No “I quit the Bills” threads on TBD!? I am shocked!

@MAJBobby

 

your reply gave me pause. Conscious uncoupling as in divorce myself from football. Copy.

 

TCK. It's a nice theory.

[technobot]

There's no quit from me.

 

This year's Bills do share some of the qualities of the drought teams:

 

-  unreliable offense

- some great defensive performances wasted by said offense as the defense is eventually too tired to make a critical stop

- being "un-clutch" and knowing as a Bills fan that the team will dig deep, and find a way to lose games they could easily win

- questionable coaching

 

The difference being we supposedly have so much star power compared to the drought. But like the drought, we seem so unprepared and wilt in pressure situations.

I said last night in the GDT that if the Bills trot out the same coaching staff next week, I'm not watching.  I'm not "done with the Bills", I'm just going to watch the ticker and grumble under my breath like I did during the Jauron/Trent Edwards/Rex Ryan years.

 

I've got two year old twins that need my time and I'm done wasting it on this iteration of the Bills.

I still watch them. But I made a conscious decision near the end of the drought to stop allowing something I am supposed to be doing for fun make me feel so miserable. 
 

took about two full years to get there. But I am there now. The NFL Hubris in failing to address their yearly bad product like officials helped speed that along a bit as well.

I'll never quit on the Bills but I have quit on this regime.

 

It's in the best interest of the team to reset the coaching and leadership and I'll take a losing record this year to do it. If some people say that's not being a fan, f*** 'em, I'm thinking about the best long-term interests of the Bills and Josh Allen, an elite QB now halfway through his best years with nothing to show for it.

In the vein of the "bad relationship analogy"...

 

Billy lost his job and is on the sauce again...it's going to be a rough couple months...but, we'll get through it.  I'm Irish Catholic, a divorce isn't in the books but some drunk fight nights are certainly ahead...

[Goin Breakdown]

Typically saying that your done with this garbage gets met with "cheer for another team" or "don't let the door hit ya". Complimenting a team during this garbage is met with "homer" so I'm not sure what we want here.

I will say, it IS getting harder to waste 3-4 hours of my time watching pitiful football,

only to have the rug pulled out from under your feet EVERY week with another unbelievable way to lose a game.

They really didn't deserve to win...but, we obviously would've taken it.

I won't "quit the Bills"...but, they are so underperforming (mostly offense, obviously)!!

If you expected this trainwreck (obviously I did) than it eases the blow so to speak.

Yes it sucks and disappointing that the season is all but over before the holidays like the drought years, but there is so much more to life than being invested so heavily in a ***** football team and letting crippling anxiety dictate your daily life.

 

And I encourage everyone else to let it go and enjoy the rest of the meaningless string of games. Trust me it will do wonders for your mental and emotional well being.

Eh I think a lot of us after the Pats loss realized who this team was and it just is what it is right now.

[ndirish1978]

1 - Those are generally LAMP threads and the OP then proceeds to get roasted for 2-3 pages depending on the level of cringe in the post because hurt people hurt people. 

2 - I think a lot of folks just stop watching football altogether when we suck. I don't think I could look at myself in the mirror if I switched loyalties, that's what Massholes do.

The fact we lost in itself did not surprise me. It’s how we lost at the very end, more than anything else. In one moment, the most important moment of the entire game, we witness The ultimate representation of coaching failures we have endured for way too long.  Proof that where other teams GROW from these experiences, we do not.  Defending Hail Marys are the perfect example there.  
 

I knew the Bills were not very good this season, and I knew losing was a real possibility, as I said, but it’s when you lose by doing sh*t that NO OTHER TEAM IN THE NFL does… that’s when it’s unbearable for me. Wish I could be numb like a few of our other fans….. truly. 
 

As ugly as last night was, as bad as the team looked, I am still a die hard Bills fan and I still care a lot (unfortunately), so for a very brief moment, even more brief than “13 seconds”, I believed we won the game and I was literally jumping for joy……… but of course it ended up being too good to be true.

Oh, the comments are sprinkled throughout all the other threads already.

Not me ... I don't know the meaning of the word quit.

Everyone likely to go that route has had ample opportunity this season, they've likely come and gone multiple times already.

[GottaRun]

I won’t quit, but for the first time in 20 years I left with 6 minutes left in the 3rd.  I can live with winning and losing but I can’t live with boring, and I find the current Bills boring.

 

it was a relief to be half way home when the Bills blew it.

[QCity]

I was expecting at least one "Sell the team" thread.
