I love the bills

[Stewie]

but i'm getting sick of bills fans. grow the hell up, what an exciting game.. yesterday did I want us to win? of course. Did we deserve to win? nope. This is a young, talented team. If they turn the corner, they will be real fun to watch.

Trent Edwards is the real deal.

:gobills:

[chernobylwraiths]

what a stupid post

Yeah, I want to see us lose in heartbreaking fashion every week. That is just so FUN.

[Forward_Lateral]

It's funny how before the game, most fans here were saying the Bills have no shot, they suck, their offense sucks, their defense sucks, etc, the Pats will win easily. Then, when Buffalo comes out and shows that they have a chance to be a good team, and nearly win, they still suck, because they should've won.

[yordad]

I do not understand how you do not understand.

[BAM]

That was a VERY encouraging display by our team overall! A couple bad plays ruined it but we played WELL! I am ecstatic about the remaining 15 games!! Especially the one I'll be attending this Sunday. GO BILLS!!!

[DaBillzAhDaShiznit]

If you didn't feel real nausea last night, and continue to feel it this morning, I don't think you have the right to imply you are the best Bills fan in the world.

That was gut wrenching loss of a game that was within reach.

We are upset because we care about this team. We hurt because we live and breath Bills football. That's what it's like to be a died in the wool fan.

If a guy can't be upset today, when can he?

[yordad]

How? I feel like they will lose the next 15 games by one point each. :(

It's called growing immune to it. Most of us have lived through Wide Right, The Music City Miracle, the Cowboy Monday Night debacle, among many other heart breaking losses. This one didn't surprise me one bit. I found myself saying, they'll find a way to lose, and they did. I'm not heart broken, in fact, I don't really care. I've grown immune to it. I don't know if that's a good thing, or not, but at least I'm not letting a loss like this ruin my entire week anymore.

It'll hurt real bad for today, maybe tomorrow. Then most of us will move on to next week! This HURTS though.

[Dr. Lecter]

I think people are missing Paul's point.

There are two emotions from last night - the heart crushing disappointment at finding yet another creative way to lose a primetime game. And the encouragement one can take from this team hanging (on the road too) with the team many are predicting to be celebrating in February.

It is a definite mixed bag. I thought the Bills would lose by 24. Not score 24.

I am pissed as hell they lost and am still trying to figure out how they created that way to lose. I am also shocked and encouraged that they were not destroyed in the game.

One could make a legitimate claim that this game, on the road against New England, will be their most difficult game all year. Yet they were more than competitive. There are no moral victories for sure, but the team might not be as bad as some of us thought.

[DraftBoy]

Lots to be happy for last night, lots to be excited for.

However claiming Trent Edwards is the real deal after that game is not one of those things.

Oh, me neither. But to say "hey, there were some good things that came out of the game too" doesn't help. To call out the fans who are passionate and know the team SHOULD have won the game is wrong. There are far too many games the Bills SHOULD have won and to tell people to stop being negative and stop *****ing is a way of accepting the losses as no big deal. In the grand scheme of life, of course it is no big deal. As a fan of a team that you want to win a championship, it is a HUGE deal. It won't get better with the current coaching staff because we will continue to lose these close games like this to good teams.

No, but he showed more poise and ability to run an offense than he has in awhile.

It was only one game, but he did a pretty good job of running the offense and was hurt by some key drops (TO and Evans)

I don't want to look at the positives right now, not that I don't see them. But we can't CONTINUOUSLY disregard the negatives. Fumbles happen, false starts and stupid rookie (or first year starters) penalties happen, allowing receivers off the line and allowed to roam freely should NOT continue to happen. Giving up two scores in the last few minutes of games to lose should not continue to happen.

I want them to win, and yes, they should've won last night. But, I see Paul's point too. They didn't look horrible, and the O-line, which was supposed to be their biggest weakness looked not to bad at all.

Well maybe not but that is EXACTLY what I wanted out of him. Poised leader with fire, and accuracy. The completely took TO and Evans out of the game with double teams I hope they can get really involved next week.

Guess what Pal, they still suck. They blew an 11 point lead like they did 2 years ago when they sucked against the Cowboys and they ended up being a mediocre 7-9 team then. Why you think we're automatically good because we hung with the Pats for 58 minutes is foolish. This team finds ways to trick you into believing and then RIPPING your heart out. Bills fans are stupid if they don't realize this.

[chernobylwraiths]

Paul's point would have been better received if it had NOT basically called all the people upset over last night's loss babies.

[THATHURMANATOR]

Well you are kind of being babies...

[chernobylwraiths]

Well you are kind of being babies...

Not everyone can love a gut wrenching loss like you can. Keep the rose colored glasses on, but remember if it looks like crap and smells like crap, it probably means you are getting crapped on.

[madness]

Ripping your heart out? Please.

With four minutes left I couldn't even get excited because I knew the Bills still had a long way to go before winning the game. The defense lost two starters and couldn't stop Brady's offensive juggernaut even before that final drive. I knew it was over even before they kicked off to McKelvin.

We are simply not a high caliber team yet and this team still has a way to go. Expecting anything more from last night is just foolish.

Take off rose colored glasses for expecting them to beat the Patriots and there are a lot of good things to look forward to this season.

[CoolBreeze]

Paul's point would have been better received if it had NOT basically called all the people upset over last night's loss babies.

The point is all you "experts", are in fact, only cool when at your computer. The reality is many of the so called experts are minimum wage bottom feeders that have never accomplished a thing. Most of which are waiting for another check from Obama. Their only football experience is playing Madden. Nothing more frustrating than a 35yr old juvenile delinquent, living in his mother's basement, complaining on this message board about the play of a professional athlete, or the rating of a player on a video game, when in fact there isn't one person on this messge board that could do what these athletes do. All I have read on this board is how bad is the blowout going to be? DJ sucks!, etc. etc. I have lived through countless bad seasons of the 70's, 80's late 90's 2 now. It's a game... A game at with no bearing on your life. A game in which those who are playing could give a rats a$$ about you. So don't be a baby. Go play Madden, Beat the Patriots 80-0, and go feel better about yourselves.

[Philagape]

They hung with the Pats because the Pats played uncharacteristically bad until their last 2 scores. The Bills had a victory drop into their laps ... and they fumbled it.

Thanks dad.

[Novacane]

I wish I had a dollar for every thread that has been started telling others how stupid they are for being upset, crybabies, morons, telling others to grow up etc. I could go for a nice lunch if I had a buck for each of these stupid threads.


To all you arrogant I am better than everyone else fans: We do not all react the same way to gut wrenching loses. We do not have to take it the same way you do. Being pissed is not being a baby, moron, child etc. People are different and respond differently to things. This does not make anyone less of a fan. We do not all have to be like YOU thank God. Get over yourselves :rolleyes:

All I can say is WOW. That is one stupid post. Anyone who is upset is a living with mom loser on welfare. Dumb. Really, really dumb.

[mercyrule]

It was only one game, but he did a pretty good job of running the offense and was hurt by some key drops (TO and Evans)It was encouraging. But I don't know if he's the real deal.

Hey I don't say people shouldn't be upset, but don't be upset if someone calls you a baby for it. Can't have it both ways.

By the way I was a HUUUUUGE baby last night. I threw temper tantrums, and nearly was in tears at one point.

[BAM]

We'lll all be OK and life will go on!

[ddaryl]

I love the Bills too, I litterally bleed Buffalo Blue, go ahead and cut me you'll see

I honestly broke down and with a few tears this morning in the back of my van pool.. I wasn't wailing like a baby but the pain of going though this crap again just caused the eyes to well up.


I might get down on the team, but I do because the pain hurts this bad.

I honestly cannot handle the complete inpetness of our HC and DC now. I was encouraged by AVP yesterday, but need ot see more.

There were some proud moments yesterday, but knowing tha tas long as Jauwrong is our HC we can expect yesterdays debacle to continue to be a characteristic of this team

[Novacane]

Not saying you thurm. Like you I am not even that upset today either. I expected a loss going in and I saw things that give me some hope for a respectable season last night so I'm feeling ok today. Still pissed they gave that game away but ok with how they played.

I just get sick of these arrogant asses that feel they need to start threads bashing other fans like they are some kind of super fan and we all need to be like them.

[justasportsfan]

but i'm getting sick of bills fans. grow the hell up, what an exciting game.. yesterday did I want us to win? of course. Did we deserve to win? nope. This is a young, talented team. If they turn the corner, they will be real fun to watch.

looks like someone is used to losing. Sorry if some of us don't want to accept mediocrity and are tired of ALMOST winning.

[mercyrule]

They hung with the Pats because the Pats played uncharacteristically bad until their last 2 scores. The Bills had a victory drop into their laps ... and they fumbled it.That is a good point. I don't know what their performance has to say about future games. But at least it gave them a chance to do some good things too.

[The last buffalo fan]

I might not be as good as you guys on football analysis, but yesterday was a team loss and defnly the players lost this game, not the coaches.

[madness]

But didn't a little hope creep in there?

A little but I managed to fight it off.

[Novacane]

A little but I managed to fight it off.


Then it's your fault and mine we lost. All game long I was sure we were gonna lose. Then when they had that impressive drive and went up by 11 I let that little bit of hope and excitement creep in. I jinxed us.

[madness]

Actually the moment I saw Brady start planting on that front leg, I knew it was over.

[DraftBoy]

No, but he showed more poise and ability to run an offense than he has in awhile.

It was only one game, but he did a pretty good job of running the offense and was hurt by some key drops (TO and Evans)

He's always had poise, thats been one of the most consistent things he's done ever since college. Im not impressed with his poise because it wasnt a huge issue to work out. The offense he ran was basic, again if thats the offense we are going to run fine, but its not an offense I like, and if it works Ill happily eat my words but I have concerns about running only 20 something plays out of three formations.

The offense looked fluid, and much better than in the preseason. I hope it continues, I hope this wasn't an abberation, but I dont think people should be drooling over this game. This was week 1, still 15 more to go and we still have absolutely no idea what this team will be. Last night was thrilling, awesome, incredible, ****ty, painful, and sadly perdictable. I think we all thought somewhere as soon as McKelvin left the endzone on that damn kick return something bad was going to happen.

[DraftBoy]

:hi5:

Well maybe not but that is EXACTLY what I wanted out of him. Poised leader with fire, and accuracy. The completely took TO and Evans out of the game with double teams I hope they can get really involved next week.

I expect a lot more to be honest. I dont want a game manager, I want a difference maker.
