I can NOT believe I am saying this on a Bills game day.

[Mad Bomber]

I have been a Bills fan since the early 1960s. My first live Bills game was in 1964 when we beat the Houston Oilers at the Rockpile.

Jan Reimers, the Historian, and several other long time Bills fans have suffered through, and endured, many, many, many, many BAD years of BAD Bils fiootball.

Today, I actually had a sort of catharsis. I missed the beginning of a Bills game to go out to lunch with my wife, son, and his girlfriend. It was nice. I came home and turned on the game, and saw a Tenn TD. I did some work outside, came inside, and looked at the game....another Tenn TD.

I am a hard core Bills fan, and have seen the best and worst (more worst than best) that this team has to offer, but at 54 years old, have finally become NUMB to this team. I never thought that I would actually say that, since I have LIVED and DIED by this team since I was 6 years old.

I still hate the Bills haters that post on this board...the wet behind the years 20 year olds who don't have a CLUE about the Bills history and have no emotional investment in this team.

I have invested a lot of emotional energy in this team, and frankly, to quote Danny Glover from the "Lethal Weapon" series.....

My first game was Bills Jets in the rockpile in the late 60's.

I've had enough.

Sounds like Ralph Wilson got the best of you.

40 years for me...I took the dogs for a walk when it was still tied at 17.

Re: I can NOT believe I am saying this on a Bills game day.

I fell asleep in the third quarter. Watching this team is like watching a movie you know the end to. You know they are going to blow it. The only suprise is the new way of blowing it they seem to come up with each week.

Re: I can NOT believe I am saying this on a Bills game day.

This is easily the worst bills football team i've seen since 85 (and my memory of that team might be colored but i seem to think this team is worse). I liked the AVP/Johnson/whathisname QBed 3-13 mess at the start of the decade more then this one. at least that team tried to play football. and gave 100% on every down.

Even the bad teams of the late 60's and mid 70's looked like they care and that they were trying.

There's more important things in life besides football.

Re: I can NOT believe I am saying this on a Bills game day.

The difference is this team has some individual talent on it....sort of like 1971.

The mid-80s teams were lovable losers. At least then it was a cyclical valley.

Now, the hopelessness is endless.

Fan since 1989 at the ripe old age of 7, and I've seen ENOUGH. I can only imagine watching this team for that long and having them be this bad.

Re: I can NOT believe I am saying this on a Bills game day.

Notice how I stopped writing my post game comments this season? During the opener against the Patriots i was thinking about my article the whole time. Then we choked and I went numb. I didn't even get mad, but I just couldn't spend any more time or energy on this team.

Since that day, I've still watched every single play. But I no longer get excited when something good happens because I know we'll blow it. I no longer get mad when something bad happens because I expect it.

This team has sapped all the fun out of watching football. Unfortunately, I have yet to take the next step where I can stop caring enough to not watch the games. Directv better hope the Bills do something drastic this off-season, otherwise I won't be renewing Sunday Ticket.

I hear ya, Tom. Since 1969 they have had all kinds of talented players, and the end result is always the same old same old. All I can do in my old age is laugh. I refuse to let them get the best of me, like they do to themselves.

Re: I can NOT believe I am saying this on a Bills game day.

i have to say. it's funny to watch the bills. me and my friends can call a play and the bills' defense has no clue. ie: when vince young ran up the middle one play. we don't even yell at the tv anymore. we just laugh at how pathetic it is. it looks like a bunch of high school football players out there. poz sucks.

Re: I can NOT believe I am saying this on a Bills game day.

I hear you, Mad.

I'm just a few years younger and started going to the games in the mid 60's. I remember 1968,1971 and the mid 1980's.

I came home from church with the family and started raking leaves. I missed the first few plays but did a rewind on the DVR.

Now I may just record all the games and fast forward thru them, just to not waste my day.

When Ralph and the brain trust (snicker) at OBD start giving a damn, so will I. That's why I pitched my tickets last year.
