BuffaloBillsForever Posted December 12, 2016 Author Share Posted December 12, 2016 Contrary to the opinion of alot in here we do not by any means have a talented roster. Our roster reflects or record which at best is mediocre. I know it is easier to believe we are a simple coaching change away from playoffs but we are not. Like an Alcoholic we need to hit rock bottom as a franchise and accept what we are before the healing can begin. The Pegs need to clear cut this thing and be the only 2 standing on Jan 3rd. Then and only then can the healing begin. Oh and in todays NFL with the parity we can be a playoff team in a couple years so dont thing burning it to the ground means another 10 years.

Dirtbag Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 (edited) it always amuses me when fans admiringly refer to brandon as a marketing genius. basically, it's as if they're saying, "this guy is so smart he's managed to fool us all into thinking that this garbage product they put on the field year after year is actually entertainment."

Fadingpain Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 (edited) Keep Brandon completely out of the HC hiring process. The scope of his involvement, history, and standing within the organization precludes that from being viable.

DriveFor1Outta5 Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 Â Whats scary is that the Pegulas transition into ownership made the EXACT same mistakes with the Sabres as they have now with the Bills. Â I really don't have confidence in them as owners. Â I don't like idea of czars either but the Bills are such an incompetent organization, it probably is the right course of action. Totally agree. I'll have confidence in them as owners once I have reason to be. Sometimes I honestly worry that they have their hands in too many things right now. I dislike like the czar idea as well, but with the Pegula's inexperience it may be the best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IronyAbounds Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 Both franchises have a lot in common. Time for somebody to wake the f up Why anyone would assume the Pegulas have a clue about running a sports franchise is beyond me. It is completely different than the fracking business. One reason you have so many lousy sports franchises is that most are owned by rich know-it-alls who don't find good football/baseball/hockey minds to run their companies. The fact the Pegulas were snookered by a clownish buffoon like Ryan is that they really have no clue what it takes to put together a good football team. It's all very sad.

Nihilarian Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 (edited) Some of us have had this same opinion of Brandon that Tim Graham has and every time we voice it the same few people come out to shoot it down. I've come to the conclusion that either they are on Brandon's payroll or have friends that are... or what better way for a marketing man to control the fan base, but with disinformation. Â Dunno how many of you know this poster but he is a known insider at OBD who has have insight into many of the workings in the Bills FO! Somehow the guy is made of Teflon and he supposedly hasn't had a voice in anything. Â Leroi, Â "Russ has a big part in scouting and the draft process. He is definetly involved.The guy is a sports genius, we are lucky to have him as the president of Buffalo sports. Remember he was our GM not that long ago. Imo " Â Even if you don't believe Tim graham, Leroi or others that have said they know of Brandon's involvement in football decisions. He was in the Bills cut room meetings on the phone to free agents! He is involved on the football side. Russ Brandon was the one who convinced these new owners that they had the needed football acumen to know who to pick as their head coach. "they would know who to hire after they spoke with all the candidates" Edited December 12, 2016 by Nihilarian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DCbillsfan Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 I must admit this article was very well written and arguably the most comprehensive and detailed description of the past 20 years of Buffalo Bills futility. This article depressed me more than any of the losses during the Ryan era. Yet Tim Graham I believe is correct. The whole thing needs to be torched. Even if he does burn it all down, does Pegula have the real brains to run an NFL team? Hire a true experienced NFL man to be GM and stay the hell out of his way!

Formerly Allan in MD Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 He knocks it out of the park. Changing a coach is foolish. All these failures are a pattern and it will continue until the right moves are made. Why isn't changing our loser of a coach a right move? What's foolish is being satisfied with the status quo.
