud...Hope springs eternal....

Just Jack Posted November 16, 2009 Share Posted November 16, 2009 Leaving Sam's Club last night, the guy at the door that checks your receipt saw my Bills sweatshirt and said something about the Bills winning today. I said probably not. He replied that I can't quit on the team, I replied that I hadn't quit, just didn't care anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fan in San Diego Posted November 16, 2009 Share Posted November 16, 2009 Did they play today? I was out enjoying myself. Sold a motorcycle and bought a new 2010 Toyota Corolla for my daughter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gflande1 Posted November 16, 2009 Share Posted November 16, 2009 Its hard to care when they do something good, when you know its going to be negated by 10 bad plays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In 20+ years of being a Bills fan I've never felt nothing. Today I felt nothing. I'm afraid they may have killed my very last cell of caring. I had to run a basketball practice for my 10 year old daughter's team. Had to leave at 1:30 and did not get home until 3:30. Normally would have driven me batty--I did not even check the score -- even though it would have been easy to. During the water breaks from practice, I threw the football with the other coach's son--who is one of the better sophomore high school football players in our area. He is a 6'1" wide receiver with great hands and speed. My 49 year old arm still has a little life -- it was fun. The older I get I realize that being a fan is supposed to bring joy. When it doesn't -- its a chore -- I have enough chores already in my life -- don't need any more. Buffalo Bills....I had a great day without you. When things change -- and it brings joy to be a fan -- I'll be back, but until then--sorry--I have more joyful things to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least you made the effort to order the pizza and wings and cozy up to the couch...I didn't even bother to get out of bed until the game was over and I, still to this minute, have not seen as much as a highlight from that game... ...happy to say, its not that bad a night.

In 20+ years of being a Bills fan I've never felt nothing. Today I felt nothing. I'm afraid they may have killed my very last cell of caring. Had the same experience today too, man. I remember how upset I was week 1 when we blew the lead on the Pats. I couldn't even speak to anyone for the rest of the night because I was so pissed off. Contrast that with today, and it's like I did an emotional 180. I wasn't really "in position" at 1pm, but I eventually got around to finding the game on JTV. At some point durign the first half, I fell asleep and didn't wake up until after the 4pm games had gotten well underway. I saw the final score of the Bills game appear at the bottom of the screen and it didn't really stir up anything inside of me. They gave up 41 pts? Eh, who cares. I'll never love another team more than I do the Bills until the day I die. That's just how it is and that's how it will always be. But there is just nothing about this team right now that is of any concern whatsoever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
