1st Ammendment NoMas Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 (edited) Years ago it used to ruin my Sunday if they lost. Now it takes about an hour or so to get over it. There's been over 400 that Ive witnessed and I don't want to lose a year of my life feeling sad over the Bills decades of ineptitude.

LSHMEAB Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 I guess I'll amend that and say that there seemed to that ONE annual loss during the drought where you pretty much knew the Bills were not going to the playoffs. That one always hurt a bit. This year was pretty much a tank so none of them were rough. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

msw2112 Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 A regular season loss bothers me for a day or two. Usually it makes me a little grumpy on Monday, then I let it go. A playoff loss when there are no expectations (see last season) is about the same as a regular season game. Other playoff losses (the Giants Super Bowl, the Dallas SB where we led at the half and the Music City throwback game) still bother me to this day. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yoho Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 I guess it has a positive impact especially if it is a TV game. After a loss I will be frustrated and will turn off football for a little while I will go take a long walk to work it off. When they win I just enjoy it by watching the next game and enjoy the scrolling of the scores of a Bills win. Walking > couch potato Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChattanoogaBills Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 I used to be sad after a loss i think mainly because when i first started watching football in 1990 buffalo always seemed to ***** victory from the jaws of defeat. Then when i started gambling i would win all week (usually) and get to the finale day sunday and put it all on the bills to cover and lose it all. Now ive created a formula where i bet on buffalo every week and come out like a champ using 4 team 12 point teasers. I won big of both new England vs buffalo games this year as an example. Buffalo only let me down once maybe twice i think green bay and the first miami games this year. I seem to feel alot better if buffalo loses but i win money by betting the bills games.

JoshAllenHasBigHands Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 I will not let a loss affect my day. If I hadn't made that affirmative decision, I would be a total jerk. But I can't go so far down this rabbit hole that I start acting like a total jerk or let myself slip into a bad mood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richardb1952 Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 Depends on how they lose. I hate loses caused by missed tackles, penalties, WR drops. When they win, I'll be on this web site, I'll review the recap, and highlights and all is good with the world When they lose, I will not listen to John Murphy show for about 3 days.

Logic Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 If they "deserved" to lose, it doesn't affect me too much any more. If they lost because of a really bad call from the refs or because they snatched defeat from the jaws of victory (known in our household as "pulling a Bills"), then I'm in a pretty ***** mood for a few days. I tend to dwell on these types of losses until about Friday, when I can turn the page to the next game. Weirdly enough, a Bills WIN rarely affects the rest of my week at all. Losses hurt way worse than wins feel good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wilton Bills Posted February 1, 2019 Share Posted February 1, 2019 Season ticket holder from 1985. Drive 5 hours to each home game in the motorhome and stay in the Camper Lot. Monday is always the drive day home. Our group up later after a Bills win which makes the day a wee bit tough!!. The Super Bowl years were absolutely crazy. Our group comes various parts. Ontario, Conecticut, Rochester and Maine! True blue Bills fans and love the Sunday night victory party!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
