...how do you explain the notably lower levels of participation on Bills MBs this preseason than in past preseasons?
I'm not trying to get anyone's panties in a wad or anything, but what I'm trying to do is reconcile the notions that the team now has as much support as ever based on ill-defined stated season ticket sales, really speculation at this point, and other soft indicators prior to the season starting.
In past years the activity has been much higher than it is now. One would think that if interest has remained the same, much less increased, that both the local radio shows as well as fan MBs would have much more activity, but it's clear that it has waned for both, both in terms of fan expectations as well as fan enthusiasm.
My position is that the organization is losing its fans from an interest perspective, yet I've been shot down, w/o any evidence of course, by some here.
So how do those people, and you know who you are, reconcile the lesser levels of "excitement" around the WNY region for the Bills this season in countering my suggestions based on my own observations as well as those of others in that way?
BTW, how was camp attended this year? I didn't go to one and tonight's the last one I think, so I have no idea. Which also brings up another point, they've typically made the last day of camp far more eventful with some hoopla as well. That's why I'm thinking that it wasn't that well attended this year relatively speaking. Again, don't know however as I wasn't there.
