I was in Buffalo last August and TO Fever was hitting the City. I asked my uncle what was that all about. He said TO was suposed to rejuvinate the team and take the Bills to the superbowl.

A year later I am watching TV 1500 miles away and caught the TO Show scenes of him running around Buffalo,NY acting like a big shot only could.

MY question to you Buffalo Bill Fans...........How was your season last year?

Same as every year... I gave up on the Bills, switched to college football, haven't watched an NFL game in several years.

I'm also a Canadiens fan, so Buffalo losing season after season doesn't sting at all

They sucked last year as usual. TO was definitely not the fix. But this year we have Chan Gailey at the helm, a truly great running back in Fred Jackson, and an excellent draft pick in C.J. Spiller. If the quarterback controversy irons itself out, we may have a decent team this year, despite the fact that the AFC East is a tough division.

I don't have a lot of false hope, I know the Bills are still a long, long way off. I imagine though, that there will be some improvement this year over last.

In any case, we have what I think is the best fanbase in the NFL, and the fans do have something to get excited about this year.

Im not a Bills fan but Im very excited to see how they will use Spiller & what he does. The kid was fun to watch at Clemson.

I saw TO give up on many plays last year and he's no spring chicken. He's just a big name. I don't think he's a bad guy, but he's not a football player, he's a media star. I thought at the very least, Lee Evans would have had a big year with TO drawing attention. Fred Jackson was the only offensive success last year. I gave my Buffalo MVP to Fred, the first time it wasn't Brian Moorman in years. Fred is one of the best players I've seen in a long time in Buf... he excels in everything he does and does it quietly without complaints or fanfare.

If Buffalo becomes real disciplined, their offensive line plays well and they become a run oriented team, maybe they could strive for 9-7.

I still don't know why we didn't pick up a top notch QB in the second round...

Being from Nebraska, I see Turner Gil has really brought good things to UB. Maybe the Bills should hire him as head coach and replace him with another coach from UNL.

Turner Gill took the HC job at Kansas a few months ago.

Do the Bulls have a new coach yet?

EDIT: yes, and nice.
