I seem to invest a lot of my emotions in this team. Does anyone else have these issues? Or should I just seek professional help?
For me, this game was a microcosm of the entire 2006 season. My level of hope was built up multiple times in various categories, each to be dashed with extreme horror. The culmination being the end of the fourth quarter. By half way through the fourth quarter, that dark seed of doubt began creaping in. Man, I said to myself, it would be just like last year if we let Denver work their way down field and kill us with a last minute field goal. Ah, but then my hope returned! We've got the ball back. All we need to do is kill the clock! Oh, wait, no, it is just like last year. . . with a special crap cake served up as desert - Denver somehow manages to set a record with bringing out the FG unit in 11 seconds. I swear that Elam never broke stride out of his sprint from the sideline. He just swung his leg when he got to the ball.
Heartbreaking just doesn't cover this. My wife doesn't understand why I keep watching these games as I'm an emtional wreck after each one and frequently grumpy for a good 24 hours follow each loss (which is more of the rule these days). Since we met in 2001, the Bills have basically sucked. I can't wait until she can see the positive side of this addiction we call Buffalo Bills Football.
I feel like I did when the Titans executed that rediculous music city crap in our last post-season appearence an eon ago.
And, adding injury to insult today, we've lost two starters for most if not all of the season. Oh, and we have a mid-twenties young man in emergency surgery that will most likely determine whether or not he'll be able to walk again. May KE come out of surgery with a good prognosis.
I want to focus on the positives. But I'm quite depressed after this total and complete emotional kick to the nuts.
Oh well, by Tuesday I'll be working up the anticipation for next Sunday where I'm sure the Bills will find new and twisted ways to screw with my emotional stability.
