But they aren't known for "opening their wallet" for high profile players, even with drops in ticket sales. It wasn't predictable at all. Did you REALLY think they were going sign TO? Because no one in the world predicted it. If you thought TO was the most likely choice TO would end up, you would be a liar. So since they changed their style and "opened their wallets" to someone of high profile, it makes it seem more likely that the bills would "open their wallet" again for another high profile name, IE headcoach like shanny. The chances of it happening? close to none. But ever since TO surprised everyone that watches sports, bills fans see a slightly bigger chance that a high profile name will get signed.

When the bills signed TO, it made the bills look more unpredictable, therefor making other possible big name signings seem more.... possible.

To be honest, I would love to have shanahan, but only if he let us hire the GM we wanted, not the one he wanted. And that is probably another dealbreaker for him that we can add to the long list. Even more than a coach, I want a real GM. If we hire a good GM, that alone will make me really look forward to the offseason. We might get some really good pickups and actually put our 1st pick to good use in the draft.

If you don't think that Fitz and Trent threads don't exist, you must be legally blind. Especially with edwards.

get out of football so we don't have to watch his crappy play and get reminded every week that he is an idiot for !@#$ing his life up.

Yeah, he would be meddlesome. But at least he would keep the team in western Ny!

let's face it. the only thing we don't need is running back, secondary, special teams, and maybe WR and TE. Everything else needs help at oline, dline, QB, LB, coach, and GM. we basically need a new team.

hahhahahahahaha

Ok, so, who is this YE guy/girl?

Hangartner is better than Incognito. Hangartner isn't bad. he is fine. If we are going to replace anyone, it might as well be our bad players. Incognito is a good short term fix, but I don't want him as a long term fix. Are we really that bad of a team that we take a player and start him who was cut from one of the worst teams in the league?

Option 3 would rock if we can sign at least one good tackle in FA. We would still have to draft another tackle in the 4th though.

that's a lot of hard time.

with all these needs, hope to heaven that we solve SOMETHING in FA.

To have some respect? be competive? be a winning team? give the fans a reason to cheer? Sure, the ultimate goal is to win a superbowl. But there are realistic goals and not so realistic goals. You don't turn down a good coach just because you "think" he won't win a superbowl. I mean, how do you tell if a coach can win a superbowl or not? In my eyes, you can't tell. Especially when there is a good chance of hiring a coach with no HC experience (in which case, he could be either really bad from really good). So, you look for the best coach possible (winning record). The worst thing about shanihan is his personel decisions, which the team that signs him may get stuck with. But as a coach, this guy is solid. But there is no way to tell if a coach can win or not win a superbowl. Most coaches do not. A very select few do. You don't turn down a head coach with a proven record. For all we know none of the coaches available could bring the bills to the superbowl. But passing on a GOOD coach just because "naw, he can't take us all the way" is insane. We are probably going to hire some Assistant who is going to end up sucking, and we can wish we had shanihan to at least give us a decent season. And who knows? shannihan might be able to get the bills to the super bowl. Just because your little stat that super bowl coaches don't win super bowls on multiple teams bothers you, stats and records are being broken in EVERY game. Having one little stat be the barrier is a terrible thing to bother you that much. Shanihan could give us the best season we have had since we lost to the titans in the playoffs! and you want to steer clear because of ONE stat? I mean, come on. And hiring a good coach is one thing. What we really need is a solid GM/personell guy, and most people would agree. If we take a good coach like shanny, and grab some amazing personell guy, we will be golden. Heck, a good personel guy would make a mediocre coach into a great coach! So stop with the absolutes where shanihan is a bust for buffalo before he or anyone else gets here. Pray that buffalo hires a good coach instead of hoping they steer clear of good ones.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA WTF Where are you getting these..... "suggestions?" they aren't from me. Not in the least. Superbowl? We are talking about winning a superbowl? That seems a bit of a ways off, don't you think? I mean, seriously. I thought we were talking about "righting the team." To me that means a winning season their first year year, maybe get us to the playoffs, and if we are some lucky sons of a bitches, maybe we can WIN a playoff game! Maybe beat the pats*! So no, I am NOT suggesting that only a guy who's won the Super Bowl CAN win the Super Bowl. I am not suggesting a guy who's won the Super Bowl is more likely to win one. I am not suggesting that winning the Super Bowl is the only prerequisite for turning a team around. What I AM suggesting is that it is stupid that you claim that a proven head coach with a winning record cannot make this team into a real winner. I mean, do you really think that Shanihan can't make these guys winners? You saying he can't is a terrible, terrible statement. So, before you tell me to go do some research, maybe you should FIRST not jump to conclusions. hahahaha. making up things that I was "suggesting." Way to put words in peoples' mouths to prove your stupid point. Which is "shannihan can't give the bills a winning season" basically.

too bad JP sucks. We really wanted him to be the guy.

Gruden isn't exactly a good guy to fix the offense.

Well, if a superbowl winning coach can't right this team, then no coach can.

on any other team he would be an average player. On our team, he is a stud and a superstar.

yeah, because when a player is on life support, that immediatly means bills fans will want to sign him

this guy seems to be a good short term fix, but as a longterm fix, we need to get our two orgional guards back in their positions and draft/sign some tackles.

yeah, because that is just what this oline needs. More penalties!

mitchell!

she is probably crazy to date a guy who has a mile long resume of criminal problems and be surprised that he isn't prince charming.
