zazie Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 I was excited last year at 5-1; fully ready to give the Bills complete confidence and looking forward to the playoffs. This year I will take a more conservative approach and likely not see the light at the end of the tunnel until we have nine wins with two game to go. What if the Bills somehow against the odds, start strong? When do you jump on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What if the Bills somehow against the odds, start strong? When do you jump on? Not sure what jumping on refers to ... to me anything short of a secured playoff spot is unacceptable this year. Jauron has had plenty of time to build "his team" and "his staff." If he does not get it done this year I'll gladly be with the crowd throwing him on the first "wagon" headed out of town.

Yikes that was terrible Tell me 'bout it. I had the pleasure of attending that game (my first year as a season ticket holder). Ah, the days when Bills fans were convinced that all this team needed to succeed was Mike Nugent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. WEO Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 been there (bledsoe vs steelers 2nd and 3rd stringers), done that, same result as usual Everyone blames Bledsoe for that loss, but it was our defense who could not get off the field during a 9 minuteSteelres 4th Q drive featuring an offense of St. Pierre at QB and unknown Willy Parker. This dynamic duo's strategy consisted of Parker running 11 times in the drive. Or in the 3rd Q, Bledsoe lead the team on a 7 minute drive 80 yards. 3rd and 1 on the Steelers 11 and Reed gets called for PI. F**king Lindell misses ensuing 28 yard FG.

Admitting it, I mean. It takes absolutely no guts to BE a bandwagoner. GO BILLS!!! How much punishment should I (we) take from a team that keeps DJ on forever knowing he is horrible. They could have had Mike Sherman and they hired DJ. 2-8 down the stretch, 0-6 in the division last year. I lose all interest in the NFL as soon as the Bills are out of it every year. A fair weather fan roots for the teams that are good that particular year. I am only a Bills fan for life. The franchise should do something for the fans as well as vice versa.

Mike Sherman was so beloved by his peers around the NFL that he's no longer in the NFL in any capacity. I mean really just because we picked sh-- as our hc, doesn't mean the other sh-- was any less smelly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heels20X6 Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 This post was poorly worded. You should have asked: "How many wins into the season will it take before you believe they're a legitimate contender?" I know many after the 5-1 start still questioned the legitimacy of that record. Sadly, Jauron's ineptitude in combination with the decline in Trent's play led to a disasterous 2-8 finish. Using the phrase "bandwagon" refers to fandom. And if you're on this message board and stuck with this team for at least the last 10 years, you've proven your mettle as a fan, because unless you're also an S&M freak, being a fan and hoping for a return to the glory days is the only reason you'd stick with this mess this long.

You can get as many Bills fans as you want on that Dump Dick bandwagon, but you still have to have the old man abandon his PT Cruiser and take the wheel to drive Dick out of town. Can you imagine Ralph taking Dick for a ride, and dropping him off just inside Pennsylvania? Is there a junction of Routes 7 and 9 somewhere?

AF88Bills Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 I'm going to stay on the bandwagon from day one. I think it would take consecutive 10 win seasons for me to become a Jauron believer. I think this team is loaded with weapons...unfortunately, they neglected the O/D lines for too long and Jauron is too conservative for the team to take advantage of their strengths.
