C.Biscuit97 Posted December 2, 2010 Posted December 2, 2010 I logged onto a message board to immediately insult him because that's what adults are supposed to do.
Richmond_Bills Posted December 2, 2010 Posted December 2, 2010 You guys haven't learned, apparently. I have no reaction to any Bills' play, until at least 15 seconds after the play is over. Most good plays are overturned by penalty or an immediate mistake, mishap, or inexplicable occurrence. I learned this the hard way after cheering and celebrating when Christie nailed the FG to put us ahead against the Titans in the playoffs. I was in the midst of actually checking what time next week's game against the Colts would be, and glanced over to see the Music City Miracle unfold before my eyes.. Exactly - as an umpire you learn to wait until about 5 seconds after the play is over as to avoid the "out-safe" call. Similarly, with Bills games you have to wait the 5 seconds to avoid the "oh yeah-oh ****" cheer.
plenzmd1 Posted December 2, 2010 Posted December 2, 2010 This one was hard. Being the experienced Bills fan that I am, I knew we really did not have a chance at winning once McKelven tripped ove Moat's legs But then the God's smiled on us, and somehow Drayton comes up with that fumble..holy chit how did that happen..we got a shot Stevie open, hands in air, beer flying out the top of the bottle as I celebrate and turn around to get towel to wipe off beer. Heart crushing down when wifey poo says"he dropped it, no touchdown"..moment of "she fuggin with me that mean ole women' Then reality hit Yep its the Bills..we ain't getting another chance like that..hit the FF button, game was over in 2 minutes after that for me
Bronc24 Posted December 2, 2010 Posted December 2, 2010 Said matter of factly, "he f'ing dropped it".....then "predicted" the inevitable loss. This was sandwiched by Michigan's fiasco at Ohio State (Wolverine fan) and The Saskatchewan Roughriders Grey Cup loss (I live in Saskatchewan). Not a great football weekend in my household, but hey...my daughter learned a whole new vocabulary of four letter words....
speedjspiller Posted December 2, 2010 Posted December 2, 2010 threw my baby up in the air in happiness and was so mad he dropped the ball i forgot to catch him

I burried my head in my hands and had a good cry. . . . . . . . . Wait, I was wrong...that's what happened when I saw yet another Steve Johnson thread. this is actually a great topic. its not like the play happened 2 months ago.... so i have to ask. beerball, "why so serious"
Wagon Circler Posted December 2, 2010 Posted December 2, 2010 Being a Bills fan means I've come to expect this sh*t. The play that had me punching walls and throwing laundry was when Roethlisberger ran for a first down on third and 18. That was as pissed off as I've been all year. Said matter of factly, "he f'ing dropped it".....then "predicted" the inevitable loss. This was sandwiched by Michigan's fiasco at Ohio State (Wolverine fan) and The Saskatchewan Roughriders Grey Cup loss (I live in Saskatchewan). Not a great football weekend in my household, but hey...my daughter learned a whole new vocabulary of four letter words.... So the weekend wasn't a total loss.
Clippers of Nfl Posted December 2, 2010 Posted December 2, 2010 I turned around and started jumping once i saw it was a perfect ball and went to high five my buddies, and one said he dropped the ball. I sat down and proceeded to state how we were now going to lose the game. just another bills game giveaway added to the list. i kind of had the same post reaction. at first i was like, "yes". then a quick "damn" then i realized it was game over. it always happens like that. then i moved on and kind of accepted the drop until wednesday when it finally hit me. i was upset yesterday. but its all good now. im fine. like you say. add it to the list.
TheMadCap Posted December 2, 2010 Posted December 2, 2010 I didn't get upset at all, I just laughed and laughed. They broke me last year at NE by losing the 11 point lead in under five minutes. Now I don't get upset when they lose, and I have finally started to actually expect them to lose, instead of win every game. Don't get me wrong, I want them to win. I am happy when they win, but I am way over shaking with rage after soul crushing losses. You guys should join me, set yourself free, it's so much more enjoyable...
Buftex Posted December 2, 2010 Posted December 2, 2010 I just laughed (gallows humour)...my natural reaction, these days...the first time that happened was when Losman fumbled the ball, while trying to run the clock out on the Jets, a few years ago...I want them to win so bad, I am afraid to imagine it sometimes...I so wanted them to win this past weekend. Being an out of towner, going to a bar to watch every week, Steelers fans are close to Cowboys fans in their obnoxiousness...I would have loved to leave that bar, just once, with that smug smile on my face, telling a Steelers fan "you guys are much better than I thought..."

jimmy10 Posted December 2, 2010 Posted December 2, 2010 I ran from the living room to the kitchen, hands on my head, trying to suppress my howling of "NOOOOOO" trying to not scare my five-month old son.

Realist Posted December 2, 2010 Posted December 2, 2010 If you've been a fan long enough (and that's different for everyone), you just kind of HAVE chuckle to yourself. There was a time I would have yelled, "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" After my chuckle I thought, "that was a GREAT play design" and it reminded me of how much I've liked how good Gailey is at using plays to set up others during the course of a game. I also felt bad for Johnson and Fitz but was also encouraged to know they will do this successfully many times before they're finished. I've either mellowed with age or the meds are FINALLY kicking in. GO BILLS!!! This was my exact reaction. I just chuckled and said "it figures...". But I loved the play call and glad we were playing to win.
cantankerous Posted December 2, 2010 Posted December 2, 2010 I yelled "You've got to be !@#$ kidding me!" Wow. And "We had them beat! F---!"
AReed Deep For 7 Posted December 2, 2010 Posted December 2, 2010 my reaction identical to handgartner's... except i was jumping on my buddy

I will go on record here and now that while Christie was lining up to kick it off, and a bunch of people around me high-fiving...I repeated "ITS NOT OVER" at least five times. People on this board who bore witness to this (but proabably dont want to admit they know me personally) could back me up. Edited December 2, 2010 by RkFast
Coach Klein Posted December 2, 2010 Posted December 2, 2010 I did a leap out of the recliner/fist pump all in one motion. my moment of realization was while I was in the air. I then landed 6 inches from the television in a baseball catcher's squat with my hands on my head...speechless.
LA Bills Fan Posted December 2, 2010 Posted December 2, 2010 My screaming had been reserved for the kickoff return when McKelvin tripped over Arthur Moats. That was when I had the "Oh Sh*t we're going to find a way to lose this" moment. When Stevie dropped the pass I had already come to terms with another heartbreaker.
Magox Posted December 2, 2010 Posted December 2, 2010 Great Topic I made a blood curdling scream of NOOOOOOOOOOOO while I was watching my 19 month old daughter, and her mother was in the other room and she came flying out and was like "what's wrong?". Then I looked at my daughter and she looked frightened and I felt some what embarrassed. I ended up having to explain to her the scream and promised not to do it ever again.
