gjv001 Posted November 17, 2009 Share Posted November 17, 2009 How do you sell this team to the public next year? Every aspect of this team is a huge negative. They have a boring pathetic offense, a boring head coach, and probably one of the worst run defense teams in NFL history. The only entertainment that will come out of One Bills Dr. in 2010 will be watching how Brandon sells this garbage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you believe Vic Carucci of NFL.com, the Bills will be pulling up a dumpster and do a full house cleaning at the end of the year. Supposedly Jauron, Modrak, Guy and probably a few position coaches go. That will be the only thing that keeps me from cancelling my seats. Now will they hire anyone good to replace them?

Erik Posted November 17, 2009 Share Posted November 17, 2009 If Brandon was the genius they say he is, he would make the move right now to bring a real GM, say it was his idea and throw the rest of the front office under the bus. Then if the new guy succeeds, as does Brandon. Clearly that's the angle that will need to be taken to sell tickets next year anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Philster Posted November 17, 2009 Share Posted November 17, 2009 Easy... sign Vick. it worked with To A few problems with that TO was productive last year...Vick was on a downslide before he went to prison and hasn't shown to be very good this year, either A lot of long-time Bills season ticket holders would cancel if a scumbag like Vick was signed...most of us wouldn't sell our soul to the devil for an exciting yet unproductive player ever heard the saying "Fool me once, shame on you.

You have to be kidding - this is the easiest trick he has to turn yet - let's say on a scale of 1 to 10, Bill's fans' excitement is a 2 right now (only for die hards); 1. You get the free excitement generated when we replace the Dick - add 3 points (everyone will love this) 2. Bring in a capable "Football guy" for the front office - add 1 point (only the die hards will care) 3. Bring in some name to sell jerseys and tickets - Mike Vick - add 3 points 4. Let it leak out that the Bills are one of the players in the City of Indistry CA quest for a team to get the fear factor rising... Now add in a marque free agent and a shiney new draft pick - 7 Sellouts in WNY - guaranteed....Brandon is a genius! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You must think Bills fans are idiots I wouldn't call anyone an idiot, especially someone who follows this disaster as much as I do and for as long as I have, but don't Bills fans fall for the same crap year after year, front office after front office, coaching staff after coaching staff? Yes they do, so does that make all of us idiots? Ralph has thousands of Western New Yorkers under his thumb, like Yo-Yos attached to our wallets. The sad thing is, even Browns fans will protest in public, all Bill's fans do is B word online in forums like this, or amongst each other, but come gameday, the stadium if full, and Ralph's wallet is even fuller, so it is all his gain and our loss and nothing will ever change. Heck if I could make million after million without putting anything into it, I probably would too, but it still sucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rackemrack Posted November 17, 2009 Share Posted November 17, 2009 its easy, get a new coach, pick a can't miss prospect with our top 10 pick, one or two free agents, and you got 50,000 season tickets sold Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OrangeJuiceSimpson Posted November 17, 2009 Share Posted November 17, 2009 He'll do just fine selling this team. He'll sign the most well known, washed-up player out there and claim he is the key to the playoffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sammyboy Posted November 17, 2009 Share Posted November 17, 2009 Brandon better be finding a job for himself next year.. Knowing his type..He's in self preservation mode right now and has feelers out throughout the league....He is a good promoter.....We've been buying his sh-t for years. Its us who will suffer.....as always when your a Bills fan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RayFinkle Posted November 17, 2009 Share Posted November 17, 2009 Brandon and company no longer being employees of the Buffalo Bills would be the best marketing plan I can think of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsVet Posted November 17, 2009 Share Posted November 17, 2009 I'm just wondering why anyone believes Russ Brandon has any power on this team? This is a man who is the public face of the team in the off-season when the record is 0-0. When the season rolls around, he's nowhere to be found and rarely speaks. The last time I can recall him speaking was after the Cleveland debacle when he admitted it was a low point. Brandon defers on every major decision to Wilson and Littman. He can't make big changes, and he certainly can't sign a UFA like TO, who came when RW dreamed up that marketing move. Brandon simply allows the team not to have to hire a GM, much like his predecessor Marv. Brandon's presence is a cost cutting move. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fan in San Diego Posted November 17, 2009 Share Posted November 17, 2009 There is no hurry as long as a new GM & HC are in place before the draft. The good GM's and HC's get hired early and first. So yea there is some urgency. I say clean house now and get started early on hiring the best out there now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
