Optimism...

[topher180]

...is not the same as the denial some of you are in. At the end of the day, you are a consumer as much as you are a fan. The Bills will never make the playoffs as long as Ralph Wilson owns this team. Come to grips with it, and detacth youself emotionally. It'd doesn't make you less of a fan, it just makes you a little brighter than those who do not.

Again, would you keep buying the same take out if it tasted like ****? Would you buy the same make and model car if the last one you had broke down every month?

No one is impressed by you and your lofty statements about how big a fan you are, and this "don't let the door hit ya" attitude. Get a life, take it for what it is, and realize it's just a game.

you're right. it's like a battered housewife. can't blame her for not sticking to her marriage vows.

Re: Optimism...

There is a world of difference between take out or a car & a football team that you grew up loving. To say don't get emotionally attached is like telling your friend that has a cheating girlfriend to not be emotionally attached. That said, anyone that expected this year to play out any different is deluding themself.

What happened to just changing from Jauron to a new HC was gonna win us 3-4 more games a year?

That was a big theme this offseason and into/through preseason.

We will find out soon what is going on. The Bills played two tough teams. There were some good signs, the defense played pretty well considering.

If Chan keeps Trent at QB it can only be because they have decided to try for the best draft pick next year. In that case I still think the Bills will win 2 or 3 games. If he finally sits Trent they should win about 6 games IMO.

If you think giving up 34 points is playing well your standards are very low.

As sad as it is, I will feel like starting someone at QB who gets us 6 wins is sabotaging the team.

If your rebuilding and your at the bottom, accept a horrible season and use the draft.

Plenty of room on the Jets bandwagon. Go get on.

I only hope that when we see the light after gaining a franchise QB we will spend a little money and round out the team. Not as much as the Jets but significantly more than we usually do.

I only hope that the team stays in Buffalo. If that happens, I think the other things will work themselves out eventually.

As with being splashy with free agents and such, we did that under Donahoe and that didn't get us anywhere. He seemed to be good at getting good coordinators in here, unfortunately they were our head coaches.

The game was played in Green Bay. A defense can only do so much, I did not expect them to put a goose egg on the Pack, but yeah my standards are low for the year.

The 1st quarter the defense held them to 6 points when they could easily have given up 14, that is what I am talking about. Signs of good things to come.
