I keep hearing people who are sick of Drew, saying that they are not going to renew their season tickets if he is still here next year. Part of me agrees with this move, but with a team like Buffalo in a city with such a small market, you aren't helping your team out at all. We need all the season ticket holders we can get. I am even putting money aside to get a pair next year and I hope many other current holders keep them. If not, then you guys are the ones to blame for the team leaving. Don't say I didn't tell you so, because I did. I know you are sick of paying for this **** product on the field, but if Ralph has his mind made up with Bledsoe, don't piss him off by not renewing. You could definitely be hurting the team in the long run.

I don't get the fans who say "well the Bills don't care, they're making money, yadda, yadda, yadda."

Ralph cares! TD cares! Don't tell me they don't want to win!!! Don't tell me that filling the seats is more important than winning!!!!

They really don't seem to want to win bad enough to do anything about it.

No, they realize that the season is over already and TD is going for a top 5 draft pick now. If he changes the coach, that could possibly change and screw up our draft position. :snicker:

Since I have not seen a good draft pick yet I would like to see a few wins if possible.

just because they want to win doesnt mean they know how to go about doing it.. td has never won and neither has ralph.. a combined ZERO superbowl wins.. so what the hell difference does it make if they WANT to win.. they have to do the right things to win.. and keeping drew is not going to get the bills a ring.. they need the money to win.. if they see that fans do not approve of their bad decisions, maybe they will rethink them... that is the ONLY power fans have over their team.

td is going for a top 5 draft pick? your high man.. if you cant see how ridiculous that post is in itself, then there is no hope for you... and if td is playing to lose this year.. then i hope he gets run over by the oppositions bus outside the stadium.

It isnt Bledsoe folks......its .....

1. the Offensive coach for crappy gameplans and lack of adjusting.

2. the offensive line being WAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYY overrated.

3. Greg Williams needs to be a better motivator....something he cant do.

Hey- I'm actually going to upgrade my seats next season- this team is dismal because it's an awful coach and scheme- of which neither will be here next season.

I'm hoping a bunch of folks decide to vote with their feet and give me a great shot at some nice seats next season- Imagine Tom Coughlin or another excellent coach, with a PB QB. WR, RB, Mcgahee, and a top 5 defense will do? I'll be there in someone else's great seats. :up:

If i still lived arounf Buffalo I would have season tickets for sure. Like I said before go ahead and boycott and do whatever but if the Bills leave town don't feel bad because you had an impact for that happening!:earpoke: :skeptic:

Im getting season tickets for sure next year. I would have last year but my friend and I were going to get seats next to eachother, and he had to back out. So all of you getting rid of your season tickets , thank you, i can get better seats. Its gonna come up and bite you in the ass after next year when this team wins alot of football games and you bandwagones wish you woulda kept them. You can ***** and moan about how terrible this team is and they dont care about winning and yada yada yada but the truth is they do care. They wouldnt have signed Spikes and Adams and everyone else. Its really disgraceful to hear a Bills fan say that Wilson and Donahoe dont care, because there are some owners that give a crap about their teams but Wilson is definetly not one of them

I sat through a 6-10 seaosn and a 3-13 season...without wearing bag over my head. People who want to bail out on the team...go for it. Diehard fans will still be at the games if they can be.

Guys, this year has been a very big disappointment. However, do NOT be a fool. With good coaching this team will be in the playoff next year. (Should have been there this year). Do not give up your tickets. Buffalo is a good team. Kelly and company were exciting to watch...only team to go to 4 straight superbowls...May have been the greatest team in the NFL, if the NFL had not started free agency...( I know we did not win the superbowl)...anywhere this is our team....Bills country

I lived through the 70s...we used to go outside and play football at halftime of those pitiful games-for the rest of the afternoon-we knew those games were done...nobody has an excuse for not watching and supporting this team. it is miles above those teams from 70-72 and 76-79.

11-19-2003, 08:59 AM
The teams of the 70 we did not expect to win. Preseason we were reading college football mags to see who we were going to draft next year.....If those teams got a .500 record we would be happy. This team we expected to at least make the playoffs. Now, I do not even believe we will get a .500 record. That's what makes this season such a disappointment.

True True True. TD himself told the season ticket holders before this season started that if the team didn't do great it was a TOTAL failure.

In the old days when we did bad we knew we were going to. With the players we have we have NO excuse this time.

This is an intelligent post. Admit to the world that the season is over, play for the draft spot. Piss off the fans by not taking any action.
Keep paying for the right to watch crap. Great reasoning.

No, but in a way I do. I don't get all the Season ticket holder benefits, and don't pay all at once, but I have gone to all (preseason too) the games for the past two years, because one of my friends owns 12 seasons and I buy two from him. How many games have you gone to? :rolleyes:

I am now saving up money so I can get some nice sideline seats next year. :D

How many games have I gone to? More than you, son. I've been a season ticket holder since 1981! I also make about 3 road games per season. Now, you were saying?

Just for the record, Lancaster is 5 1/2 hours away from Buffalo. . ., so he's closer.

Yeah, but I'm not. I live in MD and I make it to all the home games. There's some other guy here who lives in VA I think and he makes it to every home game as well. Makes a 12 hour trip for each game! Now that's a fan!!

When you order, you'd just work with them by telling them where you want to sit and they'd get you as close as they can.

Dozer has the right idea. We sat in the same section since the Knox era. After the 2-14 years, we upgraded to nice second row seats, just before they signed a guy named...um....Kelly.
