hondo in seattle Posted January 28, 2022 Posted January 28, 2022 When I was a younger man, I was a sports fan. Now I'm just a Bills fan. I don't watch baseball, basketball, hockey, et al, at all anymore. Once in a while, I might watch an NFL game that doesn't involve the Bills but that's rare. But I watch each and every Bills game. I might watch the Super Bowl this year. Then again, I might not because it'll irritate me the Bills aren't playing. Since I started meditating years ago, Bills losses don't linger with me like they used to. I've gotten better at letting things go. It's kind of weird, when you think about it, to get so emotionally invested in a bunch of kids playing a game. Yet I imagine I'll be a Bills fan until I die. I just hope we win a Super Bowl before then. 3 1 Quote
TheFunPolice Posted January 28, 2022 Posted January 28, 2022 Not for me, I enjoy the sport and the league too much. I'll be watching these games and of course the Super Bowl, which could shape up to be a great game. 1 Quote
RalphWilson'sNewWar Posted January 28, 2022 Posted January 28, 2022 There is just too many interesting storylines and amazing players who make incredible plays on a weekly basis (for me) to be Bills or Nothing. For example, knowing we in WNY were forced to watch Falcons v. Bills while Chiefs v. Bengals was on … just ugh! Just a big fan of the sport overall. Quote
HamSandwhich Posted January 28, 2022 Posted January 28, 2022 I won’t be watching the rest of the games, too painful. Quote
Albany,n.y. Posted January 28, 2022 Posted January 28, 2022 I'm bitter that I won't be going to the Super Bowl, I had everything planned if the Bills won the AFC, but I'll still watch this weekend and the Super Bowl on TV. Quote

BarleyNY Posted January 28, 2022 Posted January 28, 2022 I’m too big a fan of football to not be interested in what happens next. Sure, KC is going to demolish the Bengals. Burrow might get sacked more than last week. But the Rams vs the 49ers is a fascinating matchup. Shanny is the better coach, but McVay has better players, including a big advantage at QB. Xs and Os vs Jimmys and Joes. Same offensive roots in the wide zone, boot leg scheme, but they have gone in different directions with that. Quote
TampaBillsJunkie Posted January 28, 2022 Posted January 28, 2022 I'm done with the emotional part of rooting for any team. I could care less who wins now. It's Buffalo or nothing. Now it's about rooting for players to win money. Playing Fan Duel and making a few bets gives me some rooting interest in what's left of the season. My Fantasy Teams went #1, #2 and #3 this year across 3 leagues, but that's over. The sucky part of betting now is that I don't follow the other teams close enough to know who the sleepers may be. Betting on Buffalo players, it was easy to grab Breida on his streak, Knox, McKenzie and other unknown talents on a national level and win money. But now, trying to dissect who's going to step up out of nowhere and score make the bets a little harder. Quote
oldmanfan Posted January 28, 2022 Posted January 28, 2022 Could care less about the next two weeks. Quote

In a way, it's the same thing. When you focus intently on a task, worries about the future and regrets about the past all fall away. Quote

I won’t watch the Super Bowl for the first time since Oakland Phily in 1981. I’m destroyed by this loss! Pretty much feel the same way , hard to read anything about it.. and only read about it on here.. cant watch anything. will probably watch the games, but very apathetically 1 Quote
TheyCallMeAndy Posted January 28, 2022 Posted January 28, 2022 Yep totally in offseason mode for sure! My life is all coaching changes and cap space! Quote
without a drought Posted January 28, 2022 Posted January 28, 2022 Looks like it ended for all but 4 teams. Quote
BillsfaninSB Posted January 28, 2022 Posted January 28, 2022 I’m done. If the Bills had some Super Bowl wins I would probably watch. Quote

It didn't in my younger years; however, these days I simply enjoy my sports team, and when they are done for the season, I have no more interest. I would rather spend my time more productively. I’m in the same boat. I have a travel flag football team that I coach…..that’ll keep me busy in the off-season. 2 hours ago, SCBills said: Watch zero sports related content this week. Likely won’t watch the Championship Games. Will probably watch the Super Bowl though. Two weeks is enough to remove the sting, I hope. One week is not. I didn’t watch the Chiefs/Texans game after we lost to Houston either. This one is 100x worse given we should have won if not for our coaches, but I do think enough time will subside between now and 2 Sundays from now. I do this after a loss. No social media, sports shows or message boards till the next game. Now that the season is over I’ll probably watch the super bowl and come back when free agency starts. 1 Quote
Nextmanup Posted January 28, 2022 Posted January 28, 2022 Nope! Will be watching both games this weekend and SB and hopefully enjoying all of it. I'm a football fan, and it's a LONG off season! 1 Quote
In Summary Posted January 28, 2022 Posted January 28, 2022 Probably done. Time for hockey. Some good young Sabres talent worth watching. 1 Quote
