SinceThe70s Posted January 20 Share Posted January 20 I'm not a fan of the GDT thread, too bipolar for my taste and for the life of me I don't understand how anyone keeps up with anyone else's posts. I'll lurk on occasion, usually when there's a play under review cuz someone might have an interesting point of view Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Over 29 years of fanhood Posted January 20 Share Posted January 20 Emotionally volatile on a play by play basis with a volatility range that expands with alcohol consumption and game importance. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JaCrispy Posted January 20 Share Posted January 20 I’m the type of GDT poster that enjoys going to the opponent’s message board, and drinking in the tears of opposing fans… I know what Bills fans think, so it’s interesting getting an outsider perspective of our team…👍 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bray Wyatt Posted January 20 Share Posted January 20 2 hours ago, Logic said: I'm happy to watch the game with other fans in person that are as into the game as I am, or occasionally at a Bills Backers bar. But by and large, my days of watching the game with casual fans, people who wanna talk through the whole game, ask a bunch of questions, chat about unrelated topics, etc...are long over. It's the reason I've been doing "Super Bowl Party for One" for years. I just really love football and want to concentrate on the game. The nuance of it, the visuals, the audio, the commentary. I want to fully take in the game. There are plenty of opportunities to be social OUTSIDE of football. You want to watch the game with me? Great. Let's watch it. You wanna use the game as pretext to be social or to have a party? I'm really just not interested. I don't mean to be a curmudgeon, that's just how I feel. As for Tweeting or message board-ing during the game. I don't know. I've literally never tried it. Maybe I'd like it? I don't know. Perhaps I'll give it a shot next year during an early season game. This is me to a T! I do have a group text with friends that we shoot each other thoughts during the game but I can shoot one off quick during commercials. I find it helps me relax more 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PromoTheRobot Posted January 20 Share Posted January 20 4 hours ago, Goin Breakdown said: I was thinking about the game and how this weeks GDT may look. Everyone has their own way of coping and really who are we to judge how others do it? Are you the freak out and complain about every last play guy? Are you the tough guy "see yourself out the door" poster? (Even though you know in your heart why people are worried) In full disclosure, I tend to be pessimistic. I'll start with a go Bills. Comment on a couple nice plays and then I find myself saying "I just don't see how things are going to turn around" or some crap like that when they are in a 3rd quarter slump. Then I'll "Go Bills again". I'm kind of all over. I don't read GDTs. I'm too focused on the game. I will drop a thought now and then.

stuvian Posted January 20 Share Posted January 20 the GDTs are just so negative now they detract from my enjoyment of the game. Still i find I am glued to them like some addicted homer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BRH Posted January 20 Share Posted January 20 When things get bad for the Bills in a game I have to step away, sometimes for a quarter, sometimes longer. The people with axes to grind against particular players and coaches always proliferate in those times, and I don’t want to say something I’ll regret. But I usually can’t stay away too long. I can’t watch the game with live humans other than my son (who’s away at college) or my dad (who lives in another state), because they always want to talk about something else, and I only want to talk about the game with people who are as into it as I am. This is pretty much the only place that happens. As for my posting style, I celebrate, I gripe, I analyze, I react…. Like most of you, I’m all over the place.

Freddie's Dead Posted January 20 Share Posted January 20 I like the GDT. I post observations, sarcastic comments like when Brady abandoned the run briefly against the Steelers. I'll put up a gif with a movie reference if appropriate. Try to have some fun with it. 6 hours ago, RobbRiddick said: Knox drops a 5 yard pass: This guy is useless, waste of a contract, get rid of him, embarrassing, just throw it to Kincaid *five minutes later* Knox catches a TD: There he is! That's why we have him! Knoxxxxxxxxxxxxx! From Dropsome to Dawesome. It's who he is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gonzo1105 Posted January 20 Share Posted January 20 I’m a former coach and recruiter so I’m very analytical in all my thoughts, some unpopular. I don’t get raw emotion or nervous until there is a reason to do so. Hope for the best expect the worst being a Bills fan since I was 5, I am now 38 so that’s 33 years of trauma built up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SageAgainstTheMachine Posted January 20 Share Posted January 20 I mostly don’t post but I will snipe at people clearly having an emotional response and demand that they be perfectly logical instead. It’s very important to me that I feel smarter than internet strangers. I am wrong and bad. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HIT BY SPIKES Posted January 20 Share Posted January 20 (edited) I tend to stay away from GDTs until a Bills victory is well in hand. Then I will join the conversation in celebration. I am an optimistic Buffalo Bills Fan viewer and the negative vibe often found in GDTs turns me off. I believe in positive energy so I shy away from those who watch the game with inexplicable anger.

JerseyBills Posted January 20 Share Posted January 20 Always optimistic, even though I'll post some negative stuff after a bad play but we can be down 20 at halftime and I'll be the guy saying we can definitely turn this around. This game is going to be intense. Glad I have this place to vent with everyone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
