The Plunge Posted November 7, 2014 Share Posted November 7, 2014 Hello fellow Bills fans. This is a public service announcement from those who believe that it's possible to jinx a team. Now, I don't care if you believe in this sort of thing or not. I'm asking you to respect the fans who do. So far this year I've witnessed the following things said by Bills fans: 1. Week 4 (Houston): Bills are the only team in the NFL to have 0 dropped passes by WR's. You said it, a bunch of times, to everyone who would listen, and then we dropped about 8 balls that game. 2. Week 7 (Minnesota): Bills are the only team in the NFL to have NOT allowed a 20 yard run. You said it a bunch of times, to everyone who would listen, and then we allowed not one, but TWO 20 yard runs that game. 3. Week 8 (Jets): Bills haven't allowed a rushing TD yet this year. You said it a bunch of times, to everyone who would listen, and then we allow 3 rushing TD's to the Jets. Are you starting to see a pattern here? 4. This week, someone started a thread called "Who can we least afford to lose to injury". I couldn't f'ing believe this was started. You are just ASKING for an injury. This jinx was so bad, we didn't even need to wait for a game. Sammy goes down in practice. Now, I don't believe this injury is going to keep him out of the lineup for any length of time. But that's not the point. Treat this as a lesson - a jinx is a powerful thing. Would you go to a hockey game and comment on the status of the shutout (ok, bad example Sabres fans - sorry about that), or would you talk about a no-hitter halfway through the 6th inning? Of course not. Because we all know that these are things that a knowledgeable sports fan simply wouldn't do. Have some common sense here people. The next time you learn about an impressive streak or stat with your team. Digest it. Take a minute to be impressed. And then keep it to yourself. Go Bills!

The Big Cat Posted November 7, 2014 Share Posted November 7, 2014 The Bills are 4-2 against the Chiefs over the last six seasons. They've never lost twice in a row. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gray Beard Posted November 7, 2014 Share Posted November 7, 2014 People were talking about Carpenter as a money kicker. Then he missed an extra point. AN EXTRA POINT!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnwalter Posted November 7, 2014 Share Posted November 7, 2014 to be clear, jinxing is not a real thing and has no effect on the outcome of the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jauronimo Posted November 7, 2014 Share Posted November 7, 2014 to be clear, jinxing is not a real thing and has no effect on the outcome of the game. Then you'll have no trouble proving it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miyagi-Do Karate Posted November 7, 2014 Share Posted November 7, 2014 Great post. I intentionally did not open the "who would you not want to lose to injury" thread in order to try to reverse jinx it. It obviously didn't work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kelly the Dog Posted November 7, 2014 Share Posted November 7, 2014 There was a study done once that actually proved that more no hitters, complete bills of health, and wins were ruined by people screaming "you jinxed us!" than the ones originally mentioning no hitters, injuries and locks to win. It's a fact. Look it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YoloinOhio Posted November 8, 2014 Share Posted November 8, 2014 Chiefs Planet has a thread about whether they are a Super Bowl contender. They haven't won a playoff game in 21 years. They ain't 'fraid 'o no jinx. Btw the last time they did win a playoff game they had to play Buffalo next and got waxed. Yes I had to throw that in.
