"For years I’ve told disbelieving friends that I travel to see the Bills as much as I do because I’m a loyal fan. I tell them the Bills are working on getting better. Driving home after the Bears game I had a lot of time to think about why I travel to see the Bills. There’s no good explanation other than it’s a bad habit.
My Bills caps and my sweatshirts too, and my zubas and my Bills Santa/elf cap are still in my trunk, but to be honest, I don’t know why."
GO BILLS!!!
44 years a season ticket holder, true red white, and blue, travel 5 hours, missed 3 home games in that time and I am right there with you. Coming home Sunday night I told my wife I didn't know if I could do this anymore especially with 3 meaningless games in December. Like you I still haven;t unloaded the truck, just am beat down.
They're killin me Shaw, They're killin me!
See you all after thanksgiving
And finally, In the 2018 NFL where it is illegal to play defense how can this offense be so bad.

Twice this year I have a blacked out game on he Ticket even though it was not on my local feed. i called and was told it was controlled by the NFL and there was nothing they could do.i told them that I pay for all the games not on my local and i wanted to talk to a supervisor, Nothing.
Anybody else have this particular problem.

No argument there. When I was in grade school I used to get my report card with a grade and a number.
I was usually grade C-3 3 said," does whats required nothing more"
In a nutshell that is the Bills and because of my grade school, formative years I guess that is why I keep coming back.
Thanks for your diagnosis. I will sleep better now.

Why oh why do I keep coming back for more. 44 years a season ticket holder with more misery than happy times but Im still here. I can't believe I am about to type this but Sundays game may be the worst I have felt since wide right. There are plenty of games to choose from but for some reason Sunday was areal kick in the N**ts. There I said it. It was brutal before and after Allens injury.
The before injury, I get that Josh is a rookie but how can a guy who has been a football since he was 8 years old not be able to throw an on target pass just 5 to 7 yards down field. How can a guy who got to this point in his career be so off target. A simple crossing pattern that high school QB's make and sure as hell an NFL QB makes seems to be a real challenge for Bills QB. How can a deep throw that if in the area may get a PI call be so far out of bounds or so overthrown it no chance of being anything but a throwaway.
I watch so many other teams, good and bad, make simple plays and in the 2018 NFL where defense is almost illegal. My freakin team can"t complete a pass. Records are being broken in pass yards, point scored and my team, your team, our team is just awful. Man its hard to watch. Man I can"t wait for the 3 December games, sitting there with a few people that are left trusting the process.
After the injury, well you know, the same old thing that we all knew was going to happen. I say it all the time whether in the stands or on the couch, how the hell can a bunch of half drunk fans see what is going on with this team but the people paid to know see nothin.
Thanks for letting me vent AGAIN. Go Bills!

It's hard isn't it? Especially when year after year other teams seem to find their way, hiring the right coaches, drafting the right players, signing the right free agents, etc.
Yet the Bills never are that team...somehow their turn never comes. Jared Goff looked like a possible mistake, then the Rams hire Sean McVay & suddenly the Rams are the best team in the NFC West. Their offense goes through the roof, and LA of all places lucks into having a great team to root for INSTANTLY.
The Chiefs have been a team that consistently makes the playoffs every year but cant get over the hump. The Bills have been a failure for nearly 2 decades. You'd think the team that's never going anywhere should be stockpiling great talent via the draft right? Nope, instead the already solid playoff team hits the home-run MVP-caliber QB while the dud team grabs the project guy.
The Bills have the weakest WR corps in the NFL, yet when WR talent becomes available we don't go after it because of the risk involved (even though our draft pick was labeled the riskiest of the "big 4"). And who does take the risk? The already great Patriots. Who knows if someone like Gordon (or even Dez) would payoff, but what do you really have to lose anyway?
You lose your 3 best linemen in the offseason and fail to invest in viable replacements...all while you're planning on drafting a rookie at QB who needs all the protection help he can get. You simultaneously ignore signing a true veteran at the position to help mentor & guide the rookie QB, unlike all the other teams who went a similar route. Browns? Mayfield with Tyrod. Jets? Darnold with Bridgewater & McCown. Cardinals? Rosen with Bradford. Bills? Allen with Peterman & McCarron????? Wtf.It's crazy to think when we did have Watkins, Woods, Goodwin & Hogan all together with Clay & McCoy we still had a horrible passing offense. There's always something holding us back, and it seems poor decision making is at the top of the list.
Thanks man. You layed down what i was trying to say. Those that call me a crybaby have no idea the amount of time, money and energy I have devoted to this team. I am not really complaining, hell I buy my tix, make the 5 hr ride, (for the last 44 yrs), brainwashed my wife and kids, go to away games, buy the merch and all I want is to have a team that looks like other NFL teams.
You see I know I am the fool, the Bills are my crack cocaine, every time I want to quit I get sucked back in. It's a habit I can't break.
They,re killin me Whitey, They're killin me!

I have the ticket so when the Bills are on the road I see a lot of NFL football. I get really pissed when I see wide receivers running wide open, backs out of the backfield running a crossing pattern, wide open, actual use of tight ends and teams with multiple wide receivers who not only can get open but they can also catch.
An NFL team (my team) gets shut out!

Reading the posts on this board after a loss / bad performance usually just make me laugh. However, sometimes it feels like they just my trigger an aneurysm and make my head explode....
Actually one year ago September 26,2017 I had a stroke. Doctor said if you are a Bills fan it may have led to the stroke.

I am in my 44th year as a season ticket holder and I have said at least 30 times over the years "that this is the worst" I have embraced the suck but I see the end is near.
I am 62 years old and I only have about 39 seasons left.

Looking around the league yesterday there is no doubt the Bills have the worst offense in the entire country. Pee wee, high school ,college, powder puff...... Will we ever see an NFL offfense? Will we ever see a real NFL receiver? The rules in the Nfl favor offenses and here in Buffalo the Bills can"t get a freakin field goal. Some point totals from yesterday, Houston 37, Colts 34, Bears 48, Bengals 37, Falcons 36, Pats 45, Browns 42, Raiders 45, Saints 33. The team I root for 0, ZERO, NONE, ZILCH, NADA not a freakin point. Years ago John McKay coach of the Tampa Bay Bucs was asked about the EXECUTION of his offense, he said he was in favor of it. Thats how I feel about the Bills offense.
I want my ticket money back, I deserve at least half my money back as it seem that the Bills only field half a team. That wide receiver bunch is a freakin joke, and the offensive line is the punch line.
Thanks for letting me vent. They're killin me Whitey, they're killin me!

So freakin depressing, sadly it might be the truth. It is always the Bills as being talked about as the WORST never the FIRST.

Even though I refused to pay a ridiculous price for the Buffalo Bills, I would have produced a winner. Now that won’t happen.
7:11 AM - 13 Oct 2014Sorry Donny, you are wrong again. It has happened without you. AND our Bills are still in BUFFALO.
NFL looking at changes to Punting

Get rid of the kick off. It really irritates me when fans are fired up before the game and then it starts with a kick off going thru the end zone. Everybody sits while they spot the ball, offense runs on field and fans take a drink.
Like the punt if the kick is returned there is a penalty, especially if it is the Bills.
