Lfod Posted November 21, 2017 Share Posted November 21, 2017 (edited) People laying it on pretty thick. A couple little jokes or some words of encouragement was really all that was needed in my opinion. More wood for the fires of our neighbors.

Was putting snow tires on son's vehicle, then we went out to dinner. While driving, I asked for one and needed only one update. I am as fresh a daisy when it comes to the Bills. Missed the worst pasting ever. I am in for the haul! What more can go wrong! They can't toss 6 next week. Same here; I was planting trees with the Girl Scouts. Checked the phone once, saw the INT total and figured it would at least be a fun week on this board! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe I'm reading you wrong, but it sounds like if we were 8-2 or 9-1, you would be cheering us on?!?! Forgetting the part about what it does to kids and men on the field. Be real, man! You're pissed we suck. Has nothing to do with the safety of children and men. Again, that's if I'm not reading you wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob's House Posted November 22, 2017 Share Posted November 22, 2017 I can relate to what OP's feeling. I'm sure I'll tune in next season but for now apathy has set in. I still peruse the site out of habit, but I'm really not interested enough to click on many threads. The only thing I find interesting about football right now is my fantasy team and the 2018 draft class. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Assuming that the Bills make the playoffs any time before 2030 might be a tad optimistic given the brilliance of the current coaching regime and the team's play on the field.

Their names are Sam Reinhart and Jack Eichel. The problem is Reinhart/Eichel are not equal to Kane/Toews or Crosby/Malkin. Still can't believe we endured an entire season of tank hockey, some of the worst in the history of the franchise...an entire season...for Sam Reinhart. He's not that good.

Yeah, you're right. I just don't care as much. I have zero faith in this team. I watch when I can. Probably, should have went to the Chargers game, but spent it with the kiddo at hockey. I mean, crap like that may have an effect on why I care a lot less. I mean, I was in the last 6 in the survivor pool in this league for the board and the Bills lost to the Jets, after I broke my rule and wagered on them in any capacity. I wear rose glasses when it come to the Bills. A lot of us do. It is just that the razors didn't come until I bit into the cake. Again. Yeah, I am miserable about it. I want Peterman to run the first drive and then Tyrod to have some ungodly fire lit under his ass for the second. It does not matter. Throw it all at the wall and see what sticks. Hell, run both QBs, maybe a college gimmick will help the team. For now. Edited November 22, 2017 by Paulus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They would probably draft a DB or RB or trade back to the middle of first round for a couple of thirds and a sixth that could become a fifth.

The Frankish Reich Posted November 22, 2017 Share Posted November 22, 2017 (edited) There is something so heartwarming about the cycle of the seasons. The obligatory R-E-L-A-X post, followed by the "(Increasingly Far-Fetched) Scenarios in Which We Still Make the Playoffs," which will always be followed by the "I'm Officially Done With This Team" post, which will weirdly incur the wrath of other fans posting snarky "have a good life" responses. There is kind of a lull right about now, but then the annual firings and talk of wildly improbable trade rumors and ridiculous suggestions of free agent acquisitions (prediction: this year's version will feature Drew Brees) will serve to carry us well into the new year. And then we will all be back in the fold by the time of the draft, with many comments about how we're winning the offseason again, which is kind of as important as winning in the real season to a Bills fan. Happy Thanksgiving, Bills faithful! Edited November 22, 2017 by The Frankish Reich 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
