BuffaloBaumer Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 I miss the Bills already and just feel so lucky to be a part of this fan-base, truly. I already miss the tailgates, games on tv, and everything that goes along with it. We are so fortunate to not only have this team that has a chance every year, but to be a part of the most incredible fan-base in North America. We are all some crazy, die-hard, fun-loving folk who will repeat the process every single year until the day we die. I am sure you all had similar texts and phone calls form people everywhere recognizing you as their "Buffalo friend" who represents the mafia with bold colors. Enjoy the off-season and I am already thinking about the home opener! 8 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enjoy the off-season and I am already thinking about the home opener! After decades of this, I'm good... been through WAY too many lean years where the season was over halfway through. Sure I'm angry about the fact that we can't seem to beat Mahomes or Burrow, but at least we are in a position to be close and we still could win it all.... if the Broncos and Saints could do it, we sure as hell could. Good on you for the OPTIMISM... very cool and I wish you well my friend. GO BILLS 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buftex Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 To be honest, as well as intended as it is, I hate when people who don't really care, or truly "know" how it feels try to console me. I was/am fairly depressed about the end of another season...I just assume not hear things like "at least they got there", or "they played really good"...I wish to Christ I had just called in sick to work today...because honestly, it's about as sick as I've felt in a while...of course I'll be back at draft time...schedule release...meaningless pre-season games...but right now I just want to feel bad, and get it out of my system. I've been a fan since I went to my first Bills game in 1973. I'm not stopping now...but, *****, it sucks sometimes! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That being said, I'm already prepping for free agency and the draft. That's the best therapy for me. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zow2 Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 I had one distant friend text me “Wide right” with all exclamation points. I called him a douche for rubbing salt in the wound. He felt bad after that lol. then said at least we make the playoffs every year unlike his team. So not every text starts out friendly.

Everyone I know was about as depressed as you could imagine today, including myself. The only way I can get myself out of it was thinking about how much goddamn fun I had this year and how much I miss this team already, just 24 hours displaced from another nightmare. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah...the crushing defeat is bad enough...but there is that realization that football season (my favorite season) is over...but trust me, I'd still rather feel this than the feelings we all had from 2000-2016. Love the whole routine of the football season...winning or losing, I want it to to keep going. At the two minute warning yesterday, I was so sure we were going to Baltimore...then it just comes to a halting end a few minutes later. You get over it, of course...you have to. But this one will sting for a few more days...this coming Sunday will feel weird. Edited January 23 by Buftex 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I needed a day to process Let’s remember folks at one point during this season we were six and six literally a 10% chance of even making the playoffs We watch the team battle put a string wins together over good teams injuries finally did us in but in the first half of that game, we had the right game plan. Our defense was the most beat up I’ve ever seen it. Thankful for the season and looking forward to next year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4th&long Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 I’m about ready to check out. I’m starting to get the feeling of 4 straight Super Bowl losses again. I’m probably going to be back next fall but at the moment I’ve been thinking about what I’ll be doing next fall instead of watching football. I’m sure I’ll away root for them to win but I’ve had it with this same ***** different day stuff. I don’t think the bills organization will do what it will take to get to the next step! And that is what I’m tired of. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ddaryl Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 Always a Bills fan, for better or for worse... mostly worse, but if the Bills ever left Buffalo I would stop following the sport.

I do not think so... heck us Bills fans can point to our AFL chamionships, but that doesn't seem to fill the void for us does it? Nope I feel lucky we still have a team in the home town Just now, Gregg said: The new stadium says the Bills aren't leaving anytime soon. Yes but there was a pretty significant stretch when we did not know if that would happen. If the Bills did leave I would have ZERO interest in following football 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
