Um, so? How is being consistently bad and being able to expect losing worse than being teased incessantly with greatness only to have it roughly torn apart before your very eyes? Stop feeling sorry for yourself, you have no idea what pain is.
I think I have to agree with DM here, sure if your team blows since its inception, the LA Clippers, the Detroit Lions, the Pittsburgh Pirates, etc, you begin to just shrug it off and realize your team is never going anywhere so you expect your team to lose. But when you have a team that loses 4 straight Super Bowls and continually shows flashes of excellence just to find a way to beat themselves you have the perfect recipe for ultimate disappointment. No team that has always stunk has ever felt the pain of "Wide Right" and the "Music City Miracle."
"No Goal"
I am actually a big Buffalo Bills fan; they're my AFC Saints. As DM knows, I am also a big JP Losman fan even though most people hate him and he gets criticized so much. I found this and am going to post it verbatim, as it words my opinion on the Bills perfectly...

That's why the Jets are doing awesome this year...sick O-line =)
Everyone laughed at me when I said they were winning the division...but look at 'em now!
D'Brickshaw Ferguson, Nick Mangold and Alan Feneca give them a Center to Left side front that might be unmatched in the entire league. That's why an old, washed up RB like Thomas Jones and a kid with few RB skills who should be playing FB (Leon Washington) can have such good looking stats, lol.
3 cheers for the big guys!

I'd be more impressed if it was the Bengals with Carson Palmer and Ocho Cinco. >.>
But I doubt Palmer will play(Just checked he's not playing)
And Johnson got deactivated from the game for breaking some rule.
Or I'd be more impressed if their offense wasn't 30+ in every category that matters. haha
poor Bengals. =( I'll always love them, though.

Well, two weeks later after throwing 31/41 for 308 against the Chargers and 17/30 for 243 against the Bengals for NO INTERCEPTIONS would you still say sit Ben and play Byron Sandwich?
Slow Willie < Mewelde BEAST
And here I thought it had more to do with the previous 16-0 Patriots losing their future HoF quarterback to injury in the first game of the season.

It was so good to see the Jets kick so much fucking ass.
And I'm glad I got to see Brett fucking rape. ^_^
On a side note, the Colts suck ass.
Except for Baltimore, all their wins have been 6 or less points. only one was 6. the rest was 4 or less.
It always pisses me off every season they win games by last second field goals.

It's a natural part of having Vinatieri.
I feel like Denver wins more by last second field goals than the Clots do. But LOL @ Denver for getting hammered by the Raiders :-D
I knew the Titans would fall at some point, it was just a question of which team came up with the right formula first. They were by no means invincible, several teams they played had a chance to beat them, they just didn't focus on the right areas. The Jets did, and showed just how beatable the Titans really are.
On another note, the NFL Analysts need to quit kissing the Giants' asses. This whole business of "nobody can stop the Giants running game" and "best team in the NFL" is overstating it a bit. Yes, the Giants are good I won't argue with that. Yes they are among the top teams right now. But to say without a doubt they are the best is dodgy at best. They got raped by Cleveland of all teams, and they got completely frustrated by the Steelers defense. The only reason they came away from that game with a win was the Steelers killing themselves with stupid INTs and a critical injury that came at the worst possible time to the worst possible person. The Giants, like the Titans, will have their time to fall. And I have a feeling it'll be in the playoffs to the Cardinals :).

If you looked JUST at the yardage differential, you'd think the Redskins were winning by 3 touchdowns every win.
The problem is that while our offensive line is DOMINANT in terms of run blocking, they're mediocre at best in pass protection, especially Jansen and Samuels (who is playing hurt and needs surgery)
We absolutely have to beat the Eagles (shouldn't be too hard) and Giants (gulp though if any team can do it right now we'd be one of those teams - our defense is top 5, and probably the best or second best run-stopping team in the NFL).
(we're basically one dominant DE away from being an incredible defense)
