The Kubler-Ross cycle of grief, NFL version:

 

1. Denial: "Those were some crap calls and this game would have a whole lot different if Daquon Jones played."

2. Anger: "Fire the coordinators. All of them."

3. Bargaining: "Come on, Brandon Beane -- give us some hope that you're going to do something big to fix everything in your end-of-season press conference!"

4. Depression: "The window is closing fast. 2020-2022 was our window and now the cap combined with years of mediocre drafting is going to hem us in. We'll struggle to win the AFC East next year."

5. Acceptance: "It's X days until the home opener!"

Me this spring once the schedule is released:

 

[Goin Breakdown]

You guys all suck with your hopeful optimism. Should have complained that the Bills suck all along. Is this about right?  All season long if someone says anything critical they get met with the whole "go find another team" or "don't let the door hit you". It's one or the other. Cheer for your team and hope for the best or be critical with some realism and be told you're a sucky fan.

First of all, that’s a perfect description of my moods at this exact times. Second of all, that’s every sports fan of a team that has even moderate success. 

[Governor]

This team was over-performing all season. It’s a pretty bad roster. The Cowboys won 13 games too with a much better roster. We have like 4 good players. 1 great player.

10 months ago we had a great roster when Von and Hyde were healthy, Saffold wasn't a complete bum and was coming off a great season as a run blocker, Jamison Crowder's foot didn't fall off, everybody and their mother thought Knox and Gabe would take a leap, etc.

 

This team clearly has a serious issue with player development, but on paper it was a fantastic roster heading into the season.

[thronethinker]

I’m surprised there isn’t some medical condition created yet for depression created from being a sports fan. There would be the medication to go with it with 20 side effects. There has to be some kind of excuse for us fans that are so emotionally unstable that we allow something we have no control over dictate our mental state. To top it off we drop tons of money on this like it’s a street drug too.  I am not criticizing anyone as I’m a victim  of this disease myself.

I might argue on the exact number of good and great players but I agree with your conclusion that the biggest problem with the Bills is personnel, specifically poor draft and free agency decisions.  After these failures in the playoffs my unemotional assessment is that the only difference between this team and the drought teams before it is Josh Allen.  The Bills have always had a good player or three and most seasons an above average defense but not a QB.  

 

You plug Josh into the Jets, Dolphins, or Patriots offense and that team wins the division.  Excluding the QB position, I'll argue that the other teams in our division have better overall talent and personnel.  The finger points squarely at the front office and Beane.  Sure he gets credit for maneuvering up the draft to pick Allen in the 7th spot but what has he done lately.  And yeah, McDermott's game management skills are subpar and Frazier's scheme is soft and predictable but the personnel decisions have been the worst thing of all things.

I never thought winning the SB was more than a 10-15% chance. I also think we really need to avoid being overly complacent and shake things up a more than usual.

I wouldn't fire Beane or McDermott, but both coordinators are fair game. That said, Dorsey was a 'rookie' and had a poor OL and few weapons to work with.

The worst thing for me is that this coach, this team, this scheme, doesn’t fit the city. It isn’t Buffalo Bills football in any way.

Me at 1/22/23, 2:59 p.m. :: This team is going to get buried by cincinatti.

 

Me at 1/22/23, 5:45 p.m. :: I quit watching after the 1st quarter, how bad did they get the F##K beat out of them?  Ohh... they scored 10...  more than I thought they'd score.

 

 

In case anyone is wondering, I was in Cincinatti when Hamlin went down, and aside from all the love and prayers I sent him since then, the untold truth was they were going to get the same beatdown that night, and it was plain as day.  I quietly said to my circle of friends a month or so earlier that this team was as good as done after the KC win.  That was their superbowl, and they never looked as dominant, or even as prepared after that game.  That's not to say I didn't WANT them to win, I hoped Josh could bounce back and carry the team.  There's no doubt in my mind he was flat out of gas.

I am going to be your internet Dr with my advice.  Being a sports fan is an incurable condition VERY resistant to treatment addiction/ affliction at times.

 

The BEST medicine I can advise is using the thumb of your dominant hand turning OFF the television  to cut the cord of sports OFF

 

THEN what do you do?  learn to play tennis or surf.  Get more physically active or volunteer or just something else to take your mind off of sports ...DANCE MORE

 

Drink water.
