billsfan1959 Posted January 5, 2020 Posted January 5, 2020 I am not depressed today. I was disappointed last night and let it go. 12 2
TheFunPolice Posted January 5, 2020 Posted January 5, 2020 Disappointed sure.... It's part of the ride... You buy in and go through the ups and downs with the team. Maybe it ruins your night or even weekend. But then you need to look forward to the next season. A couple of 13-3 teams are going home in the next couple weeks 3 1 1
JMF2006 Posted January 5, 2020 Posted January 5, 2020 Sad the season is over but not depressed. Looking forward to Free Agency the Draft ect. Plus my Leafs are doing well since Keefe took over. I might be depressed in April if they get knocked out in the first round again 1
Beast Posted January 5, 2020 Posted January 5, 2020 Not going to lie. I tossed and turned last night. I was not happy. Today? I'm just disappointed I won't see this team in the field until August. Ugh. 1
QB Bills Posted January 5, 2020 Posted January 5, 2020 Depressed yesterday. Angry today. Game was there for the taking. The Bills just blew it. 2 1
US Egg Posted January 5, 2020 Posted January 5, 2020 Not depressed, Josh Allen was the best player in the game. Busy trying to figure out which restaurant to go to for dinner. 2
GunnerBill Posted January 5, 2020 Posted January 5, 2020 Yea I have been pretty depressed all day. I am only half into this Saints game and that is unlike me. So glad I don't have to go back to work until Wednesday. 1 1
twist_to_open Posted January 5, 2020 Posted January 5, 2020 (edited) I'm already counting the days to the start of free agency and the draft. Because thats what I always do... Edited January 6, 2020 by twist_to_open 1

I have many friends still living in Buffalo who I'm quite sure didn't even watch the game, much less care who won or loss. They're pretty casual about the whole thing too.
NickelCity Posted January 5, 2020 Posted January 5, 2020 Well I, for one, have not let it go. Wish I could say I wasn't depressed about it. For me a wild card win was a successful season, and anything after was gravy. Failing to get there via a spectator meltdown hurts. 1
BillsfaninChicago Posted January 5, 2020 Posted January 5, 2020 (edited) I made the trip down to Houston and was really mad after the game. Then when I got back to my hotel which is located on a medical campus, I looked out my window at all the different hospitals that are dedicated to people that have real things to be upset about and I realized it was silly for a 37 year old to be mad about a football game. So I made a donation to the Shriners children’s hospital online, ordered some room service, drank 3 scotches, and everything felt a lot better. Go Bills! Edited January 5, 2020 by Leonhart2017 11 3
loveorhatembillsfan4life Posted January 5, 2020 Posted January 5, 2020 It was a fun ride that unfortunately ends so abruptly. I’ve enjoyed this season more than any other I can remember than the past 20 years. I felt we could win every game. The hardest part is itching to see what we can do this offseason and getting back on the field. 1
qwksilver Posted January 5, 2020 Posted January 5, 2020 I was upset last night. But knowing we are headed in the right direction eases some of the pain. So is KNOWING The PATS* won't be in the Super Bowl this year! 2
GoBills808 Posted January 5, 2020 Posted January 5, 2020 Fans have to learn to deal w/success just like teams

I have many friends still living in Buffalo who I'm quite sure didn't even watch the game, much less care who won or loss. They're pretty casual about the whole thing too. I have been a die hard fan of this team since 1968. I have followed every game they have played in that span. My son, who works and live in another state, talk 2-3 times a week about the Bills and Sabres, text during every game, and talk after every game. I have learned to not waste my time expending negative energy and emotions on things I cannot control and that have no tangible effect on my life. And, it is just a game. You can choose to deal with your emotions in a childish, maladaptive way, that is your right. I think it is ridiculous; however, I won't question how much of a fan you are. So, stop being a d*&k and questioning whether other posters are real fans because they choose to act more mature after a loss. 9 4 4
Sandhill Mike Posted January 5, 2020 Posted January 5, 2020 I expected the Jacksonville loss a couple of years ago and didn't have my hopes too high on this one... home field in the playoffs and all that. Then the Bills jumped out to that lead and if felt like the early nineties again. I am bummed out... it was there for the taking. I don't think it would bother me nearly as bad if the Texans had controlled the game from start to finish. At halftime, our guys had me believing they would be playing next weekend. I feel better than last night but I'm still salty about it. 3 2

I agree, however the greater question is why in hell did you become a Bills fan in 1968? That team stunk. 1 1
