Once the CBA is in place this team will turn around.

I know this isnt exactly popular but I agree with what Richardson is doing. No cap this year, dump the stupid salaries. With the CBA up in the air it is stupid to invest a ton in the roster right now.

No one knows what the cap will be, what the rules will be etc. Yeah it sucks this year, but by doing what he is doing Jerry is setting this team up to succeed in the future. We will have a low cap number, a high draft pick with presumably a rookie cap in place. Due to the number of free agents restricted this year with no CBA, once one is in place there should be TONS that can help this team.

Fox? Screw him. Sorry but I can't keep dealing with losing games and the 'it is what it is' Bull crap. I honestly think the reason Cowher didn't take the Bills job this year is two fold. One his wife first and formost and kudo's to the Bills org for keeping it under wraps considering all the talks they had with Cowher this offseason. Second he is right there in Carolina where his girls are. By the offseason things will be settled enough in his family life he will be ready to coach again. We have everything going for us to get him, we are right in his back yard, girls are attending college close, good ownership and this team is getting geared to be a 'Cowher' team. Good OL, power running game, a QB that can learn to manage the game and developing a good defense.

I honestly feel once the CBA is done (*) then this thing will turn around quickly.

(*) I believe there will be an 11th hour proposal by the owners the players will accept near the end of Feburary that will put this thing to rest.

Plus I'm pretty sure we all get capri suns and orange slices for being troopers and making it through this.

I agree, I however dont think Cowher is going to coach again anywhere.

I know having a bad year isn't the most popular, but you have to have them while you rebuild. If there is any year to start rebuilding, this would be the one. We are not a few pricey free agents from a superbowl, especially at 0-3, so why bring in contracts that will just hold back the rebuilding efforts.

Fox will be gone at the end of the season, or before, do not worry!

Hey losing isn't easy but this is the 16th season for this team. In the previous 15 season we have been to the playoffs 4 times, been in two NFC Championship games and one superbowl. We have a 6-4 playoff record in those 4 seasons.

Yeah we have had some up's and downs but overall not a bad run. The last time we went tits up, we were in the superbowl 2 years later. With the basic pieces we have right now along with some good drafting and some quality FA pickups which we can get when the CBA is hammered out, I can see us being back there again in just 2 years, just like last time.
