GOBILLS78 Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 I go through every one of these during every single Bills game. Also, I have learned the laugh-when-everything-falls-apart method, which should feel good, but makes me want to jump off a bridge. At that point, I turn to the ol' reliable oh-it's-just-a-game routine, which works decently until I turn on the 4 o'clock game and realize how cool it is to watch good teams make plays. And it all starts anew. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dave mcbride Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 I qualify as a #9, a #10 (incongruously given that I'm a #9), and definitely a #17. But most of all, I'm a #9, and yes, my family members hate watching games with me. I have played the role of a #12 before (watching postseason games with Phillies fans). Also, the author of the piece is absolutely correct: there's no one worse than a #14. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bowery4 Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 (edited) 11 but at least it is my lucky number. So, I am definitely a 4 too. Edited May 23, 2013 by bowery4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KD in CA Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 #9 is a common type among Bills fans. #9 is so common with Bills fans because it's so easy to see the meltdowns coming. I mean seriously, did anybody really think they were getting out of Foxboro with a W in the Leodis fumble game? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chandler#81 Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 #9 is so common with Bills fans because it's so easy to see the meltdowns coming. I mean seriously, did anybody really think they were getting out of Foxboro with a W in the Leodis fumble game? Or even the Cowboy MNF game. THAT took other-worldly intervention with a 9 point lead and a minute to play. But ALL of us feared it and -Dammit!- the Demi-Gods delivered... @Marauderswr80: Me too..

Westside Madness Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 When we has Losman, I dreaded us having the ball...lol. Wanted our D on the field all the time... As of late, the games start on a positive note (early score or forcing an early 3 and out)...puts me on a high...only to be crash by the 2Q.

Gordio Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 It's funny you say this. My dog has been "conditioned" to think whenever I utter the F word that I am furious about something. She cowers to her chair (AKA, my recliner) and I have to comfort her and tell her Daddy's not mad. I blame it on the Bills and the Mets. I am with you with the Bills & Mets. Mets I started rooting for in 1983 when I was 10 years old & the Bills 1986(Kelly's first year). 30 years as a Mets fan & 27 years as a Bills fan & one friggin championship to show for it. I would not even know how to act if one of these teams were a team that won multiple championships. I actually think in some sick distorted way it would take the fun out of being a fan & become boring. At least that is what I keep telling myself. #9 is so common with Bills fans because it's so easy to see the meltdowns coming. I mean seriously, did anybody really think they were getting out of Foxboro with a W in the Leodis fumble game? Funny you mention that. I was at a bar watching that game. Huge crowd, bar is going nuts. I kept saying to anybody that would listen "ah their going to f*ck it up somehow." People were actually getting pissed at me. The worst part is I started believing they would actually win this game for the 1st time all night just right before Mckelvin fumbled. I was with about 8 guys & my wife was with me also. When they lost we all walked out of the bar not saying a word to each other. My wife said, "aren't you going to at least say goodbye to your friends?" I looked at her & in a tone only a disgusted broken heart Bills fan could say "F*ck them." & got in the car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
first_and_ten Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 I'm 9,10, and 11 mostly....my wife can be a 14 with the 'its only a game" or "they gave it a good try" speech which I cannot take at that moment in time. Although I know she really doesn't care that much she does pretend to care for my sake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Over 29 years of fanhood Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 vintage 2 here and I also dispute 11. Knowledgable fans can still express disbelief in a play by asking what are you doing? There are definitely times I wondered aloud what fitz was doing like when he threw a second interception to Corey Webster v giants in a one score game with that deep left sideline underthrow. We saw him not make that throw for consecutive weeks and once earlier that game. Seriously WTF was he doing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
8-8 Forever? Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 16. But I don't go for walks, I turn the TV off and pace around the room saying that's enough of this BS. 5 min later I can't stand it and turn the set back on. Dead on. 16. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris heff Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 I am primarily a 2 and a 4. I am continually chastised by my wife for shouting F¥€K! I use to have a pair of lucky Bills socks. My nephew gave them to me in the 1980s, awesome red, white and blue tube socks with Bills Logo. I can throw in some 6, for example "why would you not go for two? I don't care if there is ten minutes left" or " why would you punt from the 32 indoors?" I am a 17 and readily admit it. I only like to watch Bills games with other Bills fans, four max. I prefer that they are related to me. I hate watching with friends that are fans of other teams. I have a good friend that is a Jet fan. He always wants to watch Bills Jet games with me. I f¥€king hate it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haplo848 Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 #2, 12, and 18. I say 12 because the best place to watch Bills games (or any football games, whatsoever) in my town also happens to be a Steelers bar. I hate the Steelers. And it's worse, cause one of my friends is a Steelers fan, and we normally hang out there during games. So definitely a #12. #2 and #18 alternate, depending on where I am and who I'm with.

Optometric Insight Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 I think it all depends on how deep into the season it is. From starting at the beginning of the season, i'm a 2 and a variation of 3 (usually a soft "nonononono" to myself while a big play is happening). As it goes it wears on, i become a 10 and an 11. When hope hops on the train leading out of town, i'll become a 16 and a 6. Long after the train has gone out of sight but you're still sitting there waving is where i turn into an 18. At the end of it all, i might tear up a little, become a 6 for a minute while i think how or why i thought this year was different or i became such an involved fan. I'm always a 4 though; i have a lucky ball that can never touch the ground during the game unless you want apocalyptic things to happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Wiz Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 Mostly #4.
