I think the thing that I understand the least about the “realists”

[Patrick76777]

Is the joy they seem to get out of telling us how bad we’re going to be

And

The fervor with which they try to show us how wrong we are.

There's a lot of generalization there, and I think you'd have a lot more merit if you would talk about WHO you think gets "joy out of telling us how bad we're going to be."

I sure as hell take no joy in the fact I think the Bills arent going to be good this year. I cant really think of anyone else on here either, unless they are a Miami fan (or in one case, a Panthers fan)

I do agree there are people on here who think we're gonna suck that would rather see the Bills suck just so they can be right. I really hope I'm wrong, I'd love to see the Bills be a contender.

I don't get any joy out of the Bills being bad.

When I'm convinced I'm right, I always defend my point with fervor. If I thought the Bills were going to be good, I'd have just as much fervor in trying to convince the "realists" that they're wrong.

Besides "Hope" and "Faith"..

WHy doesnt someone present some evidence floating around in their heads as to WHY the Bills will be good THIS YEAR, instead of this "Homer" or "realist" crap..

Maybe someone will present me with something that I do not currently see.

There can't be any evidence that the Bills will be good since the season is in the future. I don't think many of the homers would bet their life savings that the Bills will be good. They just won't accept that the season is going to be horrible before any games are played.

Seriously, I don't get it either.

If someone thinks we are going to be so horrible, why don't they go away and root for someone else?

You're hoping for the joy of being able to say "I told you so".

Hey, it's easier to pick non-winning lottery numbers than winners. Look at me. I'm still 100%!

I predicted the Bills would be bad in 05 and I never did the "I told you so" thing until people started criticizing my predictions for this year a few weeks ago. I'd much rather be wrong and have the Bills do well.
