Tough Being a Buffalo Bills Fan

We have suffered through fifteen years of not making the playoffs, the only NFL team not to make the playoffs at some time in those years. This year there was some hope, if only the Bills could beat the Oakland Raiders, a lowly 2-12 team with a rookie QB they would still be in the running for a spot. As usual the Bills flopped and lost the game and all chances of playing in the post-season.

MW came up with the Top 10 Good Things About the Bills Losing Yesterday (Sunday):

1.    We now can openly discuss the real truth that they are not a playoff team and stop filling our heads with false hope. 
2.     When the Bills get slaughtered by the Patriots next week it won’t be so bad.
3.  Sundays just got 4 more hours of free time.
4. Time to focus on how much the Yankees will disappoint us next spring.
5.   We can play the Bills’ favorite off season game, Name Our Next Quarterback.
6.  Post season awards. Is there a Most Valuable Offensive Defense award? The Bills are the only team I know that wanted to keep their defense on the field to score points.
7.   Lou and Mikes can now go back to discussing health care and injuries.
8.   We can get back to saving our money to buy the Bills a new stadium.
9. We can purchase E J Manual Christmas jerseys for $5 instead of the original $85.
10.  For the last game maybe they’ll do some trick plays, like the Statue of Liberty play or the old Three Stooges ball under the shirt play. 

I responded to MW with my own list.

Before the game I had a sick feeling they would lose. That is the type of game they always blow. It was sad to watch. Bringing back Spiller was a huge mistake, the offense didn’t know what to do with him and he just kept running directly into defenders instead of using blockers. Not that their O line is really good.

Top Ten Bill predictions:

1. Orton will be back starting at QB. 
2.  They will let EJ Manuel go to another team.
3. They will draft a QB who will be let go in 2 years.
4.   They will get a top notch offensive lineman from college, develop him over 3 years, and let him go.
5. 2015 will be the year they win 9 games and don’t make the playoffs.
6. The Pagulas (new Bills owners) will alternate Buffalo Sabres hockey players with Bills players. They all know how to lose.
7.  Spiller will be traded for a tight end who will get injured in game 4. Spiller will gain 1,200 yards and be all-pro and in the playoffs.
8.  The Bills will keep their incompetent offensive coordinator and remain a bottom 10 offense.
9.  Brady (Patriots) will beat the Bills 2x again next season.
10. All the home games will still be sell out crowds.
