We're all Bills fans. Why accuse otherwise?

Recommended Posts

Folks, TBD's getting divided like crazy, and that's understandable. We're going through a rough season. 

 

I think I can speak for many on the board when some of us get the "you're not a Bills fan" accusation. Really? We just post on a Bills board, and watch every game and desperately root to win. Every. Week. It's asinine to throw around someone's fandom.

 

Understand that some of us have patience to see if Beane's process will work out eventually and have a strong conviction in this. Understand that others don't like a GM responsible for what we're seeing right now. Call it being competitive, some people are rooting for a win week in and week out. I was psyched to see Josh Allen with time to pull of a comeback on Sunday. And then a series of comical failures eliminated us from the game in the time it takes for me to go to the restroom. 

 

That's called an emotional roller coaster. I didn't like what happened week 1 and week 2. If that doesn't make me and anybody else a fan to feel that way, then what the heck is a fan to begin with?

 

Anyways, post your Fitz memes below.

This is a bit strange I must say.  

 

What's the connection between addressing potentially turning on each other and Fitz memes?

let's stop hating each other and find common ground in a funny Fitz story?

part of the fun on here

 

 

wish the fun was due to excellent play by the Bills

 

100% agree. Super fun to argue. But not when people are legit losing their **** with other posters. Haven't even seen this during the Rex Ryan years lol.

See...  the "desperately root to win" is not always the case.  It is PERFECTLY acceptable to be critical EVEN pessimistic, however,  fandom leaves the building when people gloat in the Bills' miserable games.  The act of someone wanting to be right OFTEN trumps cheering for success. Finally,  can you HONESTLY say there aren't "fans" wanting to see Allen fail because they are mad about Tyrod?  Or they wanted Mahomes?  Or they wanted Watson?  Or wanted Rosen? etc..   Yeah thought so

losing it is entertaining

 

giving it back in a good way is entertaining

 

people shocked that people lose it is puzzling

man this is what I'm talking about you're projecting what you think other people are thinking! I haven't seen a Rosen post at all in games, felt like 90% of people were excited to see Allen in action.

 

I've mostly just been Beane bashing. I didn't gloat about Peterman's week 1 performance or career to date, more like.. "WHO MADE THIS DECISION" cause you know.. it was a bad decision. I'm not happy to be right when I thought Peterman shouldn't have started. But i was angry he did and let it be known.

okay I suppose you're right. It is fun to see people lose it. I'm just starting to get really pissed off at posters now haha. My conspiracy theorist mind believes a paid social media team is all over TBD with the posts that look so similar, no matter the poster, or record, or score. You know what I'm talking about lol. the "you guys, this is all part of the plan. This is EXACTLY what the staff wants". The paid Bills media team is working overtime and copy and pasting their favorite lines from their shared word doc and it's pissing me off!

Look back at BOTH game threads.  There were Darnold,  Fitz, Tyrod and other QBs that people wanted more in them - no projection needed just reading comprehension.

 

PS I was NOT an Allen fan.  For the record over a year ago I wanted Mayfield when it was thought he would go at the end of the first round. He IS growing on me though.

Well there's your answer.  We can't go ONE STINKING POST without turning on him for asking for Fitz memes.

common ground. I realized my post was too sissy so I had to throw in something to save it. worked like a charm

well yeah I did tell people to shut up about Tyrod and Mahomes in the last game thread, but screw those guys that only post on gameday. I'm talking about the REAL TBD posters!

Well NOW you are changing the bar. Why are there "REAL TBD posters" vs imposters BUT it can't be generalized to "REAL BILLS fans" vs imposters.

I didn't think it was "sissy" but I do need to point out there hasn't been a Fitz meme posted since yours.

Worked like a charm in that.. I don't know. I don't care! I just threw that in at the end cause he looks like a badass after my sissy OP.

 

I'm a Bucs fan dude.

If you are truely a Bucs fan, please do enjoy how you are feeling right now.

 

2 things are soon to happen:

1) Jameis controversy will torment the franchise

2) after Fitz win the controversy the real fitz will show up, consecutive losses will stack up, and will will have to love him and hate him at the same time for the rest of the season until yourfranchise is left with nothing...

Might be true, but I'm still putting in a fantasy waiver claim on OJ Howard. Dude is balling.

Top 3 suggestions to Bills fans on how to chillax and take a step back from the edge:

1) Watch the NE @ Jags game.  Get a trial of Game Pass and check it out if you don't have it.  I am no way a Jags fan but watching the Jags dissect NE on both sides of the ball, I could feel the tension draining out of me.   Even my non-football loving family strolling understood how enjoyable that was for me.  That was so sweet

2) Watch the Tampa at N'Orleans and Tampa at Iggles games.  Being Bills fans, we all like to cheer for the underdog.  Watching Shag-face the Rapper (or whoever he was***) out-QB the SB winners was the Snoop Dog of Underdog celebrations.  OK I guess that's two suggestions, but who's counting?

3) Grapefruit and Rosemary mojitos.  Shout out to @Johnny Hammersticks for the suggestion.  After 2-3 of these guys, you'll be floating off into a rosy future where Allen and Edmunds are Franchise, McDermott a top-tier coach, and Tom Brady's body spontaneously disassembles into component parts like a dime-store Halloween skeleton during the pre-game warmups on 29 Oct.
