Nick Mendola wonders aloud what it would be like to sit down with Ralph Wilson like two members of Cleveland's Dawg Pound did with Brown's owner Randy Lerner. His main question is how does Ralph feel about this team and he comes up with three possibilities.

Interesting Comments on Brandon and the GM Situation

For those interested in the GM situation, be sure to check out the link Matt has provided above to the “Decade of Disappointment” story running in the Rochester Democrat and Chronicle and watch the video of the panel discussion featuring the two D&C reporters who cover the Bills and the two top sports reporters for WGRZ in Buffalo. In that discussion Sal Maiorana from the D&C mentions a conversation he recently had with Russ Brandon which left him with the clear impression that Brandon would very much like to be empowered by Ralph Wilson to “clean house” after this season and bring in a new football-savvy GM to rebuild the team. He said, based on what Brandon told him, that Brandon would welcome having such a GM to work with.

Maiorana also mentioned in the same breath the possibility that that new GM might be Greg Gabriel, the current Director of Personnel for the Chicago Bears, who is a Buffalo native and still such a loyal Bills fans that he has season tickets for all of our games. He is convinced that Gabriel would come in an instant, and he and Roth believe that Gabriel would be an excellent choice (something Ed Kilgore of WGRZ agreed with). However, Maiorana left the clear impression (as I interpreted his comments — others can judge for themselves) that the big question is whether Wilson will give Brandon the green light.

I heart Russ Brandon then

He knows he’s not a football guy, and that this franchise needs one. Plus, I’m sure, as a marketing guy, he’d love to play the hire up.

Also, Gabriel is a good choice

Brian’s talked about him before. I’d be happy with him.

That’s my impression as well. My great worry has been that Ralph considers Brandon his GM and will let it go at that, but if Brandon is actually pushing to bring in a real GM that’s incredibly good news.
