Why is the season "over"?

[buffalobillsfan95]

We lost one of our 16 games. You don't have to have the best record to win a Super Bowl!
Ask the patriots and greenbay. We killed Kansas city last year and they ended up almost turning it around.

If we beat Kansas city then everyone will be back on the bandwagon. So why ***** about just 1 game

I also noticed that on defense that it wasn't so much playing bad, but the front 4 not getting pressure which made our kinda cover 2 defense streadable . It also didn't help that Sanchez played great.

There are a few games a year that you just get flat out beat but how you react to those beatings is how we will do and the bills seem pretty calm and confident

Re: Why is the season "over"?

It's not over.

Its just that we were (again) dominated by a division opponent, and have not showed any improvement over last year, except on paper.

Now, two star players are injured, so....

Re: Why is the season "over"?

Our QB sucked. He sucked last year too. But we held out hope that it was due to an unreported rib injury.

It turns out he just sucks. Even if we somehow managed to win that game with Fitz's stat line, we'd be saying a lot of the same things.

You can't win when your QB gives away more points than he scores.

We've now got a lot of evidence to support the fact that the beginning of last season was a fluke.

Win or not, it isn't going to change that our QB sucks. Or the fact that the backup isn't very good. And doesn't know our offense.

I've resigned myself to the fact the only positive feeling I experience is the pride felt for sticking with my team. Like a Cleveland Indians fan.

1. The Bills don't have a snowball's chance in hell of "winning the Super Bowl".
2. This is a fan discussion forum, not a circle jerk.
3. *****ing about another beat down to a divisional rival does not equate to jumping off the bandwagon. 2-11 under Gailey. Yay team.

Re: Why is the season "over"?

Because most of these people have nothing else in life. Their whole life revolves around this team, and if they don't have anything to brag about on Monday' morning, they got nothing. Like they have anything to do the success or failure of the team. But, just read on, they know more, and they could play better as well.

That's not an accurate description. I spend my days indoors. Pecking at a keyboard. Poking numbers into a telephone. Staring at screens. My ancestors chased animals around the savannah and threw spears at rival tribesmen. In my heart I'm still that warrior, I just don't get to practice during my daily life.

So I hire some surrogate warriors. An much like my ancestors would have felt dejected when their tribe's warriors lost a battle to a rival, I feel dejected when my surrogate warriors lose a battle.

That's really the entire point of sports. If we didn't suffer our surrogate's pain we couldn't revel in our surrogate's victory.

That will move us into a tie for 15th all-time longest playoff drought! So, we got that going for us.

Congrats. You just won the stupid post of the day award!

Re: Why is the season "over"?

There are 15 other teams that each have one loss also, and it's not over for any of them, but all their fans feel the same way. There's always way more overreaction to week 1, good and bad, than any other week of the season. Everyone has been waiting so long to see their team get a fresh start again, so when they come out and lose week 1 it's a huge kick to the nuts.

In the last 15 years or so our best seasons have started out on losing streaks and our most disappointing seasons have started out with winning streaks.

Called it (again). Wish I could say it was a tough prediction, but even Stevie Wonder saw this coming.

Re: Why is the season "over"?

The season isn't over by any stretch. Certainly they can turn things around.

It is just hard to have hope when they are 1-9 over the last 10 games, their QB hasn't played well since they handed him millions of dollars and the playoffs are a distant memory.

The D wasn't getting any pressure because our idiot DC won't blitz or stunt. That won't change.

The reason the season is over: can you honestly look at how this team played and believe they can win more than a couple of games? We sucked in all aspects of the game. Teams recover from an opening game loss. Teams that are THIS bad don't recover. There are systemic problems with the scouting and coaching and talent problems with the roster. Still.
