ThurmasThoman Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 depressed? saw some great things from our first stringers this year when we were healthy. were 5-2, atop the conference, beat the pats and rolling. lost our prime talent. can't wait til next year. people are mad that the bills have had a bad decade, say we need to rebuild. we have starter quality talent this far into the rebuilding process, but now people are mad we don't have the depth. next year, with more depth, people are going to be mad that we can only go 10-6 and get a wild card. in 2 years, when were 13-3 and division champs, people are going to be mad that we didn't make the super bowl. in 3 years, people are going to be upset that the prognosticators aren't picking us to go back to back as champions. im just enjoying the ride, GO BILLS!

All_Pro_Bills Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 Ha! The writer obviously hadn't checked WNY weather this December. It has been relatively mild! So there! It got cold! Wow. While I don't live in WNY any longer (in NJ now) I cannot really recall people ever complaining or bemoaning about the cold and snow. It was just something you dealt with. If you want to, you can look at any place in the world and find negatives about the weather or life there in general. Things like: Hurricanes. Mud Slides Wild Fires Floods Droughts Oppressive 100+ degree heat at midnight (you can't even go outside) Earthquakes Tornados Red Necks Nobody that speaks English Religious fanatics Serial killers Traffic Generally uncivil social norms People who can’t figure out how to drive in snow! Here’s a clue – it’s slippery! Holiday wishes to Bills fans everywhere and perhaps another win before the end of the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bbb Posted December 17, 2011 Author Share Posted December 17, 2011 Ha! The writer obviously hadn't checked WNY weather this December. It has been relatively mild! So there! Yeah, I actually knew the article was stupid, but I just posted it because we were number one. They seem to do this weekly or at least every so often............Couldn't the writer have at least checked how our weather had been before they made that the centerpiece of their argument? And, relatively mild? It's been ridiculous. It's December 17th and I've seen less than one inch of snow so far! (It was one of only four times that there was no snow that stuck to the ground before December 1st)...........I'd like some snow about now to make it seem more like Christmas!

Billy in 4C Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 Stupid article. But, last week's tailgate was pretty depressing. It was by far the least amped up fans have been all year for a game. Not as much drunkenness and fights like we would typically have when we are out of it and play a bad game. People just stood there and didn't cheer - pretty weak overall. No emotion. Let's hope the fans show up for the Miami game. I hate this team the most in the NFL from our rivalry back in the Marino days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hammered a Lot Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 I meant the Titans home game Lack of fights? That's easy. The Bus lot was pretty empty compared to other games.

Arkady Renko Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 The premise of the article is right. The problem is that they did not probe the causes very well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was suprised how mild the atmosphere was - mild tailgating, drinking, cheering, fighting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KollegeStudnet Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 (edited) I will feel less depressed...when this team cuts ties with Fitz--trades up to get a QB to groom and gets itself a veteran QB to help the rookie with the learning curve Who knows we might actually win games...instead of resting on "noodle arm" and his 9-20'something record the past two seasons Edited December 17, 2011 by KollegeStudnet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
