I'm not talking about winning meaningless games or losing for draft picks or anything like that. This has nothing to do with that. The final score meant nothing to me today. The way the team played did. It ALWAYS does.
I'm talking about having a little pride in being a professional athlete. Representing your team, your coaches, your teammates, your city, and the NFL in the best way possible every time you suit up.
This team doesn't have much talent. We know that. I don't expect them to win every game, and at this time I usually expect them to lose. But win or lose, no matter how it affects their draft status or contract incentives, or anything else, I damn well DO expect them to play with some pride and heart and represent themselves and our city and us fans with class and character.
I don't care who's playing for the Bills. I expect this at the very minimum. And so should all of you.
Losing the way they did today - to a bunch of backups with nothing to play for - and running for the bus the way they did is utterly embarrassing as a fan and a microcosm of what THE MAIN problem has been with this organization for the past decade.......A LOSING CULTURE.
Until THAT changes, it doesn't matter if they pick 1st, 2nd, 15th, or 32nd. It doesn't matter if they draft Andrew Luck or the backup QB from West Seneca HS, they will continue to be a laughing stock of the league and we will continue to see no football past the first weekend in January.
I actually think Chan had these guys headed in that direction considering how they've played the last 8 weeks. That's why it's been encouraging, at least.
But today was just the similar kind of classless suckfest I've seen from this organization for most of the last 10 years. And it SUCKED. It's EMBARRASSING. Get some damn players in here who give a **** about how they represent this team and this city and these fans!!
