      This does not look very promising I must admit. I'm feeling embarrassed at how excited I was for this season. Marrone is a tool....BTW.

        Marrone just sounds so defeated in the after game press conference.

        He should have stayed in Syracuse.

          I think we will do well to match last year's 6-10 record.

          I assume we will get thumped by a high scoring Bears team in the Opener. Our O can't keep up.

          It is the Home Opener that is the key to whether this season becomes an absolute disaster. If we lose to the Dolphins, I can see a 3-13 or 4-12 season as we spiral out of control.

          The new owner will need to fire everyone and start from scratch.

          This is one bad football team.
          You're obviously a troll.

              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?

                    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.

                        The boos are a culmination of the poor play for this team over the last 15 seasons and not solely based on this year's squad. Quite frankly I think people are over stressing how "bad" we are. Time will tell but I stand by my thoughts this team will be 8-8 or better this season.

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

                              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.

                                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.
