Ya know, I thought about making that same joke.

But I was concerned there may be a few posters that would offer me directions 🤣.

 

I few months ago I might have given you a used Garmin.  😋

@Shaw66 has been lurking as recently as yesterday.  Why did he stop posting?  Maybe message him. 

Hey, thanks for the concern.   I'm fine.   I seem to have turned a corner on my Bills fandom.   I've been intending to do a post about it, but it's a bit of a project, and I'm travelling to Cincinnati this weekend.  

 

Since London, I missed the Bills the following week, I watched the last two games, and I watched no other pro football.  I'm reading nothing about the Bills.  I come here just to see if there's any news, like acquiring a corner back or a 1 Tech, but I seem to have lost interest in talking about the Bills.  I just watch the games, am pleased, not so pleased, or not pleased with what I see.  Then I just spend my week thinking about other things, until the next game.  

 

My one substantive thought:  I think the NFL is all about building to a team that can win the playoffs.  The Bills are working on building that winner.  I have no idea whether they'll succeed, but the fact that they don't look dominant right now isn't something that I worry about.  I did worry about before, but not since London.  Either some players will step up, or they won't.    If the Bills win it all, there will be great praise for all the guys who stepped up.  If they get close and fail, well, someone didn't quite do what is incredibly difficult to do.   Josh, Von, Diggs, Bernard, Cook, the oline, Floyd, and unnamed people all could step up.  Taron Johnson had a career play in the playoffs before we understood how good he was.  Maybe Benford will be that guy this season.   I don't know.  

 

Every pro football team is trying to do something that is incredibly difficult - to win the Super Bowl.  Every team works incredibly hard at it.  Maybe the Bills will succeed, maybe they won't.  I've stopped trying to figure it out.   I'm just watching to see what happens.

You mention “since London”, and I can say the same thing. I’m not sure how you have changed since that event, but I can say I still love the Bills but am losing some interest in the NFL.

Wow.  Didn't occur to me that others might be having the same experience. 

 

One reason is that we traveled with family for two weeks after the game, so I didn't have time ti watch games and study posts here.  I discovered I didn't miss it.
