  1. Much as it pains me to say it. I have to go with OJ. You might as well call the Ralph "the house that OJ built" with out him the stadium would not have been built and certainly would not have held 80,000+. Also you can thank OJ for the "streaking buffalo" logo. The man WAS the franchise, without him, no one would have known the Bills existed at the time (much like now)

  2. Sorry Guys - Long time fan here, 20+ year season ticket holder, and I just can't do it anymore. I quit. At least until training camp, I will barely pay attention to this franchise. Except for the draft, will definitely follow the draft you know just to see if they are really turning things around but until then...well maybe just a glance every now and then to see what kind of staff Chan is assembling...other than that it's over I tell ya...OVER! (what's that number for text alerts?)

  3. I can't believe that fans are lower than the 1984 & 1985 seasons when the Bills had back to back 2-14 seasons . There were a little over 20 thousand people at the last home game in 1984 & in 1985 half the home games had attendance in the 20 thousands. The Bills were losing players to the USFL and people were driving around with bumper stickers that read "Bring Pro Football Back To Buffalo" In 1985 the Bills fired Kay Stephenson & replaced him with Hank Bullough (nicknamed the doctor of defense), who would be fired in 1986. One highlight of fan discontent of Bullough came on a Monday night when a caller to WBEN's Hank Bullough show said to the coach "If you're the doctor of defense, you should be sued for malpractice."

    One thing that you have to remember is that back in 84-85 Bills fans did not yet know the feeling of being a championship caliber football team (mid-sixties teams aside). Fans now can still hark back to the glory days of the early 90s, and as the saying goes the higher you go the farther the fall..

  4. Next year will be my 20th and I am on the fence right now, I grew up in the shadows of the Ralph (even played some volleyball with the infamous hammer!) So I have been going to games since '73 sneaking in as a kid, cleaning up the stadium after, just to get in for the game etc. Right now I am having a hard time justifying the expense and time commitment to watch this exercise in futility. The game day experience is what keeps me coming back. my guess is come next year my answer will be...Just when I thought I was out... they pull me back in
