On a happy note CJ Ah You does have a sack this season, unlike Maybust.
-
I'd love to see former players get more involved with this team......
Yeah I dont understand why they dont do that either. Could teach the bums about having some pride.
-
Were going to have a decade plus drought on the ring of fame, because none of these losers are ever going to make it. God I miss a player like Talley.
-
Hope the front office watches this guy. Summed up my feelings.
-
That was brutal. Man Leodis was horrible too.

Buddy had a trade all mapped out in his head, but then he got to the fax machine to send in the paperwork and got a blank stare on his face. After a minute and a half of this nonsense, he forgot what the trade was. Then he went back to his office and had a ham samitch.
LMAO, I think Buddy was looking for the telegraph thingamajig.

You can say the same thing about Chad Jackson, Brandon Merriweather, Darius Butler, Lawrence Maroney, and Ron Brace. Polian whiffed on Tony Ugoh (and perhaps Donald Brown). Pittsburgh already cut bait with Santonio Holmes. Even the successful teams miss plenty.
It goes without saying that these are my opinions Thurman.
Please...........How many probowlers have the Bills drafted in 10 years. Dont act like the Steelers have drafted poorly. Polamalu ring a bell over turd Whitner? Big Ben vs JP. Santonio Holmes has 1000 yard seasons and sealed a superbowl win. Casey Hampton, Hines Ward, Woodley, Mendenhall, Heath Miller, Mike Wallace, I could go on.

He's weak with a injury history.
-
I just hope our 9 million dollar receiver can match TO's numbers in 4 games by the end of the season. Its just wonderful knowing we are paying more for Cornell %$@#* Green than TO is making in Cincy this year. Were the Bills, thats the way we roll.
-
Trading is hard, lol. I dont get why we dont take what we could get for Marshawn. Were going to suck this year either way so he isnt going to help us this year. Next year is his last year. He wants out thats clear. I could be wrong but wont he be a UFA after next year so the only way to keep him is to put the franchise or transition tag on him and pay that kind of money to him. Doesnt make sense. Also the status quo defenders will always say its hard to trade, as in down, which many fans call for to get extra picks. Yet the Patriots seem to find a way to do it multiple times in every draft.
-
You will never get me to agree that we havent draft poorly. Anybody coaching up Losman or picking up Hardy?
-
Can and will are 2 different questions.
-
Your headline is misleading. Yeah Rome dogged on the Bills, but he also gave it up to the fans, saying we are great fans who deserved better. He wasnt taking any cheap shot against Buffalo, just the Bills who deserve everything they get. He called them a UFL team. Cant say I disagree.

This is the one thing the optimists have been right about in the past 10 years, "It's going to take time."
When people complained during the Donahoe/Williams era we got, "give them a chance, it takes time with a new GM and coach."
When fans wanted a better product during the Donahoe/Mularky era we got, "new schemes to learn, it takes time."
When we wanted more wins during the Levy/Jauron era we got, "it's going to take a few years for a new GM/Coach to turn things around."
And now, with Nix/Gaily they say, "it's going to take time" once again.
Well, you guy are right, it is going to take time. So far it's taken 10 years to get us - perhaps - the first pick in the draft. Let's all be patient and just give them a little more time.
I wonder, will 10 more years be enough time or would fans still not be justified in expecting the Bills to field a winning team by then?

I'll withold judgement on this front office and coaching staff for now, because
they were presented with a completely empty cupboard. I WISH that this year's
draft choices were contributing something, especially given how utterly bad this
team is. However, a rookie is a rookie and it is too soon to give up on them.
The FA signings for this year were weak, but probably in line with the team's
ability to pay given that they are one of the lowest revenue teams in the league.
Don't for a minute think that the Bills are playing on an even playing field. When
other teams rake in 10, 20 or 50 Million $ more, it is extremely difficult to
compete with them.
FAIL
The Bengals dont have a payroll much different than the Bills and they can field a good team. Ability to pay? Were paying more to Cornell freaking Green than the Bengals are paying to future hall of famer and our leading receiver last year---TO. The problem is we dont know how to spend money. In fact, if theres a way to NOT spend money(like extending Kelsay for 20+ million), the Bills front office will find it. And please stop with the money thing. Its a meme thats repeated as an excuse. You dont have to do jack sqaut to make money on the NFL, just own the team and field the players. Its how Ralph turned 25k into 800 plus million. I think Mr Wilson has done just fine from the fans of WNY and the Bills.
-
Well to some on this board Modrak is always blameless somehow for the most imcompetant drafting in the history of the league. I think NFL films will do a show about in the future,you know of the those so bad its funny things.
-
And probably a good reason why the Bills are inept. The owner has dementia and nobody is accountable.

I said in in the other thread when the OP was asking older fans if this was the low point, I said yes. I said dont underestimate this 2010 squad for futility. The Jags, some were counting on beating just be the Colts, the Browns team we were thinking win against the bengals(and took the ravens to wire), KC is undefeated. The Lions lost by 2 the Pack. This front office is about to cap an 11 year playoff drought cake with possibly a 1-15 or 0-16 team cherry on the top. Eat up Bills fans.
-
I like what your saying. Whats been the constants.....these 2 clowns and I'll add Modrak.
-
I dont see the Bills tarping off 2/3s of the upper decks like Jacksonville did last year.
-
Think Im coming around to the way the Jets did it. Invest in the OL so its solid when you do get the rookie QB, avoid the David Carr battered young Qb syndrome.
-
OMG Mallet threw some picks against Bama, he sucks! OMG Luck threw some picks against Oregon, he sucks! Honestly I think both these guys are gonna be good.

It really is quite a testament to Mr. Wilson's stewardship of this team if our working on 0 for 11 in playoff appearances is a debatable low point for the Bills.
To the people making the arguement the late 60s-mid 80s teams were worse, dont sell the 2010 Bills short. If we lose to the Jets we would be 0-4 and have to play .500 ball the rest of the way to get to 6-10. Were one Fitzy injury from our 1 and 2 QBs being a guy signed from a practice squad and a 7th rounder. This team is quite capable of putting up a 2-14 or 3-13 season, maybe even worse. So you would have 11 years of ZERO peaks capped with one of the worst teams in the NFL in year 11 of your rebuild. Thats pretty low in my book.

I was born in 1965, and I consider my Bills fandom to have started in 1972, so it is about 38 years on this bus for me. I realize, statistically, the period from 1967-1972 might have been the worst, but I can't really comment on those years.
Honestly, I think the last 3 or 4 years are as bad as it gets, in my lifetime, even if the win total is not as bad as other times. When I was younger, I didn't follow the NFL, as in every team, as closely as I do now. I watched the Bills game, and whatever game was on Monday night...saw lots of the Raiders, Cowboys, Steelers and Dolphins in those days. Following other teams entailed looking at box scores. Even if you knew who was the leading St Louis Cardinals, you didn't know much about the inner-workings of teams. You couldn't name the GM of every team, unless you really did some homework. I was younger, Ralph Wilson was younger, the economy in WNY wasn't as bad...there was always a sense, to me, that better things were right around the corner.
Now, I am thinking the only way that the current downward spiral is going to stop, is if the Bills somehow get very lucky and strike gold, while digging with a garden hoe...or there is a death in the family, and the Bills fortunes are left to someone else. It is a scary proposition, because, as we all know, it could mean the franchise, as we know it, comes to an end. And I hate feeling that way.
Even in the bad ol' 70's, and mid 80's (the 1979-1981 Bills teams are my all-time favorites), there were questions about the Bills ownership, but it was a lot easier to defend, as the playing field was level. The gap between poor ownership and good ownership wasn't as wide as it is today. In the 70's and 80's, there wasn't as long a history of unfortunate decision making, to build an opinion.
To me, while 1984 and 1985 were hideous, there was always the spectre of Jim Kelly hanging over the team...if he didn't become a Buffalo Bill, you knew the Bills were going to get something of value for him. In the 1970's, we had OJ, who made even the darkest of Sundays a little brighter. But now, I don't know. I still look forward to watching the games every week, and I still hope that they will win every week (I hate the argument that we should be rooting for the Bills to lose, to ensure a higher draft pick), but there really isn't one part of the team, (offense, defense, coaching, ownership) that you can really sit back and think, "okay at least we have this going for us." It doesn't seem like the Bills draft all that well, they don't seem to develop players... As Dylan sang, "everything is broken".

When I think about the 00's, the naughts, whatever you want to call the 2,000s. I dont know what we hang our hat on. The 60s had AFL championships for those that remember. The 70s had juice and the electic co, the late 70s-very early 80s had knox and the Bermuda triangle. Then the late 80-90s gave us the greatest Bills. But this decade-plus is what? The one year Bledsoe-Moulds-Price clicked? What intercepting a rookie Sanchez multilple times last year? Some McGee kickoff returns? Seems more like the heart-ripping, soul-crushing Monday night losses to the Patriots and Cowboys are the face and enduring memory of the last decade. I dont think any fans are going to looking back with fond memories of the Mularkey-Williams-Jauron years.
Moss to Minnesota Rumor?

It woudn't suprise me. Cowturd(who also works at ESPN) was talking this morning about the Pats phasing Moss out. Maybe they want a good pick if they think this is the last year they're going to have him. See the Seymour trade.
