Formerly Allan in MD Posted November 14, 2019 Share Posted November 14, 2019 Perhaps the real problem is that too many watch Bills games and would finally love to see them win something. It's become a ratio thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TigerJ Posted November 15, 2019 Share Posted November 15, 2019 I often stay away from TBD for a day or two after a loss. Part of it is just my way of dealing with the loss, but part is also my distaste for the blame game. It is a team game. On rare occasions a single player can be singled out as having primary responsibility for a loss, but most of the time losses happen because there are multiple failures by multiple people, not to mention on occasion the other team plays really well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't usually do this, but since there was some confusion, let me explain the mechanics of the post. I fully realize that there was no way that KtD would nym-drop any names from this board, because while it would be good for some cheap laughs in here, it's true that no one else in the fanbase would know what he's talking about. The post was really just a shout-out to some of the nitwits in here... nothing more. nothing less. As an added bonus though, one of the said nitwits was triggered enough to write an illiterate response, which ended up making the post a win-win. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree. That was my purpose for the article. I was kind of making fun of the blame game. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
