    Why?

    I'd like to know why everyone is so depressed around here.

    We knew the Bills would be 1-4 at this point with the schedule they faced.

    Is it the way they got to 1-4 that's depressing everyone? They didn't deserve to win the Broncos game, Pitt was another no show, they were destroyed by the mighty machine known as the Patriots and they failed to score enough offensive points on Monday night to hold off the powerful Cowgirls.

    The only game they won was an easy day against the pathetic Jests.

    We knew this as the season started. It is going to be a tough year. At least the games (save for the Patsies and Steelers) have been entertaining. We even see a glimmer of hope of what's to come in the future.

    It's going to be a long season, let's not get too down on the team and each other and enjoy this year for what it's worth.

    They are ranked #31 in O AND D.

    They are an NFL team, not a practice squad. The excuse that they have a "tough schedule" is a losers mentality.

    Re: Why?

    Monday night was the most depressing game I have ever been too.

    You don't lose games when you win the TO battle 6-1 and have a KO return for a touchdown and are leading by 8 with 25 seconds left in the game.

    It was a punch in the stomach or kick to the nuts like I have never felt before.

    I know you like to look ahead and we all appreciate it but we are 1-4.

    Re: Why?

    We led 2 games for 59 minutes and 59 seconds, and lost them both. If that's not depressing, my name is Sigmund Freud.
    Should have known, way back in 1960 when we drafted Richie Lucas Number 1, that this would be a long, hard ride. But who could have known it would be THIS bad?

    We lead by 8 and they scored 9, did they put something in the water up there or something?

    because they can beat the ravens at home, then we go to the jets,dolphins, and play the bengals seasons not over. Winning against dallas would have been huge.

    My bad. And no I wasn't looking ahead to the Baltimore game. I think they can win that one now, especially the way the Ravens have been playing.

    More so due to the fact that I will be at that game and as a fan I am 0-2 for games I've attended at the Ralph. Loss to teh patsies in 87 and a loss to the Colts in '01.

    Re: Why?

    I'm sick and tired of seeing "glimmers of hope" and "what could be". I wanna see actual results and wins. I'm not one to get high off of a "moral victory", I wanna see an ACTUAL victory. Enough of this trying to pick diamonds out of a pile of manure. As a Bills fan I'm not really happy right now.

    I am totally with you there, it's the only way to stay sane if your a Bills fan. The irony in it all is we used to get drunk and tailgate for fun. Now we need to stay drunk just to even bare to realize that hope is fading yet again for us.

    Sad times man, sad times.

    Re: Why?

    i'm not depressed !
    My expectations are realistic, and i am able to detach myself emotionally if we lose.
    i really enjoyed Monday night's game. Yes, we lost in the waning seconds, but the entire game was exciting, and i saw the Bills make some very good plays.

    I know what you mean. With all of these gut-wrenching losses, they've had to put a second shift on at the Ketel 1 distillery, which is good for the Dutch economy, but bad for my liver.

    Agreed. I still feel sad about this game.

    We dominated Dallas on D and ST but still found a way to lose. We lost two games that we lead for 59 minutes and 58 seconds. The O, which was supposed to be good, is horrendous. Our coaches are morons and that's something that can't be fixed without upsetting team chemistry, even if it's done in the off season.

    Seriously- we were seconds away for the biggest Bills victory in maybe 10 years and we blew it. This team ALWAYS loses big games- they were finally about to win one, on national TV no less, and blew it at the last second.

    That game was a microcosm for the last decade. For everything that goes right, 10 things go wrong. Man, that comeback game was great, but it seemed to have used up two decades of luck in one afternoon.

    Re: Why?

    Like I said in another thread, the worst losses are the wins that get away, and this was the worst of the worst. Pregame expectations don't factor for me.

    I know it's sad, but we have something to look forward to. The team needs to make the right adjustments . The D was not expected to preform as well as it has especially in light of the injuries.

    I still BILL-IEVE!
