Then you sit around waiting to drum up the courage to do something. And that's the hardest part. That's what really irks me about starting Peterman last week. "Hey, we're 5-4, in the playoff hunt, and we always suck on the West Coast. It's the PERFECT time to give the rookie QB his first start!" I can't think of a dumber coaching decision I've ever seen. Expand Throw him to the wolves against the Cheaters. That worked really well for JP's confidence. "It's only the Chargers, we zip in to the West Coast, get a win and get out... It's like going to Wisconsin."

Call_Of_Ktulu Posted November 21, 2017 Posted November 21, 2017 Just tail gate and don't watch or go to the games. The first few weeks I was getting by on watching the defense then changing the channel, now I cannot watch either. All I have left is kickoffs and field goals but I have to be fast with the clicker.

I don't think I have ever been this down on the franchise before. I doubt I will watch Sunday's game, or maybe I will just have it on the radio in the background while I put up the Christmas light. Expand I lurked for a few years and joined in 2009. If management had listened to fans with the intention of making decisions regarding the team, they would have gone insane. Look across the spectrum of views on this message board and you'll be hard pressed to find common ground on whether or not people even like this team, let alone some magical consensus on how to run it. I think the fact that management in this drought hasn't shown to be smarter than the average fan is a big part of the problem. The thought of a single, lonely, little Christmas light makes me sad. Soldier on, solitary yule luminescence. In light of this annual Bills collapse, the only hope for our holiday cheer rests with you.

Expand It's sorta fostering conversation, I'm in 0% mood to tune in for the game on Sunday. It has never been this bad since 1973, and that's absorbing a mountain of bull and horse and pig poo from the Bills.
LABILLBACKER Posted November 21, 2017 Posted November 21, 2017 If I had a $1 for every "I'm done" thread I'd have enough to buy the Bills, turn things around and then no one would ever be done again.

Expand See what happens now is you won't watch so then the Bills will beat the Chiefs. You'll say to yourself...sob we're still in it. So then you'll go to the home game where we will then get embarrassed again.

Expand And how you presented it is my point... you are frustrated and disheartened about what is/has been going. You are NOT saying I am done as you continue. It would analogous to "I am breaking up with you and you will NEVER hear from me again!!" not hearing anything back and then calling an hour later and saying "I REALLY mean it!! I am done with you!" ..... no you're not!

Expand Yeah we got relocated there for the Saints game bc some sea hag decided to spew her entire tailgate all over our seats right at kickoff. Unfortunately that was the highlight of the day. It is nice up there though, I’ll give you that. Just don’t think I’d like to be up there if the game mattered, I like it when my section gets rowdy. It’s a party when things are going well.
