Or every year since you’ve become a fan it’s been the same amount of passion every year?

 

 

From 2001-2006 I did fall a bit of Bills fandom/following the team.  Largely a result of being in college those years and not really much stood out from the team.  Just in retrospect Drew Bledsoe from memory.

Late '70s into mid-80s during undergrad and grad school.  Just didn't have time to sh!t or wind my watch.  Given the state of the Bills back then, the timing was fortuitous.

There were some years during the drought where I still watched/followed the team but I just knew they were a horrible team and had no actual faith in them accomplishing anything.  I would call those seasons "going through the motions" years for me

As a Bills fan, I am always interested in the Bills. Even when they sucked for most the 70's, 84 and 85, and the drought years I was always rooting for them to win. It wasn't fun losing most of the time, but I never lost interest in them and never will.

After the first year here, Bledsoe did precious little standing.  It was then either stumbling or picking himself up off the turf...

Yep. My wife and I had Sunday Ticket and would end up falling asleep on the couch most second halves because we were so Billsy.

I had more fun when the Bills were horible.  Rob Riddick was Rob Ridiculous,  Kenny Jones was Kenny sure grip (always holding)

So I was never down on the team but it was exhausting. 

Look at the board now, it was busier when the Bills were bad.

So I now live down in North Carolina for close to about 17 years now.  After the 2015 season, the Bills were pretty much losing every year so decided in 2016 I'll maybe start following the local team the Panthers.  They're on TV every week, in the local papers to some level, not like in western NY and they just finished 15-1 and lost in the SB.  I wasn't going to ignore the Bills, but wouldn't bother trying to find a way to watch a Bills game when had the Panthers on local TV and newspapers.

 

They went from SB lose to 6-10, finished in last place and started the season 1-5.  After that start I kind of gave up on them and went back to the Bills who actually finished wit ha better record in Rex's last year here.  Haven't wavered since

Not really. The drought was pretty much all I knew. I was too young during the superbowl years. So, I didn't know any better.

No, never disinterested.  The least interested I ever got was during my college years ~1998-2004 and even then I was heavily interested. Just not as much as before and after because of how many distractions there are associated with college.
