juno999 Posted September 11, 2023 Share Posted September 11, 2023 More like energy conservation for me. Looking forward to the season but know it's a long season. Much can happen between now and January. Trying to stay even keel regardless of what happens. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohninMinn. Posted September 11, 2023 Share Posted September 11, 2023 As long as we have a healthy Josh Allen my energy level will be there. However football and pro sports in general have become more of a distraction to me as our country decays. I feel bad for the kids. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rc2catch Posted September 11, 2023 Share Posted September 11, 2023 I try to never get too high or too low. I’ll be the first to admit the Buffalo team opening week last year was without a doubt a Super Bowl squad. That sadly was probably the best complete game they played all year. Since Allen has arrived I basically am satisfied with the fact they should be in every game and are capable of beating anyone. From what I have noticed I think Bills fans are just mostly over the regular season or traumatized with getting too hyped over the regular season successes and then failing in the playoffs. There’s only one cure for this stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UKBillFan Posted September 11, 2023 Share Posted September 11, 2023 (edited) I think there's a nervousness - are the Bills refreshed? Have they learned from the issues from last season? Will they be able to respond to setbacks? Things feel fragile because the Bills were fragile against the Bengals whilst the first teamer performance against the Steelers, albeit in a pre-season affair, would not have increased confidence or hope. Turn up as they did on August 19th and tonight could be an unpleasant blowout. Play to their best, and it'll be 1-0.

par73 Posted September 11, 2023 Share Posted September 11, 2023 My expectations are lower. Before 13 seconds, the SB seemed to be right there for the Bills. After that debacle, and the way last season ended--it's only natural to temper hopes until we see how they look. There is also the concern that other teams in the division/conference have caught up-- or passed them. We shall see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frostbitmic Posted September 11, 2023 Share Posted September 11, 2023 I was low energy yesterday without the Bills playing but am up today. Just got back from Bar Bill Rochester and the beef on weck was awesome. Have some wings to heat up later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always a nervousness for opening game, but a game played last January has zero effect on tonight. 29 minutes ago, Rc2catch said: I try to never get too high or too low.

Agreed, though similar signs against the Steelers - albeit pre season games should have zero effect tonight too - perhaps increases the nervousness somewhat.

Sit back and enjoy. It’s a new season with Josh Allen, Diggs and Co. Even a 3-0 preseason wouldn’t mean a thing today . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Vader Posted September 11, 2023 Share Posted September 11, 2023 I'm excited to get this season started for the Bills. I feel like Captain Oveur in a Turkish prison. GO BILLS!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fridge Posted September 11, 2023 Share Posted September 11, 2023 i was not worried about the opener all offseason, but for some reason i feel nervous about the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirby Jackson Posted September 11, 2023 Author Share Posted September 11, 2023 At the Bills Backers Tailgate and it is REALLY subdued compared to most road game tailgates over the last few years. It’s a cautious group. Let’s hope it goes crazy in about 6 hours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsPride12 Posted September 11, 2023 Share Posted September 11, 2023 Going into last season it was the most hyped up and revved up I've ever seen Western New York going into a season....everywhere you went about the last two weeks leading into the season people were PUMPED. It was cool and it was fun but ultimately after the way the season ended last year I think it would be impossible to replicate the feeling and energy everybody had going into last season. I don't think it means people aren't excited for this season to get underway though, just has a different feeling than last year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimBob2232 Posted September 11, 2023 Share Posted September 11, 2023 This is probably the right attitude. A few years ago we were the underdog. The surprise team that took the league by storm. That helps being the underdog. Last year we were supposed to win it all (so we thought). For a million reasons - that didn't happen. Now people are expecting us to just be back in the pack. Gives us a chance to play that underdog role again. We're a good team. We're a Super Bowl team. But we have to scratch and claw our way there. Nothing will be given to us this year. Thats a good thing. And barring significant injuries - we should be back in the AFC Championship game at a minimum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
