I've been a Bills for 30 years through all the good and bad times and I have people who don't like the Bills always coming up and trashing the team and they expect me to always explain why they're not good or they'll never win a Super Bowl. I tell them the truth and not make excuses and they still come to me with the same tired smack talk. Sadly, some people are dense like that, LOL! :-) And some of them are people I barely know and they still come and that's the only thing they can say. I can be quite annoying at times and I know they just to do it for fun. Whatever!

Re: Mini-vent time about Bills haters.
Looks like more of an attack on some posters if you ask me.
I don't see anything at all Bills related in there.
So I'll take the time to vent similarly. At what point did Bills fans get to a point where simply hoping to get to .500 should be something to be considered a landmark development?
At what point did Bills fans get to a point where beating up on the bottom worst teams in the league without being able to do the same against top half teams in the league became some kind of relevant achievement?
At what point did Bills fans get to a point where we are now they consider that a launching point for calling every skeptic, fan or not, some kind of name and slamming them, fellow Bills fans, especially when we've been in this situation before with nothing changing after it?
What does it say about people like that that would take such a position, besides the fact that somewhere along the way they lost all sense of what greatness really is?
Since you seem to have missed it this season, many of the posters here that insisted that we were a 10-6, 11-5, or even a 9-7 team now seem to be satisfied if we get to 8-8 and some even to 7-9 to be able to brag about progress.
I feel very very sorry for fans like that.
Start there instead of slandering your fellow Bills fan posters.

As far as the rest of the posters Bills fans , I can't speak for them and they have every right to be opimistic and they're no different than any other of the 31 teams in this league, whether they are good or bad, they stick with their teams.Last edited by blackonyx89; 11-29-2014, 01:50 PM.Let's Go Bills, make it happen!!!Comment

Re: Mini-vent time about Bills haters.
And just off hand, what's your quick thought here, do Bills fans generally speaking have more reason to be critical or to be joyous?Originally posted by blackonyx89 View Post
In other words, do you expect conversations about the overall performance of this team to lean more favorably or more unfavorably generally speaking?
Careful how you answer those given our remaining schedule..http://www.billszone.com/fanzone/sho...s-haters/page3

GotchaOriginally posted by blackonyx89 View Post
You might wanna make that more clear in the future, there are a number of posters here that seem to enjoy trashing people personally that don't **** streamers and confetti when they talk about the Bills.
As fans to non-fans, unfortunately we seem to have to accept our lot. Not much we can do about it except piss and moan until the team actually legitimately improves, wouldn't you agree?
Let's hope that Pegula makes the tough decisions promptly in the meantime.Last edited by Fletch; 11-29-2014, 02:29 PM.http://www.billszone.com/fanzone/sho...s-haters/page3

As I was saying, some fans appear to be perfectly and perpetually satisfied with mediocrity. The rest are trolls.
It's easy to understand their position given all the times we've been to the playoffs and how many times we've won there over the last decade .... or two.Last edited by Fletch; 11-29-2014, 03:01 PM.http://www.billszone.com/fanzone/sho...s-haters/page3

Re: Mini-vent time about Bills haters.
Groan. If you've been a Bills fan for as long as you've said, then you are either dense or stupid. We've been living on the promise of "it will take a couple more years and key acquisitions." We're sick of the Russ Brandon promises. It's ****. They are lies. Go crawl back under the lowly rock you crawled out from under.Originally posted by blackonyx89 View Post

Re: Mini-vent time about Bills haters.
I've been out of the Buffalo area since 2001 (specifically, DC and Baltimore).
I haven't really met any Bills haters. No one hates bad teams.
When I tell people I'm a Bills fan, I usually get a sympathetic "Oh," like when you tell someone your grandma died 20 years ago. Even when I meet Jets or Dolphins fans, they just say, "dude I just hope you guys beat the Patriots." And while Boston fans are usually douchebags, 2 games a year against the Bills has gone a LONG way toward all their recent success and record breaking. They love us because we're they're whipping boys.
So, I don't know where you are finding these Bills haters.Comment
