It's neither horrible or unusual.

How many of us wanted the Celtics to tank the last couple of games a couple years ago to improve draft position.

When a team is out of the playoffs, there are a lot of fans who would prefer their team to lose a few games to get better players.

Let's not pretend we are so superior to Bills fans. There are a lot of Pats fans who would be hoping for a better pick if we were out of the playoffs by week six, and would be hoping we'd lose a ton of games. Lose a bunch of games for one year, be stronger for the next five-six.

The Steelers had one bad season this year, and got Rothliesberger out of it. Where would the be now if they'd gone 8-8 instead of 6-10? Nowhere.

Right here everytime we have a bye there are scads of fans, me included, who hopes BB will not play any startes in week 17 and I don't give a crap if they lose, either.

So let's not act like the smug, obnoxious fans that other fans think we are.

And as MLR said, the fans here who cannot accept the least flaw in the best team in the decade, but constatly carp and complain about the FO that has built the best team in the decade are worse. I think these bandwagon give-me-perfection-or-they-suck maroons are the absolute worst "fans" in the world.

A few fans vandalize players homes and a few fans root for their team to lose so their front office will get overhauled, and Buffalo is a bad fan base? Buffalo has extremely loyal fans. How many people on this board were ready to throw point fingers and question our FO after we lost a single game to the Jets?

Just start a thread in this forum with the header "I want the Patriots to lose" and watch the sh!t hit the fan.

I am sure that those guys who posted that stuff below that column would never post thier thoughts on the most popular Bills forum

Hmmmm, could I see myself rooting against the Pats?

No, not really. It'd have to be something really weird like we're already out of the playoffs and if we lose the Jets don't get in to the playoffs but if we win they do, like we're playing the team that they're fighting with for the spot or something like that. And even then I'd feel bad about it.

I do feel sorry for Buffalo fans - they feel like they are being held hostage by an incompetent and senile owner (Raiders anyone?).

Their HC is a joke and their players only talk him up because he gives them an easy life.

Sometimes I think i've got more in common with Buffalo fans than the halfwits who moan about imperfections in a team they are lucky enough to support.

You should check this forum out - plenty of posters here and 90% of them are disillusioned and vocal about forcing a change in management.

Hard Core Bills Talk - The Buffalo Range, where the Buffalo fans roam!

Can't say I blame them.

are these the same bills fans who cheered when Brady got hurt? I hope so because they are miserable. I will never get tired of Brady hurting the Bills fans ever.

IAWTP I can't stand Bills fans because of that. A plague of 6" locusts is too good for Buffalo. Even if they had the first pick overall, Wilson will never get a good coach because anyone worth their salt will want GM powers too. He'll never go that route.

That's pathetic but let's be real here, okay? If the Pats had a season like the Bills are having, you'd see that same attitude all over the place on here. "I hope they lose the rest of their games so we can get a good draft pick". Hell, I could name you three or four posters on this forum alone who hoped exactly that would happen earlier last season when Cassel didn't come out of the gates and set the world on fire. So don't just act like it's Buffahole fans that pull off this attitude because Pats fans have been guilty of it as well.
