CSBill Posted January 20 Share Posted January 20 10 hours ago, Simon said: My computer is in a different room than my TV so I occasionally find myself running in to type an observation between plays. I usually try to avoid it though, so that I don't get dragged into any mod foolishness while I'm trying to watch the game. Occasionally I see a problematic poster bitching about the game being over in the 1st qrtr and I do them a favor and lock them out because I am a selfless, thoughtful and empathetic man with a heart of gold who always does what's best for others. That explains why it never seems to work for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don Otreply Posted January 20 Share Posted January 20 The GDT is a mix carnage mayhem and happiness, I tend to be up beat with a bit of sarcasm, GO BILLS!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NI Bills Fan Posted January 20 Share Posted January 20 As much as I enjoy this message board immensely, I very rarely post or even view a GDT. When a game is on I barely even look at my phone or engage in discussion with friends who also follow the NFL. I'm too focussed on the game, biting nails, pacing the room etc for anything else!

Bill Grundy Posted January 20 Share Posted January 20 I post because I watch the games alone in the UK (usually at night this year) and need to get stuff off my chest for nerves reasons,. I tend not to be too critical of elite athletes doing things I couldn't do if I trained all my life. Same with coaches, I get a bit grotty about every difficult decision that goes wrong being treated as if it was obvious beforehand (like assuming A 50-yrd FG will inevitably lead to a punter's pulled hamstring). And, because I LIKE this team, I get a bit defensive of them when they are getting trashed. But generally I'm grateful for the company during games, and I learn a lot about the game from reading people here too. It's a good forum.

NewEra Posted January 20 Share Posted January 20 I usually just chime in a couple random thoughts 10 times a year. Usually during halftime. I’m too caught up with the crowd at the bar, listening to music, dancing, placing bets and getting smashed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dgrochester55 Posted January 20 Share Posted January 20 (edited) I am overly optimistic during the week and before the game, but extremely pessimistic during the three hours that the Bills are playing. Example winning 21-0, Allen goes three and out, me "Were going to lose this aren't we? Why does Buffalo always do this? I try not to be, but 40+ years of heartbreaking games is engrained in me.

T master Posted January 20 Share Posted January 20 To busy watching the game to be looking at the computer because i have other interests at that particular time I may send a couple of texts during the game to a family member that is a rabid Bills fan & the one that got me hooked but that's it . Game On !! GO BILLS !!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoonerBillsFan Posted January 20 Share Posted January 20 Let's be honest, GDT brings out the Bi-polar in all of us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stinky finger Posted January 20 Share Posted January 20 The GDT is just not my thing. I can't imagine watching a game and feeling the desire to type out on a message board. The rest of the week I'm on here constantly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fleezoid Posted January 20 Share Posted January 20 I tried a couple of times, but for me it's a waste of time. By the time I put an 8-word comment in, 5 pages have gone by. Everyone's typing; very little reading. Half a dozen pages for one play at times 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buffaloboyinATL Posted January 20 Share Posted January 20 (edited) I avoid the game day thread for Bills games. WAY too much over-reaction. I do enjoy reacting to plays in other game day threads though. Edited January 20 by buffaloboyinATL 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gugny Posted January 20 Share Posted January 20 I can count on Jason Pierre-Paul’s right hand how many times I’ve posted in any GDT. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thrivefourfive Posted January 20 Share Posted January 20 It’s our equivalent to a coaching staff yelling “muck your fother!!” to each other into the headsets, and agreeing that anything said to each other on game day don’t count in real life.

Giuseppe Tognarelli Posted January 20 Share Posted January 20 I'm the type who presents the worst possible outcome and acts like it's already fact. I live in assumption of the worst heartbreak so any outcome is less painful. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigDingus Posted January 20 Share Posted January 20 I try to stay chill, but then instantly revert to 13 year old kid after an easily avoidable turnover or stupid decision... I can ignore mistakes or some turnovers, but it's the ones that make you lower the TV volume (to avoid hearing the announcers dissect the play in confusion) that bring up drought PTSD all over again.
