Every year I go into the season with high expectations for the Bills. I go in thinking they have a shot at making some noise, winning some games, and possibly making the playoffs.
This year, my expectations were different. I didn't expect playoffs, and didn't really know what to expect from the team. After the first 2 games, my expectations were growing again, and after a 2-2 start, my expectations were high again. Going into the Detroit game with the possibility of being 3-3 going home for the Pats and Packers, I was nearly extatic. I was thinking 4-4 after 8 games, wow, that would be great. The second half of the season has some very winnable games.
Well, that's all fricken changed, again. Every year the god damn Bills fool me into having some false sense of hope, and frankly, I'm sick and tired of it. I'm sick of getting my hopes stomped on. I'm sick of getting worked up every Sunday, only to be pissed off and depressed after a loss. I don't mind losing to teams that are superior (The Bears) but I hate losing to teams that should be wins (Lions).
That being said, I will no longer have expectations for this team, ever. I will still watch every game, cheer when they win, but i will no longer care if they lose. Life is way to short to get pissed off over a stupid football team, especially one that hasn't won anything meaningful in nearly 2 decades.
The wool will not be pulled over this sheep's eyes EVER again.
