    Need to make a very big move to get in an experienced GM.

    Not many of them want to come to Buffalo.

    Perhaps $15M per year would lure them here.

    Who?

    Week 1 will deal some reality to a few peoples faces when Cutler throws the ball over Soldier Field to Marshall and Jeffrey while the Bears put up 30+

    And we watching the spurting KneeJ throw for 150 yards while going 20 for 38

    The problem is that Brandon and Littman are part of the trust interviewing these people. So they are certainly going to look for a candidate who will keep them aboard.

    It's messed up.

    This is BS. The Bills will be sold to the highest bidder.

    And who does not think that will be Pegula?

    Better Days are ahead.

    I am with you & if this team is not at least 8-8, Heads need to roll.

    Where is the hope?

    Brown fans next year will have Johnny Football in his 2nd year, the return of Gordon and probably 2 top 5 draft picks.

    They can live through a bad year this year because there is light at the end of the tunnel.

    All we got is more darkness.
    Don't forget Dareus and Spiller becoming FA.

    I think Dareus has another year after this year.

    Spiller said he expects to sign a new contract before the season ends.

    We will see.

    Same thing you said last year.

    Where is this great roster of player talent that your cousin Buddy left us?

    Like you he is an incompetent old fool.

    You guys seem to be a little down on the team's chances

    I believe Dareus has an optional 5th year that he can opt out of?

    No it was a team option that was exercised.

    Last year I said if the Bills finish with less than 6 wins, Marrone should be fired.

    You are a TROLL.

    Of course he will.

    Then all of the EJ apologists can say his "light went on on that final drive!"

    What happens in the alternate universe the bills actually beat the Bears.

    The bears defense is not what is was last time we played and Cutler is far from Peyton or Pretty Boy Tom.

    That may be so, but BUF's heavy use of starters during the pre season didn't go unnoticed around the league. IRC, the BUF starting offenses failed to score a single touchdown. That's a hard thing to do, but they did it.

    The CHI defensive staff have the films and will try to exploit what the ps competition did so successfully.

    I think there are like 2 people here who think that. There isn't a single person I know out of this forum who thinks that is a reality as well, unless of course EJ pulls some magic skills out of his ass.

    In reality, who cares? Whatever will be will be. I have no faith that this team will go 8-8 or better, so whatever. What's the point what people think? They will do whatever they do, who cares if a couple people want to be positive about it? I just don't get the constant necessity of people to jam "how can you be positive about this team" in people's faces over and over. It's just ****ty.

    Either way, it's my fault guys. I finally moved back to Buffalo and got seasons and this was pretty much inevitable. Sorry!

    I doubt EJ gets 38 attempts. Bills will run the ball all day. Cutler may be forced to go n a panic mode throwing the ball.
