Does any part of you miss the losing?

[Einstein]

Before you immediately jump to answer "NO", realize that this question does not mean that you don't like winning.

 

I enjoy the Bills recent success and I root for a championship trophy. I have a man crush on Josh Allen that my colleagues find odd. That being said, part of me misses the drama of Flutie v Johnson, Bledsoe v Losman, the Fitzpatrick upward trajectory followed by the downward trajectory, top 10 pick draft talk, checking the playoff tiebreakers to find a 1 in 1,000 chance of making the tournament, etc. I wonder if the large swings in outcomes of the past created a dopamine response in my brain.

 

Does anyone else feel this way? Or perhaps I am in a party of one?

We are the most talented team in the NFL and you miss the crappy qb battles, crappy draft postion, and being fringe playoffs?

 

Unbelievable

[Steptide]

Definitely miss the whiner line and the super hot takes following a bad loss, but other than that, absolutely not. After 17 years of stress and misery and ptsd, we deserve this

I miss the honesty of the sincere fan versus many of the Johnny come latelys and bandwagon bunch.

Do I miss watching the shitstorm of the drought?  ***** no.

[Charles Romes]

It’s odd to feel uncomfortable when not blowing away the opposition by the second quarter, but I’m adjusting.

Forgot about the whiner line. That was good stuff.

I know what you mean. I was saying this to myself today at work. Like are we really this beastly? We're making the 07 Pats look like chumps.

I am excited to hear about the distinction.  How can you quantify the bandwagon bunch?  That's my first question.  I'm a fossil now, at 51, and I've been watching the team since diapers.  I guess that I'll be watching the team til my next round of diapers.  Next year.

Games over in the 3Q and 30 point blowouts might get old after a while. 

 

But no, I don't miss watching the Bills lose, lol. I could go for some  last minute wins/game winning drives sprinkled in on the way to 17-0.

[Rc2catch]

I would say I miss the hope aspect of a season you have no idea who might step up vs the expectations now. 
I love the underdog role. It’s not as fun for me when Buffalo is the hands down favorite. But I absolutely am enjoying the ride and it’s been extremely fun watching them build this team.

Wgr plays the pats “whiner line” now compiled from angry weei callers, which is hysterical 

[Warcodered]

How about we start missing losing after winning a Super Bowl?

[BillsFanNC]

Absolutely.  I also often wax nostalgic about that year long bout I once had with an intestinal parasite.

2022 Bills vs 2007 Pats. Who ya got?

[YoloinOhio]

If you ever want the live vicariously through that world, the Factory of Sadcast pod about the Browns is highly entertaining. 

[Augie]

Does anybody miss the days before all these crappy threads got started? 

 

Does anybody miss getting bullied in middle school? Didn’t think so.  Same kind of idea.
