I'm done

After cheering and betting on them and seasons tickets for various decades since 1973, I've had enough.

 

Football is losing me anyways, and I have trouble justifying what it is doing to the kids and men on the field.

 

This latest fiasco with the Bills has been a dagger for me.

 I assume you're talking about the Dareus trade?

I enjoyed the 5-2 start. I enjoyed the wins. The last three games were about as bad as you can get so I understand feeling down on the Bills. It would be easy to just start following the Patriots and feel like winners. 

 

I can't leave my team. They like a kid you have that isn't perfect but you love them anyway. Still bail them out of jail even while saying how stupid they are. 

 

Am I wrong thinking if this team had a losing season everybody would be more relaxed touting the moniker "rebuild"? That the real reason for the hurt is missing the playoffs because we in a drought and that's all that matters? 

 

The new regime is getting dumped to early in my view.

I have to admit I've felt this way a few times myself over the years.


But personal history tells me that every time I say "I'm done," I'm wrong.  

 

I was tempted to say those horrible, liberating words - "I'm done" - during the 4th quarter of the past two games.  In both contests, I turned off the set before the final seconds ticked off.   But I knew I'd be back for more, however irrational that may be.

If you didn't jump off a cliff during the late sixties or during the Stephenson/Bullough years, you know damn well you aren't quitting now. 

This is a great post - you talk about football hell in 1968; losing six QB's to injury, lousy coaching, and sitting in the Rockpile. Or in 1971, 1976, 1977, 1984, 1985. Yet I am more sold on this "process" than at anytime in Bills history, finally someone is attempting to change organizational culture! Now we need to work on fan culture...

I used to find these types of postings kind of funny, but on some level, I do understand this sentiment.  It would be easier to root for a different team that wins on a regular basis and has a functioning overall football operation.  I had hoped that when Pegula bought the team, he would retain a football czar for a fresh start.  It did not happen, and we are continuing to pay for it.  I have no idea how things will work out with McDermott and Beane.  We will need to give it time, but it is discouraging to have lost so much young talent  in such a short period of time through trades, cuts and free agency losses.  It has put us further away from having a competitive football team.  Football teams can turn it around quickly in the NFL, and we have to hope we will draft well and pick up a bunch of free agents in the offseason.  I have no hopes for the remainder of this season and our playoff drought is ridiculous.  It has to get better as some point, and we if we can hold on to our draft picks in the next draft, that would help with so many holes to fill.
