Miami got Culpepper and the Jets are likely to get Leinart. It's over, forget about, there is NO WAY we can be competative this year in our conference. I don't care if we finish again this year 5-11 again. Lets be honest here, Miami is at least twice as good as the Bills now, the Jets will be extremely good once Leinart is in town, and the Patriots.....we you know. Levy even said we are going to rebuild this team. It going to be hard on fans to see us not do good this year but we are basically going into seclusion like the Bengals did for 2 years and look at what happened to them last year. They made the playoffs.
It seems like Buffalo fans like myself and others get way too overconfident and expect this team to make the playoffs every year. Yes we have a very long drought of not making the playoffs, but that is because we don't let this team rebuild. Lets just get one this straight, if we don't make the playoffs this year which is all but inevitable, lets not put the blame on the coaches, or Jauron, or Levy. And in the end fire our HC and have to rebuild this team all over again. Look at these team that made the playoffs over the past years. They were teams that were absolutely awful in the late 90s, but given time to bond with there HC and GM over several year the team came together and made the playoffs/superbowl. Like the Patriots (bad in the late 90s but good after a few years with Belichick as the HC. And the fans SUPPORTED this. Look at what happened to team after turn of the millenium. We need to do the same.
It will be hard but we need to support this team more even when this team is doing bad. It's not all going to come together like that in one year. Everything about this team is NEW. Our GM, HC, Assistant coach, and players. So if this team does miss the playoffs again the fans got to stop blaming everyone in this organization for the bad season and live with it for however long it take to rebuild this team. Right now this team coaching staff is perfect. Jauron is a very good HC, and we got Marv back with this team at a new position in his career (which may take a few years to get used to since he was our former HC and left the NFL for some time.) So this year and possibly next year we need to start saying these words in our head and start rebuilding this team. FORGET ABOUT THE PLAYOFFS.
