CommonCents Posted November 21, 2017 Share Posted November 21, 2017 I hate to interrupt a good cry but if you weren't laughing when he threw the 5th interception you don't have a sense of humor. I'm hoping he is out there again this Sunday for entertainments sake. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buffalobloodfloridahome Posted November 21, 2017 Share Posted November 21, 2017 You can be done all you want. I think allot of the AFC is done this year. We have real opportunity this year to back into the playoffs with a losing record. NFC is dominating football and only a handful of AFC teams look decent. Patriots, Steelers and you can say but it's hard to admit Jaguars. Beyond that no team has been consistent and even those teams have shown glaring weaknesses. If we can right the ship even a little bit and win two or three more games we can make the playoffs. I know winning one game is hard to believe right now.

WhoTom Posted November 21, 2017 Share Posted November 21, 2017 I didn't quit during the Jauron years - even when he got an extension for the sake of continuity - so I'm not giving up now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KD in CA Posted November 21, 2017 Share Posted November 21, 2017 This wasn't really an 'I'm done' attempt, this was more of an 'I'm done' gesture. We'll know it's for real when it comes with the four paragraph rant that includes everything from OJ to Ralph to Peterman. In the meantime, let's give row the emotional support he needs. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jerome007 Posted November 21, 2017 Share Posted November 21, 2017 Well, I can understand the feeling. The last 3 games have been the worst 3 game stretch ever. I will watch Sunday. But if that is also horrible, not as in a loss but in another horrible blowout, I'm done... for this year. I don't even watch other games this year and I used to.

I'm at the lowest possible level now with this team, and I've been through season tickets for 2-12 and 2-14 years. Closest I came to vomiting on the 5th interception, without any booze in me. If i went to a bad home game I might consider driving right over the Peace Bridge and end it all. It's bad man but I would never consider driving off the Peace Bridge. I'm afraid of heights. I like having you around the boards. If you need to go that's cool. Nobody is obligated to be a football fan. I myself get very blue after some games that I know mean the end of another season. Some people say they enjoy the wins but do not get upset about the losses. That makes no sense to me. It goes against human nature. You either care about something or you don't. Anyway move on if you need to but maybe take a break and see. One year I saw the first game and just stopped watching the rest of the year except in the background because I knew from that game it was over already. You didn't ask for advice but something that has helped me is that I have a policy. I do not believe a single word anyone says that has anything to do with making a living off NFL football. For me that means anyone paid by the team, or in the media who make their livings covering sports, or who have an ambition to one day be paid in some way. That pretty much leaves me with believing only my own eyes and the observations of some real life and message board friends or posters. Unfortunately this year my own eyes told me something special was happening. Oh well! But at least I made my own mistake! Anyway good luck to you row_33. And if you don't eat sugar or sweets or soda pop get some ice cream and eat it. It is an amazing mood enhancer if you only use it in emergencies.

He'll be happy to help I laugh at statements like this. read TBD the last 17 years, I guaranty if management had listen to the fans our playoff drought wouldn't be 17 years. it is sad, but with this particular franchise the knowledgeable diehard Bills fan certainly does know more than management. As for me I am not done, but I have loss interest. There was a time when I never missed a home game, the thought of me missing a home game was inconceivable. I had season tickets up to last year(had them for 19 years) & the last few years I would only get to 2-4 games per year. Oh yeah I live 15 minutes from the stadium. It is heartbreaking what Bills nation has gone thru for the past 2 decades & it is not right & it is not fair. I don't think I have ever been this down on the franchise before. I doubt I will watch Sunday's game, or maybe I will just have it on the radio in the background while I put up the Christmas light. The Bills & being in the division with the Patriots where there is no end in sight to their dominance has made me feel indifferent about the NFL, I would never of thought that was possible even 5 years ago.

My [unsolicited] advice ... don't quit entirely. Maybe just make it a little less life or death. No sport or team is worth caring that much over. Maybe not getting seasons or betting on them is all you need. If all you are investing is a few hours on Sundays and not significant amounts of money you can get to a happy [or at least not gloomy] place. For me, watching the games is something my family does together at home. Our routine is I record the game and have the commercials stripped out. And we watch while eating dinner together Sundays. Skipping halftime manually makes the whole game done in less than 90 minutes. Then the kids go off and do the homework they have been putting off all weekend 4pm games SUCK for this and I hate them. Usually, like this past Sunday, we watch it live in these fairly rare cases. But it was so long and sooooooo tedious Sunday that if there are any more at that time, we'll probably watch them during Monday dinner. But in any event, don't take it so seriously and don't have a financial stake in it and I suspect you can find a way to enjoy the games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
