Then you sit around waiting to drum up the courage to do something. And that's the hardest part. That's what really irks me about starting Peterman last week. "Hey, we're 5-4, in the playoff hunt, and we always suck on the West Coast. It's the PERFECT time to give the rookie QB his first start!" I can't think of a dumber coaching decision I've ever seen. Throw him to the wolves against the Cheaters. That worked really well for JP's confidence. "It's only the Chargers, we zip in to the West Coast, get a win and get out... It's like going to Wisconsin." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Call_Of_Ktulu Posted November 21, 2017 Share Posted November 21, 2017 Just tail gate and don't watch or go to the games. The first few weeks I was getting by on watching the defense then changing the channel, now I cannot watch either. All I have left is kickoffs and field goals but I have to be fast with the clicker.

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. I lurked for a few years and joined in 2009. If management had listened to fans with the intention of making decisions regarding the team, they would have gone insane. Look across the spectrum of views on this message board and you'll be hard pressed to find common ground on whether or not people even like this team, let alone some magical consensus on how to run it. I think the fact that management in this drought hasn't shown to be smarter than the average fan is a big part of the problem. The thought of a single, lonely, little Christmas light makes me sad. Soldier on, solitary yule luminescence. In light of this annual Bills collapse, the only hope for our holiday cheer rests with you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And how you presented it is my point... you are frustrated and disheartened about what is/has been going. You are NOT saying I am done as you continue. It would analogous to "I am breaking up with you and you will NEVER hear from me again!!" not hearing anything back and then calling an hour later and saying "I REALLY mean it!! I am done with you!" ..... no you're not! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah we got relocated there for the Saints game bc some sea hag decided to spew her entire tailgate all over our seats right at kickoff. Unfortunately that was the highlight of the day. It is nice up there though, I’ll give you that. Just don’t think I’d like to be up there if the game mattered, I like it when my section gets rowdy. It’s a party when things are going well.

Nick the Greek Posted November 21, 2017 Share Posted November 21, 2017 This past game has been really hard for me. I said I wouldn’t let the Bills get me down anymore but man, do they ever find new, interesting ways to lose. Like starting a ROOKIE QB and setting a new record for INTs, when we are in the playoffs mix no less. whatever, go BILLS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fadingpain Posted November 21, 2017 Share Posted November 21, 2017 (edited) This place is like a broken record in many ways. If you stick around here for a season or 2, you quickly see it all, and then how it all repeats itself over, and over, and over, and over. So here we have the "I'm done" thread followed by pages of "See ya later!" or "don't let the door hit you in the ass" comments. Next in the cycle is the post made by the OP in which he acknowledges he is back and couldn't really leave. That will come in a week or 2.

The last three games were about as bad as you can get so I understand feeling down on the Bills. It would be easy to just start following the Patriots and feel like winners. I can't leave my team. They like a kid you have that isn't perfect but you love them anyway. Still bail them out of jail even while saying how stupid they are. Am I wrong thinking if this team had a losing season everybody would be more relaxed touting the moniker "rebuild"? That the real reason for the hurt is missing the playoffs because we in a drought and that's all that matters? The new regime is getting dumped to early in my view. My analogy was just a kid with a learning difficulty, you know, struggled with the alphabet or counting, but bailing out of jail... Lfod, that escalated my parenting anxiety. ?
