BuffaloRush Posted September 10, 2018 Share Posted September 10, 2018 Since the loss on Sunday, the amount of unintentional comedy in this forum is off the charts. The emotional romanticism is off the chain. There’s a lot of debate and infighting among members. There’s also some really ridiculous comments and takes, which were proposed with 100% sincerity. Four days ago people were comparing Nathan Peterman to Drew Brees, now they want to see him released. This forum is pandemonium.....this forum is fandemonium. This forum is....fantastic.

I’ve been around for 1 year but it kind of seems a little extreme after Sunday’s loss....this kind of reaction reminds me of the old Bills Bulletin Board. The only difference is the board didn’t crash on game day and the mods here are pretty cool and won’t give you infractions for saying how bad the team sucked!

Lfod Posted September 10, 2018 Share Posted September 10, 2018 (edited) The Bills were comedy gold for the Ravens. All the drive killing penalties.

LOL ok it . But I am going to coin a new term: Emotional Bills Fan Romanticism. It comes from the term romanticize. romanticize: to deal with or describe in an idealized or unrealistic fashion; make (something) seem better or more appealing than it really is. Emotional Bills Fan Romanticism is what happens here quite a bit. When people will start lamenting about former Bills players or coaches the second things go bad for the team or the second a former player has even the smallest amount of success. It's characterized by an unhealthy obsessing with remembering those former Bills players as much better than they were in actuality. I compared to this - a 50 year old man living in a one bedroom studio apartment in Lackawanna thinking back to his red-headed high school sweetheart name Lucy who he broke up with to play the field (But it's not me). The second things start going back he goes back to this romanticized version of Lucy where things were much better in his imagination than they were in back when the two dates. After yesterday's loss, the Emotional Bills Fans Romanticism reached it's peak. Someone actually lamented getting rid of Seantrel Henderson and Cyrus Koundjio. I am not kidding. You know what's next right "Oh why did we get rid of Adolphus Washington. We never should have let him go." I'm 100% serious you know. Anyway the list of players who Bills fans romanticized here over the past 24 hours includes: - Sammy Watkins - Robert Woods - Ryan Fitzpatrick - Marcel Dareus - Chris Hogan - Marquis Goodwin - Seantrell Henderson (I kid you not) - Cyrus Koundjio (I kid you not) - Preston Brown - Stephon Gilmore - Ron Darby - Nick O'Leary (Not making this one up) - Kaelin Clay And this is just from my memory.

Happy Posted September 11, 2018 Share Posted September 11, 2018 I'll take these lopsided victories with a grain of salt. In our case, Baltimore isn't as good as the score made them seem, and Buffalo isn't as bad as it seems. Baltimore is still a middle of the pack team who will come back down to earth (maybe as soon as Thursday night against the Bengals) and the Bills probably are not too far behind Balt. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A light bulb should go off If you google “emotional romanticism” in quotes, you’ll find that it’s actually a term used to describe aspects of the 18th century Romantic movement in philosophy and art and later applied to political movements developed from the philosophy What you’re describing here seems more akin to what might usually be termed nostalgia or perhaps idealized nostalgia, which is why I was vaguely curious about your use of the “emotional romanticism” term. Kinda sounds like you thought it sounded cool, and were unfamiliar with the academic usage, which is NP of course 5 minutes ago, Happy Gilmore said: I'll take these lopsided victories with a grain of salt.
