dwight in philly

i can agree with you on all fronts. leaving the buffalo area for family reasons 3 years ago, i rely on the media in all forms to get my info on the buffalo sports scene. needless to say, i am always reading ESPN, PFT, and all the other websites, looking for bills news. it seems to me that the bills are slighted, no doubt, but as much as it pains me to say, it is due to the fact they are not relevant, they stink. you can always find stories on romo, the cowboys, raiders, you name it, but the populace just looks at the bills as an after thought. market size has nothing to do with it, the franchise has been in a malaise for so long, it will not change until the mindset of the franchise does.. i e: trying to win.

i would not mind firing gailey, what is the difference? what is another "3-5 year building program"? lets see?, maybe we can bring in gunther cunningham, or marty morningweig..

good post! happy new year to you!!

"in spite of flutie" ? really.. but i do agree with you obviously on the kick coverage or lack of the correct call of an illegal forward pass.

did it warrant starting johnson?

would he tell mike mccarthy to start matt flynn in the playoffs?

the knox regime was a good run and i hated the way it ended due to ralph's interference and bungling. previous to that, lou saban left almost under identical circumstances back in 1966. we all know nothing will change until ownership does.

a commitment to winning is all that franchise needs, forget toronto

i certainly agree about the "continuity" factor, and changing front office personnel, coaches every 2-3 years is a recipe for disaster for sure. however, as i am sure ,you , and everyone on here is aware, a "turnaround" can happen almost instantaneously if the proper decisions and RESOURCES are made available. littman and overdorf are running the show , and the bottom line is far more important than winning and the franchise will continue to spin its wheels until ralph passes on or a new mindset manifests.

ralph has been and is still, cheap.

my feelings exactly. i thought any team was better than no team, but with wilson and his cronies just looking at the bottom line as opposed to actually trying to win,is frustrating, to say the least. every year is 'ground hog day", nothing changes and the outright abuse of the fans by the mgmt is starting to really get to me.

reuben gant is pi$$ed!

i would endorse barbills in east aurora also, but connor's rest. on seneca st in west seneca has an awesome one also. if you wanna keep the buffalo food thing going, their fish-fry is the best!

i am at the point where they should just go and get rob ryan. screw it!, the franchise needs some life, and ryan will be as big a blowhard as rex, but at least it will be entertaining and i suspect they will be tougher at least, more representative of the city. i am sick of the two franchises in buffalo being so freakin soft!

sure, the draft blunders were not because of the "bean counters", but letting "personnel" people leave i e : polian, butler, after saban and knox, was because of the frustration each experienced with dealing with the littman's and co.

huh???? you are kidding .. right?? "evidence", try looking at their record since 1999! they let phillips go , then , he either had to fight to get his salary, or ralph tried to stiff him, do not recall exactly. so , the fact they traded evans for a 4th round pick that reeked of overdorf's involvement, cutting hangartner. the total lack of an aggressive approach to free-agency is another. sure they hide under the guise of "building thru the draft", but please, T O, ????that was brandon pumping up season tickets. i am not going to go further, but since 1960, the team has made some horrific decisions and 99% of them were made due to the "bean counters", and that mentality. personnel decisions based on "bean counting".. remember chuck knox?? do you know why he left??? THE BEAN COUNTERS!.. he became agitated with the constraints put on him in conjunction with the personnel dept.

your points are well taken, for sure, but anyone who does not reconize that the "bean counters" rule the roost is delusional. it is the "bean counting" mentality that permeates throughout the organization, hence a lost decade and counting, and a reputation as such.

well, doug whaley just purchased a home on middlesex rd, a pricey neighborhood. maybe he got the word , nix stepping aside.

as one who keeps abreast of the NFL via PFT, ESPN, like most on here, it seems like people in cincy are always complaining about owner mike brown and how cheap he and the organization are. cincy has made the playoffs this past decade , bottomed out, and are now on the cusp of being good again. it seems to me that they obviously draft better, but why is the bills organization so inept in comparison? all facets of the bills organization seems completely a mess. is it because mike brown is younger than wilson?, just cant figure it out.

i honestly think overdorf is smiling, kept expenses low, maximized the profit,figures he gave the fans a month of good times, he sleeps well at night. littman is in detroit, so he just counts the money. the rest of the employees, well, brandon is either giving buddy nix a foot massage or polishing the apple on ralph's desk. nix is asking whaley if he wants the job yet, and gailey is scratching his head.

i gave him a D also. i think the troup pick looks absolutely horrible , obviously. i thought his picking up urbik , pears, drafting of hairston was decent. but just too many negatives, lack of agressiveness in free-agency and allowing gailey to continue with edwards as DC are my primary concerns. i realize the appearance of him getting involved with gailey over coaches looks bad, but he is the GM, and it falls on him. it would not be the first time a GM got involved in coaching decisions. finally, not standing up to overdorf and littman is troubling.
