That's worse than "It's hard to win in the NFL."

Probably because it was a non-starter instead of someone like FredEx.or Spiller or Fitz.

Ouch

I do not have a score prediction for the game, but I will predict that you cave and haul ass to a bar Sunday just before game time

I honestly don't even have a score prediction. If Kolb has time to throw then it is going to get ugly as Fitzgerald has a career day against Gilmore. But the D could have a good showing against a OL that has been giving up sacks in bunches, plus the cards are down to the third string RB. Pick-em as far as I can tell. Probably why Vegas has the line so close as well. Could well come down to a key mistake. So please Chan keep your head out of your butt and chill on the 5-wide Sunday! The Bills need to take the ball out of Fitz's hands as much as possible.

That was a playoff game and was in January 1993. And you are correct, it did not sell out..

Ryan Fitzpatrick.

Didn't happen even in the SB years. December games in an outdoor stadium in Buffalo do not sell themselves.

I don't know about the "insulting" part, but the rest is true. He is entitled to do what he wants (within the rules of the NFL anyway) regarding the ownership and sale of his team. And the fans don't have any right or say in that decision. Like it or not. When Mr. Wilson passes we will find out. All the forum threads in the world won't change that basic fact.

I haven't heard any other explanation, so to quote Mr. Spock ... "If you eliminate the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth." As to why pick him. Thinking about next season maybe? Maybe Nix wants to make T-Jack the next anointed one? Your guess is as good as mine.

As opposed to the Bills no defense and no defensive line. Sounds like an even match-up.

Man, if AZ beats the Bills in the air that will be one thing. But down 2 RBs and with that OL if they can abuse the Bills D on the ground like they have been the last 2 games then it really is time to re-plan my next 11 Sunday afternoons.

Ahhhh if you are including Rochester for example, then no it would not be on that list.

At least with a RG3 or Luck on the team you might attract a decent OC and HC. Right now the Bills GM has anointed a career backup as the starting QB. And what's worse, with all the good QBs in recent drafts, the Bills did not see fit to get one to groom, much less start. Who do you get for HC/OC without a viable QB? Answer is Chan Gailey.

I write big checks all the time and it does not sting nearly as bad if it is not your money. No matter how disappointing the team is, he gets paid stupid money to run essentially an entertainment company. His decisions affect a football team. He is not making life or death decisions, not making decisions that ruin peoples lives (except maybe a few sad fans). I would take that job in a heartbeat and always enjoy it, no matter how poorly the team is playing at any given time.

It does not say the state is funding a stadium, but neither does the title of this thread. Both simply state that Cuomo favors one, which is backed up in the blog post ...

It's the smart play. Making people in Buffalo happy gets Cuomo jack ****. But making people in NYC happy gets Cuomo re-elected.

1) Defense. 2) Offense

Or, if this Geno Smith is as good as some people here seem to think (I do not follow college football), mortgage the entire draft and give up whatever picks it takes to get him. I have to believe the majority of the defensive problems get fixed with new coaching. With a good young QB maybe the Bills can attract a good OC and/or HC and that coupled with the defensive personnel could attract a good DC. Yeah I know I'm really reaching, but seeing at least one good path forward makes me feel better.

People should look back to the first page then for a reasonable explanation.

Give me Brandons salary and I would enjoy the hell out of that job.

That is your idea of ripping on the D? This is the most harsh thing in the article: If Nix really wants to rip on the D all he has to do is plagiarize from here, not that softball bull ****.

Or just have the O and D switch. Imagine how confused Kolb would be if he looked across the line and saw Fitz there.

This is the first reasonable explanation I have heard, thanks!
