I don't know maybe part of the problem is that the economy is in a cesspool. The population as a whole is not spending because they just don't know what the future holds. I think it would be a good idea for the uber fans who drive 500 miles to attend a game to support a huge surcharge on their tickets to pay for the stadium renovations instead of sticking the taxpayers in WNY with a 100 million dollar bill to pay for your entertainment. You guys are the "real" fans right? Maybe you should step up to the plate and show your commitment.

I hope that all the posters in this thread that are so quick to spend $100 million of the taxpayers dollars actually live in NY.

Why would anyone give a damn what Woody Paige has to say. He's all shtick. He's your crazy drunken uncle who embarrasses himself at the family party.

I heard Zoltan got injured making Tom Brady silky-smooth.

The Bills are definitely better than last season. No doubt about that. But I still want them to draft a QB in the 1st round next year. Sorry...couldn't resist.

Excellent move by the Sabres. This cost them nothing and the value it creates by generating goodwill in their fans is incalculable. The Bills should be taking notes.

He's a redshirt junior.

I don't know why this is so difficult to comprehend. The statement that he expects to go undefeated is the problem. Saying you expect to win every game is one thing but saying you expect to go undefeated is entirely different. That's a HUGE difference. I can't think of one NFL coach who would say such a thing. Expecting to go undefeated is lunacy. Now I don't think Gailey is crazy. So that leaves me to believe that the undefeated response was a line of coach speak B.S. And if that's the case everything before that is called into question also. What does he really think? Does he really believe the team will challenge for the division title and the playoffs? Who knows because he wraps up the comments with something so implausible you can no longer take the rest seriously. I'm sorry but words mean things and when you take the totality of that comment he's not really saying anything. NFL coaches are masters at talking a lot and not really saying anything.

OMG. A week one preview written by a Chiefs fan that actually favors the Chiefs. What an outrage. Who the hell does this guy think he is? They must be overdosing on Kool-aid in KC as well.

It's always been my understanding that the individual team is responsible for scheduling their preseason opponents.

I doubt the Bills will be fortunate enough to get Luck. But I'd be just fine with Matt Barkley or Landry Jones. Until the Bills finally address their need at QB and actually get it right they will be spinning their wheels. Fitzpatrick is an adequate stop-gap until the franchise QB arrives (hopefully next year). When the Bills do find that guy they will take a quantum leap to respectability in the league.

So what you're saying is that the Bills sucked, but they sucked in a good way.

That's not a fact and not something I'd be necessarily counting on. Coming into camp I was hopeful for around 6 maybe 7 wins. But this team seems way to unsettled for me. 4 or 5 wins seem more likely at this point. It takes a special kind of bad to be 0-16.

I hope you're right. I'll really get excited when the Bills find their Kelly.

Season yet to start Wheels already coming off Playoffs? Not this year

Overdorf cut Troy Vincent without informing anyone beforehand.

But this is the way it always has been. Occasionally competent football men run the organization (Saban, Knox, Polian). But the bean counters always undermine them and they are shown the door. Not surprising that with the last coaching search no legitimate choice wanted the job. That alone should tell you what the rest of the NFL thinks of the Bills operations

Do you know Snooki?

I know what you mean. Isn't it enough abuse just being a Bills fan?

Maybe if it was a sheet cake.

If the Bills had Peyton Manning I wouldn't worry over the preseason either. Instead the Bills trot out a back-up QB to start for the team. Coming into camp I thought the Bills had a shot at about 6 wins. So far they look to have regressed from last year.

The optimists state in this very thread Nix knows the o-line is bad and shouldn't we all realize it takes several years to rebuild. But then I recall this little gem from a little more than a month ago. "You know, if a guy comes available that we think can upgrade us, we’ll do it, said Nix. He added "I think that the offensive line has been beat to death. Somebody writes that we need this or somebody says it, and then it goes around, we’ll see. We think we’ve got better players than you guys and maybe the fans think we have." So I'm left with this question. Did Nix really have faith in this poor excuse for an o-line and is just now realizing how much still needs to be done. In which case I question his ability to analyze talent. OR Was he just blowing smoke up our back ends. In which case I'm left to question the veracity of the front office when dealing with their fans.

I didn't want the Bills to draft him when he came out and am not really too interested in him now. Anything more than a 7th round pick would be a waste. I think he is very limited in what he can do and isn't an answer for a team looking for a QB.

2011 "We think we’ve got better players than you guys and maybe the fans think we have." (Buddy Nix) Since a haiku was requested: New season brings hope Reality sets in hard Same ‘ol Bills again

This is where the saying "A fool and his money are soon parted" comes from.
