DarthICE Posted December 27, 2009 Share Posted December 27, 2009 What cheap, up and coming Scrubs will Ralph Wilson try to pawn on us as guys that will change this franchise? Look put aside the homerism, this team is NOT, again NOT an attractive job. 91 year old owner that can kick it any minute. He has a rep as being a medling owner and cheap on his hires. This roster is NOT a good roster. We are a team full of guys that would be other teams backups or should be playing arena ball. Fans honestly forget what a damn good roster looks like. I know they sure as hell forget what a good QB looks like. Also, no one worth a damn wants to come in and try and do a 5 year rebuild esp with no QB in place. We need TWO OT's, at least one DT, a couple DE's, at least one LB etc. Make no mistake about it, thanks to Donahoe, then Marv's clear cluster !@#$ attempt at GM'ing this team, we are looking at a 5 year rebuild. Now if we can pull off an uncapped year while getting the salary cap back I say dump a ton of this roster this offseason so we don't have a cap hit. We do that then its a 3 year rebuild. So...what scrubs do you guys think will come in and take over this franchise with the shape it is in... AND turn it into a winner? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimBob2232 Posted December 27, 2009 Share Posted December 27, 2009 I think John Fox will be our new head coach. If I had to guess on the coaching carousel this is my guess: Carolina: Bill Cowher (although, I wouldnt be suprised to see him decline and wait for the Penn State Opening) Tampa: Leslie Frazier Buffalo: John Fox Washington: Shanahan Cleveland: Mangini (yes, for another year) Chicago: Lovie Smith returns Oakland: Cable returns Dallas: Mike Zimmer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dib Posted December 27, 2009 Share Posted December 27, 2009 throw 10 million at the guy and he says no. Problems must be deeper than anyone can imagine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also what happened to those two "hot" coordinators Williams and Mularkey? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NyQuil Posted December 27, 2009 Share Posted December 27, 2009 No-one that is a big name in football wants to come here. Ralph has no one to blame but himself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fingon Posted December 27, 2009 Share Posted December 27, 2009 throw 10 million at the guy and he says no. Problems must be deeper than anyone can imagine No, you throw 10 million at the guy and he says "I'll get 15 in washington". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His team, although out of playoff contention, has been playing real tough the last few weeks. I think Carolinas woes this season had more to do with Delhomme's implosion than anything John Fox has done. I'd be thrilled with John Fox, I just don't happen to think he will be available.

Chalkie Gerzowski Posted December 27, 2009 Share Posted December 27, 2009 No, you throw 10 million at the guy and he says "I'll get 15 in washington". wasn't a slice of ownership offered up to Shanahan or was that just speculation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max997 Posted December 27, 2009 Share Posted December 27, 2009 did it really take Shanahan to say no for reality to kick in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarthICE Posted December 27, 2009 Author Share Posted December 27, 2009 did it really take Shanahan to say no for reality to kick in? For some Max, it still hasn't. They live this pie in the sky, hope against hope BS. Reality is no one worth a damn wants a pert of this franchise. We are going to have to be the luckiest SOB's on the planet and hope a Bill Polian clone appears somehow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chalkie Gerzowski Posted December 27, 2009 Share Posted December 27, 2009 I think once Shanahan said he had a "good meeting with Rusty" that pretty much sealed the deal he wasn't coming. Or when Shanahan's name was first mentioned as coach/gm/hybrid to the Bills... that was folly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarthICE Posted December 27, 2009 Author Share Posted December 27, 2009 throw 10 million at the guy and he says no. Problems must be deeper than anyone can imagine The reality is the things that have been mentioned by myself and many others are well known to the NFL world. Hell I bet it IS worse than even we know. Do we have a 'link' to prove it? No, but sometimes you don't need a link to know wtf is going on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I follow the Panthers as my 2nd team. Bottom line there will be a full fledged riot/ revolt if Fox and Delhomme aren't gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kota Posted December 27, 2009 Share Posted December 27, 2009 Ice i have a serious problem with your posts. You talk trash to fans who have some hope for the next season. My question is why? Everyone knows that the Bills are a mess. I hope every year that the Bills somehow someway figure it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My question is why? Everyone knows that the Bills are a mess. I hope every year that the Bills somehow someway figure it out. I am a realist that is why. Until Ralph Dies, sells or just gets the !@#$ out of the way 100% this team is going to suck. It has a horrible rep and no one worth a damn at this point even wants to sniff coming to Buffalo. Hope? I am done with blind faith and hope. REALITY is we are in deep **** as an org and I can't see it changing any time soon thanks to the Owner still being the owner.

CodeMonkey Posted December 27, 2009 Share Posted December 27, 2009 wasn't a slice of ownership offered up to Shanahan or was that just speculation. As far as I know everything, including the 10 mil, is speculation. [My opinion, and only my opinion, it was leaked by the Bills to make it look like they were making a big play] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DanInUticaTampa Posted December 27, 2009 Share Posted December 27, 2009 Whatever made you think he was coming to Buffalo? When the bills signed TO, it made the bills look more unpredictable, therefor making other possible big name signings seem more.... possible.
