If you’re like the vast majority of Bills fans and media these days, the next four months serve merely as a foregone conclusion. You conclude the Buffalo Bills will be horrendous and prospects of a winning campaign are dreadful. They’re a oblivious organization headed by a meddling 91-year old owner, a master marketer posing as general manager, a dead man walking head coach and a roster riddled with bottom feeder talent.The team hasn’t made the playoffs this decade, has all of one winning season (9-7 in 2004) during that timeline, and is coming off three consecutive 7-9 seasons.
Inept perception was recently reinforced with the dumping of offensive coordinator Turk Schonert- after the preseason was already over, and the release of starting left tackle Langston Walker just one week before the season opener.
