DisplacedBillsFan Posted January 7, 2018 Share Posted January 7, 2018 My life revolves around football so much I often forget there's actually most of a year between now and the start of next year. I'm always counting down to the next season, and it sometimes makes it seem as though spring and summer go by too quickly as the excitement for football and a fresh season builds. With the 2018 season set to kick off on September 6th, we have 242 days to live between now and the new season. So put the draft, OTAs, and training camp aside for the moment. What will you use the 242 days for? I hope to drop a little weight, run a Spartan race in August, and finish my dissertation and finally wrap up my Ph.D. before the next season starts. What will you use the time for? What goals do you have where you'll be able to look back and be proud of how you used your 242 days? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobH063 Posted January 7, 2018 Share Posted January 7, 2018 I'm retired so I'll look forward to the draft, then get geared up for baseball season. I'll go camping 6-8 times this summer, make some stuff in my woodshop, go see some baseball games, and take each day as it comes. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xwnyer Posted January 7, 2018 Share Posted January 7, 2018 if it ever warms up I will be glad to be out fishing on Sunday afternoons and won't watch another game till the Superbowl. But hate the fact the Cheaters will be back and win again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GunnerBill Posted January 7, 2018 Share Posted January 7, 2018 I'm way behind on my draft process so I need to crack on with that in the next 4 or 5 weeks. I'd like to at least have my Quarterback assessments up by mid Feb. Once the draft is out of the way I won't watch much football until pre-season. I will do a couple of small projects looking at different bits of tape from the season on certain players or teams that I find interesting.... and then I'll ready myself for next September and cheering for the Bills once more. Let's go Buffalo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Can't wait"! Go Bills. Sounds like an offseason Patriot. Traitor! Seriously, this is why they have Spring Training. Perfectly coincides with the end of football season.

It's amazing to think about the amount of time between seasons and the things that can be accomplished in that time. 1 minute ago, Buddy Hix said: I need to drop some pounds too, that is my goal for this offseason. I'm hoping it will be easier with snacking on Saturday and Sunday a lot more limited with no football on TV. I'll get back to actually being a little productive on weekends! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McBean Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 Welcoming my first child in 8 weeks. Going to spend time with my baby girl, improve my marriage, and grow my business as a financial advisor. I’ll pretty much stay sports free until training camp. Heck of a ride fellas. 2017 season will be one that I’ll never ever forget. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
