Because I enjoy conversing with Bills fans about the state of the team. Will do so as long as the team resides here. I mean, this is more fun than watching the games right? One of the problems with the internet is ppl use it as a safe space, finding a bubble where they fit, and where no one has a differing view. Don't fall into that trap.

blitzboy54 Posted November 20, 2017 Posted November 20, 2017 If Trump was right it will be the first time he has ever been right about anything!!!! Imagine that, the first time that clown is right it will be about the Bills being doomed. lol

We might not be any better than we are right now but no way the likes of Russ Brandon would still have a job working for him. 1

Don't fall into that trap. i think the internet is more of a place that people come on to say what they really feel. most of the time, it's something they would never say face to face to someone else. the last thing i think of when i think of the internet is a "safe place".

Absolutely. How is not having a team to root for better? Whether the Bills/ Sabres win or lose it does nothing to affect my life. I will always be a fan and hope for the best but there's no reason to take it that seriously.

There is absolutely no reason whatsoever why Russ Brandon should still be employed by this organization. Don't want to hear he's just a marketing guy and has nothing to do with the team, he has everything to do with it and still very much pulling the strings behind the scenes from my understanding. That's why the Pegulas need a true outsider as the leader of the organization. Just like they should have hired a real GM first and let him bring in his coach, not vice versa. I totally agree, Russ Brandon is the reason this team hasn't and cannot win. I can just tell all he cares about is finding that soft zone between selling tickets and not winning.

He might be good at selling false hope in Buffalo every year but selling football to the city of Buffalo is like selling cigarettes to a pack a day smoker. In other words it's probably not as hard of a job as most believe because as bad as things have got the last 17 years people seem to keep lining up for tickets and merchandise no matter what and still will next year.

Depends on where you go on the internet, Facebook and other social media create safe space bubbles, it's one of the contributing factors of why everything you say offends someone else these days. Our culture was already pretty ****ty, social media has made it exponentially ****ty.
ghostwriter Posted November 20, 2017 Posted November 20, 2017 This is harsh. You can blame McDermott and Beane collectively but you can't fault the Pegula family, they're good people and I think one day they'll be hosting a Lombardy trophy.

The sky is falling... 32 minutes ago, White Linen said: My expectations are the organizations should absolutely be turned around within the year of new regimes. This is ridiculous that they haven't been able to completely overhaul things to this point. Exactly. We were projected to be a bottom 3 team in the NFL and many of these same fans griping agreed with that assessment. They overachieved big time in the first weeks of the year and gave us an early glimpse of what this defense can look like when playing McDermott's scheme properly. But now their talent level has caught back up with them. Instead of giving people hope for the future, it seems to have done the opposite. As I said before, we are not even in the building stage of the rebuild. They've stripped the team down and have yet to start building it up again. I'm going to hold my judgement until they actually add some talent. The new front office hasn't even had a draft yet. Beane hired what looks like a top of the line front office, personnel and scouting staff in order to build through the draft. Maybe we should, you know, give them a chance to actually do that before declaring them a total failure with no hopes of ever succeeding?

It's not like they want the teams to suck. They are hiring ppl that were considered the right choice at the time.

Actually, good people do tend to be more successful in life. Blaming an owner for 17 years of dysfunction before he was even here is a moronic thing to do. He hasn't even been here for 5 years yet.

(i'm not making this comment about the op). 1

He may have saved the WNY sports teams, but what the hell is the point of it all if they can't compete in their respective leagues? McDermott has neutered himself and lost credibility with his players. It's very clear that Peterman was not ready to start an NFL game, and if McBeane thought he was, the drought is not ending anytime soon. It just may have been better for WNY'ers in the long run if both teams left the region. Maybe it'd be better for the bills if you just quit being a fan? 1
