Jerry Jabber Posted October 23, 2012 Share Posted October 23, 2012 I'm glad the Bills started out the season the way they did, instead of giving us false hope that they are actually a good football team, then pull the wool from our eyes and say "Surprise...fooled you again...HAHAHAHA!!!!!!" I'm getting ready to markup another year of missing the playoffs, and going through a new Head Coaching search at the end of the season. Just like everyone else (to use some wrestling terminology), nobody wants another "Jabroni" or "Ham and Egger" as the next Bills HC. My personal choice would be Marty Schottenheimer. I feel "Marty Ball" would be perfect for the Bills right now, as they have a great 1-2 punch at RB. If not Marty, I wouldn't mind Brian Billick. After how abysmal the defense is, nobody would want Wannsuck as the Bills HC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jerry Jabber Posted October 23, 2012 Author Share Posted October 23, 2012 Hey, there's always next year. Â Lol!!! Yep, we've heard that one before...

Billshank Redemption Posted October 23, 2012 Share Posted October 23, 2012 yea and I dont think it is being a bad fan saying it either. We dont deserve this, especially after the offseason we had and thinking that all of our defensive holes were fixed. I actually dont understand in any way how our defense could possibly any worse then it was last year when virtually the only thing we lost was drayton florence who we cut. I just dont get it.

H2o Posted October 23, 2012 Share Posted October 23, 2012 How true this is. All of the people in denial will come to the realization when we are sitting @ 3-7 3 weeks after the bye. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBrownBear Posted October 23, 2012 Share Posted October 23, 2012 Make that 14 years without the playoffs, at a minimum. Even under the best case scenario where we hire a competent coach and draft a franchise QB in the offseason, you're looking at a minimum of one season to develop the QB and install the new coach's philosophy. So, if everything falls just right for us, you're looking at a team that could possibly have a chance at the postseason in January 2015. Given our history, my guess is that we get the coaching change/frachise QB thing wrong for one more cycle (an additional 3-4 years), so we're looking at playoffs in 2018-2019. That would put us at roughly 20 years since our last playoff game. Â It's funny, I remember my Dad and I laughing and making fun of my mother for crying after we lost the Homerun Throwback game. We told her it was just a game and that they'd make the playoffs next year. If only we knew, we would have been crying right along with her.

If all of that happens, Brady will be retired and the Bills might have a legitimate shot in the AFC East (given they get a competent QB and a competent coaching staff). Too bad we have to wait that long for it to happen! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KD in CA Posted October 23, 2012 Share Posted October 23, 2012 You mean 13 more years?? Yeah, that sounds about right. Â By the time Ralph hits 107, the Bills will be ready to 'win now'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We told her it was just a game and that they'd make the playoffs next year. If only we knew, we would have been crying right along with her. Â I cried as well. I was in 3rd grade. I'm 21 years old now. Â This season isn't completely lost though. The bye is coming at a perfect time and this is what needs to happen: Â 1) Fire Wanny. Either promote or bring in a low-budget guy with some Perry Fewell-like fire. I occasionally go to Giants training camp (I live in Albany) and this guy was a phenomenal coach. We have the talent, we just need the motivation and some different schemes. Maybe we could possibly dial up a blitz on 3rd down??? Â 2) Bench Aaron Williams or Move him to Free Safety. Ron Brooks should be healthy and McKelvin can't possibly be that much worse. Â 3) Get TJax involved in the wildcat. Imagine Fred, CJ and TJax all in the backfield! Wow. Even though our offense isn't the problem, it would be fun to watch. Â 4) Switch around our D-Line. Let Carrington get in on the action, I like the guy alot and he's a playmaker. Kelsey has been a solid pass rusher. Merriman should be in on 3rd and longs. Â We're 3-4 guys. After the Houston game, our schedule gets a lot easier. We need to make alot of adjustments on defense, and I trust that Chan is smart enough to see that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All_Pro_Bills Posted October 23, 2012 Share Posted October 23, 2012 Before the season I thought predictions of the Bills making the playoffs were a sure sign that those end of the world prophecies were true. But now with prospects for a playoff spot fading faster than the nighttime temperatures in the Fall I feel certain we'll live to see the 2013 season. As tradition requires, we will be lead to believe that improvements have been made and winning is sure to follow only to be bitterly disappointed one more time.
