Then, at the final home game last season, I took a look around the stadium and saw tons of empty seats and gobs of Miami fans. We couldn't even show up in the middle of a playoff push. I was at every home game- we sold alot of tickets. I will dig up sales and attendance if I can find it. https://www.pro-football-reference.com/years/2017/attendance.htm away games are in italics-this is attendance and not overall ticket sales https://www.statista.com/statistics/250065/average-home-attendance-of-the-buffalo-bills/ Pretty good average attendance thru the years for a team thats been lousy! I would say that shows support. Of course, some of the attendance is from the opposition fans but thats every stadium. Edited September 17, 2018 by billsfan_34

nedboy7 Posted September 17, 2018 Posted September 17, 2018 Calm down. Everyone know this team is on the right tract. This is how you build a winner. By first building a clown show. 2 hours ago, Bills Fan in Beantown said: If you consider the product the team has been putting on the field over the last two decades, its amazing so many of us even bother at all. I have to live in Pats country. I guarantee Foxboro would be mostly empty, just like it was in the 80s into the 90s, if they had a stretch like we've had. Amazing they have been so good without a rebuild. Idiots.

The stadium yesterday was looking pretty empty after halftime. I don’t consider selling out the stadium on Sundays to be a determining factor when considering the loyalty of a fan base. A cities economy has a lot to say about selling out. Business contributing on a larger scale. Lots of Bills fan have also moved away from the city for economic reasons. I don’t see how someone could love the Bills more than I do....yet I’ve been to 10 home games in the last 20 years. I usually attend 1-3 away games a year. Each city I visit, the locals are always shocked at how many Bills fans there are and how we’re taking over their city. We represent better than most on the road.

The league only asks teams to report tickets. Either way, that shows that AT LEAST 10% of seats were empty. Besides, why shouldn't Max laugh? You're telling me that if this was happening to the Jets we wouldn't be sharing memes about it?

Max Kellerman just took a big giant steamer on the Bills and Bills fans. He is laughing at the situation. He needs to get socked in the jaw. The Bills fans are the most loyal in sports. He's a pompous jerk. Hardly most loyal fans in sports.

It's amazing when someone who is barely literate tries to tell a fan base that has endured two decades of ineptitude that they're not more loyal than other bases who are ten times the size and disappear when their team starts losing.

I think it was actual attendance, not sales.

Davis had a slack reputation going back to his time with Miami and Joe Philbin. The only thing that happened yesterday is Davis proving Philbin right. This is very true. He was a huge baby in Miami, constantly needed coddling. He’s not mentally or physically tough, relied on his talent and that’s what got him this far. Good riddance and I hope Frazier gets his act together or follows him out.

Are you suggesting the team's defensive play in the second half is directly linked to, or was caused by, Davis' quitting at halftime? You aren't suggesting that...are you?
