Straight Hucklebuck Posted September 17, 2018 Share Posted September 17, 2018 Take the emotion out of this. We are among the least talented rosters in the NFL. Maybe Arizona is swirling the drain with us, but they at least do have a HOF WR still playing and a RB who is more in his prime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know, I started "envy" watching the Bucs last season, because I think they are building a really fantastic team...didn't work out so well last year, though there were glimmers...I will be watching them again this year. Even if Fitz fizzles out (which everyone seems to be assuming), I think Winston (who is a major a-hole, I know) is extremely talented...their passing game is loaded at every position on the roster.

hondo in seattle Posted September 17, 2018 Share Posted September 17, 2018 Lots of people think poorly of the Bills. And lots of people kill, maim, rape, and injure other people. I have both more pleasant things and more important things to worry about than Max Kellerman. His opinions mean no more to me than the football opinions of a Burmese fisherman.

Dr. K Posted September 17, 2018 Share Posted September 17, 2018 (edited) The only way to shut people like that up is for McBeane to get their act together, produce a viable roster, and win some games. The reason the Bills are being laughed at is because they are laughable. When you are down as a result of your own choices, some people at least are going to kick sand in your face.

The stadium yesterday was looking pretty empty after halftime. ....”used to” is somewhat irrelevant today. Off the top of my head, JAX is 60,000 ish seat stadium- after removing around 6000 or so they are only selling 54,000. My numbers arent perfect but my point is- they dont sell when they arent good. The Bills are still selling alot of tickets regardless if people left half way through. Also, if you look at TV ratings, many times we are at or near the top.

There comes a time when being too loyal means you crossed the "okay, I'm actually just stupid," line. I only do 1-2 games/year (and only one in Orchard Park). But I'm sure there are many, many fans who used to go to every game. Even a decade after Kelly retired. 17 years is a long ass time for a team to suck. And last year's team .... yes, they "made" they playoffs; but that was NOT a fun team to watch play football. It wasn't good football. Ever. I think Bills fans, as a whole, are awesome fans. I think a big part of it has also been affordability. When the new stadium is built and ticket prices go through the roof, it will be interesting to see how that affects the fan base.

The stadium yesterday was looking pretty empty after halftime. I don’t consider selling out the stadium on Sundays to be a determining factor when considering the loyalty of a fan base. A cities economy has a lot to say about selling out. Business contributing on a larger scale. Lots of Bills fan have also moved away from the city for economic reasons. I don’t see how someone could love the Bills more than I do....yet I’ve been to 10 home games in the last 20 years. I usually attend 1-3 away games a year. Each city I visit, the locals are always shocked at how many Bills fans there are and how we’re taking over their city. We represent better than most on the road.

BUFFALOTONE Posted September 17, 2018 Share Posted September 17, 2018 3 hours ago, Commonsense said: A player on defense quit at halftime, defense came back out and played their best half of the season. Davis had a slack reputation going back to his time with Miami and Joe Philbin. The only thing that happened yesterday is Davis proving Philbin right. This is very true. He was a huge baby in Miami, constantly needed coddling. He’s not mentally or physically tough, relied on his talent and that’s what got him this far. Good riddance and I hope Frazier gets his act together or follows him out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
