I think these next 2 games will determine the future of the organization.  If we win both buddy, chan and fitz will all be back with a rookie QB holdong the clipboard.  If we get blown out in both games.  I think Russ Brandon will clean house and get rid of all of them.  Getting rid of chan is not good enough, since no competent coach will want to work for buddy. We are facing 2 rookie QB in the next 2 games and if we get blown out by both change will happen.  We can only hope and pray.

First of all, Russ Brandon isn't making any football decisions.  He's the marketing guy.

Second, being blown out in both games would signify bigger problems than the coaching staff -- I don't want quitters on this team, and neither should any Bills fan.

I believe the die has already been cast, and the results of these games are meaningless aside from draft position.  There's plenty of film for Buddy to see that Fitz can't lead this team to the promised land, Chan is in over his head with respect to handling both the playcalling and HC duties, and Wannstedt has been unable to come up with any sort of scheme to slow down competent NFL offenses.

Everything Buddy says indicates he wants to have a big, physical football team, and his lines are almost there.  He now needs competent coaching, a QB, and some LBs to complete the transformation.  The whole thing doesn't need to be blown up.

I can never hope to lose against two of the most hated teams, the Jets and ESPECIALLY the Dolphins.  That being said, I NEVER root for the Bills to lose in any instance anyway.

Yet, they seem to eek out a lot of losses without your support.


How is rooting for them to win, working out for ya?

Writings on the wall already, they don't need to be blown out

Nix's job I believe is still safe for atleast one more year, unless he decides to step down at seasons end and retire, handing the position over to Whaley

Chan is done, and from the way he looks and talks, I think he knows it. I would bet he is given the option to "retire" or step down instead of being fired though
Something that will enrage teh fanbase though is that I have a feeling Chans replacement will end up being DW, to allow them to keep the schemes similar so they aren;'t overhauling the offence and defence again

Fitzs time as being the starter is also done. I would bet he is still with the team this year, but he will have to earn teh job out of trainaing camp, it won't be handed to him again like last year. Chances are hes the backup next year just because of the salary issue, it would cost too much to just cut him. Nix has already come out and said, he will be going after a QB early in the draft, and usually when he talks like that, he isn't lying about it

[kickedface]

please the decision has already been made. blow outs in either direction won't mean anything. chan is either done the first day of firings or hes around for another season. 2 games aren't going to make the difference.

I'd be shocked if we beat the Fins in Miami. As for the Jets expect 10,000 blow hard Jets fans in town to dump on our Bills. It will be a pathetic mess. Probably 25,000 Bills fans vs. 10,000 Jets fans. I'd be shocked if McElroy didn't slice & dice us. McElroy will play the role of Tom Brady much like Sanchez did in week 1.

How is it working for you?  Never contributing anything of substance to the discussion, that is.

doesnt matter what happens the rest of the way, buddy chan and fitz are going to be back next season so deal wid it

but i am hoping they lose both. while i watch the game i cant help wanting them to win, but when its over im more glad if they lose. the closer they get to the top pick the less they have to give up to draft one of the top qbs, which they definitely will be doing. wins at this stage do absolutely nothing, while losses can help the club enormously later on

just lose baby

Yup, the rest of the players on losing teams all feel this way, we better tank teh rest fo teh season so that we can draft a saviour with absolutly no experience playing this game at the NFL level to come in and save us.

Prayers not needed.  Not sure of blowouts, but Bills go 1 for December.

You mean WITH my support?  I am failing to see your support or burn or whatever you're trying to put out there.

I agree, I can never understand what she's trying to get at either.

Yes, I did, in fact, say what I said.  How insightful.

Does someone need an official title to make an observation and comment on the intent and substance of your posts?  What were you attempting to communicate with your derisive reply to HamSandwich?

[NorCalBillsSabres]

The team has already won too many games to get a top draft pick and I hate to root against my team but I really hope some of u are right and we get a wholesale change next year regardless of the result of the next two games...squish the fish then pound the jests.... I'm hanging on by a thread to my love and passion for this team although I will never quit on them. I am simply looking forward to returning the team to a competitive entity with playoffs being a real possibility every season instead of promise to start and dissapointment from there on out. I know that is asking a lot given out current state of the franchise....If we make the right fires and hires this year we might find out sooner than later though so I can only hope!!

[jcbillsfan]

Losing to Miami seems likely ,  the jet Game promises to be a circus.   That the bills will probably win and cost them about 5 spots on draft day.    IMO. Fitz is done.  Chan hanging by a thread.  Buddy is safe.   Question is does he or Whaley picked the new coach

As his lawyer, you should realize it is easy to indict (a) HamSandwich!

Expect even if they win, they lose.

So you lose anyway
