Once upon a time when I was younger I'd be pissed

[Returntoglory]

Once upon a time, a loss like this , or any loss, would piss me off and ruin my week!

 

Not anymore.

 

I take these losses in stride now. Realizing that it's just a game and really is meaningless in the great scheme of things and really has no bearing on my life.

 

Being a Bills fan for almost 50 years does that to a person I suppose.

 

And this too shall pass.

I dunno.  I've been a fan for 45 years or so, and I almost smashed a laptop when they called the penalty for 12 men on the field.

Shove it old man, I'm at least 5 years younger than you

You’re full of it. LOL

 

If it truly didn’t bother you, you wouldn’t be on this site at 12:45am and you’d be in bed instead.

It really doesn't bother me.

 

And I am in bed 😉

I’m in my old now living on the west coast but still can’t quit my Bills nor want to. Listen ***** way to lose but all is not lost. 12-5 is a possibility if they play better. But it starts with the Jets.

My McDermott Boxers 😘

I couldn’t help but laugh when the flag was thrown on the missed field goal. Wouldn’t expect anything less from this team after 30 years of watching.

Same. I get pissed during the game and then for literally like 3 minutes after. It’s not healthy the way I used to let it impact my day/week. 
 

And it’s gotten to a point where it’s as funny as it is sad. I mean just when you think you’ve seen every Billsy thing from this team, they eek out a win just to throw it away with a penalty that literally only requires you to be able to count to avoid. 😂

Loser mentality.

 

Im sorry man. How many hours have you watched this team? I bet it’s a ton like the rest of us. Hours of your life wasted for what? So far, nothing!

 

I want my time rewarded just one mother bleeping time. I want a Super Bowl and won’t accept less.

My son is almost 6 months old now…having him makes me care a lot less about things like these games.  
 

My wife is a Niners fan…even though I put him through a table I made week 1 and baptized him Bills Mafia, I love him too much to continue to wish this tragic fanhood on him, especially since we live in CA.  So I’m all aboard him being a Niners fan now lol, rather him have a chance to enjoy sports and football than doom him to endure life as a Bills fan 😂

Might be the best thing to ever happen to.this franchise. IF...an offensive HC is brought in.

Same. Let it go.  Seems like we made a mistake keeping mcdermott and Dorsey.  I think the week 1 D would’ve been good enough to get us in the playoffs, but the injuries prevented that.  Then McD and co compounded the sitch by allowing Josh to get to this point.  Maybe it’s partially on the shoulder injury?  🤷🏻‍♂️ but they’ve got a couple weeks to figure it out.

Same here. at 44 I've reached a point in my life where my emotional well-being no longer hinges on the outcome of a sporting event.
