DisplacedBillsFan Posted January 18, 2021 Share Posted January 18, 2021 If there was one thing that always brought a ton of excitement it was the process of searching for a new coach and GM. I look around at all of these other teams and read the news about interviews and new coaches addressing the media and we’re here with all this continuity. It’s almost like realizing I may never get that first kiss again. I’m in year 4 of a marriage, and sure we’re doing new things and it’s still exciting at times, but it’s the same person. I may be stuck for life with the same person. I guess I’ll TRY to focus on and get pumped for the AFC Championship game instead of focusing on what other teams are doing. 1 21 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jethro_tull Posted January 18, 2021 Share Posted January 18, 2021 the grass isn't always greener my bills fan friend. franchise players do not grow on trees and neither do franchise general managers or coaches. they are rare birds indeed. we are fortunate to not need the excitement and hope that comes from rebuilding. we are in a much better place. rest your excitement on the things that this team has yet to achieve.

Rc2catch Posted January 18, 2021 Share Posted January 18, 2021 I don’t think this coaching cycle is very good so I’m even more thankful to have our guys in place. Somehow we might escape with our front office and staff still in place. Which is crazy.

DQW87 Posted January 18, 2021 Share Posted January 18, 2021 It is very strange having your GM, Your coach, and your QB all set for years to come. No wonder the Patriots were good for so long.

dollars 2 donuts Posted January 18, 2021 Share Posted January 18, 2021 (edited) Are we really going to waste time with a b*** s*** thread like this when we have the golden opportunity to sign Chris Hogan to get us over this WR hump for the Super Bowl run?!

Miyagi-Do Karate Posted January 18, 2021 Share Posted January 18, 2021 The “first kiss” analogy doesn’t work here. I think the more apt analogy is this— hiring a new coach or GM is like filing for bankruptcy and having to start over. Your Credit is terrible, you still owe a bunch of money, you have a lot of problems, and your future prospects are risky and unknown. No thanks.

Nextmanup Posted January 18, 2021 Share Posted January 18, 2021 I get that the OP is being facetious, but this thread relates to another general point about the team right now. When times are bad and everything is in upheaval, it is really interesting and there is a lot to talk about as a sports fan. When the team is playing like this, there is almost nothing to talk about and it is not nearly as interesting. But it's also a lot more fun. I've been through this before when we were going to Super Bowls and when my Red Sox started winning World Series in the 2000s. You have to pick: interesting and getting killed; boring but fun. I think we all prefer the latter, ultimately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
