It was clear all during the second half the Vikings were gonna come back and win it. I was prepared for the loss, but Josh throwing it right to that guy in the end zone was brutal. I watched a 3-minute video of my grandkids and immediately felt better and a lot of joy. It’s just knowing where to put your heart and priorities. There’s joy when they win, and when they lose, you gotta flip the switch and find your joy elsewhere. Take care of yourself OP. I 100% feel the same way, I knew the Bills would blow this one. Too many blown opportunities. I went and took the pup to the park and threw the Frisbee around and felt better after the game.. This team isn't done, they struggled mid season last year and turned it on when it matters. We were 7-6 at one point! I expect them to turn it around we are still 6-3. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm 34 years old, married with a 1 month old. I live out of state. I have been a Bills fan all of my life, I'm not going to stop being a fan, I can't. I've been cursed. For many years, I dreamed when I finally had a kid that as they grew up, I would have someone who would love the Bills as much as I do, something we could share. My wife doesn't care about sports (it sucks). That dream is over, I'm not cursing my daughter to a lifetime of misery. Of course, I will keep up with the Bills, but I've got to change the way they have an impact in my life. Beyond my family and job, the Bills have come next. Watching every game, having whatever app needed to watch them out of state, clothing, $, etc. I'm done. I cant keep doing this. The way I feel after a loss has to stop (especially the epic meltdown losses we are all to familiar with); I'm miserable, I'm mad, I'm angry, it consumes me. I'm to emotionally invested. Beyond my job and family, the Bills have been everything and anyone who knows me knows its my identity. Something has to give. So, I thought about it after the KC game last season. Now after this, its time. I'm no longer watching the Bills live. 4 hours every "Sunday" for 17 weeks and whatever playoffs and preseason stuff. That's over 70+ hours each season. That's roughly 3 days of my life each year devoted to the Bills. What has it given back to me, how am I a better person for doing this. What good, what accomplishments, what have I earned from this. NOTHING All I do is become a emotional wreck and a miserable, grumpy jerk when they lose. (I can remember crying as a little kid, like 6/7 years old). The crying as a little kid, now is mostly just meant with anger. Any of my friends and family know. To the point of, my best friends wife, texted my wife and wanted to see how angry I was after the KC loss. It's embarrassing. I have become a side show spectacle, to point where people are curious how "epic" my meltdown was. (I would like to say, I actually took it like a champ, and kept it all in eternally and showed nothing emotionally). No anger, just disappointment in myself and the Bills. From here on, perhaps I go back to it at some point. I dont know. I'm just done. I am disappointed in myself more for caring so much for 30 years. From this point on, I'm not watching another Bills game live. I need to do better in my life, maybe this is a small step in the right direction. I know I will watch replays if they win (just like I might watch Netflix or Disney +), but I'm gaining my life back. I'm done. If it effects you this way, I truly do think you should stop watching. Me? I’ve been through so much that I can’t get worked up over a game. I enjoy watching, but I’m not going to blow a gasket or take the LORD’s name in vain. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lionel Hutz Posted November 14, 2022 Share Posted November 14, 2022 What I've learned from being a sports fan is the pain of losing is always greater than the joy of winning. If you let your happiness depend on something you have no control on the outcome you will usually be disappointed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShakAttack Posted November 14, 2022 Share Posted November 14, 2022 2 minutes ago, Murdox said: They are 6-3 and Allen can play better than this. He just needs to stop pressing in the red zone and make better reads there. We will also get a number of starters on defense back in the coming weeks. If we win the next 2 games all should be good. If we lose to the Browns next week then I agree the sky is falling on this season. its weird because for the longest time he had that INCREDIBLE stat about 0 or 1 turnovers in the red zone in his career and I think that stat was still valid when this season started. he’s gone from that to having 4 red zone ints in 2 weeks I mean.. what is going on. one of the 50 Things I keep going back to is “I wish Knox was able to secure the TD on the play before” like he did against KC. Allen’s receivers had been making incredible catches for him most of the game Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Airseven Posted November 14, 2022 Share Posted November 14, 2022 Can’t blame any longtime Bills fan for feeling this way. Sometimes these games just aren’t fun and not worth the agitation. No other team gaffes like the Bills. I said the Bills would fumble immediately after Cousins got stuffed at goal line.

Maybe a lot of out of state Bills fan born in the mid 80s. EDIT- I also vividly remember being in 3rd grade when the Bills lost to Cowboys in the Super Bowl and I was pulling for them by that time.

I guess you could say it kind of stuck with me, pulling for the Bills like I did that day and wishing they’d finally pull it off. funny thing is, when I meet other Bills fans that are NOT Buffalo natives, I’m amazed how many of them have similar stories to mine and same approximate age as well. Maybe a lot of out of state Bills fan born in the mid 80s. The first NFL game I watched was SB 25 as well, I was amazed by Andre Reed and Thurman Thomas that game. Was hooked ever since. Stuck with them through thick and thin. The losses through the years definitely sting though.

Maybe I’d be on another teams board right now instead. Heck, maybe I’d be on no message board at all. My local teams were Raiders and Niners. And I never cared much for them or their fans, especially Niners. I’ve developed a respect for the loyal Raider fans over the years and for a long period of time we were able to relate to each other, each going through miserable never ending playoff droughts.

Brianmoorman4jesus Posted November 14, 2022 Share Posted November 14, 2022 If you have the choice to stop caring you probably never cared to begin with. I live 7 hours from the stadium, ***** this team and I won’t talk to almost anyone until Wednesday but I know where I’ll be Sunday. I’m going to say out loud we are done and that the season is probably over but I’m sitting here listening to WGR like an ####### and I know what I’ll be doing Sunday at 1. Wishing I was you probably Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For sure! I've lived in midwest all my life, the amount of crap I've taken for those 4 SB losses is ridiculous but I wouldn't have it any other way. Nothing but KC fans here which adds to the misery lol. If/when the Bills win a SB it will be a glorious day....I hope we both are able to see it and enjoy it. Cheers man.
