Doc Posted September 15, 2009 Posted September 15, 2009 Bills losses just don't bother me as much as they used to, probably because they happen a lot and I realize I can't control them. They played well against a team everyone and their mother thought would dismantle them, and in typical fashion, lost thanks to some dumb plays. They showed a lot, but not that they're ready to win a big game like that on the road on MNF. But it was the first game of a 16-game season. And it was a road loss to a team everyone thought would have been a loss anyway. So onto the rest of the season.
SuperBills12 Posted September 15, 2009 Posted September 15, 2009 I'm still smarting Doc.....but I agree, I've become numb to these games...Can they learn and comeback next week is the question.
billsfan714 Posted September 15, 2009 Posted September 15, 2009 Me too, Im numb to these losses, I dont get my hopes up until theres 0:00 on the clock, been there too many times since the glory days. We these Bills you expect and wait for the one mistake to lose the game. Then watch it and think to yourself, yep, knew that was coming.

I can take it. I still root for the Bills.
Malazan Posted September 15, 2009 Posted September 15, 2009 The Bills are my team. Sure I moved away from Buffalo and the suckitude isn't cool. It doesn't mean I'm going to turn around and root for someone else or stop watching. I think you just have other things in your life and embrace being a fan whether they're good, bad or other.
Doc Posted September 15, 2009 Author Posted September 15, 2009 IMHO the Cowboys game was much worse. That was a home game and led to a 1-4 start. And the Patriots don't look like the best team in the division. Especially after trading Seymour and losing Mayo.
SDS Posted September 15, 2009 Posted September 15, 2009 are you really back after all these years? That was a good 5 years in between posts.
UConn James Posted September 15, 2009 Posted September 15, 2009 I'm still smarting Doc.....but I agree, I've become numb to these games...Can they learn and comeback next week is the question. A question that's been answered in the resoundingly negative in the past 3 years. Actually, the past 8 years.
ThereIsNoDog Posted September 15, 2009 Posted September 15, 2009 are you really back after all these years? That was a good 5 years in between posts. Yes Scott, I'm back. I'm having trouble staying logged-in, though.
May Day 10 Posted September 15, 2009 Posted September 15, 2009 this one feels numb because it is week one, against the popular favorite to win the super bowl, on the road, monday night, with all the changes and negativity..... I actually have a lot of positive feelings coming away with this game.
SDS Posted September 15, 2009 Posted September 15, 2009 Yes Scott, I'm back. I'm having trouble staying logged-in, though. what???
BuffaloWings Posted September 15, 2009 Posted September 15, 2009 I'm not numb. I feel the pain completely. I don't care. I can take it. I still root for the Bills. We're all used to it and there's no reason to hide the pain. As pi$$ed off as I was last night, I'm over it also. I'm taking this loss as a positive right now, despite the horrific, heart-breaking nature of it.
The Guy Posted September 15, 2009 Posted September 15, 2009 For the first time in 6 years the Pats* were scared. You could see it all over their faces. Yes, in the end they won but they know the tide is turning.

I just manage my expectations, so I don't get way too low as I used to after these devastating losses. I even turned to my wife last night when it was 24-13, and said, "I'm pretty sure we're going to find a way to blow this game." When it happened, I was prepared. Pretty sad.

I'm taking this loss as a positive right now, despite the horrific, heart-breaking nature of it. I'll say this for Bills fans and WNYer's; we're a tough lot! There's real mettle in being from the area and devoted to this team. Look at the words you used. Pain, Horrific, Heart-Breaking. No mincing, no hyperbole. Real. And we move on to a new day. More impressive, IMO, is the overwhelming positives most of us are taking from this. Overcoming a loss of this magnitude to a conference and divisional foe is very difficult, and impossible for the Bills this century. But there's real hope here and we have a trained eye and a tough gut to see it. Go Bills!
