Augie Posted May 19, 2016 Posted May 19, 2016 Depends on the wager. Edit: Scratch that, I get it haha. I would be wise to bet him Not a gambler myself, but free money has a certain appeal.
NoSaint Posted May 19, 2016 Posted May 19, 2016 Then I suppose its a good thing that I haven't said anything even resembling that. My point, which is best understood by reading only what it is written, is that choosing to conflate the current status of the team with the last 15 years of utter mismanagement and despair, is a decidedly illogical way to view things and results in a more pessimistic view. You have not. But it's often been used as a line where suddenly all is new and improved. So far it's different, and different is exciting but really could break either direction long term
Buffalo Barbarian Posted May 19, 2016 Posted May 19, 2016 What about the equally annoying "Obnoxiously Obtuse Optimists" ??? I am not exactly a doom-sayer, but come on... this team has wallowed in stupidity and played punching bag to the PayTiolets for the better part of two decades now. Exactly how does that even come close to inspiring any real optimism, especially when year after year, this board is alight with blind-faith, blue sky optimism with little more than a few roster moves, maybe a signing of a washed up high priced free agent, and a bunch of gutless puffy chested tweets from a few players about how great they think they are? Before you reply and bash me, step back, and just look at the last 20 years of nonsense we've endured. If I'm even close to wrong, then I'll take my lumps. preach!
GunnerBill Posted May 19, 2016 Posted May 19, 2016 Whaley probably isn't as good as I think. Rex probably isn't as bad as I think. Am I a moderate? What if Rex is as bad as I think (and my thoughts on that matter pre-date his arrival in Buffalo) but I really, really want him to be better and hope he is this year? Does that make me confused?

simpleman Posted May 19, 2016 Posted May 19, 2016 Easy- The good looking women IMO. As a single guy who can do more than just look, I prefer available women who do, over just good looking. Looks are not everything, attitude and availability are a key for a fun night and a nice brunch in the morning.
Dave in Avon Lake now Posted May 19, 2016 Posted May 19, 2016 I'm an optimist, but have dealt with the mediocrity of just good enough to not land a franchise QB to not good enough to land in the playoffs. Every year I think it will get better and my optimism renews. A few times we have been close enough to & 2014, but then crashed and burned at the end. Until we figure out how to beat the Patriots at least once a year, I feel we are doomed to this fate yearly. Here's hope for a new season. Go Bills!
Seasons1992 Posted May 19, 2016 Posted May 19, 2016 I don't mind being suckered in each year. Honestly that's half the fun. The other half is drinking. *stands and applauds*
Tenhigh Posted May 19, 2016 Posted May 19, 2016 As one who has been tailgating with people from TSW at every home game for two decades........definitely the realists. I find the "optimists" in person to really be a depressed, worried, low self of steam lot. We rarely talk Bills at all during the tailgate.......because there isn't much good to say and the tailgate party is about celebrating. This forum however is specifically about the discussion of Bills football........it isn't a tailgate or a cheerleading forum. Low self of steam?!?!?!??!?!?!?!? We're FULL of steam, as in FULL STEAM AHEAD!!! As opposed to simple hot air, which is what you miserable turkeys are full of
BringBackFergy Posted May 19, 2016 Posted May 19, 2016 Based on page and post total...you guys don't have as much of a following as the optimists in the other thread. Better consult your playbook and stoke the fires some more.
FireChan Posted May 19, 2016 Posted May 19, 2016 Based on page and post total...you guys don't have as much of a following as the optimists in the other thread. Better consult your playbook and stoke the fires some more. Time to bring out the big guns. A treatise.
BringBackFergy Posted May 19, 2016 Posted May 19, 2016 Time to bring out the big guns. A treatise. Yes....and if you could "scoop" some stories, you might have more firepower.
John from Riverside Posted May 19, 2016 Posted May 19, 2016 As one who has been tailgating with people from TSW at every home game for two decades........definitely the realists.

We rarely talk Bills at all during the tailgate.......because there isn't much good to say and the tailgate party is about celebrating. This forum however is specifically about the discussion of Bills football........it isn't a tailgate or a cheerleading forum. We have obviously not tailgated together......although I do hope to get up there eventually! Putting my bills flag up the palm tree outside my house on game day is irritating the Raider and Charger fans that live around me....
2020 Our Year For Sure Posted May 19, 2016 Posted May 19, 2016 Personally, I'm a "glass half full" kind of guy. Unfortunately, it's half full of sh*t.
Steve Billieve Posted May 19, 2016 Posted May 19, 2016 They actually compliment each other quite well. It's a stellar approach with a proven record.
Over 29 years of fanhood Posted May 19, 2016 Posted May 19, 2016 As a single guy who can do more than just look, I prefer available women who do, over just good looking. Looks are not everything, attitude and availability are a key for a fun night and a nice brunch in the morning. You sound like the perfect wing man.
bananathumb Posted May 19, 2016 Posted May 19, 2016 I was optimistic right up until the first, then second, then third, then fourth Super Bowl losses. Nothing to be positive about since the Norwood kick missed. If you can think of something, let me know.
hondo in seattle Posted May 19, 2016 Posted May 19, 2016 I was a card-carrying member of the OOO for years. But look where it got me. I think I'm joining the NNN. Gotta try something different.
The Big Cat Posted May 19, 2016 Posted May 19, 2016 I was a card-carrying member of the OOO for years. But look where it got me. I think I'm joining the NNN. Gotta try something different. Please. The OOO in you believes that converting to NNN will be the difference. And it's the OOO in me that believes the same and will thank you to GTFO.
John from Riverside Posted May 19, 2016 Posted May 19, 2016 I was a card-carrying member of the OOO for years. But look where it got me. I think I'm joining the NNN. Gotta try something different. Your gonna feel all dirty and need a shower
