Vetriano Posted October 24, 2012 Share Posted October 24, 2012 Dont know if it's because I'm older than almost every player in the league with the exception of an odd kicker. But after 12 years of garbage, spending too much cash, and seeing a greedier nfl product (ie Thursday night football). Gave up fantasy football this year, don't miss it at all. Tell the truth I barely miss sitting in a bar watching this team lose week after week. So my question is, are you watching more, less or about the same. I think it would be different if lived in buffalo, im just outside nyc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dante Posted October 24, 2012 Share Posted October 24, 2012 I would say same as prior years only because of fantasy football. If not for that, it would be less. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peterpan Posted October 24, 2012 Share Posted October 24, 2012 I watch a lot less. Â Bills suck. Rule changes suck. And holy schit!!!!! I am tired of the NFC East being on tv EVERY SINGLE GAME!!!!!!!! Â You would think its the Bills and 4 other teams in the entire league with who they show in Rochester.

Buffalo 66 Posted October 24, 2012 Share Posted October 24, 2012 I think most people, me included had higher expectations this year, I quit watching games after the 49ers game just because I have more productive things to do than waste three hours of my life watching these overpaid losers! But I will always be a fan, always check the scores, stats, news ect. I am always hopeful that some day things will turn around, Buffalo has the best fans in the NFL!

Talley56 Posted October 24, 2012 Share Posted October 24, 2012 Same as before, I guess I just hold out hope that one day we will get better again. And, like the Orioles this year, I want to be able to say that I stuck with them through the hard times to get to this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bronc24 Posted October 24, 2012 Share Posted October 24, 2012 I find myself watching a lot more this year. I enjoy the parity in the league and there have been a lot of great finishes, Bills vs. Titans notwithstanding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffOrange Posted October 24, 2012 Share Posted October 24, 2012 "Game consumption" is the same. Total NFL consumption is way more, mostly because there is more of it available. Â That's part of what makes these 13 years so frustrating. The last time the Bills were good there was no NFL Network, no espn radio around the clock, no podcasts, et al mostly devoted to good teams...Just Chris Berman & Tom Jackson on Primetime, and a Pro Football Weekly that my dad used to buy. It sure seems like a way worse era for your team to suck now than 20yrs ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Green Lightning Posted October 24, 2012 Share Posted October 24, 2012 Been following the team since 1963. Is what it is and I'm not changing now. When a season's lost, I'll listen to the games while getting stuff done instead of watching. Guess I'll start doing that after the Bye. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DallasBillsFan1 Posted October 24, 2012 Share Posted October 24, 2012 I watch the same each week. I feel obligated since I spect $199 for Directv. I say this now, but I am leaning towards NOT renewing Sunday Ticket next season. I'll bet the Bills will make some move that will SUCK me in for yet another wasted $$ on a subscription.

Big C Posted October 24, 2012 Share Posted October 24, 2012 I still look forward to every Sunday; I just love football. Going to bars where all the games are on one big wall of TVs is cool. I usually have them put the Bills game on a TV away from that big wall so I can focus more on it, but it is also fun to watch all the other games too. That small time frame a couple weeks ago when Feely was missing his kick, RG3 ran for that touchdown and Sidney Rice caught that game winning TD against New England was really fun to experience all at once. Â Anyway, the Bills will get somewhere sometime. I will keep watching, but maybe during ski season I'll skip a few Sundays if we're headed nowhere.

mrags Posted October 24, 2012 Share Posted October 24, 2012 I'm the same I've been for the past 5-10 year but that's no where near where I was 10+ years ago. I still go to every home game. I still watch all the away games on tv if I'm off. If not I will tape them and go back to watch. But I don't pay much attention to other teams anymore. Just can't deal with it. Not a fan of where the league is going honestly. It's been a huge money grab forever but it's been getting worse and worse. Boxing out small market teams by playing the same damn big market powerhouses just about every Monday night. Sunday night. And Thursday night. Without doing the numbers, I'd probably say that 75% or more of the prime time games each week have one of the following teams associated: Dallas, Washington, New Jersey, the other New Jersey, New England, Chicago, Miami, San Diego, Arizona. There's always your schmuck teams that get 1 game a year but for the most part that's it. Unless your the Packers or the Steelers and that's just because of the amount of trophies they've collected and the league wants those cities to be the small market poster boys of the league. Other teams get s**t. It really depresses me considering what real football is supposed to be like. Â Oh, and I have no doubt that games are either fixed or cheating is allowed and swept under the rug just like the Pats. Spyware, no tuck rule. Wi. Ing the SB the year of 9-11. It's all very, very fishy IMO. I guess being bitter about your team sucking will make you feel this way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superbills315 Posted October 24, 2012 Share Posted October 24, 2012 im about the same only because i always start out with high hopes but as the season plays out and i get disappointed i dont waist my Sundays devoting my time to football and turn it into going hunting, but if they are playing at a high level i would still be watching  I still look forward to every Sunday; I just love football. Going to bars where all the games are on one big wall of TVs is cool.

I will keep watching, but maybe during ski season I'll skip a few Sundays if we're headed nowhere.    i have been feeling like games are fixed, i said it at the game Sunday when the ref the farthest away is throwing flags to over turn plays and it always seems to go agents the bills, or not over turning calls that are clear as day, **** im starting to think chan is in on it not going for it on 4 and 1, going for 2 reviewing the fumble at the end, thats just one game smh nfl is going in the wrong direction Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poblano Posted October 24, 2012 Share Posted October 24, 2012 i am in México and here is soccer all the time so as long as i can see football is a relief  and i don´t know how long can be without see bills games on TV no matter the score (and the pain) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ajzepp Posted October 24, 2012 Share Posted October 24, 2012 I watch FAR more college football than I ever have before....and I watch more NFL in general than I ever have before....but I watch the Bills far less. I even expect my appetite for college ball to increase more once the playoff format hits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dwight in philly Posted October 24, 2012 Share Posted October 24, 2012 i pretty much feel the same as the poster.. i am a life-long, die hard bills fan, but this year i am losing enthusiasm for the first time ever, which i attribute to the crappy bills product year after year, and the greed of the NFL(as epitomized by wilson) . pre-game shows are almost unwatchable, commercials during the games are tedious .. sick of all of it.. i used to hate bills bye weeks, now i could care less..
