I've been a Bills fan and when push comes to shove next September I'm sure I'll be rooting for them again.
But my attitude towards the team became very indifferent recently.
In years past (this decade) I've been "dissapointed" by them. This year, to be honest I am just flat-out "sick" of them.
Ticket buying, Mechandise buying and monetary **** is material. But putting your time and emotion EVERY Sunday into them has been exhausting (at least to me).
I reached a point this season where I said I'm not putting ANYMORE emotion in this team. It wasn't even anything a player did right or wrong.. It was Jauron.. It was the Bills game in Toronto.. Not because we lost, but because we QUIT.
Does anybody remember that game well? Remember when Miami had first and goal from our 9 yard line just after the two minute warning? We had all our time outs. Miami ran for a short gain, and Jauron didn't f'n call a time out.. They ran on second down for little, and we DIDNT call timeout.. Third down, same f'n thing. THREE RUNNING PLAYS, we had all our timeouts and Jauron the pussy let the clock run down to 23 seconds before Miami hit a chip shot FG. We didnt EVEN TRY to get the ball back.
I totally exploded in front of about 15 other family and friends watchign the game at the house.. I swore up and down, whipped my hat at the TV and went on a rampage.
It was at that point I said **** Jauron, **** Wilson and **** this organization. It is amazing at how second rate everything about this franchise is. ITs one thing to not be good enough, its another to pull the wool over die-hard fans eyes with this **** product that starts at the very top and trickles down all the way.
I rooted for the Bills to lose after that.. I was pumped when JP fumbled, due to ANOTHER blunder by Jauron.. I wanted Denver to beat us, and NE.. NOt for a better draft pick, but becuase I was just sick of this staff.
But of course, Wilson keeps Jauron to keep "continuity". Yeah, continuity is great when you consistently underachieve on and off the field.
So do I still like the Bills? Yes. But do I care about them? Lets just say, not nearly as much. .Why should I, or we care when Wilson proves time and time again with his hirings that he doesnt. . When it comes to FO, something that is universally agreed is the most important part of a football team, he's always taken the cheap way out, and Im sick of it.
When you hire Jauron, you get a coach who plays to not get blown out.. When you hire guys like Modrak, Guy, Levy, etc to run your front offices, you'll get Whitner's and McCargo's and Poz's and Hardy's instead of impact guys. You'll have to overpay for average talent like Dockery and Kelsay because nobody wants to come here at market value.
The last two weeks of the season and especially the playoffs this weekend I just watched some good football as a football fan.. And in pretty much EVERY OTHER GAME I watched (except for my pursuit of watching Detroit go 0-16) I saw football teams that from top to bottom are so much better than us.
I dont WANT the Bills to leave, but if this is the **** Wilson is going to keep giving us before he croaks, Im emotionally detaching myself from them so that when they do eventually leave I'll be a lot less angry, and I'll already be used to just getting back to being a fan of good football in general.
