Easy, they won't play for cheap

I think unlike many fans here, the Bills staff has no plan on winning this year

The Bills will not be successful in 2011. No significant moves were made during offseason. 1-3 pre-season is decent indicator of the same level of play as a 4-12 season in 2010.

WOW, what are you saying. The Bills have an OL?

Anything with Luck number 1 to the Bills, I like it

Really by blocking that game, they are probably doing the Bills fan a real favor

Agree but I am happy for Lee. He was a class act the whole time on a joke of a team. The offensive tackles we got on sale at Walmart would not allow enough time for a receiver to go deep is what you are saying?

Same here. Freddie has EARNED it

That would be great in many ways I think. We get Luck as our new QB and then the front office would be forced to spend some money in free agency in order to not completely annihilate all the fans How many years have you been thinking that way? Although I have to say, it sounds like the most optimistic Bills fans now hope for "we won;t suck that bad"

How dare you mister. He has been accepted here as future pro-bowler

Right on

The reality is that Ralph has a great business model. Most Bills fan are strong optimist and get really excited about this team. So no need to go spend money on positions of real need. How many years has it been since we had 2 OT's that were solid starters? I would bet you can combine the salary of our 2 starters and we are still paying less than 95% of starting OT in the league

Where are all the "you are off your rocker" fans this morning? Maybe hoping for Luck is not so crazy after all. Look at the positives, we might have a line for out D. Maybe next year, the geniuses in the front office will realize that spending some money on the OL might not be such a bad idea. I know that it has not worked out in the past but it is not because you spent too much money on a bad pair of shoes 5 years ago that you can't buy a really good pair of shoes now.

Probably gangbangers and not the wanna ne tough fan that paints his face

I did not suckered into the hype either. Bottom line is we lost two solid starters and replaced them with one solid starter and one gadget play/special team player. Fans get really excited about the draft but let me let you in on a little secret. All the other teams get to draft also. And if we look at the last few years drafting performance, they do a MUCH better job than the Bills. The reality is that Ralph has a great business model.

The stupid optimistic fans are to blame. The maths are simple. We lost 2 of our best players. Were they great? No but they were some of our top 10 overal. New England who kicks our ass year after year in a severe umiliating fashion ads 2 potential probowlers. The senseless optimistic fan points at our great additions through the draft. Guess what. All the other teams in NFL drafted also. Oh and one more thing, most do a better job of it than the Bills. On the positive side, we have a Chance at Luck.

Agree. Top 1 would be the ticket

Simple any of those guys would cost a lot more than 2 of our OT's combined

Too bad they cost MONEY

After 2 pre-season games, hoping for Andrew Luck might just be reasonable. I wish I was off my rocker

Yes winning 7 or 8 games is sucking to me. It is actually more depressing than being 4-12 because you have some hope all year long. I would guess we will be 6-10. The sad part is that there was some real opportunities in FA to improve our OL. I think not doing that was a serious mistake. I dont think we get Luck by being that bad but who knows maybe we move up.

I agree with that assessment.

Willing to put money on that?

I think we have one more year of being bad. Our D will improve a lot but our OL will be our achilles heel. Next year we focus on offense mainly big boys in the front and we should be on good path to be competitive for a few years. Especially once Ralph is force to spend a minimum amount of money. The best we can hope for this season is to somewhat have a chance (no pun intended) at Luck comes the draft next year. But I don't think the Bills can be that lucky.

That was a fantastic argument. You should be a lawyer. The Bills have so much talent that every year they are in a real pickle about whom to cut
