  1. Not to paint with too broad of a brush . . .

     

     

     

     

     

    This seems to be stretching it a bit. "Boy" has some hateful history so I see where you're going, but "our boy" is a term of endearment and family. It's a phrase of community not divisiveness.

     

    I think the "PC Police" Police are going to to have thoughts for this.

    Thanks for helping to make my point.

     

    I wasn't really offended by the term "boy," in this context.

     

    Just like I didn't find what Spiller did to be offensive. Was it stupid for him to do? - YES. But it's not like he went on Twitter and posted something like, "I hate fags," or, "Elton John is just a fag."

     

    He was kidding around with his buddy. He's what ... 22-years-old? Come on, people ... lighten up and consider the context.

  2. I wanted to find out from the fans,what is the limit to this approach, so far it appears losing will fix everything

    I'm sorry, but no real fan would promote their team's losing.

     

    Losing only fosters a losing environment.

     

    Look at Buffalo and Detroit ... they don't know how to win. Both of us had wins handed to us on silver platters ... only to find a way to lose.

     

    It's because that's what both teams are used to.

     

    Winning games makes winning more games an easier thing to do.

  3. First off an Owner that puts the priority on WINNING. You PAY for a top flight front office and coaching staff. You draft well and build through the draft. You add Free agents here and there that help the team. You cut talent that is on the downside and or just doesn't perform. You use that talent and or some other pics to keep gaining future picks to keep talent coming into your franchise. (NE has two firsts, two seconds and two thirds in the 2011 draft).

     

    What sucks is that 'Model' of how to build a franchise is here in our own division and our owner flat out ignores it.

    In a word ... "exactly."

  4. The only thing the Bills are on the hook for is the $20MM they flushed down the toilet when they gave it to him.

    I admit that this was poorly-spent money. But I don't understand why so many fans blame Maybin. What was he supposed to do, say, "Thanks for the offer, Mr. Wilson, but your scouts were way off and there's no way I'm worth this much." ??

  5. I think the offense is playing better than last year. The defense is a huge disappointment. But the schedule this year is absolutely brutal. I'm not saying we'd be a playoff team with an easier schedule, but this schedule isn't helping matters any.

     

    The problem, as I see it, is that the past few years have been absolutely wasted by maintaining a team that would be 7-9 or 6-10. A true rebuild has never been done.

     

    I have always believed that it needed to get significantly worse before it had any chance of getting better. The Mularkey/Jauron years never got worse or better. They maintained a painfully mediocre team.

     

    I think it's being done correctly now, which is the other reason they are so terrible.

     

    I think, optimistically, we're 2 full years from going on the upswing and getting some serious wins. Realistically, more like 3 years.

     

    As long as they move in the right direction (not quantified by wins for the next couple years), I'm going to be far less frustrated than I was in years past.

     

    I think we need to give the Nix/Gailey regime a chance ... with a new defensive coordinator, though.

     

    Go Bills.

  6. HE'S THE TRUTH and HE'S GONNA WIN THE HEISMAN. JUST HOPE HE DON'T BUST LIKE A COUPLE OF OUR FORMER AND CURRENT BUCKEYES ALUM. FORGET LUCK, MALLET OR LOCKER. HE'S LIKE A TIM TEBOW WIT MORE SKILLs AND ALL THE LEADERSHIP QUALITIES.

    No effin way.

  7. I slam the Bills daily because of the terrible product that they have put on the field for the last decade, and the woefully inept mismanagement of a once-proud franchise conducted by our "front office".

     

    I am not blindly optimistic, and I predicted that the Bills would be the worst team in the NFL this year. I think Ryan Fitzpatrick is a below average NFL quarterback who will never lead a team to the playoffs.

     

    But yet here I am, sticking with them through the bad times. You don't need to be blind to be a fan. I watch their games (three cheers for the Internet saving us from blackouts), and hope for the best. But still, I expect the worst because if you watch enough football, you can recognize futility when you see it.

     

    If we are wise enough to correctly draft a franchise quarterback, I will be as happy as anyone when we return to NFL prominence. I'll tell stories about how bad it was to be a Bills fan during the "dark ages".

     

    But I guess I'm just a "dooshrat".

    This is one of those, "if the shoe fits," circumstances, so don't take my general comments/names personally. There's a difference between pointing out what's wrong with the team and downright slamming the team. I know Ralph isn't the best owner. I know Modrak is probably the biggest single problem this team has. I know Fitz isn't a legitimate starter.

     

    But I like to point out signs of hope and optimism, and it's not blind. I think the rebuilding is being done the right way at last. And I realistically believe that we won't even come close to .500 for at least another 3 years.

     

    But coming here, or talking to anyone, and simply saying - "the Bills suck and they're going to suck until Ralph dies, and even after that, they won't draft the right people ... blah, blah, blah." That doesn't do crap. And those kinds of people are the dooshrats.

  8. I was definitely one of the "Jets are overrated" guys. They look better than the Saints and the Colts ... maybe even looking like the best team right now. So I'll admit that I was wrong about the Jets.

     

    But what's with the "homer" crap?

     

    Why is it a bad thing to be optimistic about your favorite team?

     

    When the Bills get this rebuild done the right way, and they start winning games, all the dooshrats that slam them on a daily basis will be right there saying, "I stuck with them through the bad times." And that will be a load of sheet.

     

    I will be able to say it, and mean it. And it's going to feel effin great.
