Why are you still watching?


Recommended Posts

This isn't a sarcastic, pessimistic question. Unless they pull a miracle this year, this team isn't gonna be good. Don't get me wrong, I would be happiest person on this board if I'm wrong, and I hope I am. But logically speaking, this isn't projected to be "Our year."

 

That being said, why are you still watching the games?

 

I can't recall any season in the last decade and a half where I thought it was going to be "Our year." If a winning record was all that mattered to me, then I would have cancelled my seasons 15 years ago.

 

I look at the team from a macro perspective (which is quite different from most fans), and we finally have a GM that is building the team in accordance with my views. I think it's a tremendously exciting time. I've even adjusted my avatar for the first time in 7 years to signify that the buffalo is finally rising! The Chicken Little's will come to understand eventually.

That being said, why are you still watching the games? For me, it's a few things. First, when we finally turn that corner, be it this year, next year, or 17 more years, I don't want to be called a bandwagon, fair weather fan. I want to say that I saw the transition, and watched them crawl up the ladder to finally hoist that Lombardi Trophy.

 

This, along with it being more than just tradition. I know this is cliche here, but The Buffalo Bills are more than just 53 guys on a field. It's the experience I have with my dad. Had with my grandpa, and uncles, who passed on. My great grandfather was a season ticket holder from day one, until the day he died. Not to mention newer friends I've made, both in real life, and on this board.

 

Other than the 2nd half of last season where my work schedule conflicted with The Bills, I've watched games at the same bar, with the same group of Bills fans, every week. Made some awesome friends there, that I'd never know if not for the Bills. I look forward to having beers with them, and celebrating garbage time touchdowns like we just won the super bowl just because it irks the Texans and Cowboys fans on the other side of the bar.

 

I'm excited for this season, and every season, no matter what. Just interested in hearing your reasons for sticking with this team are.

Because I love this team and will watch until I die. What the hell else am I going to watch. For better or worse my friend.
