re enlightener Posted October 16, 2016 Share Posted October 16, 2016 The last 2 weeks I've been unable to watch the game. 2 weeks ago I was in STX and without a tv. This past Sunday, I was driving a Uhaul to Chicago. And not only did we win, but we won convincingly. I'm sorry Bills nation. I've watched every game since I got Sunday Ticket in 2003 (I didn't get it this year because I had zero confidence in Rex's ability to be competent). We've sucked since then. I've gone through every possible permutation of lucky shirt/hat/food/game day ritual possible. Nothing has worked... Till now. Although, I have streamed the WGR broadcast both weeks.. So I'm not completely tuned out. It brings up an troubling delimma (I just watched the 4 falls of Buffalo), all I want is to watch our Bills in the Superbowl again. For my Mom, my sisters, my family, and all of us to experience that win. But, if they get there with me not watching... How can I watch the game? I can't can I. I'm just glad the Bills are winning, even if I haven't actually seen it. ...and everyone can rest easy this week. I'll be working in NH and unable to watch this Sunday as well. please dont watch again, please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just Jack Posted October 16, 2016 Share Posted October 16, 2016 Didn't we used to have (way back when, pre-Rivals) a codified set of rules governing this? Wasn't one of them that you could - indeed, were required to - change your ritual in instance of a loss? Yes. If the Bills win, you don't change your routine until the season is over or there is a loss. So in my case, I must avoid seeing a game live.

Hapless Bills Fan Posted October 17, 2016 Share Posted October 17, 2016 The hero we need! I have not been able to watch 3 of the last 4 games. I did see the nationally televised Patriots shutout, but I have not been able to stream and watch the other 3 wins. So I think my pattern is, I can't stream a game again unless they lose (avert) but if it is televised over the air in this area I can watch it.

Freddie's Dead Posted October 17, 2016 Share Posted October 17, 2016 Don't @#$% with a winning streak. We appreciate your sacrifice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just Jack Posted October 18, 2016 Share Posted October 18, 2016 So now I'm torn. I'll be in Miami this week for work and I'm sure if I ask my boss would let me stay over Sunday for the game. But that may affect the winning streak by seeing the game live. Decisions, decisions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Wiz Posted October 18, 2016 Share Posted October 18, 2016 I broke my ritual of not wearing my bills shirt but I was asked by my 4yo after she picked out her bills shirt to wear. She may have known it was Sunday. Won't wear it next week unless she asks me to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
707BillsFan Posted October 18, 2016 Share Posted October 18, 2016 Tossing this out there...got a lucky Bills / Polish t-shirt I picked up during Dyngus Day. I've been wearing it the last 4 weeks, including under my Bills jersey in LA and BUF the last 2 weeks. I don't know what to do this week, I have to work this Sunday to cover some OT. I can't wear the red tee under my uniform (Correctional Officer)...only covering up until the first hour of the game, then for the remainder of the game it'll be on. I hope it'll still be good...not digging the fact I can't wear it for the full game. I hate breaking rituals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BUFFALOKIE Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 (edited) My Bills T-shirt will be as stout as the Bills D-line if we keep winning. Luckily I didn't get any vomit on it this week when my buddy insisted on a shot after any Bills TD or take away +1 for Shadys good health, +1 +1 +1 for the final score. I can't do that anymore. The brats were better the first time! Shirt will still be unwashed for the 5th game in a row! Edited October 19, 2016 by SAMMY HANDWICH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just Jack Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 Ah, so you're the reason!!!! I'm hoping I was just a contributing factor and that there were others that also altered their routine this week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cal Bill's Fan Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 Pick a second team to root for. You can never lose those "home team" ties....but rooting for second team will keep the NFL fun. I did that with manning and the broncos last year , how could you not love the old man and that D...anyways, my suggestion...on how to survive through these "same old Bills" games Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Augie Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 I'm hoping I was just a contributing factor and that there were others that also altered their routine this week. No, it's on YOU and I think Dareus is officially off the hook. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Posted October 23, 2016 Author Share Posted October 23, 2016 I still didn't watch... So it wasn't me! Sounds like we shoulda just let Shady rest and take the week off. And our run D ..really.. needs Mr. Big Puff back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
