Maddog69 Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 People are funny. This has been said about soooooooooooo many different faces over the last 16 years. No one person is THE problem. This team needs to get a QB and retool the defense. Anyone that believes that Russ Brandon is somehow standing in the way of that is out to lunch on that particular topic Exactly. Russ is in charge or corporate sponsorships and ticket sales. Both are at record high levels. Anyone who thinks he is going anywhere is not very bright.

MarkAF43 Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 Pettine coming back as his DC makes sense to me. They can improve on the bit of success the defense had in 2013. I think he's a good motivator and teacher. Pettine is supposedly safe in Cleveland. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuffaloBillsForever Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 Why do you now assume differently? Were you unaware that he still works for the organization? Sorry, it was meant as sarcasm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omar Little Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 (edited) Russ Brandon? He is Team President. Doesn't mean he's involved in building the team, though. He's also the Sabres' president, but has zero say over their roster. Rightly so. He's fine on the business side. He has no credibility as a builder.

Buffalo Boy Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 (edited) Let me be the first to say, no NFL ticket for me next year. We all fell for it but Rex is a bum. More so than Moron was as painful as it is to admit. " and the beat goes on." Edited December 30, 2015 by Buffalo Boy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vinaccia Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 This is the best decision. The Pegulas and management are smart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dpberr Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 I wouldn't have released that statement today. If the Bills get blown out on Sunday, it's going to get real ugly in BillsLand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's also the Sabres' president, but has zero say over their roster. Rightly so. i didn't say he had anything to do with personnel. The poster said he thought he was director of marketing or something and acted shocked he was included in the statement.

BuffaloBillsForever Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 He did the right thing by making his announcement right now and killing off all the rumors and speculation. Both men know where they stand now, and both can start looking ahead to doing what they have to do to make this a playoff team in 2016 although I wanted at the very least Whaley gone I totally agree with you.

If the Bills get blown out on Sunday, it's going to get real ugly in BillsLand. it doesn't matter, because they aren't making a change regardless. Why would it get ugly if they lose? Have you seen the squad we are rolling out there? Even I haven't heard of some of the guys. It's not like people expect some big bills win.

FireChan Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 This is the worst case scenario. The tracks end in 2016, with an even more spectacular derailment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More so than Moron was as painful as it is to admit. " and the beat goes on." as inconsequential as it may seem, I have also resigned myself to not renewing my DTV Sunday Ticket in the wake of this announcement. I also find the timing of the announcement very odd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Direhard Fan Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 Sounds like a plan to me. Get a new special teams coach and let acouple of the "D" line go and the scape goats will be gone. Problem solved. Philly sure knew when to bail. Maybe Kelly can be our new assistant coach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
