Do you like Buffalo food?

Do you like your relatives?

Dog?

Are you really questioning my negativity towards a franchise that has missed the playoffs for a decade and a half?

Seriously why would I feel otherwise about them?

You are grossly misreading here. We love Buffalo, and want to see them succeed. That's why it hurts so much to see them do what they are doing. It's like watching your drug addict brother refuse to get help.

I actually like the new Bills GM . He is well thought of around the league as well.

You both come off like it doesn't matter what Buffalo sport teams do, you will find something wrong with them!

I like the direction both clubs are finally heading:
Doug Whaley
Tim Murray

Enjoy it boys, life is to short!

When they start showing results, I will stop complaining. We invest a lot in these teams both monetarily and emotionally. There's absolutely nothing wrong with demanding greatness from both and accepting nothing less.

That's a lame schedule. Of course we finish at New England. Wouldn't be a Bills season if we didn't lose the final game 56-6

- sbroads24


And did not pick him at 8 traded down to 16, got an extra pick for doing that . You can hardly pass judgement on EJ - he was a rookie and hurt for 6 games . It is not like he was drafted #1. There is a learning curve coming from College to pro . Things move a lot faster.

Actually it's the opposite, we are critical of everything they do or don't do, because they have proven they don't know how to win.

It's the people that blindly support every decision they make that make me feel the way I do about some of our fellow "fans"

The Bills need to be held accountable for being god awful for 15 straight years. If that means me not going to games any longer... whatever

Considering half their starters won't be playing that game we might have a chance!

The Bills have the longest current playoff drought going, possibly ever? The Sabres just fielded the worst team since 1936. They are both as bad as can be. I will never understand where guys like you find the optimism year after year. You must really dig deep!

Wrong - Buddy was still GM and stepped down after draft. Buddy always said he wanted to get a QB of the future.

Now it's all Whaley's team!

Whaley wanted Manuel. He also navigated the trade down.


If they don't go 8-8 or better they need to fire him and Marrone. No more "building"

You are Wrong sbroads, it was Nix. Sorry, but you were wrong! Nix wanted Manual, along with Marrone and Whaley

Whaley's team now.

Think again

"New general manager Doug Whaley isn't shy about taking ownership of the pick"

If that were true, there would be no question the Bills would be drafting a quarterback in the first round this year, especially in a year where quarterback is so deep.

You said Whaley was GM, you were wrong. Nix was still the GM was my point!

It's ok to be wrong once in a while!

Whether he had held the title on a sheet of paper or not is irrelevant. Manuel was Whaley's pick. Manuel's success or failure falls on him, not Nix or anybody else.

No, I said Whaley was the one that picked Manuel. Which he did.

Nix "stepped down" after the draft. It was Whaley's picks, everyone knows that.
