May Day 10

Why does he need the step of hanging onto the previous failures? The Sabres would have been much better off starting sooner. He also fired Ruff at the beginning of a season (after a half season lockout too)... and also hung onto Darcy too long, firing him early in the following season. In both cases, the moves were made just as the crowds were becoming very ugly in the arena.

Throwing money at bad executives and coaches thinking it will fix all the problems instead of magnify it? Then try to make excuses for them, trying to hold on, until the crowd gets so ugly that change is forced?

at what point does continuity take hold?

Yup. Everything that franchise does is in the attempt to increase their odds of winning. Every facet. Its admirable. The bills are light years away from that or anything close to it. They flail around hoping to qualify for a wild card spot one year. Browner punched revis unconscious at a practice and we dont hear abput it until almost 2 years after they won the superbowl. What kind of 3 ring circus would break out at OBD i wonder. The patriots arent going away when brady retires. The bills need to compete with them.

Yup. Makes you wonder who was "bad mouthing" polian and why polian cooled on taking the position.

They need someone to head up the football program. This person would effectively wall off russ brandon once and for all. Bill polian would likely send brandon to get his coffee if he wanted to be involved.

who keeps hiring the bad coaches?

Yeah. Still disappointed nothing was done on his arrival. Also concerned about the "year one" talk

Nope. They stink. Year two, whatever you want to call it. I have seen this movie too many times. Crappy teams, with crappy management, and crappy coaches, dont win.

Onion bombs on the smoker. Pulled pork sammys. Coleslaw, zucchini corn bread

Spoiler alert: 7-9

The entire issue with Henderson is on the NFL. Why do this to themselves? No reason to test players for marijuana and banging them for 4 games. All it does is create unnecessary bad press, pisses off members of the NFLPA, and keeps good players from playing/entertaining. Especially when you have a guy battling something like Crohn's and trying to overcome. Especially when you have team doctors prescribing much worse things by the handful

Oklahoma City Bombers (12 years) Port Byron Browns (5 years) East St Louis Poverty (12 years) Those are my 3. Keep with tradition.

That stadium is a huge barrier to entry. I actually am interested in the MAC, and I try from time to time... but I cant stomach games there. It feels like Im watching the game from the moon

My "goal" has been degraded from making the playoffs to having truly meaningful December games... (I don't mean having to run the table to stay on the bottom of the "In The Hunt" graphic).

I think they can. It is possible. They need to buy in and stay relatively healthy.

They beat stony brook in 5 ot in 2013, then put up a 6-2 conference record and made a bowl game. Its certainly not a good thing, but it isnt a season killer unless they are northern illinois going for a major berth or something.

Im pretty sure these guys are as sick of the ineptitude as many of us are. I thought sullivan put out a pretty solid justification for his prediction. People can say "year 1" all they want, but pegula took ownership about 2 years ago and chose to stay on the same "course" that ralph wilson set. People bury their heads in the sand, but whaley has been a major decision maker here for a long time, brandon even longer. The head coach's career has been in a nosedive for 6 years, his twin brother was brought in after overseeing one of the worst defenses in league history. Last year they looked much better on paper, the schedule was there for the taking and they couldnt get it done. This season, the schedule appears more challenging. We'll see. I certainly wont fault anyone for being optimistic and hopeful this time of year. People who have negative opinions on tge upcoming season certainly arent just "haters" and shouldnt be talked down to as if they are ill informed. I complain about this team a lot. I still very much want them to be good. I still go to games and hope and cheer

The loss really doesnt matter. The mac games are the regular season and their division is wide open (bad)

Season one started great but went into the pooper (imo, but others enjoyed it). Season 2 was perfect. Season 3 bucked me off and i never got back on Stranger Things on Netflix is very solid

Why are people shocked and disappointed when people have the bills finishing in 3rd or 4th. That has been their finish like 14 of 16 times since the realignment

I think Vikings. Bridgewater is solid enough and had a bright future, but it isn't like he is a touchdown machine. They also have the Bills' schedule from last year, playing the AFC South and NFC East. Also 4 games vs the Bears and Lions. Denver is in a pretty tough AFC West and may take a few body shots. Bills and Browns, lol.

Very good news!

I cant argue with the prediction. Only disappointing because its 'safe'. Vegas currently has them at about 8 wins. That is what I expect.

yeah. I tore my ACL and drove home
