They can't face reality in these ways. Discussing football as an activity is a little different than allowing it to ruin one's life. LOL
Anyone notice how light the MBs are this season on Bills' boards? There's a reason for that. Most people don't let it ruin their lives, marriages, days, weeks, etc. They just don't waste their time watching.
I mean come on now, let's be real, who truly enjoys watching us get our butts handed to us in the fundamentals every week, win or lose, whether live at the game or on TV, HiDef or not? If that's all it's going to be I'd just rather get some work done.
The Bills are a highly unenjoyable team these days. I'll say it now, that if they regress, interest will be at all-time lows next season.
Frankly I think it's tremendously sad. Sad that Wilson's allowed such a great fan base to end up being terminally disappointed to the extent to which the fans have thrown their hands up into the air and said "screw it!"
I agree with LOG. If you want to be a fan and watch, fine, do. I'm a tremendous fan, but I have better things to do than to watch the obvious results of ineptitude, self-imposed ignorance, negligence, and flat out sophmoristry turn out team into something that is utterly unappealing to the visual senses and reason.
Ergo, just as with so many other fans thinking similarly, I probably won't watch nearly all the games for the first time in who knows how many years. I quit reviewing tapes midway through last season to break those down. IMO fan sites have value in terms of fans sending messages to the organization. But our organization is too dumb to know how to produce even an average team let alone a winning one, and too proud to take any advice, either from the fans or from far more successful people that have graced the NFL, both by-the-way harboring equal views on what it takes to build a winner.
Very few people let it ruin their lives. The ones that it does I've noticed are the same ones that most adamantly and arduously insist that the team is on the right track, that we for some unexplained reason "owe those that manage the team" more time to continue to screw things up, and those with such ridiculous expectations on how well our team will do that it's laughable, truly laughable, amusing, and entertaining.
Everyone here knows who they are. Watch, it'll happen again this season.
As for me, and undoubtedly many others, our expectations are so low that there's no need to even make qualifying statements as to "don't worry, be happy." We know what's coming, and we have planned for it.
As to 2070 the team moving, LOL, after this season the talk of it moving will accelerate infinitely due to further lack of attendance late in the season. That's what Wilson and his merry band of cronies will have earned for all of their "hard work."
As for me, I fully plan on enjoying my football season watching the WVU Mountaineers. If I'm going to shell out time and cash for football, it's not going to be for what Wilson and his Bills are trying to spoon feed us.
If Wilson wants the fans interests, then he owes us his best. If this is his best, then the man's either dense or simply too old to function well in his role as owner or a combination of both.
I'm a fan of this team, not a team subsidy! If Wilson wants my interest, both financial as well at time, then he's going to have to do quite a bit better than the swill that's he's dished up over the years outside of Polian's involvement. Clearly I'm not in a minority there as many fans in the region have thrown their hands into the air and said the same things.
These people, from Wilson down to GM (Levy) to Head Coach (Jauron) to all the Asst. Coaches, to all the players all get paid very handsomely, to the tune that if they manage their money well, that after half a decade if they never want to work again it should be fully possible.
They owe us, we owe them nothing. We especially owe them nothing if they continue to provide what they have, frustrating Sunday afternoons with long drives back to our homes whereever they may be, and drives full of regrets of wasted time and money.
Taking the Bills too seriously? Hardly. But if they're not serious about putting a winner on the field, as LOG says, ...
...Why would I worry about something I can't control?
Why would I pay for something that I don't even want!
