If I gave you a reset button to fix Bills history, when would you press it and why.

[blackonyx89]

1. I have to say back in the 70s-80s when Ralph wasn't aggressive enough cranked out bad teams and didn't want to win and make them winners back then.

2. Any of the 4 Super Bowls and press it to win at least one of them.

3. When Terry and Kim hired Rex and fired any one associated with Ralph Wilson.

I'd like to hear what what you'd do!

Super Bowl XXV

I honestly think that a win there would've changed history for good.

Can't comment on anything before that since I was too young but there's gotta be some moment where getting rid of Ralph was an option.

Not hiring Rex is also a very tempting moment.

Wide right.

[Joe Fo Sho]

- Draft Favre
- When Jimbo retires start Favre
- Draft Brady in the 5th round
- Make Brady sit behind Favre
- Brady never plays because Favre is never hurt
- Damage Brady mentally like we do with all of our QBs
- Brady quits football to sell shoes
- Draft Rodgers just like the Packers did
- $$$

Outside of the obvious "win on of the 4 SBs", not fire Polian.

Russell Wilson over TJ Graham.

EDIT: Actually, earlier than that...I'd clue the Bills in on what the Titans had drawn up on the kickoff.

[Mr. Pink]

2006 NFL Draft 1st Round of Cutler and Mangold instead of Whitner and McCargo.

The past decade would have been A LOT different.

[Homegrown]

Reset the mascot ... no Billy Buffalo.

He 1st appeared in the 2000 season ... Bills haven't been to the playoffs since his creation.

[YardRat]

I'm at the point where I'd go all the way back to 1959 and the Orange Bowl would actually sign the lease with Wilson.

Can the rest button fix knees? Start with Simpson and add Shane Nelson and Jeff Nixon.

Have Bill Simpson intercept that pass to Smith and beat the Chargers in '80

Keep Smerlas on the team somehow for the early 90s superbowl teams. I think he helps solidify that middle and the Giants don't run so easily on us.

Trade for a kicker after the 89 season.

Never trade for Rob Johnson.

Kickoff deep.

[gebobs]

My reset button would have been broken by 1968.

[TacklingDummy]

2000 draft 7th round...instead of 194 Buffalo Bills Leif Olve Dolonen Larsen DE Texas-El Paso, I'd have picked 199 New England Patriots Tom Brady † QB Michigan

[chernobylwraiths]

Maybe this reset button could fix Ferguson's ankle for that Chargers game too.

The Polian fire was the most obvious mistake; and of course when Ralph decided that John Butler wasn't worth a salary commensurate with his position and fired him, and then took over the position himself. It's been all downhill ever since.

[Forward_Lateral]

I would go back in time and warn my adolescent self not to become a fan of this team.

[DraftBoy]

When was the team established?

[gebobs]

2000 draft 7th round...instead of 194 Buffalo Bills Leif Olve Dolonen Larsen DE Texas-El Paso, I'd have picked 199 New England Patriots Tom Brady † QB Michigan

Or Flowers in the 1st, Tillman in the 2nd, Moore in the 3rd, Black in the 4th.

First time I remember was when they let Chuck Knox leave after the wreckage of the 1982 strike season. I liked the Knox teams and thought we were steadily going somewhere.

Second time I honestly would have panicked when they hired Levy. He was lost, horrible and Wing-T at KC, too cerebrally full of himself in the booth, and I nearly self combusted when they inexplicably hired him (imho).

Third time would have been when Butler left in 2000. I don't think he wanted to be here anymore.

Fourth time hiring make pretend GM Levy who BrandonOverdorf hires a Jauron.

Fifth time when they hired a Rex, oh no, don't do it.....

#1: I hire Marty when he volunteered to coach this sorry team.
Then I sit back and enjoy the playoffs...

That still hurts me more than anything. For each mistake in drafting you can always argue that it might have not worked for us. Had we drafted Rodgers maybe he never developed in the QB he is now. Probably that is more likely than not. Same for all other drafting mistakes.
But that is not true for Marty. We would have been in the playoffs with him. That is a sure thing.
And don't give me the bull**** about his playoff record. Not his fault byner fumbled and the idiot CB did not kneel down.

This +10000000000000

Marty has been to the playoffs in like all but 3 seasons through his career. That was one of Ralph C Wilson's last **** yous to this team.
