What would it mean to you as a fan of the franchise if they reach that mark? For me personally, I would be impressed with the new coaching staff. Impressed with the ability to partially dismantle a team while fairing better than previous retread coaches who had more talent. I think it would show me just how dysfunctional all those previous regimes truly were, that a first time GM and coach can come in and have this that kind of success right away with just a "culture change". I would feel even worse about the Ralph Wilson years. I very much Respect Ralph Wilson for making sure the Bills stayed in Buffalo, but tbh, it's looking more & more like he was a terrible owner. Of course, if they lose the Jets game, it's "Same Old Bills"!

The optimistic fans seem to be more emotional, and need the "I told you so" moment more than some other fans. The problem I see is, the "I told you so" moment has not arrived yet

Wrong about what exactly? I'm on these forums to have fun, but it seems a lot of you are not here for the same reason lol. Sports are not meant to be taken so seriously. The attempt at sarcasm was to take a shot at myself and state I'm not wrong yet, but it seems so many of you are so full of hate, you can't possibly see it as that. "Negative" Bills fans are your enemy number one and must taken to the woodshed. Holy crap, it's Monday morning, calm the !@#$ down. As far as what the Bills have to prove to me before I feel they are a different franchise may be a higher bar than some of you, I'm not going to apologize for that.

So a pre-season prediction of 5-11 is pure irrational "negativity"? Is that how you see sports? And that's what I tried to be sarcastic about but was posting at like 5:30 AM and forgot the emoji and here we are, lmao.

Ah, respect comes in the form of website articles and clickbait, yes, this is what's wrong with society.

Safe? From what exactly? Are pre-season picks legally contractual in some manner? If that's the case the 11-5 homers of the last 17 years must be in serious debt.

How can you possibly know all this? And yes, the second time I commented that I didn't forget the smiley. You are like a political pundit with a judgmental agenda... Or are you just an irrational woman? You should apply for a position at MSNBC if the former. I would agree with this, but they are not even to the point where they are adding their talent... Wait a few drafts to see how it works out?

I thought it was pretty funny actually.

How did his career end? Please refresh my memory.

The greatest quality of the human condition is curiosity, not hope or faith. Hope & faith are for sheeple to be led around by the nose with.

Hope is irrational and unscientific. Like "faith", it has no place in modern culture.

Lets see what Flacco does. I don't recall what Trent Green did after his hit to the head.

It's not up to any of us forum warriors what happens, it's up to the owners, coaches & players. The facts are the facts, this Bills have had a recent history of crashing and burning. Is that a possibility for this season? Is that a more likely outcome than making a playoff run?

So now you are saying I am upset because the Bills are winning? My goodness you homers are like irrational crazy women... Have the Bills had early success anytime recently yet still missed the playoff's?

Then he wasn't cut out for the NFL, period.

I think that's what's wrong with ppl these days. "taking things" certain ways. Everyone is offended these days, pretty **** culture. If I wanted to state they would not win another game, I would have stated it...

Did I state they won't win another game this season? It was meant to have a smiley denoting the 5 win sarcasm, but still, you guys are putting text in my mouth.

What went wrong in 2011 was Fitz... It's that simple.

It's what homers do...

Well, a lot of teams try the culture change, it normally doesn't work this well, especially while you're making your high dollar players walk the plank. I don't yet know if this is a perfect storm due to league parity, or if McBeane really are this good.

Hmm, have you seen how the Saints have been playing?

Ah, I see I forgot to put a smiley emoji on my original post. No, I don't need my predictions to be right, they just have been the last couple decades... In no way do I want the Bills to lose so my pre-season picks are correct, that's silly. I'm not a gambler so I gain nothing in that scenario. I will say, that I am not yet convinced. I need to see this team actually beat the Patriots when it matters. When they beat Brady to win the division, my ears will perk up after about 20 years.

Normally, yep. If they beat the Jets Thurs, then I just might start to think this is not the Same Old Bills. I'm 44 years old, I need more convincing than the younger Bills fans.

So you mentally added a bunch of text to a post to make it better fit your perception, got it.

When? Please give me your source. I've never rooted for the Bills to lose or tank. Tanking doesn't work in the NFL like other sports. Picking the Bills to win 5 games before the season is rooting for them to lose??? When did this happen?
