So, I got called today from the Bills ticket office and the message from Chris Brown said that I will be patched in to a conference call with Freddie Jackson, George Wilson and Chris Brown. It's an open discussion about the state of the Bills and all I have to do is standby on my phone at 5:15 pm tomorrow. Any else get this?
Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhh, this is gonna be real good. LOL. Poor Freddy and George. My first question is going to be.....Why isn't Russ Brandon in on this call?
Very interested in how this is gonna go.
Yep. I got it too.

Let me get this straight, You attack someone for not being a fan but you cannot be attacked for being a Lemming?
Spend the green how you want to, I was just offering a more reasonable alternative in these tough economic times.
Enjoy YOUR '09 Buffalo Bills!
Never once said anyone wasn't a fan. Maybe questioned their sanity for posting on this board.
Tough times indeed.
Since they'll only be MY Bills next year and not yours, I'll go back to my original question, just directed at a different poster: Why are you here? Certainly not to share your rapier wit.

6 of the 8 in my group have decided to finally give up our tix. That being said, I think you should be able to do whatever you want with your tix. But I dont understand the sense of entitlement that you have as some "SUPERFAN". Why are you and others on this board better than any other Bills fan? What you call "loyalty", I call "Lemming". Who cares if you fly 1800 miles to come and watch a football game! Quit with "You're not a fan" BS because who the Eff are you...The Fan Police? Why don't you just stay in Hell Paso and pay someone to kick you in the nuts every Sunday, it will be a lot cheaper.
Never claimed to be super fan and pobably should have left that part of the post out. I only included 'cause the original topic was concerning season tickets.
That being said. who the hell are you to question how I spend my money?
My entire point was if the poster I quoted feels that strongly about the direction of the team and feels it necessary to trash season ticket holders who want to renew, then why bother being on this board at all?
Say your peace about the team and how it's run, cool. Don't spew garbage about those of us who choose to support the franchise with our dollars.

Great, we need people like you to drink the kool-aid so I can watch at home if I even feel like it. As a former season ticket holder (Sunday being my last game as one, and yes I was there) I can honestly say that this owner and this coach aren't worth my money. It's pretty much that simple. I'd rather take a couple thousand dollars and do something more meaningful and enjoyable and let someone else have my four seats.
This team and this owner have sucked for exponentially more years than they've been good. They've had some of the worst coaches ever. The owner wants to maximize his profit for his family while foresaking the football team, the fans and even more disgustingly the taxpayers who have and continue to foot the bill so he can make his $20-$25 mil person season on their collective back.
I no longer equate the validity of this city or this region with this football team. Buffalo as a city gets no respect nationally because it's a regressive, tax-happy city run by unions and special interests while bleeing populaiton. No football team is going to make that any different in our eyes of the nations eyes. If this football team is all we have, we're worse off tha I thought.
How they can market this coach who was out-classed, out-thought and out-coached on Sundays in almost every game is beyond me. Lots of luck to them. Aside from the continual coaching problem the team faces (let's be honest, DJ isn't going to get better), it has failed miserably in drafting and free agency. The drafting has been poor. Then there is the inability of this team/coaches to develop players. Players from college to the pros can get better with coaching, the Bills seem to get worse.
Have fun with your 2009 season tickets.
This is the type of post that kills me. I just don't get it. Why are you here? Why do you post? Why do you care? Go away. I travel 1800 miles to go to Bills games as a long distance season ticket holder and will renew. After reading your post I just don't understand your interest in this team. If you chose not to support it, cool, fine, GO AWAY. If these are your feelings, great. I'll just assume that this is your last post on this board because I don't need, nor care to read your thoughts.

Here in Rochester it's You! with a chance of
You! tonight and a deep blanketing of 
You! tomorrow.Rubbing fingers together and playing the worlds tiniest violin just for you.
Jack-ASS!!
Thought you'd like to know that I finally made it to Ft Myers. 75 degrees with blue skies and a slight breeze off of the Gulf.
I think I'll watch the Bills game this afternoon at the beach.
-
60 degrees and sunny in El Paso. Trying to get to Ft Myers but delayed 4 hours 'cause the incoming flight is stuck in Chicago
-
This is the problem. you need to get over that. Let them leave. Are they worth the sunday headaches.
Then why are you on this board?
-
Is this really the right thing to do though?
Unfortuately, yes it is, unless you want to see the Bills leaving WNY become a self-fulfilling prophesy.
And yes, I'll renew again.
-
Always THE big game for me too. But this season, it's not about the Phish. It's about Toronto.
-
Been in a funk all weekend and I can't remember EVER looking forward to a Bills' game with this much dread. Instead of thinking about what they have to do to stop Miami, I'm thinking how this entire situation simply should not be. I'm getting a glimpse of what the future may hold and I don't like it.
I've followed this team since its inception and supported them through the (mostly) bad and the good times. But the prospect of actually watching a Bills' "home" game, in Toronto, against a division rival - the Phish no less- has me really depressed.
It finally sinks in that this could be the beginning of the end of a relationship that has been a part of my life since I've been a kid.
I've always supported RW in his ownership but this is a betrayal of the fans that supported his business no matter how poorly it was managed. Yes he kept the team in WNY but WNY also helped make him very wealthy. And this is a region that really does have better things to spend their money on given the economics of the past 40+ years.
To me, the game today is secondary. This sucks.
-
Thanks....I think....
-
Too many division losses. 10-6 that way might not get us in and that would be really awful.
-
Do you people all have too much time on your hands?
-
It's the reality of being disrespected all the time that makes me wonder what it might take.
Disrespected. What does that really mean? Is it important to have fishwraps and bookies kiss the Bills A$$?
Please, we have a very good team to root for. Enjoy it while you can. The only thing that's important is that we know they're good and they know they're good. As long as they win, I couldn't give a crap what the talking heads think.

Maybe a "wow" and a couple of "zers" but I don't see a wowzer in the bunch.

Only two plays in Bills history where they came from behind on last play of game where yesterday and the Jim Kelly plunge on into the endzone against Miami.
I read this in the Buffalo News this morning and also in the USA Today. I find it almost impossible to believe.
It seems that they've lost many games on the final play over the years and to only have won two since 1960...well, it just doesn't seem possible. Has anyone gotten any other verification on this? It wouldn't be the first time that one source (let's say, the USA Today) passed on info from another source (the News) without checking.
-
Thought it sucked. Idiotic plot and pitiful acting.
I'm a Sci-fi guy and am used to scenarios that are "out there" - As a matter of fact, the more, the better. But this was just plain...I dunno...awful is the best word I can use. Like: ok we'll just let the insane scientist out of the state hospital with a roque FBI agent so he can restablish his illegal lab at an Ivy league university. Come on....

Great game!. Great start to the season!
My wife and I will check out the bar next week - that'll hopefully make it 8. I'll spread the word around as I mentioned that I've run into a few Bills fans. Who knows, may be the start of something...
PM coming...
not a bad outing 6 people showed up, hopefully if any el pasoans who are bills fans and reading this, come stop on by -
Cool. Let me know what you find out. Drop me a PM if you'd like.
Years ago, a friend and I re-started the Bills Backers of Minneapolis/St.Paul when the previous organizers gave up. We took it from 5 members to the 130 that it is today with our own bar for every game (Sabres, too). May not be that many Bills fans around here but we may be able to give it a go. Let me know...
i have been here since march 2007, the information they had at the bills backers site showed it over at airway blvd at the hilton hotel, but i've heard they havent assembled there since 2005, I will go check it out tomarrow, if they arent showing it ill go to the "steel mill" (steelers bar) at King's XFYI:
the new bills backers location map shows that they meet at frankies at 5850 onix in sunland park I only asked bout it here on the forums because when I called that number the girl sounded clueless
-
I know there aren't too many bills fans here, and I dont know if this information is correct but are the el paso bills backers meeting up at frankies in sunland park?
I'd sure like to know if that's true! We moved to EP this past January and have met a couple Bills fans but haven't heard about Fankies. How long have you been here?

I just got club seats this year, they carry a 3 year commitment. The seats are about the same price as the 100 level but carry a seat license fee of $975 this season (1050 next and 1100 in 2010(for 10 games, but 2 are in TO so only 80% of that this year)) they also include MANDATORY playoff purchases.
So all in all my seats are $1200 each this year or about $150 a game.
B.
True, True.
-
Ok, so I type slow, BFD!
Anyways, to sum it all up: Sabres better play a whole lot better really soon or this is gonna be another in a lonnnnnggg line of heartbreaks. Too cute, too fancy and too soft for play-off hockey!!! I've seen about 6 teams so far in the '07 SCP's that are playing MUCH better than the locals.
Come on boyz! Git your sh-- together!

Hmm, the guy in the photo is Joe DeLuca.. is that who I think it is?
I'll take a wild stab and guess that it's...Joe DeLuca???

No, that was George. Levi Brown invented the Electric Chair
