JMF2006 Posted October 19, 2017 Posted October 19, 2017 Re Hire Wrex Thankfully that will never happen. Other than that........death
BringBackFergy Posted October 19, 2017 Posted October 19, 2017 Seriously, you listed Kaepernick? Geezus, this obsession people have for crapping on a kid who has given more to his community, kids, and people than everyone on this board combined is getting out of hand. As to the original question...nothing. My fan hood doesn't come with contingencies, I love this team for better or worse. Im not from Buffalo, so I would get it though if they moved and other people were hurt by that and lost interest themselves. The only reason that wouldn't affect me is that I am not from B-Lo so my love for the team isn't tied to the city itself. So if they moved to Columbus and became known as the Columbus Imperialists but still had the same players, coaches, etc. you would still be a fan?? Not even the same team name. You cra-cra.
TigerJ Posted October 19, 2017 Posted October 19, 2017 When I die and go to heaven, football in general will probably be a lot lower in my list of priorities.
The Wiz Posted October 19, 2017 Posted October 19, 2017 I honestly don't know if I could quit the team. Been a staple in my family since they existed. Every Sunday spent at my grandparents house since I was probably born listening to my grandfather complain about everything under the sun that was wrong with the team. He also did this during the Superbowl era mind you. I'd probably not quit then but would be less involved with what's happening.
Buffalo Barbarian Posted October 19, 2017 Posted October 19, 2017 I know where this thread could go so be polite. If someone says something you disagree with and you feel so steadfast to make this another Kaepernick/political thread, I'll shut this stojan down. Let them say their peace because it's their opinion not yours. So what would it take? What would it take for you to honestly and wholy quit the Bills? Relocation? Kaepernick? Signing a certain other player? Another trade? Moving uptown and limiting tailgating? I think relocation is the only thing that would have made me quit this team out right? Moving to Toronto, Las Vegas, Grand Rapids, Michigan... Anything outside of Western New York. Moving out of state
billsfan60 Posted October 19, 2017 Posted October 19, 2017 The Bills moving out of Buffalo. That would have done it. Immediately. None of this "I grew up in Brooklyn in the 50's so I still support the Dodgers" crap you hear from the occasional old timer. Other than that, or perhaps just losing interest in football someday, nothing will make me give up on Bills fandom. Come on, if we haven't already, what do you think would do it now? When the Dodgers moved my old man and I wore black armbands for the whole first season they were in LA. We mourned the loss and he never watched or listened to another game (to the best of my knowledge). He passed soon after that first season and wasn't around to disown me for becoming a Yankee fan. Same with the Bills. Would morn the loss.
KD in CA Posted October 19, 2017 Posted October 19, 2017 It will never be a quit, just a continuous slow fade.
Augie Posted October 19, 2017 Posted October 19, 2017 Moving out of state You mean...like....New York? Like the Jets and the Giants?
ExWNYer Posted October 19, 2017 Posted October 19, 2017 Like most of the other responses in this thread, it would take the Bills relocating for me to quit them. At that point, they AND the NFL would be dead to me. I'd finally be done with fantasy football, as well, and free to concentrate exclusively on college ball and my Alabama Crimson Tide.
billsfan60 Posted October 19, 2017 Posted October 19, 2017 I think another 17 years sans playoffs would do it. Of course, I'll be on social security by then, and would likely care more about where my next can of cat food is coming from. Jeez, I sure hope you planned a little better than that for your golden years.
Buffalo Barbarian Posted October 19, 2017 Posted October 19, 2017 You mean...like....New York? Like the Jets and the Giants? Yep the the Erie pa bills, no thanks. It's different for NYC, New Jersey is basically a suburb of NY, kind of like Orchard Park
Dorkington Posted October 19, 2017 Posted October 19, 2017 I was close when Ryan stumped for Trump, but one guy doesn't represent the team. It'd have to be something extreme, like adopting the Nazi flag for the team symbol or something. No amount of ****ty play on the field will turn me away, and probably neither would relocation, since I'm not in Buffalo anyways.

Red black and white would be cool colors though, worked for the Sabres
Talley56 Posted October 19, 2017 Posted October 19, 2017 Gonna have to go with the majority and say only relocation. If I make it through another 60 years of life and they never again make the playoffs in my lifetime, I'll be frustrated, but I will still be a fan.
Mad Mike Posted October 19, 2017 Posted October 19, 2017 If it hasn't happened already, it ain't happenin.
Marv's Neighbor Posted October 19, 2017 Posted October 19, 2017 I'm kinda there now. It's not just the Bills, but the whole NFL. They can all kneel without me, and I've been a fan since they started in '60.
