This time of the year is a bummer for Buffalo Bills fans. It's a bummer not just because the 5-9 Bills have been eliminated from the playoffs for a ridiculous thirteenth straight season, but also because when that inevitably happens each year, it fractures the focus of the fan base.
See, when it's early in the season and hope is not yet dead, fans are thinking about one thing, and one thing only: winning. When the significance of a win is removed from the equation - as it is today, with the Bills taking on the Miami Dolphins in a meaningless game - then fans bring an entirely different agenda to the table.
Whether you're hoping for an implosion so that a coaching change or a higher draft pick occurs - or whether you're hoping for a win simply to change things up, or to convince yourself that things are headed in the right direction - this is the place to talk about today's game. Regardless of your agenda, the battle cry will always hold true: let's go Buffalo!
