major Posted July 15, 2006 Share Posted July 15, 2006 I'm looking forward to this season. I know we probably won't be going to the Super Bowl this year, but it will be fun to see this team grow. I will hate it if and when we lose games this season, but I think Marv and Dick are building a team that is going to be fun to watch over the next few years. I guess you could say I'm optimistic.

apuszczalowski Posted July 15, 2006 Share Posted July 15, 2006 According to the posters here, the term for you would be "Homer" or 'Dreamer". Around here optimistic means you think the Bills will win 2-3 games at most. You are to busy drinking the kool-aid the organisation is feeding everybody, this team sucks. I on the other hand, welcome you to the side that believe this team will actually be competitive and show lots of improvement and maybe even make a run for the playoffs, but we usually get pushed to the back corners of this board and told we don't know what we are talking about Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How's that sound? 724161[/snapback] great logic there. i think the bills will do decent this season, so now thats an "inner nancy" if you think the bills will go 0-16 and have a reasonable explanation, fine, but thats obviously proven to be too much thought and effort for you. its much easier to be a whiny little B word and go... waaah the bills suck! waaah jp sucks! waaah willis didnt show for camp! waaah the sabres suck! waaah ryan miller sucks!

I said 6-10. 1) The Bills did suck, or did you miss all of last year? 2) I'm a JP backer 3) Who cares? 4) They didn't suck. They broke my heart, but didn't suck. 5) His ability to stop shots from the point left me scratching my head after seeing him make some nigh-impossible saves up close. It's so easy to boil people's actual opinions into soundbytes. Let me try: YAY! Marv can walk on water! YAY! We're going 16-0 this year! YAY! Ralph is the greatest owner ever! YAY! Ryan Millert can do no wrong! See how that works? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
