Another 50 year fan here. Hang in there Mike, before Kay Stephenson, Hank Bullough,and the group we have "enjoyed" the past decade or so,there was Harvey Johnson!! There is a history of mediocrity going back to the late 60's, This franchise has always been run by piss poor management (other than Polian)and the fault lies with only one man... Ralph Wilson. To the fans of "Mr. Wilson"... give it a rest.
I feel the off season spending was a desperate attempt to sell tickets to help the value of the franchise (and we all know why).
We have a mediocre coach(and staff) and there is NO motivation for the players. They never see the owner and due to his age and health he is basically inactive at this point.
I continue to watch the games and hope for the best but after all these years I remember a comment my frustrated Dad said years ago..."There is more to life than the Buffalo Bills". As I watch the games I expect very little (and receive it).
Due to Ralph's "management practices", lame coaches and a team full of quitters, do not expect to see any type of turnaround soon.
Watching games is something I do with my son and we enjoy the time together... I just don't expect much.
