It's not dark yet...but it's gettin' there!

This is my first fanpost so excuse me if I somehow miss something schematically here.  I will just preface this by saying that I'm not from Buffalo, have never been to Buffalo, and have no family or close friends from there.  I've just been a fan since the Superbowl days.  I've loved this team ever since then, mostly to my own chagrin. 

In Jauron's tenure here it seemed like we made pretty steady progress over the first two years considering the mess he inherited and the bum of a "franchise" QB.  It seemed last year was when that progress was brought to a screeching halt, and the front office's answer for our offensive woes was to keep the same OC in place.  Now we've since fired him and we seem to be flying by the seat of our pants week to week. 

Almost every week I call into Sirius NFL radio (Pete in MO) and all I hear is how Jauron is such a great human being, but they never seem to have much to expound upon in regards to the quality, or lack thereof, of his coaching.  They always say how hard his players play for him, but after seeing this week's paltry effort, they look very listless and play without a sense of urgency (except a choice few). 

Being a die-hard Bills fan is starting to feel a lot more like it must feel to be a diehard Cubs fan.  It's reaching that level of futility it would seem.  How many more rebuilding years does Ralph have left in him??  Oh boy, I can't wait until some other coach comes in here and cleans house and brings in our 20th OC in the last 10 years it would seem.  I don't look forward to that seemingly inevitable day when we're spoon-fed a bunch more false hope with some Jauron-esque cheap-O head coach.

I'm tired of hearing from my gf, whom I've converted into another diehard, "Why did you do this to me??"  I honestly don't have an answer to that question.  I felt today as if I'd infected her with the ebola virus or something.  I have this sinking feeling that we're going to be 1-4 after next week, which would make me no longer make it out to Ozzie's Bar and Grill for the local Billsbackers get-togethers the rest of the year.  Sorry for the rambling nature of my rant, but I had to get that off my chest.

Just another great fan opinion shared on the pages of BuffaloRumblings.com.

No problem, you can vent.

I am starting to give up. I was so excited about this season not that i thought we were going to do anything spectacular but because of the addition of T.O. I can’t sleep saturday nights. This is the most excited I have ever been for a bills season and you’d thought you see some at least great plays to T.O and the offense get a little more exciting. It however looks like i pissed away a lot of money on my season tix again. well at least there is always tailgating, that is fun.

Win or lose I go to LoDo’s with the Colorado Bills Backers every week. Just because the team is awful doesn’t mean it’s time to disown them. :(

Bills fan? In Colorado? It's more likely than you think.
