Over the past 12 years, every time a new and obviously inept coaching staff was hired many argued that we should reserve judgement and give them the benefit of the doubt. So Did giving the Bills FO the Benefit of the Doubt make a difference?

Re: Giving Bills FO Benefit of the Doubt
If the fans didn't give this team the benefit of the doubt we'd have the longest blackout streak in football. Don't blame the fans for having hope. Without fan support it would be a no brainer to move them once Ralph croaks.Last edited by kingJofNYC; 11-25-2012, 06:36 PM.

Re: Giving Bills FO Benefit of the Doubt
No matter how you approach it as a fan, being a realist vs homer, it will not give or take away any wins.
As for putting fans in the seats I think there are two ways to look at it.
1) Bad Team with homer fans = more sold out games = more $$$ = Bills Stay in Buffalo but no incentive to improve bad team
2) Bad team with realistic fans = more pressure on FO to make changes = Bills improve = more sold out games
3) Good team = more $$$
Best option is #3, however you can not get to number 3 without first going from 1 then to 2. You have to realize that the team has issues before you can decide to improve. If the team and fans oscillate between stage #1 and #2 (improvement) it eventually disheartens the fan base and only the most loyal and homeristic fans stick around. However if you want to have a huge fan base, you have to be a winner and that is the best model for making money and keeping the team in NY.Please Make Sense

Re: Giving Bills FO Benefit of the Doubt
I'm starting to wonder if Chan is the right guy. I like his message, but I feel he's just too one sided and with the play calling responsibility etc., perhaps the best role may indeed be an OC. The last two games, I get the distinct feeling on offense that he was overwhelmed.
I don't like a wholesale change, AGAIN. But if there is a more established managing role HC willing to come in not changing too much offense and defense philosophy, I'm all for it.
I want to point out that the job should be more attractive than they were 3 years ago because the talent is higher than they were then. They need a big breakthrough in QB though.

Re: Giving Bills FO Benefit of the Doubt
It's hard to say anything about Chan. I said the same thing about Dick Jauron. These guys need tools they don't have. The problem is we are never giving the coaching staff the benefit of the doubt and always giving the front office the benefit of the doubt. As far as I'm concerned I respect Chan. He does what he believes in. If we had a QB this team would be winning right now Fitz is not able to make the plays except for on occasion. Why don't we have a different QB? The problem with this organization is Russ Brandon I'm convinced of it. He's too business oriented which is great on the business side...but it's ruined the football side. Ralph wilson was always an emotional decision maker...but along with that he got emotional about winning and could hit on some really great things sometimes. He's out of it now and trusting Brandon to keep the team stable. Well stable does not include a winning culture ...

Re: Giving Bills FO Benefit of the Doubt
this team is way better to watch and has a ton more pieces then the last regime.
im not saying a pass forever but chan does need one more year.
and i do believe buddy has done a nice job as the GM. both of our lines are competitive. in fact i think our O line is very good and with a real D coordinator we would be saying the same thing about the D line.
give chan a qb and a new d coordinator and he will be fine.
