Optimists Sign in here.

I frankly like what the Bills are doing in the last couple weeks. They aren't standing pat like they always do and how the Realists always complain about.

2-14 PLEASE. 0-16 COME ON BE REAL...

Re: Optimists Sign in here.

i said six wins when camp opened and i say six wins now

so i guess that means im optimistic that the recent dramatic moves wont make them any worse

Re: Optimists Sign in here.

it's really, really tough to be optimistic right now...

but at 0-0, we're undefeated! GO BILLS!

Re: Optimists Sign in here.

10-6 until we have 7 losses I will stick by that prediction.

Re: Optimists Sign in here.

Who said 2-14 or 0-16? I honestly don't know how many they'll win, but I'm sure it won't be enough to get into the playoffs and anything besides playoffs is not good enough...IMO.

Re: Optimists Sign in here.

I was saying 11-5 now Im going 9-7 or 10-6. But Im always an optimist. Never think negative. LETS GO BUFFALO!!!

Re: Optimists Sign in here.

I wouldn't call myself an optimist. I still think Trent Edwards has some (mostly mental) issues with throwing long. I agree with you that the moves they made recently were the right moves. They were made, however, from a position of weakness. Turk Schonert was becoming a source of friction with the head coach and some discontent with the offensive players. It is not as if Dick Jauron suddently realized that Alex Van Pelt is an offensive genius with the ability to motivate players to be better than themselves. Walker was proving to be an inadequate left tackle rather than Bell suddenly proving he can play at a pro bowl level from the first game on.

It does not mean that the moves Buffalo has made are going to guarantee success. It means that the failure to make the moves was starting to look like a guarantee for struggle.

I think it is still possible that the Bills could end up being a very good team by the end of the season, but I suspect that the team will have to consider itself to be extremely fortunate if they can make it through the first part of the season without some major growing pains.

Re: Optimists Sign in here.

In the past I have always been optimistic...but this year there is little to hang on too...

That said, I do have hope and in the far back of my mind I can envision us beating the Patriots to start the season...I don't think a pessimist would ever see that happening.

Stranger things have happened. It is a game of inches.

Re: Optimists Sign in here.

I'm confident and optimistic that the bill will win 2 or 3 games this season.

Re: Optimists Sign in here.

I'm watching the game and hoping for a miracle. Is that optimistic enough.

PS. Most are saying 6 wins so I don't know where 0-2 wins came from.

I have seen it MANY times recently.

I have seen it MANY times recently.

Well that's a little crazy...I'd hate to think this team will be that bad!

You're making the faulty assumption that different is better. Given that these decisions are being made by the same morons who got us into this mess in the first place, there is no legitimate reason to believe that different will be better.
