KD in CA Posted November 22, 2011 Posted November 22, 2011 Good piece. One reason I'm glad I have daughters: none of them will care about the Bills.
BuffaloBill Posted November 22, 2011 Posted November 22, 2011 It's almost unreal that the only attention the Bills and their fans now get is pity pieces.
BUFFALOKIE Posted November 22, 2011 Posted November 22, 2011 "All hope is lost"? My @$$! I will never lose hope!
Kipers Hair Posted November 22, 2011 Posted November 22, 2011 A good piece that accurately portrays what it is like to be a Bills fan outside of WNY...and let's face it, it is quite over.
RyanC883 Posted November 22, 2011 Posted November 22, 2011 A good piece that accurately portrays what it is like to be a Bills fan outside of WNY...and let's face it, it is quite over. Yeah, it's over. Crap. Both the Pirates and Bills did this to me. At least Crosby came back last night and Syracuse Basketball is looking good.
bowery4 Posted November 22, 2011 Posted November 22, 2011 I agree with one of the comments, that kid has to stop wearing the !@#$ing hat!
WWVaBeach Posted November 22, 2011 Posted November 22, 2011 This was a good read. Unfortunately it hits the bullseye.
Metal Man Posted November 22, 2011 Posted November 22, 2011 At the start of the season my hope was that the team showed some improvement and that come December they were still alive for the play-offs so at least some of the final games could mean something. After the hot start I was definitely thinking higher but now that reality is starting to set in I can't really complain. The team has shown a lot of improvement, when healthy, and even with a loss to the Jets this Sunday there still will be a mathematical chance to get into postseason even if it is only a very small one. I know for most teams it is a pretty low bar to set but as a Bills fans you have to keep some of your high hopes in check to avoid serious disappointment every year.

judman Posted November 22, 2011 Posted November 22, 2011 If you read the piece, you can see that Steelers fans are even a-holes in pre-school. ha ha ha ha ha...
benderbender Posted November 23, 2011 Posted November 23, 2011 Yeah, it's over. Crap. Both the Pirates and Bills did this to me. At least Crosby came back last night and Syracuse Basketball is looking good. I don't know about Crosby, when you have concussion-like symptoms for that long, it has to be a career shortening thing. I wouldn't be surprised to see him out again when the NHL lifts the moratorium on hitting him.
