If Brandon departs OBD he is finished in the NFL; can you cite factual sources that he is a respected marketing guy other than those on this board who express opinions? Marketing is winning - everyone wants to be part of a winner, to include those who can afford "NFL prices." And please don't reference Oakland as wanting Brandon, it's not factual! BLUF!!! 1999 - 2014!!! Nothing!!!

I do not buy the marketing abilities of Brandon, his brainstorm of the playing games in Toronto failed and the need for a complex marketing strategy is not required. In Buffalo, build a winner, a team constantly competitive and you have a successful marketing strategy. For years RW resisted paying for marketing until Brandon arrived and sold snake oil; as far as corporate box seat go, put a product on the field and they will sell. This teams drafts over the last decade are horrendous, poor coaching staffs, and lousy FA acquisitions for the most part. Buffalo fans are now giddy over a 9-7 finish despite getting beat by a 4-12 team with nothing to play for; yet no post season since 1999. Where else in the business world can you fail so consistently and remained employed? And now this circus is merely the culmination of this lost decade.

Good post! Interesting point!

Polian stated that he did not want long term role with Bills and his family did not want to relocate to Buffalo.

This thing in Philadelphia is getting wild, I'm fairly certain Chip Kelly is not coming to Buffalo but if he did I would sure as hell be happy.

Good post.

:thumbsup: This is an awesome post, you had me rolling. Thanks.

During the 1990's, veteran players wanted Buffalo; winning team, great environment, players liked Camp Marv in August and the fact he trusted you to condition yourself, and the team payed well. Jim Jeffcoat signed as FA from Cowboys was paid three million a year to rush the passer on 3rd down. Ted Washington came to Buffalo from Denver and was all world NT forever Bryce Paup signed from GB and was an all - pro This poll can change but we need a winning organization!!

it's getting deep!! Put your hip boots on!

Do you all honestly believe the Bills are a playoff caliber team?

Do not forget ESPN!

Post again December 2015!

I retired last January after 33 years in the army my friend, congratulations and thank you for your service. Enjoy life and get back to Buffalo for a game.

:thumbsup: Great post!! Lots of truth here, however, during the Levy era many FA's wanted Buffalo, winning franchise that paid its players and wanted Camp Marv in August. Money is what will get a quality GM here, then build a franchise known as a winner and first rate. Green Bay!

Do you still have the tape? The end of an era in many ways.

ha ha I was at that game, horrible ass kicking.

The 67 Raiders had Lamonica, WR Bill Miller (69 Receptions in 1964), Tom Keating, and Bill Laskey all starting - all former Bills.
