Hello? Hello? Yeah, you, out there in that vast, despairing wilderness of Buffalo Bills fans. Is there anyone out there with a shred of hope remaining, anyone who is actually going to watch today’s game against the Jets? It’s getting ugly, I can tell you that. If you’re standing in front of the closet, staring at your Jim Kelly jersey and wondering if you should go Christmas shopping instead, you’re not alone.
Trust me, a lot of people are ready to walk away for good. I know Buffalo sports fans are a volatile lot. They swear off their teams more often than a chain smoker gives up cigarettes. In the end, they keep coming back. But this time, I’m not so sure.
From what I can gather, a lot of fans aren’t even going to watch today’s game. They can’t take any more. They can’t bear to see Dick Jauron’s vacant shroud of a face one more time on the sidelines. They can’t imagine watching another pass on first-and- goal from the 3.
