So you mean to tell me you didn’t have visions of the Vince Lombardi Trophy traveling down Delaware Ave while red, white and blue confetti rained down from the sky the day it was announced Rex Ryan was coming to Buffalo.
Let’s see
- Bills get sign Drew Bledsoe, and we’re winning a Super Bowl
- Lawyer Milloy comes to Buffalo, and we’re winning a Super Bowl
- Terrell Owens brings his carnival act here, and we’re winning a Super Bowl
- Bills start 3-0, and we’re winning a Super Bowl (I think they wound up winning 3 more games that year)
- Bills beat New England for the first time in almost 10 years, and we’re winning a Super Bowl
- ‘Super Mario’ pulls the wool over everyone’s eyes, and we’re winning a Super Bowl
- The Pegula’s buy the Bills, and we’re winning a Super Bowl (just like all of the Stanly Cups the Sabres have won since they’ve been the owners)
- Rex Ryan becomes head coach, he’s building team of bullies, and we’re winning a Super Bowl
And my favorite, last year, after the Bills beat the Colts in week 1, my wife put on the 6 o’clock news on either channel 4 or 7 and the bimbo anchor started out with, ‘It may be a little too early to start talking about the Super Bowl, but…’
This team is a mess. The win against the Cardinals was a surprise but I can’t see the Bills winning many more games. Browns, 49ers and Rams might be wins. With the debacle in London last year, I can’t even say the Jacksonville game in winnable.
The Bills can’t have this constant carousel of head coaches and starting quarterbacks. I cannot put into words how deflated I was after all of the rumors, when Mike Shanahan went with the Redskins and we wound up with Chan ‘who the hell are you’ Gailey.
