C.Biscuit97 Posted December 28, 2015 Posted December 28, 2015 I love Fitz and laugh at people who called him a loser here (a millionaire qb from Harvard is a loser haha). But I hate the Jets more but don't want the Bills to lower their draft pick anymore. I'm so conflicted.

Bleep Chan, Fitz, and the NYJ.....No conflict for me.

billsintaiwan Posted December 28, 2015 Author Posted December 28, 2015 All right. To clarify, I have never wanted the Bills to lose. I started following when I was 7 or 8 and a promising Bills team missed in the playoffs. Then Kay. Then Hank. Then Marv and that was a blast. Haven't ever really gotten over the Nashville shite. Numblike. But I have been relentlessly positive and hopeful every year. For the last ten years, I have been up from one a.m. to five a.m. Monday morning to watch the games live. I have, without apology, shocked and awed my wife, small children, neighbors and other civilians with anguished shouts in the darkness. I may hate this particular coach enough to want him to lose to Chan Gailey. I won't know until it happens. Obviously if we had a single bloody thing to play for, a ghost of a chance at the playoffs, or even if we weren't coached by this damned buffoon who dismantled the best defense we have had this century, it would be no question. But it is not black and white, kids. I could never root against the Bills. Never. I actually question how a fan could root against their team. It doesn't make sense. You aren't real fans, and that is fact.
Gordio Posted December 28, 2015 Posted December 28, 2015 (edited) Rooting for a division rival? The fanbase has devolved to that? Wow............... i guess bandwagon fans are allowed to do it. if they could have got in the Playoffs without beating the Bills I could get into watching a jets/pats** playoff rematch. That's as far as any Jets rooting I can get behind. Hardly a bandwagon fan, I have had season tickets for 20 years. Have sat thru more meaningless December games at the Ralph in that time than I care to remember. And BTW, being a Bills fan and banadwagon fan don't go together. Edited December 28, 2015 by Gordio
YoloinOhio Posted December 28, 2015 Posted December 28, 2015 Why? I don't understand some Bills fans.
Mr. WEO Posted December 28, 2015 Posted December 28, 2015 I like Fitz. Chan is a clown, so no on him. Fitz makes Chan look good, just like here.
C.Biscuit97 Posted December 28, 2015 Posted December 28, 2015 I like Fitz. Chan is a clown, so no on him. Fitz makes Chan look good, just like here. Haha. You're kidding right? Even Fitz would tell you how good Chan is as an OC. A lot easier to gameplan when you have Marshall and Decker instead of Nelson (great dude) and Jones.
Virgil Posted December 28, 2015 Posted December 28, 2015 I will never root against the Bills. However, I will not be upset if Fitz gets to the playoffs and will support him if they make it. Same with Fred. However, I want what's best for the franchise. If a loss helps them make better offseason decisions, so be it.

Jkgobills Posted December 28, 2015 Posted December 28, 2015 I will be rooting for the Bills. However, IF Fitzy got to the playoffs THEN I would then pull for him and the Jets.
bisonbrigade Posted December 28, 2015 Posted December 28, 2015 I say throw the game and play EJ. Really 7-9 or 8-8 what's the difference.
dave mcbride Posted December 28, 2015 Posted December 28, 2015 I love Fitz and laugh at people who called him a loser here (a millionaire qb from Harvard is a loser haha). But I hate the Jets more but don't want the Bills to lower their draft pick anymore. I'm so conflicted. It'll be a mid round pick either way, and at that point it's a crapshoot as to who the better player is going to be. Always root for the win in that situation, i say.
Miyagi-Do Karate Posted December 28, 2015 Posted December 28, 2015 I won't be rooting for them but I find ir hard to root against them. I never wanted it to work out for any HC and QB combo we have had during the drought quite as much as I did for Chan and Fitz. Classy guys and they deserve their success. My view exactly. I love those guys. Won't be able to root against the bills, but would be glad, in hindsight, if they win and get in.
bisonbrigade Posted December 28, 2015 Posted December 28, 2015 Play EJ and let them in I say. What's the difference. .
Hapless Bills Fan Posted December 28, 2015 Posted December 28, 2015 Why wouldn't you root for your own team? Heck, its the "burn it all down! " knuckleheads on this board who drove Fitz/Gailey out of town in the first place... Strange, I thought it was the owner (Wilson), president (Brandon) and GM (Nix) who did that. I hate to say never, but I can't imagine the circumstances that would cause me to root against my Bills. If we were striving for last place maybe? If they make it into the playoffs, I will root for the Jets against the Pats and etc.
The Poojer Posted December 28, 2015 Posted December 28, 2015 yeah, i don't get it either...I would never root against my team, i was never one of the ones calling for fitz's and chan's heads, but they are nothing to me now, my rooting interest is the team from buffalo. Why wouldn't you root for your own team? Heck, its the "burn it all down! " knuckleheads on this board who drove Fitz/Gailey out of town in the first place... so now you're all warm and fuzzy and want him to succeed? Geez make up your minds
1billsfan Posted December 28, 2015 Posted December 28, 2015 It'll be a mid round pick either way, and at that point it's a crapshoot as to who the better player is going to be. Always root for the win in that situation, i say. I think that the pressure level drops significantly once you are beyond the top 15 picks which is a good thing. The team can feel free to not have to worry about fan outrage if they want to pick the top guard. It just frees up what they'd like to do with the pick. As for the Jets game, the Jets are a hard bunch to really hate that much. Even Brandon Marshall seems like a cool guy. But I'm hoping the Bills crush them in their last game of the season. It would at least feel good to have that 4-2 record in the AFC East going out with an exclamation point ruining the Jets playoffs plans.
Gray Beard Posted December 28, 2015 Posted December 28, 2015 I'm torn. I don't want to see Rex end the season with a smile. I don't want to see Rex smile. I don't want to see Rex. I like Fitz and Gailey. But I want to see TT and company end the season on a positive note. I think my level of "caring" is pretty low. Either way there is a good story line. I will root for the Bills, but I will see the silver lining if things don't go their way.
Pine Barrens Mafia Posted December 28, 2015 Posted December 28, 2015 You really think a few draft slots matter one way or the other? I don't. Bleep Chan, Fitz, and the NYJ.....No conflict for me. See: newton, cam vs. dareus, marcel
