I said a while ago that I was finished caring about the Bills, and done wasting my time posting about them, and I basically am. But I have watched a few agonizing games since then - not expecting much, and therefore not being that disappointed with the excruciating losses - and have come to a very simple conclusion.
We spend mega-hours discussing and arguing about Fitz and Gailey, Nix and Ralph, our inexperienced cornerbacks, pedestrian wide receiver corps, mediocre linebacking, injuries to the offensive line and elsewhere, and the minutia of individual games - should Wilson have made that interception, etc., etc.
But the reason I have given up on the Bills is that no team has ever won anything with the lethal combination of a totally incompetent head coach and an equally lousy quarterback, which is exactly what we have. No matter what happens at any other position on the field, the sidelines or the front office, we will never win consistently with Gailey calling the shots and Fitz executing them. NEVER.
Sadly, we have had a series of mediocre head coaches and quarterbacks for many, many years now, since the era of Kelly and Levy. We have 13 years of futility, 13 years without a single playoff appearance, to show for our ever changing, yet consistently horrible, combinations of HCs and QBs.
If and when we hire a top flight head coach and acquire - via draft, trade, or free agency - a real quarterback, I will once again be interested in watching the team I have loved for 53 years. Until then - since there is no hope - I will try to stay emotionally disconnected from an organization that appears to have no collective clue as to how to make things better.
I applaud you guys and ladies for continuing to care about the Bills. I simply can't do it until we make major changes at the two positions that control every NFL teams' destiny.
