    How is your fandom?

    I don't know about anyone else, but mine is on a very thin thread.

    This is beyond annoying. This is down right embarrassing.

    The only team to not be above .500 in the past five years...
    The only team to not make the playoffs in this millennium...
    The only team that has more die hard fans than anyone else...

    Yet the football gods, or whom ever, feels like they need to **** us a over year in and year out.

    My fandom is very close to being severed.
    When I die, please don't let my wife sell my camera equipment for what I told her I paid for it.

    I'm thankful that ski season overlaps football season.

      Mines fine. We put something like 10 starters on IR. Seems to happen every year. And it's a major reason why I want much better backups (vets).

      I think Fitz + Freddy + Stevie + Wood = a potent offense. Add a guy like Blackmon or Floyd to that and we could be very good on O.

      On D we need corners and a stud LB plus a pass rusher.

        The only reason I still watch the team is because I'm a fan.

        It hasn't been fun since around 2004.

          Very strong, I knew we would get this crap when we hired Gailey. He'll be gone in a year if not sooner and we can start to really build a team with a good staff.

              The lowest it's ever been. I don't see any hope until Ralph is out of the picture one way or another. I'm all for firing the coaching staff but then what? A repeat of none of the top candidates wanting an interview here?

                I'm far from ready to cash in my fan card. It's just very frustrating and seems asinine to cheer for futility year in and year out.

                    Anyone can give up on the town they grew up but nobody doesn't love the town they grew up, I hope all of you that decide the Bills aren't worth trouble choke on stale fish.

                    I've watched some of the worst football come out during my life & some to the best, there is a dog for every day. I also believe that there is more money that supports the team past Ralph's stranglehold on the team, that'll pop up when the time is right.

                      Not great I expect them to lose and I no longer get that upset when they lose because of how frequently it happens. They just fit the narrative when they play like they did today. The Bills have become like a Purdue or Vanderbilt...every once in a while you'll knock off a Wisconsin or Georgia....but you always expect to suck overall.

                          They are the eternal test of one's devotion. I can't quit them... I don't even see it as an option. But I do remember a thread from about this time last year that talked about it getting easier to accept the losses. Unfortunately, I see that happening to me.

                          I had my 75 year old dad down this weekend. He has followed them since the inaugural season and had season tickets for about 35 of their first 40 years. This guy is still into them... I figure if the interest is still there with him, how can't it be with me, someone who can't remember life when he wasn't a Bills fan?

                          I console myself by saying it'll be that much sweeter when we finally win one... whenever that may be.

                            I will never give up on the Bills. I don't really watch any other sports other than NFL football, and other than the Bills I don't pay particular attention to any other team. I'm a bad Sabres fan, in that I only usually watch the playoffs.

                            The first month and a half of this season was the most fun and exciting time for being a Bills fan since the Super Bowl teams and it was fun to Billieve again. The last two months have been deflating and disappointing being a fan, however it doesn't ruin my Sunday when they lose anymore, like it did in the 90s. Maybe it's just me growing up and priorities changing.
                            Remember Kevin Everett in your thoughts.
