Keukasmallies Posted August 24, 2014 Posted August 24, 2014 One can be a Bills fan and not be blind to the fact that they simply suck, have sucked and will continue to suck until the culture of failure is broken at OBD. New owner, completely new administration, new on-field staff who seek the same thing: Winning games. Currently, the organization is focused on objectives that are at odds with the fans.

plenzmd1 Posted August 24, 2014 Posted August 24, 2014 Yes , please cancel. After all, seems everyone gets it for free based on other thread, so that makes perfect sense to cancel. Why do 90% of the people on this board even watch the games! seems like torture to them....please cancel
Griz Posted August 24, 2014 Posted August 24, 2014 Do what you need to do. However, when the Bills win a few games and you call them to reactive, you will likely be fiscally violated. I'll stick with free Ticket. I'll also stick with my team.

Rico Posted August 25, 2014 Posted August 25, 2014 I'll watch from a bar, or using pirated streams Yes indeed.
nucci Posted August 25, 2014 Posted August 25, 2014 So many opportunities to give up on this team over the years and many are doing it after a preseason game? Best fans in the league.
Badasss Posted August 25, 2014 Posted August 25, 2014 It takes true character to continually support a losing team. Anyone who thinks rooting for a winning team is a "bragging right" is pathetic (any Yankee fans out there?).

Nitro Posted August 25, 2014 Posted August 25, 2014 I have followed the Bills since 65, not going to stop watching and supporting them now.
John from Riverside Posted August 25, 2014 Posted August 25, 2014 Is there a kick your own self in the nuts option?
SACTOBILLSFAN Posted August 25, 2014 Posted August 25, 2014 This team doesn't even deserve the boos they got yesterday from fans. I have literally never had such disinterest in a coming season in my 25 years of watching Bills football. Even in the worst of times I would have some weird sliver of hope that "Hey this is the NFL and anything can happen" but that has completely vanished. I used to check this board hourly to check training camp updates but now I just check where the sale of the team stands and then go do other things with my time. This team is a joke and they are embarrassing to watch, but it's not really their fault they are bad at football. I am sure I will be told to leave before the bandwagon gets full or some such nonsense and before you say that you can piss off. I have spent more money and time and emotion on this organization than they deserved, and for what? They're not any better than they were 10 years ago and they're not changing anything culturally. Marrone and Whaley talk a big game, but they drafted what appears to be an incompetent QB and have backed him up with the same sad ass QBs for 2 years now. The sad thing is I will be back and I will be watching. I just hope when this team is 1-5 I can actually make the decision to stop watching and enjoy the few weeks before the ass blast that is the Chicago winter sets in. Oh and I bought the Sunday Ticket again because I'm a sucker for pain.
Dorkington Posted August 25, 2014 Posted August 25, 2014 I've had a couple days to cool off... I might still subscribe God, I'm weak.
All_Pro_Bills Posted August 25, 2014 Posted August 25, 2014 Typically, expectations among Bills fans are sky high as we get ready for the season opener in less than 2 weeks. Usually lots of excuses for poor pre-season performance with things like vanilla offense, not game-planning, hiding stuff, new receivers, new coaches, new system, etc. This year not so much. Maybe that's a good contrary indicator? Sometimes when you see capitulation, people giving up and throwing in the towel, it's a sign we've reached rock bottom and are on the way up. Maybe we get a pleasant surprise for once? If any fanbase deserves a break its us Bills fans. I'm keeping Sunday Ticket. If I tried to cancel it my wife would get all over me about it and tell me I'm not much of a fan if I'm giving up before the season even starts. She watches the games too and at times is more devoted than I am to the Bills. I still haven't decided if having you wife like football and wanting to watch games on Sunday from 1 PM through to the night game is a good thing or not. Guess it's better than the guys that get married and find out their new wife hates watching sports and just 'faked' it when they were dating!
chris heff Posted August 25, 2014 Posted August 25, 2014 I've had a couple days to cool off... I might still subscribe God, I'm weak. Good to hear, it cost more to go watch at a bar anyway. When I use to do that it was easily $50 a game, and that is showing restraint.
eball Posted August 25, 2014 Posted August 25, 2014 "I base my decisions on whether or not I'll watch the Bills play according to their performance during preseason." -- said no fan, ever
Luxy312 Posted August 25, 2014 Posted August 25, 2014 I canceled NFL Sunday Ticket last week. I've been a subscriber for 13 years. Haven't got my money's worth in that time. I can follow the team by reading newspapers, watching TV or listening to the radio, This in a nutshell. People equating NOT getting the Sunday Ticket to not being a fan or not following the team are just plain stupid. Does anyone actually remember the NFL before there was a Sunday Ticket, before there was an NFL network? I'm old enough as I'm sure this fan is to say that I do. I suppose it could be worse. You could be a Chicago Cubs fan.
