I'm going to remain skeptical until the team clinches a playoff berth.

I am going to remain hopeful and optimistic all the while knowing that there are a lot of problems and question marks with the team and knowing I dont know if they are going to play good or bad, win or lose, and I'll have a much better week leading up to the game than you. :devil: I will then feel just as good if they win and just as bad as they lose.

we'll hafta hear everyone say that they had faith in JP and the defense all along and they knew we would pull togethr as a team, and TD is a genious for (signing/drafting/trading for) <insert player of the game here>

wouldn't be a surprise at all to see us beat the saints.......

 

the problem is this team is built to beat up on losers but come up short against winners........this all comes back to cutting corners and signing grade B talent (or sometimes C, or even D) when grade A talent is available......the "moneyball" theory hasn't worked in baseball and it's not working for the bills either.......

Then I strongly suggest you try learning to deal with the negativity on this board as well as you deal with the actual Bills game losses.

 

People come here to talk Bills football, both the good and the bad. When the Bills are playing bad football - like they have in the past two weeks - you've got to expect that the discussions will be more negative.

 

And if you can't deal with it, then either don't read the boards after a loss or block the users that tend to be overly negative and whose posts you don't enjoy reading.

You said "nancies" and "polyanna" in the same post. For that you shall be banned!

They will say it wasn't a real road test since it didn't take place in New Orleans. A real road victory won't happen until they beat a team on the road in their own home town.

I can deal with it. In fact, it's kind of fun to read, and prompts some of the greatest wiseass rejoinders you'll find anywhere. I don't expect all or even most posts to be positive, and this place would totally suck if they were. We're playing lousy now, in the last two games, and there are a lot of good arguments as to why.

 

But you completely missed my point, which was, the overriding pessimism and skepticism and doom from a large portion of the posters (not necessarily meaning you) just doesn't make for a good experience during the week.

 

It's always finding more to complain about and more blame to throw around and more disastrous predictions if things don't drastically change. And that kind of mindset makes for a lot of pissed off people and ones that aren't a lot of fun to be around. Versus the ones that see and know things are bad, voice their opinions on what sucks and what doesn't, but see that things are rarely as good or as bad as they seem, and look forward to the next game. It makes the week fun rather than miserable. And it's a choice.

OK, I agree with that. I don't like the blind negativity either, though the occasional bharami98 type of meltdown is glorious fun for all!

 

But I'll take negative posts that are backed well with facts and/or possible solutions over the rose colored glasses posts that always say, "Bills rule! Final score, Bills: 100, Saints: -100."

 

But that's just me. OK, I'll go back to wallowing in my misery now :(

Sad but so true. Having said that I'm more interested in seeing improvement on both sides of the ball. If they do that I won't be nearly as upset over a loss.

I have no desire to be proven right about TD and JPL. I would much rather be proven wrong and be subject to message board ridicule-by the Bills winning and looking better-then be right in anyway.

 

Just one impressive win this Sunday would be enough for me to start to reconsider my position on the Bills' chances for this season.
