    Unfortunately, I'm still here...

    Normally it takes me a few weeks after our season ends for me to begin to believe that next year will be different.

    But even now... I feel a sense of complete dismay that next year will likely be the same or even worse than this past year.

    I sure hope Free Agency and the Draft change that...

      NO, if the Bills don't make the playoffs, you can rest assured Jauron will be canned, so at least that will change.

        That was said going into this season as well.

            I'm not as pessimistic as years past. I am upset about watching Gandy, Ngata, and Bunkley playing well.

            The Bills have made their share of mistakes. Hopefully Edwards, Evans, Lynch, Jackson, Stroud, Poz and a few others are enough to build around and get us over the hump.

            FA is going to be huge for this team. Maybe the most important one ever.

              I'm confident they've actually been building and will continue to build. I hope they are close to putting the finishing touches on next year. I expect the team to be better. Still think it's largely dependent on QB play though. That and some playmakers on defense. I don't care what defense you are running you need playmakers.

                I'm usually the ultimate optomist in the offseason, but I too feel pessimistic about the Bills future even beyond 2009.

                If cash to cap is not thrown out the window there is less then 0 hope IMO.

                  Look on the bright side Pride. The Jets just signed Rex Ryan. Turk offensive mind should easily dismantle Rex's D unit

                    I also am not optimistic about next year with RW as owner and country club Dick running the show. I see no reason why next year will be any better. They have a much harder schedule next year so 7-9 will be very difficult based on nothing really changing to make this team better.
                    In order to get better the first step is change in ownership and front office. That did not change so we will see a few different faces but in the end the Bills will be on the couch for the playoffs next year.

                      these responses made me think and I should change mine a little. I think there is a chance we might get some luck and have an exciting season and make the playoffs. I also think there is a zero chance we will truly become a franchise to be reckoned with while RW is alive. Since I don't expect that I'm not going to be disappointed when it doesn't happen.

                        This is the most unmotivated i have ever been as a Bills fan, Ever since the Toronto embarressment i listed to our owner say we just dont have the talent, and we were 20-25mil under the cap, i just couldnt even phathom how he could say that
                        I predict 5-11 DJ getting fired by the 4th game and April as the HC,
                        i also predict Malcom Jenkins at 11 CB at OSU
                        the only way we get any loaylity back is a huge splash in FA and that wont happen with the same regime, also media brainwash time, get ready for the sell of the 50th Anniversary crap
                        these are sad days to be a fan boys and girls
                        this team is a joke

                          Re: Unfortunately, I'm still here...

                          I will always be a Bills fan...

                          That said, I'm really disenchanted with the team, and this really could be a backbreaker year for me. As it is, I'm pretty broken as a fan, and not optimistic at all about the coming season. But if the Bills stand pat (or make a few measily pickups), while the Jets go out and get Ryan, New England continues to retool and be aggressive with the likes of Belichick, Brady, and Moss, and the Dolphins continue to be aggressive, I may just tune out the Bills. How much can a fan take?

                          I mean, there are proven winners out there... Shanahan, Gruden, etc., and RW is content to sit back with Dick Jauron and guys like Russ Brandon (a bean counter) running the team, of which they gave Jauron an extension early in the season before the Bills completely collapsed, to NFL historic proportions.

                          Oh sure, the Bills will go out and overpay Melvin Fowler or Robert Royal type, but are they going to go after someone like Whoseyermama who would seriously upgrade the offense? We all know that answer.

                          It's pathetic, and as fans, I don't know how much more we can handle. I know I'm getting to the breaking point.

                          Note, this is not a "I'm threatening to not watch the Bills anymore, so everyone pay attention to me" post, it's merely the truth, as posted be fellow fans on this thread that I'm just getting sick of the same old crap from this broken organization.

                            typo talks as if the other teams in this division alone are not building to get better. All of which are already way ahead of us.

                              this team has been re-building for 10 years.......when does it end and when is enough, truly enough. The whole team makes me sick right now and next year is gonna be worse.
