Seems like everywhere I go I run into disgusted fans and this is the most depressed bunch in years.
Been a season ticket holder for 42 years, this is the worst I have ever seen it!
There has been worse years, but most fans see a disturbing trend that snowballs into increased frustration.
Below average coaching, experimental quarterbacks, continuous changes on the offensive line, wasted draft picks,critical mistakes in key games, missed chances in free agency ,etc, etc, etc......
Here is a sample of the reactions from 6 of my Buffalo Backers friends. ( I see them every day) Most of them said a lot more but I will give you a summary.
#1 John
"I have simply given up on this team, I don't have the money for this garbage anymore." (he's cheap anyway)
#2 Steve
"What is there to be excited about, the team does not have one player I like anymore" (cry baby)
" I can't find ONE guy on this team that I believe in anymore..........this has never happened to me before!"
#3 Roberto
" I am done with this team, I am going to follow college football or watch the Sabres, anything but the Bills!
#4 Floyd
"The Bills main message board went from 710 after a preseason game online to 173 after a regular season game, so WHAT DOES THAT TELL YA? Fans are so agrivated, they don't even want to comment on the subject anymore"
#5 Ray (my Boss)
"Show me the Bills want to win, then I will be back, has nothing to do with wins and losses!"
"Its about effort, intensity and improvement."
"I don't have the strength to even read the newspaper anymore, too depressing, I stay away from things that DEPRESS ME" "I will always back a team that shows up EVERY week, but this team doesn't seem to care"
#6 George
"The Bills had the chance to add players in free agency and passed, could have had Vick for nothing, why should I waste my time?" "There is a boatload of players still available and the Bills refuse to help themselves or the fans"
"Screw Em" "Am I suppose to get excited about the Bills struggling with the freakin Browns this week?.....please"
