Anyone shed a tear?

I did today watching the highlights..

They (cbs, all sports channels) have the visuals and sound mixed live creatively for broadcast. It's subtle but they are very clever the mixers on the live sports feed.. When the Bills scored and you see Allens family celebrating.. they 'drop the sound out' so that the mix of a small section of away supporters in the crowd comes through more. (Might literally be Allens family). It changes from the whole crowd sound on the main wide shots, so you can hear this small section and it really highlights the underdog, away thing.. 

They mix throughout the game between the loud home supporters and the Bills audio support they choose to. If you notice on the throw to Davis in the EZ they cut to the same audio feed as the Allens Family image (you can hear a few more female voices cheering, just coming through) which makes it feel very emotional when they show Allens family. It's done I think to make the emotional link between his family, mom there rooting for him. 

It's all done to make you feel like nothing is done if you know what I mean - They are very good at creating an underdog vs giant narrative with it and it adds to the drama.

They also mix to the players when there's a TD and when Davis scored the last touchdown you hear Diggs saying 'shut the f'*** up!!!! '

I choked up a bit as I told my wife I’m cursed.

I held them back right after the game but I did shed one after I thought about how the coaches let Allen down for not securing the win for him.

This game happened the same day I found out my dog has cancer, so yes, i shed some tears.

I'm sorry to hear that man. I lost my mother to cancer three months ago and realised that the season was some distraction.

I teared up at 13 seconds. I honestly didn't think there was a chance they'd lose, and I'm as pessimistic as anyone.

 

Then I saw the defense alignment and started screaming immediately. What are they doing!

[Billznut]

Devastated but didn’t shed any tears. I’m also proud that I didn’t break anything or put any holes in the walls. 30-40 years ago, I would have and sometimes did. 

[Shortchaz]

No tears but nearly puked a few times

I broke my front door. This is why I wasn't at the airport at 3 freaking am to greet the Bills

[Billsfansinceday1]

No, but I scared the hell out of the cat.

I got emotional not just because of the loss but because of my daughter.  She's as big as Bills fan as you'll find, and is planning to move from Orlando to start grad school in the fall.  She has a home and a family with the folks at the Bills Backers bar she goes to for every game, and she got very emotional because she knew that Sunday may be the last time she gets to watch a game with those folks.

I get it.  The previous week, the only positive note was the Bills' destruction of the Patriots.  That Friday, we had to put our dog to sleep and on game day we had to euthanize our cat.  An absolutely brutal weekend.

No tears, just anger.

I will get emotional AFTER the Bills win the Superbowl other then that, forget it

Had the same emotional reaction at 13 seconds, the feeling of relief that this team is different, this is really the year, we’re gonna do it

 

Which of course made what came next all that much worse

I'm past being sad and disappointed.  Woke up today kind of angry.  13 seconds, jeez.  McD and Frazier were so outsmarted and out-executed by Reid and Co.  Makes me sick since there are countless Bills fans that will probably be deceased by the time the team comes this close again.  

The hard work in the game was already done.  All they had to do was protect 13 seconds for the W.  

[BillsFanNC]

No tears. Just anger that boiled over into fury. Kicked a lawn chair and launched some grill utensils into the woods behind my man cave.

Losing is tough but losing like this is just cruel. 13 seconds, MCM, wide right. It seems we have had more heartbreaking losses than most other fanbases.

I actually had a dream the bills won the super bowl this season.  Just thinking about that dream brought a tear to my eye.  *****.  

[Steptide]

No, but woke up yesterday morning feeling like I just wanted to break down and let it all out. This feels like that girl you were head over heels in love with and she left you for another guy.
