    Bring signs for Bill Snyder, Bill Cowher or your coach of choice to the game

     

    With the current ownership, nobody of any worth will ever come here to coach. Our only hope is a Jim Kelly ownership type group to convince a good young coach and knowledgeable GM to come in and take over

    Gailey probably lost more respect from the players in the locker room for the benching. Players want to win, and you don't earn respect from vets and rooks for benching one of your better players for a relatively innocuous play.

     

    Gailey showed that his ego/pride is more important than winning, and that sentiment will definitely resonate with the players.

     

    uh, actually just the opposite. gailey told his players that any further actions like this would result in disciplinary action. if he doesn't follow through, he loses his players. he just did what he said he was gonna do. doesn't matter how silly everyone thinks it is. a team rule is a team rule.

    Barkley's decision comes this afternoon...

    Ralph did say to be patient, so I think you're onto something. Suck for Barkley in '12!

     

    and then barkley will pull a tom cousineau on us... i mean seriously, even if we were drafting a qb this year, who in their right mind would want to come here into this present situation? the nfl is set up for parity and quick turnarounds, but there is no hope in sight for this franchise.

    The Hidden Reason For The Lost Decade

    in The Stadium Wall Archives

    Everybody has a pet theory for why the Bills have missed the playoffs for over a decade. Some blame the players, some blame the front office, some even blame the owner who kept the team in Buffalo when he could have gotten a better stadium deal and made more money elsewhere. But those are just uninformed opinions. Opinions are like noses (clean version) - - everybody has one. But that doesn't make them right.

     

    If you simply accept the non-controversial idea that substances like steroids that are deemed "performance-enhancing drugs" actually improve athletic performance, then you should take note of some recent scientific research. Scientists have unambiguously shown that men who are in committed relationships have lower testosterone levels than men who are not. In addition, men who assist their partners with child-raising duties suffer even greater drops in testosterone levels than men who assume the more traditional male role of being a provider and leaving child-raising duties to their partners.

     

    Why should we as Bills fans care about this you ask? Here's why:

     

    Scientists have long known that increased testosterone levels lead not only to greater virility, but to higher levels of aggression as well. Although further research may be needed to prove it, some scientists also believe that higher testosterone levels can lead to improved athletic performance.

     

    The family values crowd won't like it, but this research provides a road map for building a successful football team. For at least the last decade, the Bills have placed a premium on drafting and signing "high-character" players. The unintended consequence has been a roster with too many guys who are in committed relationships, and even worse, who are more involved in raising their kids as compared to other NFL players. So they make great neighbors and members of society, but bad football players.

     

    I'm not suggesting that we should draft or sign players who break the rules by artificially increasing their testosterone levels and risking long term adverse health affects. But c'mon, why would you intentionally draft or sign players whose off-the-field life situations make it clear that they will have lower testosterone levels than guys who aren't performing child-rearing duties and aren't in committed relationships?

     

    You simply can't credibly argue that increased aggression is an undesireable trait in a football player. It's just one example, but I've read that Fitz has kids and is a great Dad. Well that's just great for his kids and his wife, and it makes him a desireable member of society as a whole. But maybe he wouldn't perform like a career back-up if he was single, prowling the city like Jim Kelly did, and had higher testosterone levels. If we are stuck with being way under the salary cap while Ralph owns the team, let's at least be smarter and draft or sign players that we can reasonably expect to be more aggressive.

     

    Just my 2 lira (based on science).

    9th 7-game losing streak...!!!

    Just read the Buffalo News and I am assuming I read it correctly, but this is the 9th time we've gone through a 7-game or more losing streak...?!?!?!? That right there speaks volumes about this owner. There are other small market franchises in sports that can consistently field decent teams. Sorry Ralphy boy, this excuse just doesn't fly anymore...!!!

    Who is Ralph Wilson Jr?

    he has convincingly proven himself to be one of the least successful (in terms of winning) major sports owners over a 50 year period while having an amazing roi. and yes, he acheived this by exploiting bills fans everywhere but especially the citizens of erie county. it's difficult for the exploited to admit it, but it's the truth. i don't know if he's evil but i'm certain he's contemptable.

     

    ...apparently keeping a franchise for 50 years gets you in the Hall of Fame these days. God knows being successful didn't do it for him...!!!

    While I'm slamming our drooling, incoherent greedy owner. I'm calling my shot, again, with Nix and his methodology. His build from the draft methodology is predicated on one MAJOR, MAJOR assumption and need. That is, you draft well. They don't. Nix doesn't.

     

    However, my issue isn't with that as much as its with his non-free agency signings approach. When you're team hasn't been in the playoffs in this millenium, that should indicate to you that you're in need of more players than any one draft can provide. The refusal to plug holes with quality free agents and use the draft to plug other holes only means your are INTENTIONALLY foregoing the ability to make you team better for monetary purposes. The system is set up to supplement the draft and allow you to plug holes with impact players. Refusing to do it is basically saying, we don't want to compete. It's stupid, arrogant and ignorant (arrogance and ignorance typically go hand in hand).

     

    My point is this: this team has more than seven holes that the draft would theoretically plug. They need help on both lines, LB, DB, WR. That's needs based on the current roster but doesn't account for losses in free agency. So you''ll lose some there as well. So it becomes a yearly chasing of their tail. Trying to fill talent and FA holes with 7 picks. It can't and never will happen, even if the assumption of making great picks is fulfilled.

     

    RW does not understand, and has never understood, that you have to spend money to make money. They want a full stadium, give the people something more than the implied threat of relocation.

     

     

    again... spot on... this loser has been out of touch with reality for a LONG, LONG, LONG time

    I mean an owner who stops feeling like he's entitled to sellouts because he complains this region is dying. Who feels like we should be honored with his charity and generosity for keeping them here and that the only thing he owes us is a team, some warm bodies in the front office and on the field.

     

    The Sabres have been good and committed and they sellout with way higher priced tickets for meaningless games. It's a two way street your greedy old man. You commit to us, we'll commit to you. That old MFers should count his blessings that anyone shows up, much less tha 50,000 that bought tickets for next week.

     

    I will say this, I hate, and mean it, RW. I have for many, many years. I have been a season ticketholder, gone to most games when I have not been, but I have done it because I enjhoy the team and the atmosphere and the comradery. But I'm not doing it for him anymore. I'm not giving this **** one more nickel of my money.

     

    If they move, so be it. I'm not being held hostage by this jerk0ff anymore.

     

    totally agree...

    We need a committed owner, not some **** looking to maximize profits and hope to get lucky and win. Hiring "yes" men and also-rans over and over for the entirety of this team's history ahs proven to be an epic fail. I for one want closure. I want a new owner and have that persopn stay or go. I'd rather have no team than this one, seriously. At some point in our lives, there is no point in rooting for a team not committed to doing anything else than making the owner money and allowing him to micro manage the team into the ground.

     

    The ONLY, and I want to stress the ter ONLY, constant in this team's history of losing is RW. At some point, people have to recognize and be honest that he has been and remains the obstacle. If we have a guy committed to winning and putting a respectable product on the field, you couldn't get a ticket and there would be no question about the team's future. All of this is on Ralph.

     

    you mean, an owner that promotes russ brandon to GM because he took his team to the superbowl in his ea sports madden game isn't committed...?!?!? that one will never get lived down...!!!

    the sad part is that p.o.s. ralph "THE CAREER LOSER" wilson does such a horrible horrible job fielding a team that otherwse honorable bills fans wind up at each others throats out of the sheer unending frustration of it all.

     

    i swear i hate that old !@#$er on days like this.

     

    the thing that really irks me is that he will be the first one to blame the fan support for the reason the franchise is the way it is. he is a worthless POS...!!!
