Yup. Small town politics/police.

Well, it's not like he's going to ruin our playoff chances if he sucks. Let's see what he's got at this level. I was at the final preseason game this year when he was in net, and it was ugly -- real ugly. I'm talking something like he let in 5 goals on 20 shots and we weren't even through the 2nd period yet. Crowd was getting on him too. GMTM loves the guy, and I have some faith in him, but my expectations are low. I'm more interested to see how (if?) he improves over the course of the season.

After getting dumped in public, it'll be a loooooong time. They're still in the "Facebook stalking" and "wishing terrible things" phases.

How big do you want this circus?

Sounds like he was just drunk and stoned and they didn't want to arrest him. Meh.

That's hysterical. "12th GM of the Buffalo Bills!" "First Winning Season (9-7) since 2004!" Jordan Gay is considered a "Diamond in the Rough"

Hmmm. Gronk missed practice today as well with no explanation.

Unless he's going to put the pads on..../yawn

It was pretty silly to have 2 DB coaches, I never understood why that was necessary. Of course, letting the better one go is a classic Bills move.

It means he hasn't learned to stop running his mouth.

I'd be willing to be bet money that it's absolutely not an LA team. The league isn't proud of having to relocate a franchise, plus it can be perceived as a slight to the fans that just lost their team. I think the fans' thought process on this is a little bit backwards. I'd say we are the heavy favorites. Hard Knocks in Rochester '16 -- get your tickets early!

It really is that simple.

I have a strong suspicion that they both know this, and are trying to pad their retirement accounts as much as possible.

It will mute any lame-duck talk, but you're fooling yourself if you think his job is secure.

We already have two defensive backs coaches -- hey, let's try two defensive line coaches!

What a meltdown. Wow.

I think your research methodology needs an overhaul.

Maybe some of the people on this board that consider themselves experts on salary cap management should take a look at some of the other rosters in the NFL. If you did, you would quickly see that by comparison, the Bills have done very poorly with their spending. This doesn't necessarily mean the Bills are in cap trouble. But hey,venting outrage at any perceived criticism has become the hallmark of this fanbase.

24 hours into the offseason and we have to pretend that this is a team "on the rise" lol

Man that last goal was soft.

Ohhh I don't know, maybe selling a home game to another city for profit for 5 years? I already know what the short-sighted reply is to that. "One game wasn't going to make a difference for those teams." Yeah, right. I changed my mind, the Stockholm Syndrome for a level 5 Scientologist has nothing on a member of the Church of Brandon. He's the Teflon President. Seven years as CEO/President and he can't be held accountable for anything that happens to the team? Maybe he is a genius. Ahh well, Happy New Year.

Absolutely.

I don't think he's the major problem holding us back, but he's certainly not helping. He's the President of the team. That's his title. He has influence on what happens with regard to the GM and Coach, who in turn are responsible for what happens on the field. Russ "don't let him leave the room" Brandon seems like a nice enough guy, but it was time to move on years ago. I don't think blaming the guy with the title of President is unfounded.

A few weeks ago someone on here joked that some fans suffer from Buffalo Bills Stockholm Syndrome. There's no greater example of that than the Brandon apologists. There's no talking to them either, it's like trying to deprogram a Level 5 Scientologist. Oh, and you left out his role as architect of the Toronto series. Remember the competitive edge that gave us?
