Brand J Posted August 24, 2011 Posted August 24, 2011 A flash of blue and a hint of red, as a player in white streaks by, An oblong ball meets the tip of a shoe, welcome to One Bills Drive. Hopes and cheers emanate from a crowd, the opening game underway, A legion of men, clad in helmets and pads, determined to win on this day. A charging Buffalo froths at the mouth, as steam ejects from his nose, The opposing team? Done. Frightened with fear, hardly a worthy foe. An army of cleats stir a cloud of dust and three hours later it's over, Visibility improves, the scoreboard is proof: “Oh how did I watch this $#!t sober?!” One game in the books, the men fought hard, but the opposition was strong, “We'll get 'em next year” sing the die-hards, lyrics to their favorite song. A Bills fan requires patience and faith, but more importantly, two pills for the headache, A masochistic mentality, an aversion to reality, a fear of impending heartbreak. I Hate That I Love This Team GO BILLS! -Jai Brandon

sweatpantsjoe Posted August 24, 2011 Posted August 24, 2011 I wouldn't wish being a Bills fan on my worst enemy.
Dorkington Posted August 24, 2011 Posted August 24, 2011 I wouldn't wish being a Bills fan on my worst enemy. Ditto.
TC in St. Louis Posted August 24, 2011 Posted August 24, 2011 The operative question: Why DID you watch that sober? Tip a few and move on. It's the Buffalo Way.
QB Bills Posted August 24, 2011 Posted August 24, 2011 I wouldn't wish being a Bills fan on my worst enemy. hahaha that is signature-worthy
Thunderstealer Posted August 24, 2011 Posted August 24, 2011 I guess the key is to not think about it too much. The Rams had seasons of, 5-11, 3-13, 6-10, 5-11, 4-12, 7-5, 6-10, 5-11, 4-12--before they clicked with the greatest show on turf 13-3. I'm sure Rams fans believed there was NO possible way, their sucky team would ever be good.

KollegeStudnet Posted August 24, 2011 Posted August 24, 2011 (edited) I guess the key is to not think about it too much. The Rams had seasons of, 5-11, 3-13, 6-10, 5-11, 4-12, 7-5, 6-10, 5-11, 4-12--before they clicked with the greatest show on turf 13-3. I'm sure Rams fans believed there was NO possible way, their sucky team would ever be good. And it only took a grocery bagger and a then washed up multi purpose running back....with a bunch of first round talent who people thought were mediocre--including an undersized linebacker who later would win the hearts of Bills fans with his play! Who knows...maybe the washed up multi purpose linebacker, the play out of position quarterback from another team, a 30+ running back and a group of unknown players can do the same?!
