Around SBN: Win or Lose, Boston Celtics' New Big 3 Era A Success

I need some advice from my fellow Bills fans...




Hello, fellow rumblers. I come on this site once in a while to see how my fellow fans are feeling about the team. I very rarely post, but in this situation it felt all to necessary. I am perplexed and do not know what to do about something, so i am turning to the only people in the world who make sense to me: Bills fans. I have had some consistencies with my fan hood so far this season. Who I watch the game with (my father), how hard I have rooted (After the Bengals game, I ended up with a bad flesh wound, a broken chair, a hole in the wall, and a surprised grandfather whom I probably wont see any time soon), and most importantly; What I've been wearing.

Coming into week one, I wasn't sure how the Bills would do, and to be honest, I didn't have many expectations. I was just so happy that the game was back. Me and my dad decided to go to a sports bar for the KC game. I decided to go old school, and rock the Peerless Price navy blue jersey, since all my other players jerseys I had owned had left the team, or changed numbers. (Darn you, spiller!)With this, I wore bright blue athletic shorts, black gold toe socks, and some Nike Sneakers.

Needless to say, I was blown away with our week 1 success, and I couldn't have been happier. I was sure that it had all to do with the gear, so i figured I'd wear it every Sunday, as long as it helped my Bills win. For week 2, I once again busted out the Price jersey, same shorts, socks, and sneakers, and got excited for the action. At halftime, being down 21-3, I contemplated changing. My father (wisely) talked me out of it, and we came back and won in thrilling fashion. Again, in week 3 i had my doubts and I even changed my socks at halftime, but of course, they pulled it out and I was flying high.

Before the game Sunday, I went through the usual Sunday routine, and taking the Price jersey out of the dryer provided a rare, priceless moment for me (pun intended). I felt like this jersey would be the difference between wins and losses this season. I put it on, and sat in my regular game seat. The whole game, I rooted for my team, and until the clock hit zero, i believed we were going to win that game. Needless to say, I was crushed afterwards, as you can see from the first paragraph, and I started to doubt the gear.

I now ask you, my favorite group of people, to tell me what to do for the game next week, and for weeks to come. The jersey situation I have is pretty Ridiculous. I own: Poz (home, away) Evans, Spiller (21#), Mcgahee, Henry, Flutie, Moulds, Bledsoe, Losman, Takeo, and the infamous Price jersey. I also have various T-shirts, and hoodies, but considering the current situation I'm in, I just don't know how to approach coming weeks. What do you guys think?

p.s.- Great start to the season, and with some luck I think the playoffs are definitley in our future...Thanks for reading and please let me know your opinions!

Just another great fan opinion shared on the pages of BuffaloRumblings.com.

Time to up your game

And put on the Moulds jersey.

The player I would like least at #9 would be my sister’s cat, Captain Creamsicle. She does have a great work ethic and agility, but I’m really concerned that at 9 lbs., she’s too small to play safety in the NFL. She also bites way too often on play action and is easily distracted by someone waving string in the crowd. Lastly, her wonderlic score was pretty awful, answering "meow meow meow" for most of the questions- Dr. Brackish Okun

I did the same thing

Wore my throwback Lynch jersey for the first four weeks – after the Cincy loss I’m going to switch to my new David Nelson jersey for some new luck.
I’d go with Moulds, Spikes, or Flutie for this one.

Optimistic??? Of course I am!! I'm a Bills fan, and as of right now, we are undefeated on the regular season!!!

If you object to buying a new one...

I would go with either Moulds or Flutie. With my personal bias being for Flutie for any game not the Patriots.

Glad I’m not the only one. I bought a new Stevie Johnson jersey before game 1. I forgot to wash it after the KC win. Needless to say after winning in week 2 it has yet to be washed. I think we shall wash before the game this week and hope for another 3-1 record over the next four games.

ps, Moulds Jersey and white socks.

My Theory

I can’t help but believe that my actions during a Bills game directly effect what happens with the Bills on the television. However, I would be naive if I thought that I was so important that my actions, alone, were the only factor. Instead, I realize that there are hundreds of thousands of Buffalo Bills fans (there really are), and their collective actions help push the Bills toward a win or loss from a Karma standpoint.

For example, my Sunday routine is to go the the gym and torture myself with 3 hours of cardio as I watch the Bills game on the tv screens attached to the machines. I am CONVINCED that the harder I push myself through the pain, the harder the Bills will push to win. My theory was proven right after the Oakland and New England games. My legs were so tired that I couldn’t walk when they were over, but my Bills pulled out the wins because of my struggle…

Except that I did the exact same thing during the Bengals game, yet we lost. This put my in a tough position. Did I do something different? Something wrong? No. I thought I might have to admit that the players on the field wearing those gorgeous Buffalo Bills uniforms along with their coaching staff on the sidelines were completely in control of their own destinies without my help whatsoever. This sucked. But then the answer came, and I once again mattered. My actions do effect the game, but not my actions alone. During the first three weeks, a large enough percentage of Bills fans did enough things right, and kept doing them right for the Bills to win. This past Sunday, too many OTHER Bills fans must have switched too many things up. So, even though I continued my grueling routine of self-inflicted cardio punishment, and even though kevoy14 wore his same Price jersey, too many other Bills fans changed their routines. Thanks for ruining it for us all.

So, this is a call to all Bills fans to remember what you did during the first week of the season, and to REPLICATE IT EXACTLY each and every Sunday until February.

kevoy14, don’t you dare switch your Price jersey this week. You had it right.

Hahaha interesting perspective. I gotta say I kinda like it.

I know personally I have worn the same jersey all four weeks and have insisted that my wife and best friend whom I watch the games with do the same. They funny thing about that is, my wife doesn’t have her own jersey, but she felt left out in week one so I told her to put on the Lynch children’s jersey I bought for my Pitbull. Oddly enough it fit (my wife is very petite). So I told her until they lose, that’s her jersey. When the Bills lost last week, she said the silver lining was that she could actually get a woman’s jersey that fits better. But if what you say is true, and it was someone else slacking off that caused the loss, then she has to keep wearing my dog’s jersey. She’ll be thrilled to find this out.

On another note, the first 3 weeks I got pretty bombed during the games, but last week I decided to spare my liver and ease off the drinking (a little). I guess I know what I need to do this week :)

….Next season maybe I should get a ritual that’s actually heathly for me like you. Props to you.

You can't blame me then....

I wore my Freddy jersey that hadn’t been washed since preseason and made excessive amounts of cheese sauce to slather on gameday food like all the other weeks. In a few weeks you can blame me when I get me back ordered jersey. Went with the new home uni and customized name/number. Kevoy14…if you get a new jersey I suggest this route, especially for consistency on game day. The 12th man can’t be cut or traded so no longer will you have to worry about indecision at the closet.

Wear the Moulds jersey, he was a great Buffalo Bill.

by PineWoodsBillsFan on Oct 6, 2011 10:14 AM EDT reply actions  

I knew I wasn't the only dork (no offense) who did this stuff!

Sunday Morning – 6am MST
Put on my too large grey Bills shirt to wear around the house, drink coffee from my Bills mug (only used on Sundays of course) and read game day Rumblings while I wake up.

Around 8 or so, take my kid on a walk, sporting my Bills shirt, around the neighborhood past the facist a few doors down with the Jets flag.

Come home, shower, put on my navy blue Bills shirt with the red standing Buffalo. Get my kid ready for the game by putting him in his Lynch #23 onsie-jersey.

Sit down at 10:30 and watch CBS pre game until kickoff

This all worked just fine until week four.

What changed? Two things that I know of – one, it was a little cold out last Sunday morning and I wore a green long sleeve t-shirt under my Bills shirt (green, really?) Two, I usually spend the game behind my couch, pacing back and forth but I was way too calm for this game and spent most of it sitting in “my spot” on the couch… Oh, yes, hindsight is 20/20…

I pledge to do just as I did week 1 so we can beat the Beagles on Sunday!

Green?!

Yes, you may wear a long sleeve t under the Bills shirt, but it MUST be red, white, or blue. Only those colors will appease the Football Spirit.

Secondly, you MUST NOT get comfortable in any Bills game with any lead. The Football Spirit demands fear, and if you do not comply, he will crush your spirit with a demoralizing Bills loss. Pace away.

Lessons learned.

Hey

Someone deleted the behavior modification post late last night/early morning by someone, not me, mentioning not destroying furniture, and other recommendations.

I read it, and it seemed valid points were made without delete-worthy content.

When stuff gets deleted I wish it would be added to a list of examples of things not to place in a post. Just so all of us know what not to write. Obviously calling someone a “so-&-so” is taboo, but more-so the gray area items need further clarification.

Hope my wish comes true.

When the job is finished no one remembers how long it took, just how well it was performed.

I think it all comes down to personal prefrence, I only wear my jersey on game day ( sporting a new fityz this year ) and it only gets washed if the game ends as a big L for the bills.
Here’s hoping for a nice stinky jersey come playoff time :)~

Butterfly Effect

Everything I do and wear affects the game…

I wonder if typing this response swayed the outcome of the Sunday Bills game?

…Of course it did

HAHA wow...

I love Bills fans. soo funny. I love the responses, and I think I’m in line for a new jersey…however, you’ll notice that literally EVERY player whose jersey I’ve purchased, has left the team, except for spiller. So, what do I do from here?!? I don’t wanna jinx whoevers jersey I buy! and i must say…after the Bengals tied it up, i made a major goof..I said..and I quote…“We have the Amish rifle…I’m not even worried”.. WOW! my dad slapped me and said “Son, your a Bills fan…you should always be worried!” lol.

Hahahaha! Your dad is a smart man.

It is kind of nice to have that kind of confidence in a Bills QB again though (even if it is a bit optimistic). I haven’t been confident in a Bills QB since Flutie Flakes was playing.

I don’t believe in superstitions or throwing a fit in viewing sports these days (although I did in my younger and more vulnerable years)…My advice is take these games as a three hour diversion and following the team closely as a hobby like someone who studies the Civil War for fun.

I'm the last person in the world to be superstitious

but now y’all have me wondering!!!!?!! The first 3 games, I fired up the BBQ at half time and through on some chickens, sausage, and burgers, but for the Cinci game, I didn’t fire it up until the end of the game, and only made some crappy steak…. Coincidence??

As for the jersey question… I’m with skarekrow13… Get a personalized… the 12th man will always be a member of the team!!!

Optimistic??? Of course I am!! I'm a Bills fan, and as of right now, we are undefeated on the regular season!!!

and it has to be chickens, sausage, and burgers, no crappy steaks.

You, know I really want to join in and do everything just as I did in week one, but that will be hard.

I don’t want to be hurrying around the house trying to get ready for a business trip to New York (of which I don’t have one this week) and leave for the airport at half time.

I would much rather use my tickets and go to Orchard Park for the game.

Help me Rumblers: am I required to waste my tickets in order to avoid the karmpocalypse?
