I'm not trying to be negative, because you were right about some things about this team, but this very attitude is a problem sometimes with Buffalo sports. Bill Belichick said it best, "You cannot fall in love with players," and I think Buffalo fans do this alot. I believe it happens more in hockey than in football, but Buffalo fans seem to want to keep hometown guys and 3rd string guys around because of their interaction with the community or their tenure with the team. Sometimes those guys need to go!! Guys on the Bills like Jasper or someone like that, and Sabres players like Roy, Kaletta, Gaustad (finally gone), and even Ruff just don't belong on the roster/staff. We absolutely robbed Nashville for the 1st rounder we got for Goose, and he has like 4 pts since he's left (last I checked). Ruff seems like a great coach now, but I'm tired of barely making 8th place and then losing in the 1st round every year. So like I said, I do think you make some good points, but Buffalo fans have a tendency to fall in love with players, and that is not a good thing if you want to build a winner!!
