Burned out?

[damj]

I don't know if it's just me ... but after the last 13 weeks, I'm burned out with this team. I'm a season ticket holder,  and I'll be out there the next 2 weeks regardless and sporting the red, white and blue ... but I really don't care anymore.

 

But then again, maybe it is just me ... I don't care about much of anything any more. 

 

I looked to the Bills to be a distraction from everything else in my life,  but they're just as F'd as everything else

[GoBills808]

They've been a tough follow speaking emotionally the last few seasons, no doubt

 

But our brand of football is miles better than it was before all these guys got here so I'm still very much enjoying it

Clothes/menswear is a pretty fun hobby but it gets expensive rather quickly.  But it’s a really fun journey for a middle aged man.

Same here ... I bought into seasons last year after a 25 year hiatus and I'm love loving it ... I love the memories I'm building with my son ...

... I guess where I'm at is after Covid ... then 2022 which was one sh!storm after another... I was looking forward to this season to take my mind off it all.  I wasn't expecting Superbowl and I thought the AFC was going to be a tough fight... but this team has underwhelmed at every turn. I'll be out there every week still cheering, but it just doesn't feel the same anymore. 

 

Then again,  maybe it's the bourbon/ Jack Daniel's cooler / White Claw / vodka talking ... or the heartfelt convo with my coworker talking...

Why do people get so damn depressed about everything? Yeah, they aren't playing well. It happens but posts like this are just ridiculous

Maybe because I am depressed. Thanks for your support 👍

 

Maybe I'm making a point what is supposed to be a fun distraction from all the sh!t that drags us down every day isn't anymore

You should try to get out of your funk. Speak to family or friends. In an extreme case talk to a mental health pro about possible depression. many people feel "down" this time of year. Good luck, buddy.

doesn’t need to be an extreme case to visit some with training in mental health. Folks in the mental health field have a passion for helping people no issue is too small if it’s bringing you down.

I'm oddly optimistic about the rest of this season.  I guess one of us is going to get surprised.  

[Doc Brown]

Misery loves company which is why I regularly converse with my brother in law who's a Jets fan.  He currently thinks Aaron Rodgers purposely sabotaged the Jets by agreeing to the trade because Woody Johnson made his fortune off of the vaccine distributing big pharma company Johnson and Johnson.  He thinks Rodgers purposely tore his Achilles, convinced Jets management that he could turn Zach Wilson into a legit QB so they wouldn't offer any alternatives after he was injured week 1 to sabotage their season, and will engineer another catastrophic injury of week 2 of next season (week 1 would look too suspicisious).  Thus, ruining a great defense who all are about to want to get paid who he knew would be good enough where they wouldn't get the top two QB prospects of this year's draft.  He also thinks Belichick is the mastermind behind the whole plan but can't make the connection yet.

 

So, my professional advice.  Become friends with a Jets fan, Panthers fan, or Commanders fan and you'll feel a whole lot better about the Bills future compared to theirs.

I felt burned out this time last year. I've seen enough teams that didn't have "it", to be relatively certain that this one doesn't either. After all of the excuses of the team  being "emotionally exhausted" last year after completely laying down, I looked to the off-season to figure out which way things would go, and all I saw there was more "trust the process" nonsense that said while we addressed some holes and brought in some talent, we didn't bring in any difference makers that would put us over the top. Once we started seeing the product on the field, I was anything but surprised.

I couldn't even allow myself to get excited during the Eagles game because I was sure we'd throw up all over ourselves. Now that we have, it just reinforces all the negativity. Something big is going to have to change for me to get excited again, because this team is going no where as it stands.

A win will make you feel better

I watched 4 Superbowl losses in a row, 3 of them live. This is nothing.

That’s ironic. Because for me the 80’s and early 90’s were the only time that made sense to me.

i was at that point for several weeks this year. emotionally checked out, and hardly bothered by terrible games to the bengals and broncos.  and then somehow i got sucked back in during the eagles game. that game might have irritated me more than 13 seconds. it was definitely the most charged up ive been since that game, anyway.

Agree. I swore more during that game than I have in quite a while. Probably because my expectations for a win going in were low, then increased greatly by halftime, only to be dashed (again).

When I'm depressed about the Bills I try to spend more time with my children. I talk to them, ask them how they're getting on in school, how old they are now, things like that.
