StupidNation Posted January 20, 2010 Share Posted January 20, 2010 I wish all of you guys well. I have served the team faithfully in cities all-around the country proud of my colors. Well I'm not from western NY, but the Adirondacks, and I've never seen the Bills play live. I've watched just about every game since I discovered football in 89'. I even watched the entire Oilers game and I BILLeved. Why should I treat a team like a wife or a child I love? They don't treat me that way, they treat me as a product they can capitalize on, and if that's true why oh why should I treat the product so lovingly when I cannot love the product they give me? Why should be so hell-bent on the emotions of a team that I don't live there and MAINLY because you treat the customer like garbage? People can say I'm a bandwagon jumper and to that I say B.S. I always had hope the product would improve and I could enjoy the game even if they lose. I enjoyed watching the Bledsoe years as much as they pained me because we tried to improve the team even though the results weren't great. I got excited about Losman as a 1st rounder even after his 2 games under 80 yards and I was scratching my head how he was in the NFL. I loved the Flutie OR Johnson year, even the Collins years. Now as a man in my 30's I realize this is a business, and why should I treat this business like my freaking family when it spits in my face? I should be following players and liking those teams they play on. Some team that is exciting and young with a good nucleus I could enjoy for 8-10 years. The hiring of an old man as GM without any experience and a figure-head to a nerd who knows nothing about football, to an owner who won't hire a guy like Schott, to finally now hiring a guy like Gailey has me relinquish my love for this team. I wish everyone well and I'm sure all the "don't let the door hit ya" posts will be lost on me as I don't care. Thanks Ralph!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure you're aching to be a Giants or Jets fan anyway being from the Adirondacks. We're a tougher breed out here, and we actually support our local team, and not jump on the flavor of the month.

We're a tougher breed out here, and we actually support our local team, and not jump on the flavor of the month. If I ever quit the Bills (I will take a vacation as long as Vick is here if we sign him) the NFL is dead to me. With that said, this guy is a troll, small loss.

The_Philster Posted January 20, 2010 Share Posted January 20, 2010 The hiring of an old man as GM without any experience this part right here's one of the dumbest parts of the post, IMO....spent several years as San Diego's asst GM and the primary job of a GM is to bring in personnel....which Buddy's always been good at Thomas Smith Damien Covington Eric Moulds Gabe Northern Sam Cowart Peerless Price Shawn Bryson all came from his region and so did Eric Wood Shawn Nelson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IndyMark Posted January 20, 2010 Share Posted January 20, 2010 Again, as stated previous times, Bills fans are appearing to be a fairly brittle, fragile, and entitled bunch. Getting over amped up because an owner made a choice without consulting all the 'smart' people on this board. Really. Reading these posts is absolutely humorous and offers strong evidence Bills fans are whimply, short sited, and feel unusually entitled in some way. What part of a "Boss hired someone he was comfortable with" is hard to wrap your mind around? Ralph owns the team. Ralph can do what he wants and does not need to placate 'WNY". Or am I missing something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
