KikO M G Posted October 20, 2013 Posted October 20, 2013 Can't believe how many naysayers fill the game thread with negative comments about how the Bills have no chance, the coaching is terrible, time to start looking at next year, etc. Really? The Bills never trailed by more than 4 points the entire game, and you guys were that negative? Have a little faith! I know the history of this team gives us plenty of reasons to be pessimistic, but you might find you enjoy the games a bit more if you actually believe in your team! It's not like it took a miraculous comeback to win this one. They were in it the whole game. Yet reading the game thread it looks like they were down by 20 or something. Very sad.

It's a negative reflex reaction from many years of heartbreak and disappointment.
Chandler#81 Posted October 20, 2013 Posted October 20, 2013 22 posts and you're shocked about Bills fans negativity? How old are you?
Prickly Pete Posted October 20, 2013 Posted October 20, 2013 Plus, it was pretty much a fluke that they got the ball back at the end of the game (not that they haven't been on the opposite end of of those kinds of misfortunes). The Dolphins had the game in the bag...
Dr. Fong Posted October 20, 2013 Posted October 20, 2013 I'll stop being so negative once this franchise gets back to the playoffs. I'm not even looking for a division title, just a wild card will do. Until this happens I reserve the right to be as negative as I want.

It was almost 50 degrees here today. How was the weather in Unicorn City?
Saint Doug Posted October 20, 2013 Posted October 20, 2013 (edited) Negative or not, win or lose, if one actually watched the game they would know the dolphins were the better team on the field today. That said, the dolphins had every reason to win this game and couldn't pull it off. Edited October 20, 2013 by kas23
26CornerBlitz Posted October 20, 2013 Posted October 20, 2013 (edited) Negative or not, win or lose, if one actually watched the game they would know the dolphins were the better team on the field today. 23-21 Bills says you're wrong. Give the Dolphins a moral victory for being the "better" team. Edited October 20, 2013 by 26CornerBlitz
first_and_ten Posted October 20, 2013 Posted October 20, 2013 Plus, it was pretty much a fluke that they got the ball back at the end of the game (not that they haven't been on the opposite end of of those kinds of misfortunes). The Dolphins had the game in the bag... That wasn't a fluke. It was a great play by Mario Williams. A fluke would be if Tanehill dropped the ball for no reason or they snapped the ball over the punters head. A great defensive play is no fluke...geeeash
jaybee Posted October 20, 2013 Posted October 20, 2013 Actually the OP isn't the only one that gets annoyed with the negativity. Quite a few do that I've spoken with. We won today fellas. Enjoy the moment. And....stop firing and trading everybody after a bad play !! Enjoy the moment. Things are changing.
Zulu Cthulhu Posted October 20, 2013 Posted October 20, 2013 Given their recent road performances I'd say a healthy dose of pessimism was warranted. And let's not forget they peed away another early lead before righting the ship. That said great win. Pleasantly surprised for a change.
Garion Posted October 20, 2013 Posted October 20, 2013 I have to admit I am with the OP there were things to criticize but this team was in from start to finish AND came away with a win.
NoSaint Posted October 20, 2013 Posted October 20, 2013 23-21 Bills says you're wrong. Give the Dolphins a moral victory for being the "better" team. No shame - a w is a w - we've been on the other side of games like that plenty, and I'm fine with stealing one we probably shouldn't have won.
Green Lightning Posted October 20, 2013 Posted October 20, 2013 That wasn't a fluke. It was a great play by Mario Williams. A fluke would be if Tanehill dropped the ball for no reason or they snapped the ball over the punters head. A great defensive play is no fluke...geeeash +1 - You bet. It's like we have to say "We won....get over it!"
KollegeStudnet Posted October 20, 2013 Posted October 20, 2013 Bills fans can be sad people sometime and express it in posts.

A fluke would be if Tanehill dropped the ball for no reason or they snapped the ball over the punters head. A great defensive play is no fluke...geeeash Regarding that play I'll say it was also a player we identified and targeted to make great plays. That moment was an organizational success- even if I think we got away with a so-so game against a division opponent on the road.

TH3 Posted October 21, 2013 Posted October 21, 2013 I agree with the OP. Sheesh i have been watching the Bills for almost 40 years .....what is the use in going thru a game expecting the worst? Fire this guy, Marrone is lost, trade Williams, my personal favorite on this board is the constant looking back on players no longer with the team Levitre, Whitner, etc.....its like a guy who cant get over his old girlfriend and stalks her on the web.....constantly seeing what she is up to.....like nothing ever good is going to come again. Bills are in a good spot, Pats r finally unraveling - check out TB stats....we just beat the fish, the Jets r the Jets ......Bilies are finally getting some building blocks.....cheer up for cripe sake;)
Tim Tindale Posted October 21, 2013 Posted October 21, 2013 I agree with the initial post. I read it to get a good laugh after a win... Bills' fans have lost patience for baby steps-type improvement. It's amazing we're 3-4 given the injuries and the fact that we are on our 4th qb. Everyone wants Hackett's head, yet we're one of two teams (Broncos) that have scored over 20 points in every game. Love this team - more guts than the fans, which is pretty cool. Can't even remember the last time we've won a road divisional game...
