ChevyVanMiller Posted October 5, 2009 Share Posted October 5, 2009 I need to preface this post by stating that I'm 45 and I've been a Bills' fan for my entire life. Sundays, during football season, are days that I have devoted to the worship of my beloved Bills. Pre-game, game and post-game were all moments that I never missed - be it in person at the game, on the TV or, during blackouts, on the Radio. This weekend I turned off the game at halftime. It wasn't the first time that I've done so in the Juaron era. There was a time when I would have considered such an action blasphemy. Sadly, the lack of competitiveness of Jauron's teams has taken the desire out of me to give up 3 hours of my life sitting through such dreck. What I want to know is: are the rest of you hanging in there from whistle to whistle? I think the fact that I didn't yesterday is all the proof that I need to know that, at least for this once-prod fan, it's time for Jauron to go.

todd Posted October 5, 2009 Share Posted October 5, 2009 I turned the game off for the first time since Greggggggg Williams was coach.

Chef Jim Posted October 5, 2009 Share Posted October 5, 2009 It's years like this that make me glad I no longer live in WNY where I'd feel obligated to at least turn in on. I had better things to do yesterday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the worst thing, I dont even get mad anymore because I expect it. DID YOU READ THAT RALPH WILSON, I DONT EVEN GET MAD B/C I EXPECT THE BILLS TO LOSE IN A WAY THAT I THOUGHT PREVIOUSLY WAS NOT POSSILBE. (I.E. Dallas MNF, CLeveland MNF, and this year vs Pats on MNF) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Realist Posted October 5, 2009 Share Posted October 5, 2009 I was watching the game at a bar and left at halftime. I don't have Direct TV but I usually try and find a video feed on the internet. This time I just turned on the Audio and went and did other things, just checked in every once in awhile and it got worse everytime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Major Mud Posted October 5, 2009 Share Posted October 5, 2009 I was at the game and stayed until the last drive then i went to the parking lot to get drunk! Miami fans can be abusive when they win! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muffmonster Posted October 5, 2009 Share Posted October 5, 2009 I didn't turn it off, but I left the room midway into the 4th quarter. Surprised I made it that long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bufcomments Posted October 5, 2009 Share Posted October 5, 2009 i turned it off after the edwards pick 6 Me too, Its hard to watch them. anytime they get behind by more than a touchdown I have little faith they will come back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plenzmd1 Posted October 5, 2009 Share Posted October 5, 2009 Well, I must say that I didn't turn it off..but I watched on Tivo and went thru the second half in 3x fast forward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2003Contenders Posted October 5, 2009 Share Posted October 5, 2009 These Bills commit the cardinal sin: not just that they are losing -- but they are losing in unwatchable fashion. I could almost live with the losing if the team was at least entertaining. This team sucks -- and they are just so nauseating to watch! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lets_go_bills Posted October 5, 2009 Share Posted October 5, 2009 Yesterday's performance was so brutal. It was pathetic. Just a train wreck. That was the worst performance by a Bills team that I've seen in a long time. It was so bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GOBILLS78 Posted October 5, 2009 Share Posted October 5, 2009 Decided I couldn't invest any more time with 6:30 left in the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eSJayDee Posted October 5, 2009 Share Posted October 5, 2009 I don't think I've "missed" a game in over 30 yrs. Game wasn't televised here & I was having too much trouble w/ internet feeds, so I was left w/ just the radio. Frequently, games cause me to take a depression induced nap after they're over. This time, I fell asleep midway thru the 3rd qtr & really didn't care. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cåblelady Posted October 6, 2009 Share Posted October 6, 2009 I changed the channel in the 3rd quarter. I actually started laughing when TE threw his 2nd interception. What a loser. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CodeMonkey Posted October 6, 2009 Share Posted October 6, 2009 I watched it all assuming I'd see Fitz in the 4th quarter when the game was out of reach. DJ !@#$ed me that way too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kipers Hair Posted October 6, 2009 Share Posted October 6, 2009 They are so far from must see TV. I'll preface this with the fact I am a huge European Soccer fan....but rather than watch the game, I watched the Liverpool v Chelsea game I tivo's Sunday morning....(only after I knew we were sucking ass yesterday...).

stevewin Posted October 6, 2009 Share Posted October 6, 2009 I was watching the Bills on the outside deck of a sports bar - where they had the audio of the Bills game on - then in the 4th I went inside where there were tons of Jets fans watching that game with the sound on - so I reveled in their misery keeping half an eye on the Bills, then when the Jets game was over all TVs switched to the Dallas game which was the last late game to finish - so then got to revel in the misery of the Dallas fans that were there. That is what my life as a Bills fan has become - just trying to extract joy from the misery of other hated fanbases... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dennis in NC Posted October 6, 2009 Share Posted October 6, 2009 I watched into the 4th Q, then didn't mind turning it off when there was some cooking to be done. And, like Steve Stojan, there is no more cheering, and no surprise when things go wrong. It is now expected Trent will throw a pick-6. Pathetic is the word.
