Well, you have the patience of a saint! If we don't turn it around eventually though, you will not have a team to root for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see your point, but I also accept that others aren’t able to self regulate as easily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My son said he wanted to be a Bills fan and I sold him to a Merchant in Pakistan. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wagon127 Posted October 2, 2018 Share Posted October 2, 2018 I will always be a bills fan. But being a Bills fan, doesn't mean I need to watch every single game, or listen to bills talk radio 7 days a week. It doesn't mean getting season tickets. It just means you follow the team. If the team is going to suck this bad, as they have shown so far, I probably will stop watching games. I'll check the score on my phone, but that's about it. That's where I have been with the sabres the last few years. Its ok, you don't have to stop being a bills fan entirely. It also is ok to pick a 2nd team to route for, a band wagon to follow for this year. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nedboy7 Posted October 2, 2018 Share Posted October 2, 2018 This season feels way more depressing than anything in the last 17 years. Oh what am I saying!?!? I’m fully on board w this garbage. Sorry to get negative for a moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, 15 years ago when the “when Ralph dies” crowd was spewing doom and gloom. Bet you were one of them, huh?

LABILLBACKER Posted October 2, 2018 Share Posted October 2, 2018 (edited) 41 minutes ago, I'm Spartacus said: OP, I understand where you are coming from. I'm 61 now & went to the old Rock Pile to see the Bills. In my 30's, 40's, and early part of my 50's - I got too emotionally involved in the Bills when they always looked terrible (except the 90's Bills). I've learned to let it go, to keep my sanity and stress level down. With the Packer's game Sunday, I actually turned off the game and watch some 1960's western movie. The movie was very enjoyable. Good strategy. I'm a 59 yr old fan for 50 years. After watching Mahomes last night and wishing for a different outcome, I just don't know how much longer I can be that obsessed Bill's fan. Maybe like others have suggested just take a step back. Watch from afar. Reduce the stress and play more golf & fish. I've passionately followed my UCLA football team for the same time period and I'm tired of them too. Tired of waiting. There's gotta be more to life than this. A good John Wayne movie is better than this. Edited October 2, 2018 by LABILLBACKER Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So wait, you dont watch the team's games because of your very active personal life, however you find time to visit a Bills specific message-board to discuss a team you dont watch? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
machine gun kelly Posted October 2, 2018 Share Posted October 2, 2018 You just can’t let it get to you. Focus on you’re family and work. I turned off too. In the 3rd quarter and I have the ticket as well. I just couldn’t watch it anymore. i certainly hope we improve, but the is Allen’s year to. Develop. As everyone knows, we have no line nor WR Corp. we just have to hopeAllen learns from his mistakes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
