peterpan Posted December 7, 2023 Share Posted December 7, 2023 Younger days, I was all Bills and it was terribly depressing. Then I bought a motorcycle and that was awesome. A truly hobby. I had never experienced that before. Whether it is hunting , guns, trucks, four wheelers….. just try some other manly hobbies and have fun with that. ps I have also found it’s a lot more enjoyable to watch on TV. Get to the TV 5 mins before kickoff, poop in your own house, Home immediately after the game. No sun burn or frost bite….. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ray Stonada Posted December 7, 2023 Share Posted December 7, 2023 The thing that makes it tough is the uncertainty. The Bills could miss the playoffs, or win the Super Bowl this season. And because we’ve pulled defeat from the jaws of victory so many times, we can’t even relax and enjoy games where we are winning anymore. We’re on tenterhooks here.

I didn't see any live but the dagger in the heart was no less painful. I have to admit though, it is something, this season has certainly been painful to watch at times but regardless, I wouldn't trade it for any of the drought years. I don't think they run the table and likely miss the playoffs, but they'll put up a fight. just hope they can right the ship this next offseason and come out in '24 ready to compete. this has been a flukey season, a whole bunch of head scratching heart wrenching football. I never did like all the hype of superbowl (although I believed they would make a strong run) favorites nor did I like them putting JA as the face of madden. seems that would put a lot of pressure on a young man? I said I was done, burned out myself after the eagles game. I don't care what any of them say, nfl refs have been toxic to the game. toxic. but, I will watch and pull for them on sunday where I believe they have a chance but also know what could happen, adding salt to the 2023 season wound...

I'm a season ticket holder, and I'll be out there the next 2 weeks regardless and sporting the red, white and blue ... but I really don't care anymore. But then again, maybe it is just me ... I don't care about much of anything any more. I looked to the Bills to be a distraction from everything else in my life, but they're just as F'd as everything else I feel ya. I’m frustrated. I can no longer hope against reason that McDermott can lead this team to the promised land. If I’m honest, I knew after 13 seconds. No big Von Miller addition this season to give hope that we have the talent - and confidence - on the roster to overcome his coaching either. This team has played like they know they can’t win it all with this HC. It’s no surprise that many of the fans feel the same. That sucks particularly badly this season since the AFC is so ripe for the taking. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thankfully, I am not a season ticket holder. I took my son to the Denver mn game and personally I didn’t even want to go to that. After turnovers on the first two drives I refused to cheer or say much. By mid 4th qtr I told myself I might as well get into it, I played for the tickets. Of course I got kicked in the nuts for my effort! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for your support 👍 Maybe I'm making a point what is supposed to be a fun distraction from all the sh!t that drags us down every day isn't anymore If you are depressed get some help. Talk to a friend or family. Sometimes depression can be temporary sometimes worse. I know I was in a prolonged state of depression and having kids helped pull me out of it because my life suddenly had meaning in everything I did! Who knows what might help you but something or someone will help you. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YodaMan79 Posted December 7, 2023 Share Posted December 7, 2023 (edited) The way McDermott and the coaching staff have come up with new agonizing ways to ***** defeat from victory, has left me apathetic, as well. * Really, “sn@tch” is blocked? 😂 Edited December 7, 2023 by YodaMan79 1 1 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adding to what you said, what makes it difficult to take in, is watching a dirt-track race car driver being handed a state-of-the-art Formula One car, and not having any idea how to handle it. Then losing races when he should be winning. This consistent underachievement is a morale killer. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cwater10 Posted December 7, 2023 Share Posted December 7, 2023 Ronnie Harmon in Cleveland... Defined the Buffalo Bills fan experience in a split second. You learn to roll with it through and back out the other side of the depressive moments. I lost my husband in '22 and looked forward to the Bills season for escape and renewed ability to experience joy. That worked out well 😂. Anyway, the experience revealed to me the things in life that are just way bigger than all of this. After some time passes, lightness and fun comes back. So this year, I decided Sabres season tickets would be just the right balm. Yeah... life! You have to keep a sense of humor and find meaning wherever you find it. That meaning may not be where you are looking for it right now, but if you keep your eyes open, you just might see it again. I did. It was well worth the journey! Keep going. 2 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Back2Buff Posted December 7, 2023 Share Posted December 7, 2023 I don't want this college football season to end, yet wish the NFL season ended weeks ago. It's not just the Bills for me, it's the entire NFL product right now that I could careless for. Greed has killed the game. Kirk Herb was on PMT a few weeks ago talking about how boring it is calling an NFL game vs college. I will forever say that the NFL has the advantage of being on Sunday's vs Saturday's, in terms of viewership. I always can't stand when the league constantly pumps their TV ratings. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beast Posted December 7, 2023 Share Posted December 7, 2023 Last season I was burned out. With everything that went on I didn’t even care when they lost to the Bengals in the playoffs. This year I’m not burned out but I am a little pissed off at the way things are turning out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
