JMF2006 Posted January 15, 2018 Posted January 15, 2018 I did the same after 14 years I couldn`t take another year of Wrex and gave them up in 2016. Wrex got canned and I am back. Trust me OP you need to come back. McD is going to fix this mess.

I swear, some of y'all act like you have the mind of a child prostitute being beaten by his or her pimp. I'd say it was good for OP's health to not have witnessed those other teams, in person.

Maybe I was a bit to melancholy, but who is a real fan and doesn't have too many tailgators shirts....in their drawer. maybe McD will bring back the days when we can stroll along Jim Kelly Blvd with our chins up.

Bills games gave me some of the best memories in my life....fans, friends, passion, beer, cheer, emotion, and today as I opened the cupboard they all came flooding back. thanks for realizing that. maybe next year I will end my self imposed exile... 1

4_kidd_4 Posted January 16, 2018 Posted January 16, 2018 Hey I hear ya Niagara. I’m walkin after 15 years. Yeah I know, I know, they broke the drought and all, but what better year to walk? Snow game was legendary, we back doored into the playoffs, fun season! And to wrap it up, I hit 100 home games in a row vs. Miami. Haven’t missed a home game since 11/2004. But now, as we put The Drought to rest, I must pass the torch. It was a fun run. I will still be there for a lot of games. Just don’t have all 8 per season in the gas tank anymore.
Royale with Cheese Posted January 16, 2018 Posted January 16, 2018 I gave up vodka 8 years ago. Now I drink more whiskey and dark rum.

Idiotic posts like this need to be removed from forums, This is a great attempt to troll at a topic. I bet you NEVER had season tickets and the financial burdens it could add. Its a tough decision of Enjoyment over worthy of spending money on the product on the field. To call a person "not a real fan" cause he stopped spending money on season tickets do to a bad product is outrageous. Get a life. 3

His years of dedication to the team, and probably tens of thousands of dollars spent, certainly justify his opinions, but in reality, even that is not needed. Why criticize and/or try to psychoanalyze? Some of y'all are just sad, really sad. I’m not sure if that last statement was meant toward my reply, but if so - it wasn’t intended to psychoanalyze the OP, but instead pay homage to how profound our connection to football runs...and how football becomes a network of various forms of relationships, and to essentially offer a sympathetic ear. If that’s too much for you, that’s on you - and if it wasn’t directed toward my reply - then you need not to have even read this far. Cheers to 2018 and whole new Offense!!

I found out this last season that you can just stroll down memory lane in the parking lot - come for the tailgate - beat the traffic out. Catch the game at some bar without the $11 beers and drunken crowd. 1

I thought it was a cool walk down memory lane. Clearly, game day meant a lot to you for a long time. I won't tell anyone how to spend their money and by no means am I questioning your fandom. Bills games used to bring you a lot of happiness and I hope they can again one day in the near future. Cheers. 1

Call_Of_Ktulu Posted January 16, 2018 Posted January 16, 2018 Just needed some time to step away for a little bit and recharge your batteries. I would wait until Taylor is officially off this team to make a come back with season tickets and tailgating.
stuvian Posted January 16, 2018 Posted January 16, 2018 there has been nothing easy about hanging on as a season ticket holder. I don't blame anyone who bailed. Still in after 14 years with three other guys at work. Going it alone would be too big a hit. This is the first time in 14 years I've felt legitimate hope

iinii Posted January 16, 2018 Posted January 16, 2018 You didn't find my Dareus Jags' Jersey in there did you?
Call_Of_Ktulu Posted January 16, 2018 Posted January 16, 2018 One of my favorite jerseys is my Bryce Paup jersey. I haven't worn it in 17 years, I will only wear it if we win a playoff game.
