As fans, we have ZERO control over what happens on the field.
Say Fan A is angry when his team loses and happy when his team wins, watches his team every Sunday, and wastes time talking about his team on internet message boards, taking the optimistic side of most debates with fellow fans.
Say Fan B, on the other hand, is angry regardless of whether his team wins or loses, because all he can think about is the fact that his team can't seem to enjoy any long-term success. Like Fan A, Fan B also wastes his time talking about his team on internet message boards, but differs in that he always takes the pessimistic approach in conversation with fellow fans.
Both fans are wasting time talking about their team on an internet message board, and wasting energy pondering their team 365 days a year. Despite this, neither fan is doing anything that will bring about any sort of change.
Whether you decide to complain or not, whether you're capable of enjoying the (altogether too rare) victories or not, you are settling for failure just as much as any other Bills fan. Don't tell me I'm settling for failure and you're not, when we waste equally ridiculous amounts of time and energy with this team, and neither of us is doing anything to change the situation.
We are equally powerless. Our opinions are equally irrelevant. We are forced to either "settle for failure," or walk away from being a Bills fan. Unfortunately, we're both in far too deep to do the latter, if I may be so presumptuous. You'll have to excuse me if I celebrate when my team wins, its just my nature.
But please, PLEASE, do not go around here acting like you're more dedicated to seeing the Bills win a Superbowl than the rest of us are because you're always negative and we usually stay positive. Maybe you're smarter, but you're not doing anything more to get the Bills into the playoffs than any of the other thousands of members of this board.
I'm off the soapbox. Sorry for the rant.
