Have to say was surprised to read in 91 and 93 the defense was ranked 27th!  Seemed like they were dominant on both sides, but guess it's a case of having a couple superstars like Bruce hid things.  Plus that back back everyone was online 24/7 so much less info/stats easily available to fans.

The stat for defensive rank is entirely made up of yards. those teams would give up a lot of yards in garbage time of games we were up by 3 TDs with 12 minutes to go therefore our rank was skewed.

I wasn’t one of the Jerry haters. Much of the negative press was certainly earned by the bills during their seemingly never ending dark era. Having said that, his opinion carries absolutely no weight anymore. He’s become a non factor in the sports media universe.

Signs of the end times:
 

There will be great earthquakes, famines and pestilences in various places, and fearful events and great signs from heaven and Jerry Sullivan shall complement the Buffalo Bills.

Jerry has always complimented the Bills when they did well. They just didn't do well often during the last twenty years and sensitive Bills fans got their panties in a bunch. Constantly.

 

When they went 5-1 the year Trent Edwards looked good, Jerry was wildly positive and said that if things continued Jauron deserved consideration as Coach of the Year. He would have been right too, if things continued, which they didn't.

 

He's always been cranky but fair. And the Bills have been consistently poor to mediocre for a long long time, which led honest and realistic observers to say bad things. Of course he's saying good things. That's not the amazing thing. The amazing thing is that really good things are happening on the field and show every sign of being sustainable.

I like Jerry Sullivan- the problem for Bills fans is that they don't want to be told the truth when the team is bad and they were pretty bad for most of the last 18 years. He didn't sugarcoat it and Bills fans didn't want to hear it.

"Let’s start by taking care of one major piece of business. You might want to brace yourselves, and no, my brain has not been inhabited by sinister creatures from some other planet. 

The Bills are good enough to reach the Super Bowl. 

There, I said it. "  It's nice to see he has a sense of humor about it.  He is well aware he's been Negative Nancy for years in WNY.

Jerry was very critical of a franchise that for almost two decades didn't make the playoffs, was a symbol of dysfunction, had marv levy and russ brandon as GM, went through the cash to the cap years, extended dick jauron, had people flat out quit instead of being part of a their professional football organization, couldn't find a qb to save their lives, routinely destroyed by NE.... off the top of my head

 

Now seeing where this organization is and how a top notch football operation should be run, I actually respect JS more
