LGB Posted September 28, 2009 Posted September 28, 2009 Why is everyone so negative on this board? After all, it is only the third game and we have the hapless fins next. Wait, right after that is the equally inept Cleveland Browns. We should be 3-3 going into the Jets game and with a win over Houston and Carolina, could end up at 5-4 by week 9 (DJ keeps his job through the bye week). Then another win over Miami and another roll over KC (the Bills actually throw the ball down the field and score 52 points again) and Voila – out comes another 7-9 season. So you see? There is no reason to be negative. 7-9 has been good enough for three years and has not affected tickets sales and we are not the Detroit Lions (yet). So lighten up, keep the faith and hope that you see a playoff birth in your lifetime or before the moving vans pull up to one Bills Drive.

Plus we certainly have the continuity that Ralph so desired.
bowery4 Posted September 28, 2009 Posted September 28, 2009 The fish looked good last week maybe they won't suck and RW will have little chance but to fire Dick, thats not too negative is it?
Steely Dan Posted September 28, 2009 Posted September 28, 2009 The fish looked good last week maybe they won't suck and RW will have little chance but to fire Dick, thats not too negative is it? I highly doubt he fires Jauron during the season unless he has the balls to hire Cowher.

Not bad enough to get him fired, not good enough to be a winner....
Guest dog14787 Posted September 28, 2009 Posted September 28, 2009 I highly doubt he fires Jauron during the season unless he has the balls to hire Cowher. My guess is if DJ gets canned Bobby April takes over until the season is finished.(April goes 7-9) Being as we continue to take our failing coaching staff and hiring from within, who knows, maybe Bobby April stays HC for 3 more years of 7-9 So hey, don't worry, be happy, our marketing Director/ GM has it covered.
Thoner7 Posted September 28, 2009 Posted September 28, 2009 You assume we are going to beat Miami twice, Houston AND Carolina? Ill take coming out of those games 2-2. The Saints ran for 222 yards on us. Carolina could double that figure, plus their D is a lot better than the Saints -- against which our O scored ZERO points. Hopefully we beat Houston at home and can split with Miami, who may be 0-3, but dont forget....they havent played the Bucs yet. PS we will beat Jax
bdelma Posted September 28, 2009 Posted September 28, 2009 It's only been going on for how many years. The treadmill continues.
kbuckley9091 Posted September 28, 2009 Posted September 28, 2009 looking at the schedule....I smell 5-11.... Best case, maybe....wait for it......wait for it...... 7-9 DOOMED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

profile Posted September 28, 2009 Posted September 28, 2009 5-11 looks like a stretch at this point. The talent level on this team is exactly what the money spent has afforded us. I have been reduced to waiting out the last days of this team in WNY. I LOVE this team, but its hard to even be remotely excited about a team that didn't make a coaching change after last years collapse. Can you blame me, or anyone else on this board who feels empty about the prospect of a winning season in the foreseeable future? Its a lot easier to move a team that has been performing miserably for the last 10 years. SURE, lets blame it on the "viability" of the team in Buffalo.... give me a fu-ckin break... its time to blame the listless owner, they sell more than enough merchandise, and season tickets, plus the revenue sharing for this team to compete anywhere in the US. Good coaching, good scouting, good game plan... thats how you win in the NFL, not selling luxury seats to a bunch of corporations....

BuffaloBill Posted September 28, 2009 Posted September 28, 2009 So lighten up, keep the faith and hope that you see a playoff birth in your lifetime or before the moving vans pull up to one Bills Drive. Some of us are getting old and can't wait forever. This line pretty much sums up the status of Bills Nation right now.

The Fins were hapless last year too, until we played them and they went on a roll after that. You are a little over confident in your prognostications, for example going to Carolina is going to be tough, any game against the Jets is going to be tough, heck any team that this team plays is going to be tough.
BILLZ4LIFE Posted September 28, 2009 Posted September 28, 2009 I don't even know why I get mad anymore...... THEY'RE THE BILLS!!! Whatever happens, I hope its soon.
BillsVet Posted September 28, 2009 Posted September 28, 2009 9 years without a playoff appearance. 13 years without a playoff win. Some of the most debilitating losses in team history since 2006. HC who has no guts. HC, as Jerry Sullivan points out, is 2-21 against winning teams since 2006. If you'd like to be optimistic, keep living in fantasy world. Nothing has changed.
first_and_ten Posted September 28, 2009 Posted September 28, 2009 I see a thread like this every year about 3-5 weeks in. And every year the thread proves true!!!
Ramius Posted September 28, 2009 Posted September 28, 2009 People are negative not because we are 1-2, but because nothing has changed.
