Bing Bong Posted September 17, 2018 Posted September 17, 2018 Folks, TBD's getting divided like crazy, and that's understandable. We're going through a rough season. I think I can speak for many on the board when some of us get the "you're not a Bills fan" accusation. Really? We just post on a Bills board, and watch every game and desperately root to win. Every. Week. It's asinine to throw around someone's fandom. Understand that some of us have patience to see if Beane's process will work out eventually and have a strong conviction in this. Understand that others don't like a GM responsible for what we're seeing right now. Call it being competitive, some people are rooting for a win week in and week out. I was psyched to see Josh Allen with time to pull of a comeback on Sunday. And then a series of comical failures eliminated us from the game in the time it takes for me to go to the restroom. That's called an emotional roller coaster. I didn't like what happened week 1 and week 2. If that doesn't make me and anybody else a fan to feel that way, then what the heck is a fan to begin with? Anyways, post your Fitz memes below. https://goo.gl/images/7xWpV2 5
White Linen Posted September 17, 2018 Posted September 17, 2018 This is a bit strange I must say. What's the connection between addressing potentially turning on each other and Fitz memes? 3
row_33 Posted September 17, 2018 Posted September 17, 2018 part of the fun on here wish the fun was due to excellent play by the Bills

Just now, row_33 said: part of the fun on here wish the fun was due to excellent play by the Bills 100% agree. Super fun to argue. But not when people are legit losing their **** with other posters. Haven't even seen this during the Rex Ryan years lol. 2
LSHMEAB Posted September 17, 2018 Posted September 17, 2018 Right. Far too many people associate pessimism with lack of passion. Nothing could be further from the truth. There is not a whole lot to be excited about with this team right now. It is what it is. 1
Buffalo Boy Posted September 17, 2018 Posted September 17, 2018 THE WHY DID YOU POST A PIC OF Fitzpatrick????? YOU ARE NOT A REAL FAN.......YOU BIG JERK FACE? 1

See... the "desperately root to win" is not always the case. It is PERFECTLY acceptable to be critical EVEN pessimistic, however, fandom leaves the building when people gloat in the Bills' miserable games. The act of someone wanting to be right OFTEN trumps cheering for success. Finally, can you HONESTLY say there aren't "fans" wanting to see Allen fail because they are mad about Tyrod? Or they wanted Mahomes? Or they wanted Watson? Or wanted Rosen? etc.. Yeah thought so Edited September 17, 2018 by aceman_16 3

I haven't seen a Rosen post at all in games, felt like 90% of people were excited to see Allen in action. I've mostly just been Beane bashing. I didn't gloat about Peterman's week 1 performance or career to date, more like.. "WHO MADE THIS DECISION" cause you know.. it was a bad decision. I'm not happy to be right when I thought Peterman shouldn't have started. But i was angry he did and let it be known.

It is fun to see people lose it. I'm just starting to get really pissed off at posters now haha. My conspiracy theorist mind believes a paid social media team is all over TBD with the posts that look so similar, no matter the poster, or record, or score. You know what I'm talking about lol. the "you guys, this is all part of the plan. This is EXACTLY what the staff wants". The paid Bills media team is working overtime and copy and pasting their favorite lines from their shared word doc and it's pissing me off!

There were Darnold, Fitz, Tyrod and other QBs that people wanted more in them - no projection needed just reading comprehension. PS I was NOT an Allen fan. For the record over a year ago I wanted Mayfield when it was thought he would go at the end of the first round. He IS growing on me though. Edited September 17, 2018 by aceman_16 Added my initial thoughts on Allen
