Dude, you're reading into it too much. Am I tired of losing? Of course. That dude on your avatar went through plenty of losing seasons himself. Yet, why would you (I know you said you wouldn't anyway) wear a shirt that basically says, "my team sucks?" Conversely, if the Patriots suck again for ten years straight, I would maybe want to wear a shirt alluding to the extent of their futility- not my own team! Gotta put things in perspective- the Bills have made the playoffs ten of the last 21 seasons going into this season. We are not the Lions, we are not the Clippers, we are not the Cubs, and yes people, Ralph Wilson does care about winning. Can't wait for Sunday, Go Bills!

 

 

Ok this subject is perhaps run its course. Go Bills may they get to .500 this weekend.

What the hell is with this "fail" thing I keep seeing? I don't get it, nor do I find it funny. No self-respecting Bills fan would wear that shirt. Do you know who the two worst teams in the league were between about 1987 and about 1994? The Colts and the Patriots. Get over yourselves and back your team.
