The Depressing Tones of Eagles-Bills Post-game/Pre-game “Trash Talk”
Although it has rained pretty much every day on the East Coast since my last post on this site, it has somehow been unable to end the massive writing drought that Blog of Brotherly Love has seen. Well, I’ll pick up where I left off–with another great football-related dialogue. Find below an exchange, which speaks for itself, between one of my favorite Bills fans (who runs a brilliant site of his own) and myself this past Monday. Perfect lead-in to a few hour block during which we’ll see whose smidgeon of optimism can be shattered:
|
me: I was at both the Eagles game and Phillies game yesterday, worst day of my life
Bills fan: Haha oh shit what a terrible day
me: horrifying
rough 14 hours at the sports complex
at least the tailgate was good
Bills fan: Man, so glad upstate NY doesn’t have any other teams for me to give a shit about
Couldn’t take a double hit like that
me: yeah
haha
it was a huge risk going in
mood on the subway home could not have been more depressing
i turned to my friend and said “Think about how all of this would be so much better if we just didn’t care about sports”
Bills fan: Ugh
I can’t even imagine the person I would be
me: yea
haha
Bills fan: I’d have so much more optimism
me: me too
think about all the philly team disappointments that have shaped my identity
so foolish but unavoidable
well it’s bills-birds next week right?
good for you, we are such shit
Bills fan: I don’t know, looked like last year’s Bills this week
me: I would say it’s dangerous for you because it is a bounce back must win game for us
but that was yesterday for us too!
and we were home
and still looked awful
so i’m convinced we are bad
Bills fan: What’s their problem though?
me: coaching
is the biggest problem
undoubtedly
such a talented team
used so improperly
Bills fan: What’s that fat fuck doing wrong?
me: both with regards to technical Xs and Os and also motivation
everything
starting with making his offensive line coach from last year our D coordinator this year
he is retarded
Bills fan: Haha that makes no sense
me: the fat fuck is also atrocious in the draft
Bills fan: Yeah I just saw your FB post
me: yeah
also atrocious
they are not using Asomgha properly
Bills fan: I don’t know who any of those people are
me: the playcalling continues to be absurdly illogical
Bills fan: Saw that, he’s in the wrong kind of coverage scheme
me: McCoy came into yesterday as the leading rusher in NFC, he has been dynamite
he wasn’t part of the gameplan at all
he rushed the ball 8 or 9 times I think
Bills fan: That’s never good
me: we had a 20 point lead in the second half, yet Reid is passing on every play in the 4th
not even making the Niners work against the clock!
Bills fan: You’re making me feel so much better about this weekend
me: not only did they come all the way back, but it wasn’t even up against the wire
they did it with time to spare b/c Reid literally doesn’t even consider the time in the game as an important unit of measurement that relates to a football game
Bills fan: Haha
me: we cannot score a TD in the red zone
and he says every week we have to get better
but he has no idea what to do
he calls an option play from the 1 yard line
Ronnie Brown actually tries to execute the play which never has any business of even being practiced, the result, another red zone turnover
of which we have sooo many in just 4 weeks
and then Reid continues to have the nerve to be an arrogant prick to the media
the ratio of arrogance to amount of success he’s had is a broken equation
i’ll stop
Come to Philly next week and watch the game with me here….
Bills fan: Haha amazing rant
and no way
I can’t be around non-Bills fans during Bills games
me: great comment
Bills fan: Seriously We went to a non-Bills exclusive bar for the first time in awhile yesterday
There wasn’t a single Bengals fan there
But I was enraged and ready to fight the fans of other winning teams if they so much as looked at me
me: hahaha
so maybe it’s not a good idea
but come to philly anyway sometime soon
casino is walking distance now
Bills fan: I’d def like to come before the cold really sets in
I’ll talk to the guys about it
me: good
i’m gonna run
catch ya later
Bills fan: See ya
