BringBackFlutie Posted October 7, 2011 Share Posted October 7, 2011 The Lions have been the exception to the parody that the league usually is. you cant help but feel like it could be our turns to be dominant. i feel like the last time the lions were in the playoff charlie batch spiked the ball on a 4th down two minute drive (if im not mistaken). :wallbash: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chaccof Posted October 7, 2011 Share Posted October 7, 2011 If you take out 63-66 and 88-93 it's mostly been pretty sucky. Sure we had the odd year like 74 and 80 but really, that's about it. But that doesn't matter. People follow the Bills mostly because they're from WNY (like me) or jumped on the band wagon during the Super Bowl years. You don't see bunches of Bills fans walking around other cities like you do Cowboy or Steeler fans - those teams attract fans from outside their home base. The great news is that being a Bills fan is being a true fan of some professional sports team because as a Bills fan, no matter how much we all complain about ownership, management, trades, lack of trades, what ever - hope springs eternal around the last week of July and we get a thrill like this early season every ten years or so. I haven't lived in WNY since the late 70's so this may not be true anymore but I recall that after a loss my dad was in a pretty foul mood on Mondays and Tuesdays....it's probably the same today. I'm as big a complainer about the Bills as anyone but come fall I'm right there following them like most of you - win or lose....But God I'd love to just once be able to shut up my friends who are Steelers, Cowboys, Patriots, etc. fans! But the absolute number one reason I'd like to see the Bills (or the Sabers) win a Super Bowl (or Stanley Cup) is for the absolute joy it would bring to people in WNY. I can't think of any other area of the country, except maybe Cleveland, that a championship would mean more....and unfortunately I think the Eagle's will win Sunday, probably by 7-10 points....

RealityCheck Posted October 7, 2011 Share Posted October 7, 2011 I was trying to bring light to this season, but I've failed. You can bring neither light or eyesight to the blind. You should know better. Now you are disappointed for no reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orlando Bills Fan Posted October 7, 2011 Share Posted October 7, 2011 (edited) Bandwagon fan Why am I a bandwagon fan? Let's put it this way. I love the Bills. Even when I was mad at them, I watched them....couldn't stop, really...but just because I choose to live in what I consider a better place, (and that "better place" being FLORIDA, I do understand that is STRICTLY a matter of opinion) I'm a bandwagon fan? If you've been watching since 1996, I've been at it a hell of a lot longer than you. I do like the Andre Reed avatar, though. Dude should be in the Hall.

I think after talking to him he realized that you weren't a bandwagon fan... 15 years of hell and coming out the other end to this season so far is survival of the fan. It's cool.
