that horrible familiar feeling is back...

Just got home from watching the Bills lose. Again. As a Bills fan you kinda forget what it feels like every year, but then it happens again and it sucks. So frustrating.

You go into a game not expecting anything at all except a blowout, and think "well at least I'll drink a few beers have a slice of pizza and have some fun." Then the Bills decide to start playing like a team who knows how to score. Even the defense makes big plays. Then things start getting crazy. The Bills shout song rings in your ears, and you can't help but dance, throw high fives all around, and text your nay sayers with taunting words.

Then the clock ticks down. Just like always. And usually we're winning by less than a TD when we let the opposing team drive down and beat us at the end. But tonight, we let the Pats do even better than that.

We were winning by two possessions. And we let them come back and beat us. BY ONE POINT. THANKS TO A FUMBLE. On a kickoff where we just NEEDED TO TAKE A KNEE.

And even though my heart is being torn up inside of me, there is something important that everyone should remember:

The Bills were supposed to get blown out tonight. They should have lost by at least 20 points. And yet the Patriots, with MIGHTY Tom Brady, risen from the injury dead, had to claw their way back to beat us by just one little point. That's pretty embarrassing.

And as the ESPN announcers flip-flopped back and forth, first talking about how atrocious the Bills were, then talking about how much they liked the Bills once they started winning (fair weather fans indeed), I knew that no matter what the outcome... even if it ended as badly as it did tonight...even if i wish those arrogant Pats fans could have all gone home with the knowledge that they just lost to the Buffalo Billls... that this was an important game.

Because we only lost by one to the Pats. And we lost on a dumb, dumb play.

Imagine what happens next.

I think 3-13 haiku prediction guy should be feeling a little worried right now.

GO BILLS.
