Special Thanks to Jack for being non-supportive again this year. Love you, Bro!
As of this moment, sponsor total is $1,240! Thanks SO much.
Did a warm up walk today on the treadmill at Planet Fitness.
30 minutes - 1.5 miles. MAN am I out of shape!
Tomorrow the weather forecast at 10:00 AM, when the walk starts, is 40 degrees with showers.
Like tailgating in November!
It is not too late to sponsor me, if you have been procrastinating.
I will be sure to get a photo or three for Jack.
Thank you all.

It hurts to see the state of affairs of this franchise. Time after time to witness the influx of this "organization". The only time that I have ever seen success with this franchise was the Bill Polian Era and that was with a GM that we backed into. Right, wrong or indifferent with this latest purge the fact remains that we're nowheres near we any of us want to be with the Bills. This post isn't meant to be negative, just a non bi-polar assessment. I feel for so many of the people who have year after year, decade after decade pinned their hopes to these teams of the Bills. I think the term non stability is what best describes this franchise the past couple of decades. So once again here I go, like so many of us, I'll pray and dream of a successful season but this time it will be with much more tempered optimism. I will say that McDermott strikes me as someone who has a plan and is very structured and that gives me hope and I find as a refreshing change from past seasons.
Thank you for being able to express a critical* opinion about the state of the franchise and the fans. I believe that large a part of the problem is the demand for instant gratification FROM fans and advertisers. This has caused a situation where everyone, from the general manager to the water boy is looking over their shoulder, waiting for a pink slip.
Too often we are fooled by the owners and management of the team into thinking "this is our year". They will do whatever it takes to sell season tickets. To the business that seems to be more important than a Lombardi trophy. They are after all a business first and fans second.
I laughed to see you put "organization" in quotes. Good one!
My way of coping with this franchise has (in the past 4-5 years) been reduced to having no expectations. If you expect nothing and you get nothing, it may hurt a bit. If you expect playoffs or championships, and you get nothing - it HURTS,
I really hope the Bills can be patient with McDermott.
I hope the players can rise to the challenge of playing REAL football.
I hope the team can win back the fans by providing a few years of stability and success.

TBD group tickets this year? May be tough with a Jets opener.
They have made group tickets difficult to get, in general. They hold back waiting for more season ticket sales.
It will never be like the year when Jay got 100 tickets together!
I remember doing a couple group events with you back in the 90's, right before TBD became a reality.

We are getting there!

IF the top QBs are so great why would any team trade away the chance to draft them?
You could offer me 10 1st round picks and I wouldn't trade the chance to draft Manning Rogers or Brady.
Peyton Manning was a first round #1 choice.
Rogers was picked 24th overall in the first round
Brady was picked in the sixth round compensatory pick at #199, and was Bledsoe's back up.
The six QB's selected ahead of him:
Chad Pennington (Jets)
Giovanni Carmazzi (49ers)
Chris Redman (Ravens)
Tee Marin (Steelers)
Mark Bulger (Saints)
Spergon Wynn (Browns)
-
Totally reasonable for Bills fans to start lamenting the 2018 pick now.
The name of the draft should be changed to crap shoot. Study the dice all you can but it can still be a seven or snake eyes.
It is reasonable for Bills fans to question many of the decisions made by this team over the years.
I like the choice at #1 but I am not sure I like the trade for a few reasons others have already shared.
-
I just want to be ahead of the curve and be ready for next winter, so:
2019 is a FAR better class...
Good one!
-
Too many people thinking about this year. Gotta think long term.
Bills need to build for the future.
I have been thinking "long term" since January 1967.
What is wrong with building for NOW!

Robert A is me... I put my name in as usmcbillsfan (TBD) but it must've got my name from somewhere else. But anyway, good luck!
Thank you! That is why I listed you that way! (I was fishing)

My Daughter is married to one.
Babyrock married a Pats and Sox fan, but her kids wear fan gear from both teams. We have gone to a couple Yankees games with my son-in-law.
They live in Connecticut and he grew up on Pats, Red Sox, and NY Giants.
He is not a jerk about his teams and we just take friendly jabs at each other now and then.

Still just a kid! LOL
Have a great day, Joe!

I dislike almost every cover of Leonard Cohen's "Hallelujah".
I detest every version making it a Christian song.
It was a song about love and sorrow, written by a Jewish Zen Buddhist monk.

Thanks to my sponsors!
Surprisingly, only two sponsors from TBD this year. Off The Wall is usually my biggest asset.
I understand there are fundraisers every week in every town.
If you don't sponsor me, pick one of them and "pay it forward".
If you want to sponsor me, the clock is ticking!
I appreciate all my sponsors support - the current total is $560!
God Bless you all!

Most likely none. I prefer watching the games from home.
I agree in some ways, but I LOVE the home opener tailgate that starts on Saturday. I booked my Saturday night room but have no tickets yet.

1-4 at the bye puts a damper on the rest of the season
Time to start planning for the 2018 draft?
I do not understand Bills fans. I have low expectations in order to reduce the chance of permanent emotional damage, but I do TRY to be optimistic.
I am not singling you out, but this is a good example of the mood around The Wall.
I look forward to the home opener and seeing all my friends.

I cannot find another team I want to support so I will delay putting a paper bag on my head for now, instead of pissing on the parade

People got on line and voted for their favorite attraction in New York. Boldt Castle on Heart Island in the Thousand Islands was #1 and Letchworth State Park was #2.
I learned people have very poor taste in attractions.
