The Real Buffalo Joe Posted August 24, 2018 Posted August 24, 2018 My Sundays in the fall used to be centered around the NFL. I'd wake up, watch the pregame show. Drive to the bar. Watch the Bills. Drive home. Watch whatever late afternoon game I could get on local TV, or RedZone. Watch the Sunday Night game. Then usually watch MNF. Now, I'm just as passionate about The Bills as I've ever been. Go out to the bar, watch every game. New Year's Eve was probably the best day of my year last year. Pumped for this season. But I can count on one hand the number of non Bills games I watched last year. If anything, I'd rather watch a college game if I have no direct rooting interest. I don't give a **** about the anthem protests. While I'm not the biggest fan of the new rule changes, it hasn't turned me off completely to the NFL. I just find myself less enthused to watch NFL football than I used to be. Even my fantasy players I usually just check the stats online. Anybody else feel this way? 8 2
Another Fan Posted August 24, 2018 Posted August 24, 2018 Sort of. It might just be a product of growing up and understanding how the business works. Plus I do think there is over saturation of the product 4
Rad Likes The Bills Posted August 24, 2018 Posted August 24, 2018 NO ITS JUST YOU. I WILL NOT LET YOU TALK ME DOWN. THE BILLS ARE GOING! WE GOT A NEW QB, WHEW! WE GOT A CULTURE. THE BILLS ARE BACK BABY. WE GONNA BE CIRCLING THE WAGONS FOR THE NEXT DECADE. 1
Nanker Posted August 24, 2018 Posted August 24, 2018 Yes. Most definitely. Started when I moved from Western NY. Been falling off ever since. 1

boyst Posted August 24, 2018 Posted August 24, 2018 Yep But, I'm really starting to dig soccer.??♂️ 2
BrotherChazz Posted August 24, 2018 Posted August 24, 2018 I'd say I pay a little less attention to the rest of the league than I used to, but I'm just as passionate about the Bills. Things like Embedded only help too. So excited to see Josh Allen all half on Sunday with the starters! It's a good time to be a fan. New beginnings. 1
sodbuster Posted August 24, 2018 Posted August 24, 2018 Yeah. There are way too many gamedays now. It used to be just Sunday, then Monday night, and it was special. Now there's Thursday night, all day Sunday with three, sometimes four time slots if theres a London game, then Monday night. The NFL is like that girlfriend that is way too emotionally available and you lose interest in her. 3
4_kidd_4 Posted August 24, 2018 Posted August 24, 2018 Bills are the only sportsball team that I follow, and it’s definitely been waning over the last few years. The tailgate and the friends and fam are what keep me going back. The NFL as a whole is “meh”. Between the officiating, the garbage newer rules, and the league becoming more entertainment centered rather than an actual sport, I really don’t care as much as I used to. You get a little older and you get different life perspective. Bills and sports just aren’t as ‘important’ as they used to be. 3 1

Brianmoorman4jesus Posted August 24, 2018 Posted August 24, 2018 Nope. I’ll watch every Thursday night game, every play of the bills, the Sunday ticket mix channel on commercials the bills bye and the off time of their game, the Sunday night and the Monday night every week. Can’t get enough, love it. 3
jethro_tull Posted August 24, 2018 Posted August 24, 2018 about the same- although it has done a gradual decline over the years with more and more obnoxious commercials, stoppages in play and bad rules / calls. still i love the bills and really enjoy a good NFL battle no matter who is playing.... 2 1

BillsFan4 Posted August 24, 2018 Posted August 24, 2018 (edited) I have not lost any interest at all in watching the Bills. But yeah, I don’t watch quite as many other NFL games as I used to. I still watch a good amount of NFL football, though. For me, it’s something that has bene slowly happening for years. It started with all the rule changes. Now it’s to the point that you can’t even celebrate a play when it happens, anymore. You have to wait to see if there was a flag. It’s taken some of the excitement out of the game IMO.

Dablitzkrieg Posted August 24, 2018 Posted August 24, 2018 Not at all. I love it more and more each year!
