Well since we are facing the Texans I wanted to say a couple of things and ask a question. The Question: As a GM how does it feel to know that your fans hope you win but EXPECT you to lose? I mean not very many people at all think the Bills will beat the Texans. Not at the home this year, and not with the way our team is playing. There's only 1 other team I can think of that really knows how it feels to be EXPECTING to lose. And that was the Lions. When they went a whole season without winning one game! Imagine how that last game felt. EVEN THERE FANS WANTED THEM TO LOSE! And now your a GM on a team that is not producing anymore wins than when you started. So you go and try to do some damage control.
Your owner tells your fans to wait 3 years and you will have a winning team. That hasn't happened. You spend HUGE money on a QB that since signing his contract has not stayed consistent so you say you wont leave till you have a franchise QB. Did you see that bus Buddy just threw Fitz under? Ouch! Then Buddy for some reason has the nerve to blame the fans?!! He said in his interview that they changed coaches every 3 years to appease the fans. So with that said it seems that we shall keep our HC. Our QB will stay and all we need to do is get our D up to speed and the fans can shove it.
Well I say this.
You don't want to appease your fans? The one's that pay your salary, the ones that fill the stadium on game day, the one's you ask to "Lead the Charge!" That's a big target you put on yourself the Buddy.
But since you are a straight shooter Buddy, I'll straight shoot as well.
The only thing the Bills fans have wanted is a team that wins and is considered a contender! That make the playoffs year after year. That are not looked at as the underdogs all the time! A team that when they are looked at on a schedule are not looked at as a easy win. A team they can REALLY be proud of! Don't ask your fans to sacrifice everything for you and give nothing back! That goes for the owner too! Ralph had the idea to make the Buffalo Bills. Its the fans that have kept it going! Yea we fans would love to grab all manners of players and throw caution to the wind to get our team to the super bowl. But if you do not appease your fans at some level they will go elsewhere and you will be out of a job and there will not be a team!
If you like Chan so much get a different head coach and put Chan as the OC, You back Fitz so much but want to draft a QB, The get rid of Thigpen! and have that spot open for him to come in and learn. You want the defense to get up to par, Don't go and resign a player you didn't want in the first place! (Merriman) If the fans were allowed by the NFL to own a piece of the team like in green bay you bet the fans would buy in! The fans have made the Bills what they are! We spend our hard earned money to help fund the dream of having a championship team! Our voice better matter!
