JerseyBills Posted November 17, 2020 Posted November 17, 2020 (edited) After the catch last night, I immediately left my house. I put my phone on the passenger seat of my car and took off with no destination in mind. I hit the power on my radio, probably out of pure habit and instantly shut it off as sports talk blared through the speakers. I was in shock. I was upset. A familiar feeling I've experienced for ar least 13 years overtook my body, My beloved Bills just lost another "Billsy" game and I was upset about it! After feelings of pure joy and euphoria for about 2.5 minutes , these feelings suddenly attacked me! A funny thing happened though, the last 14 years of being 18+ and expecting that Billsy loss hangover, I wake up still feeling great about my Beloved Bills, in November!! They were a fluke play away from beating a very good team. They overcame adversity with the Covid situation, with a rough 2nd half , but still took the lead with 35 seconds remaining! I wake up realizing this team is for real Played another very good team close for 60 minutes Yes they took the L but through 10 games ,a 7-3 record, they proved they're the real deal and legit SB contenders , in my eyes..

Another Fan Posted November 17, 2020 Posted November 17, 2020 I pretty much agreed with everything you wrote except being legit SB contenders. I still have a hard time believing the team is there just yet. But yeah it definitely doesn’t feel like the 2009 McKelvin fumble debacle 2 1

I still disagree and believe they can beat any team on any given Sunday and to me that makes em SB contenders Edited November 17, 2020 by JerseyBills 1

When Hopkins made the catch, I laughed. I thought to myself, that doesn’t take away the fact that JA led another great should be GW drive. Diggs is a stud. Beasley made one of the best catches I’ve ever seen. Our D made huge stops prior to the Hail Mary. Bass has JA’s arm for his leg. We lost to a pretty good team on a fluke perfect 50 yard pitch and catch. What can you do? If that one play doesn’t happen, the narrative is completely changed. Everyone would be talking about how clutch JA is and we’d be thinking super bowl. but now.....we just get to see the overly sensitive show themselves 7 1

billsbackto81 Posted November 17, 2020 Posted November 17, 2020 (edited) I was shocked and wanted to throw up. I thought we'd go into our bye 8-2 and in total control of the division regardless of what Miami did. A whole 2 weeks to heal up key players and scheme up new gameplay for the stretch run. Letting Miami know it doesn't matter what you do, we'll just keep winning. If we won going into the bye the pressure would have been on them to keep pace and now they have incentive to gain ground. They're the ones who keeping winning. Fueling their fire and building momentum and confidence every week. Personally, I don't think they've been all that impressive but style points matter very little when you're winning. Now, they may very well still flame out and crash but as of now it doesn't look like it. These final 6 games will be very telling and test the resolve of this team and coaching staff. This loss is gonna sting for awhile. Edited November 17, 2020 by billsbackto81 1 1
Doc Brown Posted November 17, 2020 Posted November 17, 2020 I came away thinking this team is going nowhere if it can't stop the run or run the football effectively. Same as it's been in the NFL since its inception. 3

Coffeesforclosers Posted November 17, 2020 Posted November 17, 2020 Anybody living and dying with every game needs to get a grip. 7-3 at the bye, 4-0 in the division, and you'd think this team was playing like the Jets if you read this board. The team made a play and beat NE, they didn't and lost to AZ, that's just football. Jesus, after toughing it out since the Clinton administration, you'd think fans would be just a bit more even keeled. 4

Same as it's been in the NFL since its inception. See I agree completely but just 2.5 weeks ago they rushed for nearly 200 and got the W Cards were the 2nd best run team in the game and besides 5-6 big runs, we stood tall. We still didn't run effectively but put up 30 and took a 4 point lead with 35 sec. So the gameplan worked. 1

You’d think this team and coaching staff was a bunch of bums even though we are about to go to the playoffs 3 out of 4 under the new regime. 1

QCity Posted November 17, 2020 Posted November 17, 2020 I think some of you need to lay off the liquor and save up that money and invest in a shrink, because if a single play in the middle of November can do this to you, professional help is warranted. 2 2 1
Gonzonzo Posted November 17, 2020 Posted November 17, 2020 I feel the same way. It huts we lost, but this team is for real.

It worked against the Cards in a dome but it's not going to work in December/January outside against teams like Steelers, Ravens, Chiefs, Titans, etc... 15 minutes ago, JerseyBills said: I I immediately left.
