ExiledInIllinois Posted January 20, 2010 Share Posted January 20, 2010 I am sorry, but to me...THAT is NOT something to joke about. Trust me, I promise, I would know. I don't think they meant suicide in that way... Come on... What else would you call it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
extrahammer Posted January 20, 2010 Share Posted January 20, 2010 I support the team 100%, I will continue to wear my absurd collection of Bills apparel, I will also continue to watch every game on T.V., I will also hope for the best and hope to win, but I will not put any money into this organization in any capacity until we are a contender on the field. This is coming from someone who spends an average of $50 a month at the Bills Store. That doesn't make me a bandwagoner, that makes me a smart shopper. Flame away.

Kipers Hair 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!!!! Friend - I applaud your clarity and hope you stay true to your convictions. You are right, the old man has treated all Bills fans like a trained monkey. Fetch the coins and I will give you a peanut Bills fans! I am sorry to see you go, but I wholly suppor tthe decision and wish you well. Enjoy your new found freedom.

Billsfansince72 Posted January 20, 2010 Share Posted January 20, 2010 And if the Bills start the next season 3-0, you'll be tuning in again. You can't just decide you're not going to be a fan anymore. It's too much a part of who you are. Ingrained in your psyche. You can swear off the team, but as soon as you watch them again you'll be rooting for them. Same with every Bills fan on this board. It's ok to be pissed. I'm pissed too, but come next September I'll have the same hope for my team to win that I had when I first became a fan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay4481 Posted January 20, 2010 Share Posted January 20, 2010 I think the most telling part of the post was that he "never seen the Bills play live." Once you've been to the Ralph and gotten the full experience of being a Bills fan tailgating with other Bills fans there is no turning back. The wings, the Stadium, the community, Pinto Ron...You could watch a 1000 games on TV and it doesn't even come close. I am originally from MA and I now live in Jersey-grew up a HUGE Bills fan in enemy territory. But when I actually started traveling to Buffalo to see them...everything changed. Hell, I didn't even have a hockey team growing up and now I love the Sabres because my Bills brethren converted me. Nothing will ever sway me from being a Bills fan...NOTHING. I watched the History of the Buffalo Bills on DVD for the first time the other night, and I'm damn proud to be a Bills fan...win, lose, or draw. I didn't necessarily want Chan Gailey either, but now that he is the coach I want him to succeed more than anything... GO BILLS!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blaise321 Posted January 20, 2010 Share Posted January 20, 2010 Hey StupidNation, If you want to move on to a new team, have at it. That's your right but whats up with the "Dear John" letter? If you feel the need to express your dissatisfaction with the hope that someone in the FO will read it, why not just write a letter and send it to the GM at One Bills Drive in Orchard Park? Spare us the drama. To the rest of you that are thinking about resigning as Buffalo Bills fans, please just delete TwoBillsDrive from your favorites and slip away silently. You wont be missed anyway.

NobesBLO13 Posted January 20, 2010 Share Posted January 20, 2010 Again, as stated previous times, SOME 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? That would be more accurate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
