Band wagon jumpers

All of you that are hating the Bills and the move that they have made are probably the same people that stayed to watch the Huston playoff game.

 

Give the guy a chance.

Many of us will do both (Hate the Bills but give him a chance). There is clearly a problem when the top 8 GM and coaching candidates turn the Bills down. The Bills have done a lot of things the past 10 years to give the whole league, AND it's fan base, the perception they don't have a clue. Nix and Gailey will do NOTHING to dispel those notions... unless results are seen on the field. I predict ticket-holders are about to abandon the Bills in droves... but I also think that many Bills fans will remain loyal and will be begging for some... ANY... sign of life from this team... and then return to the Stadium.

Ten years since a playoff game.

 

What's the point where "bandwagon jumping" becomes "I could do something constructive with my Sundays"?

I'm sorry, but the words Bandwagon and Buffalo Bills Fans do not go together...

 

Wait, unless you hate yourself, then yeah sure

 

:thumbdown: Been saying this for years. These "Look at me I'm a better fan than you" threads are the worst.

 

Other teams bandwagon fans root for? Clippers, Pirates?

I was at that game along with many others and now they are dead to me. Retaining Jauron and signing TO put them on probation. This was it. I honestly can't watch them destroy themselves any more. This move is going to kill the franchise in Buffalo. Season tickets will drop by 15-30% this year. No real FAs are going to come here with this. Are you serious? They are going to stink out of the box because they still won't have a QB which will kill any remaining vibe to sell any more tickets next year. By the end of next year the buzzards will already be circling as ESPN constantly shows an empty Ralph with a 3-13 team. Ralph isn't going to live long enough to fix this one and the epic fail that is about to ensue will kill off the fanbase so as to remove any valid arguments against leaving.

 

Go ahead flame me, give out personal attacks. Call me bandwagon fan, a traitor, and whatever. I don't care. You're getting upset because you know I'm right and you just won't admit it to yourself. This was the most critical hire in the history of the franchise and, predictably, they blew it.

How do you know that ANYBODY turned down the Bills job? All I ever read was "informed sources" or "a knowledgeable source says," that sort of crap. Even with Brian Schottenheimer there was no confirmed request for the interview he supposedly turned down. In his case, a rumor was started that he was high on the Bills list, so reporters asked him if he was going to interview. He said he was happy with the Jets. At no time did the Bills say a word about inviting him in. And neither did he say he was invited. Buddy Nix said in his press conference that Gailey was the ONLY candidate he offered the job to. If he's lying, well then, I guess we can expect all those people who supposedly turned down the job to come forward and say so.

Can't disagree.

However, I feel an honest effort was made to bring in a big name and They just did not want to come.

But this is an uninspired hire.

+1

 

I held out hope that after they fired the Dick that there would be real change. My first Bills game was back at the rockpile, so I've been around awhile. But this is it. As DC Tom posted above, I'm taking my Sunday's back. I wish you (suckers) the best with the laughingstock of the league. This gives me no joy, mind you. I have had too much invested emotionally over the years to let this team go without a fight, but it's time to move on.

 

The sad part is that I will most likely still lurk here on the board, watching the train wreck this group has become with mild interest. But ultimately, F*** the Bills!

 

This from a lifelong fan. Best of luck guys...

Then the pile of money placed in front of them was insufficiently large. Somehow I doubt that the Chanster is raking in anywhere near 7 million per.

 

Ralph talks lobster game with a tripe budget.

Sounds like you're describing the script of Major League. A story about a baseball teams young female owner's attempt to create a team so distasteful to the fans that it would justify moving the team to another city. The team realizing they are a bunch of second rate losers, rally around each other and win the penant. In our case seriously doubt we'll get the happy ending that the movie provided.

I Love the Buffalo Bills. Ive been a fan since 1960. My first game was AFC championship game when Stratton broke Lincolns ribs. I still swear at the Tv when they screw up. Feel ill on Monday mormings when they lose. It's almost like a marriage. For better or worst but you still have your arguments with your spouse but still love them. I'am not about to divorce them. If the Bills died (MOVED) I would grieve deeply. Lets hope the guys who do this football stuff know more then us. Lets hope Nix gets Gaily the horses ala Polian. As my dear MOM used to say. It will be all right.

Whatever. I see you live in Philly. You can root for the Iggles.

I agree, have to give the guy a chance. It could be a lot worse meaning the Bills are still in Buffalo.

Spoken like a guy who knows the full history of this pathetic franchise under a mediocre owner.

I guess I do and your right it has been sad except for the early 60's and ninetys. I treasure those memories and hope they can make somemore for us. If they ever win the SB in my life time I might even get a Tatoo.

You guys seem to think Cowher knows what he is doing he says Gailey is the right coach. So your argueing with Cowher.

They probably brought Cowher in to ask him about Gailey and others.

Wow! Perception is reality? And are you sucking off of Sullivan's teat? Sports Writers and the media care about relevancy! Don't buy into it, young Buffalo fan!

 

Yep we suck now, but things get better, and this was a good day....

 

The Donahoe era is flushed clean!!!

Yes, I'm disagreeing with Bill Cowher's diplomacy regarding a former colleague. I don't want Bill Cowher to pick a coach. I want Bill Cowher to coach and I highly doubt that Mr. Cowher would say that Chan is a better coach than he is.

Heck, it could prove to be a great hire. It's not as if Gailey hasn't tasted success, something we haven't had much of the past 15 years....

What I don't understand is why the ones claiming to be "done" with the team still come here and post.

 

If you're "done", then be done. Stop coming around.

 

Maybe the mods could place a tag on everyone who "jumps ship" so we can keep up with them. That could be interesting...

I went in a totally different direction. I wrote Chan Gailey a letter after his press conference and "talked" about a vision of igniting this team again into a true Super Bowl winner! Silly me, but you know what, I did this with Bill Polian, so I said to him (Gailey) that this is a watershed day in the history of Bills football. Try a little persistance in the never ending babble of "should I stay or should I go" garbage! Look at New Orleans, every dog has its day people, so I FULLY expect the Bills to return to prominance some day and frankly, I think it'll be soon!!
