Johnny Hammersticks Posted January 12, 2018 Posted January 12, 2018 Another 17 year drought? I’d be 55 by then and probably more interested in LL Bean catalogues and healthy bowel movements. No probs. 1

Buffalo_Gal Posted January 12, 2018 Posted January 12, 2018 I'll probably be dead from old age in 17 years, soooo... no.

JP never felt right, but then it was Trent Edwards pre-hit but nothing happened.

I guess the point is I never assumed a drought would happen and I never really noticed until we were knee deep in it. While I think McBean has us pointed in the right direction what if another drought slowly crept up on us. Would you have the stomach for it? To be truthful, unless there's a significant change in officiating, I'm more likely to barf out of watching the NFL than I am to be troubled by another Bills drought.

TigerJ Posted January 12, 2018 Posted January 12, 2018 If they started another 17 year drought next season, there's a good chance I'll be dead before it's over.

DallasMac Posted January 13, 2018 Posted January 13, 2018 I wouldn't be surprised to see us take a small step back next year depending on what we do at Qb. The following year will be the jump hopefully. No way this team goes through another 17 year drought, but it will definitely be fun to take that next step and get the playoff win.
BillsFan130 Posted January 13, 2018 Posted January 13, 2018 Got no choice if it does happen. I will be watching this team every year no matter what
BadLandsMeanie Posted January 13, 2018 Posted January 13, 2018 (edited) I could survive 17 years of honest effort that failed. I won't survive 17 more years of excuses why they do not do what they need to do, and why it is not their fault they they haven'y done what they needed to do. Personally I won't listen to any more of that stuff, at all. Lucky for me with the new guys, I am pretty sure I won't need to listen to that kind of stuff any more. Wait, come to think of it, I am not entirely sure I mentally survived this one. So how do I answer? Edited January 13, 2018 by BadLandsMeanie 1

It sneaks up on you.You dont even know it and it hits you.If we dont get a very good QB this offseason thru the draft you can pretty much count on years and years of utter horror.Just like the horror of the past 18 yrs.
BilLions Posted January 13, 2018 Posted January 13, 2018 May stop watching but if not, would be painful. but I'd survive. Oddly I wonder if it would be as fun to be a fan if they won all the time.

That's so true. The officiating is making the game unwatchable. Seriously, unwatchable. I only watch Bills games and then the odd one here or there.

I know dilution of good whiskey is anathema to some, but I figure I don't dilute it - I pour it undiluted over my ice.
