Let the meltdown begin.

I like a ginger/bourbon marinate with scallions & garlic, then on the grill. Ginger has anti-nausea properties, and that is required when dealing with the dolphins. They make most of us want to vomit. Bourbon ... well the purpose of that goes without saying.

Jerry Sullivan is obsessed with failure. He won't know what to do if the Bills succeed. I don't know the guy personally, but hearing him and reading him makes me think he's a major douchebag.

My church is chasing a little white ball around a nicely manicured patch of grass. So yes, I'll be going to church Sunday morning.

Maybe!

Um, no. King is NOT a Bills fan. He's a Pats fan, though.

Meh, he is what he is. He was an ill-advised pick by an administration who is no longer here. I have it on good advisement that it was DJ who really wanted him, and DJ is now gone. The good news is the current admin owes him nothing. The guy either produces or he's gone.

To all those who want to lose lots of games, I would like to offer a different perspective. Yes, you get a high draft pick, but you also become less attractive to free agents. Free agents want to go somewhere where they are trending up, not hitting bottom. Not only that, since draft picks are a crap-shoot, a high draft pick that doesn't work out can hamstring a franchise for a long time. Take Mike Williams for example. He should have been a cornerstone, but he's just a wasted pick for us. I'll take 7 wins, thanks.

Sorry to see you go, but I can understand why you would. There's lots of people who probably don't have the perspective you do, and lots of people who may come across as callous when talking about players, myself included. If I was a player or player's relative, I'd never use my own name. Go Bills!

I really can't argue with any of these negative reviews of the Bills. The fact is that although the Bills have pockets of talent, going back years the Bills have drafted poorly. You can't waste 1st round picks like the Bills have and expect to do well. If you blow a first round pick, the impact is felt for years. McCargo, Losman, Mike Williams, Bledsoe (1st round pick) were all wastes. Even if one of those players turned into a pro-bowl player the Bills would have a better foundation to build on. Instead, it will take years to overcome those issues. So this is clearly a rebuilding year. I would be happy with 6 wins, given we see some growth of our players and start to see some star power out of a few more players.

I like the way spiller runs, but let's not get ahead of ourselves, sparky. The key word is preseason.

As far as I'm concerned, the refs owe us 10 years of good calls. They deserve to be heckled. "Just give it to them!", ejecting Tasker in '97, non-calls on Wilfork and other crap drives me crazy. Screw them and boo them.

Why the hell do you would you ever boo someone who you want to succeed? Seriously, who here would be upset if Edwards turns it around and turns into a good QB? I wouldn't, and that's what I'm rooting for. Booing players on your own team is really stupid. REALLY stupid. I only boo players on opposite teams, because soon as a player puts on a Bills uniform I want them to succeed.

Brilliant. I have been known to bomb a 310 yard drive straight down the middle. If I used your reasoning, I could play on the PGA tour.

This is really a rebuilding year. It is a year we expect to see glimpses of the future. Those expecting a marked improvement because we changed schemes will be disappointed. 4 wins is reasonable. 6 would be great.

OMG, you are the best.

So they have low revenue, but they also have no debt load? Usually those things cancel out each other. BTW - they also have low non-football expenses and their revenue from Toronto is guaranteed no matter how many seats are sold. Sorry, man, your argument isn't really holding water.

A football market that is no longer big enough to support a team? You mean the one that sells out every game? I should have stopped reading there. What an ill-informed moron.

Um, no. He is.

I'll be Maybin's biggest fan if he plays like a 1st round pick.

Word.

I don't think the burden of proof lies on us. It lies on you to prove it is.

I don't know anything about the chat, and wasn't commenting on that. I was commenting on my opinion of Jerry Sullivan, which was formed over years of reading his stuff and listening to him.

John, I know it is in bad form to trash people in your field, but Sullivan is on the same talent level as Bob Matthews. There's some really good ones out there (including you) so I disagree with the previous poster's generalization about "our journalists", but ugh. Sullivan. Ugh.

Sully is nothing more than a weenie with a keyboard. If you think of it that way, his behavior doesn't really bother you because it is so true.
