Lori Posted November 15, 2009 Posted November 15, 2009 FWIW, this has been the pattern for years. From my memory, traffic is heaviest after the season through Feb. It starts to taper and then spikes for the draft. After that it tapers until opening day. A new spike occurs and it tapers until the final day where we can renew our calls for a new owner/GM/Coach/QB... Add a few temporary blips after a particularly egregious loss has people screaming to cut/fire everyone RIGHT NOW!!!!, and I think you've pretty much nailed it. "Groundhog Day" for masochists. Sigh ... Don't know if you saw it, 'bot, but Graham has joined the "shoulda drafted Oher" legion.
DCbillsfan Posted November 15, 2009 Posted November 15, 2009 I really think folks have finally just had enough. Pretty much sums it up. I've been a die hard Bills fan for years. When the Bills lost a game, I would think about that game for a couple of days. Now I turn on the game and I'm falling asleep during the game. Not only are the Bills bad but they have reached a point where they're not even entertaining anymore. I want to follow the team but apathy is really sinking in fast.
Sisyphean Bills Posted November 15, 2009 Posted November 15, 2009 I still think we have one--Tinker Bell. And what should the fans do for entertainment while the organization is waiting for Tinker Bell to play at the level of an average NCAA Bowl Subdivision OT?
JohninMinn. Posted November 15, 2009 Posted November 15, 2009 TO not even trying was the last straw for me. You dont drop that many passes without having a "I dont give a crap" attitude.

I want to follow the team but apathy is really sinking in fast. To be fair, they reached that point about 2 years ago. It's only your optimism as a fan that allowed you to be entertained until recently. Don't feel bad, though. We're in the same boat together. There really isn't much to say anymore. The Bills are a bad team - period. They playing boring, uninspired football. They have boring, uninspired coaches. They have boring, uninspired players. Maybe they scratch out a win, maybe they don't; it really doesn't matter. There's absolutely no way this team can be considered relevant. We all know it, even the players know it. Everyone is just going through the motions - the players because they're paid to, us fans because its more habitual at this point. Maybe it changes this off season, maybe it doesn't. "8 weeks left and we all know the season is already over"... pretty much sums it all up.
Astrobot Posted November 15, 2009 Posted November 15, 2009 Maybe we have put loyalty to the team above sanity. Or there is more to talk about when a team is mediochre. Think about it--which generates more chat being Colts or Buffalo
Dan Posted November 15, 2009 Posted November 15, 2009 TO not even trying was the last straw for me. You dont drop that many passes without having a "I dont give a crap" attitude. What's worse... a player dropping passes and not caring? Or a player dopping passes and the coach still thinks he doesn't need to practice with his starting QB?

As long as he's running his sprints at full speed and getting his cardio stuff done on Wednesdays.
