  1. Didn't the Lions go 0-16 one year? Look at all those playoff and Super Bowl wins since!

    They made the playoffs 3 years later. The Dolphins went 1-15 in 2007 and then 11-5 the next season. My point is Id rather suffer through the embarrassment of going 0-16 one year with a chance of really improving versus continuously being 6-10 year in and year out

  2. I was the type of fan in the past that was real happy winning any game. Games like the 2009 snow storm Week 17 against the Colts, week 17 in 2012 against the Jets, week 17 in 2014 against the Pats, and week 16 in 2015 against the Cowboys. This was because I couldn't stand those teams and it would still make me happy seeing the Bills win. I never liked purposely tanking. But I mean at this point I'd rather just see a 0-16 season then continuously spin our wheels at 6-10/7-9.

  3. Well I'm sure you can find highlights from that game on YouTube but maybe not the whole game itself. Andy Provin is very very good at posting Bills stuff. You may want to check his channel there. I don't think the whole game will be on his channel but he posted a lot of times the ESPN highlights from the season with Chris Berman. You may be able to see some of it there for 1990

  4. How is this like 2012?

     

    In your opening sentence, you suggest there were a lot of high expectations in 2012.

     

    Where are the high expectations this year?

     

    We look squarely like a 4-6 win team.

    Maybe I overacted a wee bit writing this. However, there was the belief in the offseason McDermott would enforce more discipline than Rex and would go back to the 4-3 defensive system that worked. Since we won 7 games last season, I thought all the offense would have to do is stay status quo and we could be looking at a 10 win playoff team.

  5. I remember in 2012 there was a lot of high expectations for the team but it became one of the most forgettable seasons in recent memory. I myself was pretty optimistic that year. Similarities I already see:

     

    -The Bills were 0-4 in 2012 in the pre-season so far were 0-2. I know it's pre-season but I remember saying it that year as well.

     

    -In the QB spot Fitz looked shaky that whole pre-season just like Tyrod does now

     

    -Back in 2012 I remember somewhere in Buffalo they were at the time burning all things that reminded us of the years 1999-2012 such as Drew Bledsoe and Lynch jerseys. In the same way this year feels like were cleansing ourselves from Rex & Marrone.

     

    -In 2012 the first game was against the Jets. In 2017 the first game is against the Jets as well. The outcome was ugly in 2012 and I still consider it one of the worst games of the drought.

     

     

    Look I really really hope I'm wrong and everyone can get some good laughs at my expense at the end of the year. But based on the pre-season that year I'm not feeling too good.

     

     

  6. Really hope the reason they didn't make a deal with the Yanks for Bruce was because they were afraid of being embarrassed this week. We stink, this series couldn't be much worse!
