    All that said I never see Rex or Tyrod winning a super bowl or even getting there but I can see them getting to the playoffs soon. Point is if you clean house prepare for 3 more years of no playoffs.

    Don't tell me you'd be surprised to see that if those two produced 2 more 7-9 seasons.

    There's going to be 3+ years more right now. Clean house now so there isn't 6 more years of no playoffs.

    Like you were right about coaches not being much of a factor ? Rex vs. Schwartz proved you right?

    Sully could do it a little better if he used the compliment sandwich technique more. COMPLIMENT - CRITICISM - COMPLIMENT. Instead all his columns are CRITICISM - CRITICISM - CRITICISM. I have to admit that he hits on those criticisms more than he misses but man, it sure does get depressing. It's like being around that one co-worker who's never happy and complains all day.

    You're making me rethink what a ***** sandwich really is.

    1--Hire a head coach that wasn't a egotistical buffoon.
    2--Improve at QB.
    3--Improve the offensive line.

    2 (Taylor) and 3 (Incognito, Miller) were accomplished.

    Amazing how completely ****ing up #1 could have such disastrous results, isn't it?

    Re: TBN Sully on Lawson

    Sunday nights after the news on WGRZ does a sports talk show called "Sports Talk Sunday" which is a sports show like Sports Extra used to be and is sponsored by who else the Buffalo News and is hosted by Channel 2's Adam Benigini and is always joined in studio by Bucky Gleason and Jerry Sullivan and you think he writes bad columns in the BN just watch him on TV he's more negative when he's on television. Nagative Sullivan is unbearable to read and unbearable to watch.

    hine sight is 20/20 and if they had a do over I'm sure they hire Schwartz instead of the buffoon. your right all's they needed to do was improve the o-line and the QB position instead Rex said it up front, he said he was gonna go down his way and the process has started. the Bills will be lucky if they reach 7 wins this year.

    The problem is it isn't hindsight...they had a dominant defense, solid special teams, and decent talent at skill positions (except for the aforementioned QB) sitting in their laps, or handed to them on a silver platter in the Pegs' case. Not to mention the hired candidate already had on his resume driving one team into the ground. The facts were all there, even shlubs on a message board saw that.

    Re: TBN Sully on Lawson

    So he has a torn labrum. The main that that isn't known is where the tear is, and how severe of a tear it was. Two huge variables that have an impact on recovery time. Regardless, it's not a career threatening injury. So he misses some games.... there's a chance that any player can tear a labrum and miss games. We should pass on a potentially elite pass rusher because he might miss the first 6 to 8 games of his rookie season? Just relax....

    Hard to argue with the truth. Sure Sully is an insufferable *****. But that doesn't mean he's wrong. Specially on this one. This team gets NO benefit of the doubt with how bad they do year in and year out.

    I'll give even money that Lawson doesn't play more than 10 downs this year.
    Lehner's history. He just doesn't know it yet.

    Re: TBN Sully on Lawson

    so staying the course with a front office management team that hasn't changed in 16 years, needs another 2-3 years to get it right? that's the logic?

    Tear it down and every other team turns it around in 1-2 years. we are the only fanbase that constantly buys the 3 year rebuild nonsense

    We're one of the few teams that never manages to finish rebuilding the team before another part of it needs rebuilding again for whatever reason.

    Rebuilding usually restarts after a play-off run.

    We always have a run at the playoffs until mathematically eliminated.
