Anyone else have Drought-Era Bills flashbacks while watching Sundays Game??

[Special K]

Thankfully, the Bills had to play 2nd and 3rd stringers to look that bad.....in the drought-era that would be how the 1st stringers would've looked!!

 

After the 6+ years of success the Bills have enjoyed, I had almost forgot what a bad Bills team looked like. That game was a not so subtle reminder of how good we Bills fans have it right now!!

 

It reminded me to enjoy the ride, and not ever take for granted how good it is to have a top-tier team to root for!!

 

Go Bills!!!!!

Im with you on focusing on the brighter and right perspective is to look at the bigger picture of what is was…
 

The only thing that bothers me is in terms of the price tickets are nowadays, there’s some people who those preseason games, due to location as well, are the only Bills games they can attend. Many of them take their children. 
 

The product, even if it is preseason and meaningless on the actual season, was an embarrassment to any fan putting time and energy on watching the game. Especially those who put up money to spend the evening attending it.

No. Not even the drought Bills were that bad. I had flashbacks of watching the 4th preseason game back when we still had those and just how silly and useless those games were to watch. They were meaningless, and this game was meaningless as well.

Well, you should know the risks when purchasing preseason tickets and going to those games. Buyer beware.

You know there’s going to be some brutal play. But that bad? No. No reasoning for half measured play. 
 

I’ve been to around 10 preseason games and the consensus about those is it isn’t about the win but watching the competition and effort the guys playing for a job display. Honestly, there was far too many moments of modest effort.

Some teams have performed that badly in regular season games. It sucks to watch, but that is football. Sometimes the games suck. That's just baked into the nature of the game. Fans aren't entitled to a high quality performance by their team. The NFL itself does everything it can to provide an exciting product, but that doesn't always happen, especially in preseason.
