Emotionally spent

[northernbillfan]

As a fan I am getting drained emotionally. I am tired of getting up hope drive after drive only to watch the drives end in a pick or T/O of sorts. Sunday's game was a perfect example of getting one's hope up only to have it dashed with a bad play. Examples: Drew's scrammble, 3rd and 15 and they run, two drives ending in a pick, I could go on, but I'm tired.

I'm tired. I still cheer for the Bills and will always cheer for them, but am wondering when I/we as fans can get some sort of return on my emotional investment. All it will take is a few good games, a winning record, perhaps a playoff appearance, something, anything. Give us something to hold on to. A sign of hope, a silver lining on that dark cloud that hangs over my head.

I feel the same way.

It makes a hangover much worse.

I tried to drwon my sorrow in beer last night, but it didn't work.

Now I'm hungover AND sad.

That's why I put myself in "Bills rehab" several weeks ago. Why let a team of 53 complete strangers ruin your life?

I still pull hard for them, but I have lowered my expectations to the point that these galling defeats bother me much less. The Bills, as currently constituted, are not worthy of anyone's emotional sacrifice.

I feel the same way.

Loss to Jacksonville = Shocked
Loss to Oakland = Angered
Loss to Pats = Frustrated
Loss to Jets = Defeated
Loss to Baltimore = Indifferent

I have watched almost every game which wasnt blacked out since '79 and I think Ive been almost numb to losing. Its like finding out one of your kids is gay. You still love him but it kills you a little (no grandkids = no super bowl).

[Mr. Miyagi]

Great analogy. The Bills and the Gays both suck.

[Mr. Cynical]

The Bills, as currently constituted, are not worthy of anyone's emotional sacrifice.

Good point. As long as TD is still here and continues to f**k up the team, then emotionally detaching from them is not such a bad idea.

Sunday was quite the rollercoaster. They had some nice plays to move the ball in the second half (HIGH), only to throw interceptions in the end zone (LOW). Such is life. It was a day right after Jim Valvano (Jimmy V). I thought, I laughed and I cried, just like Jimmey V. What a day!!

That's what I'm getting at, those highs are great, but the lows are deflating. They are getting to be more frequent than I would like.
