bills_fan_in_raleigh Posted October 3, 2010 Share Posted October 3, 2010 If we go 0-16, which I can't believe I've finally got to this point, but it's seeming more and more feasible -- if we go winless, and the Bills go into next year and still stubbornly throw away draft picks on illogical selections, throw small contracts to sub-average back-ups from other teams and completely ignore, for no particular reason, various problem areas while stock piling talent at a couple of soft-outcome positions... If they continue to do all that after being 0-16, after being at the absolute bottom, with teams who can't score putting up 40 on us, with the offense barely able to get positive yardage, how many of us will be done? That would make them worse than the Lions, which is as low as you can go. I'm willing to give them through next year's draft to show me that this thing can be turned around. I am willing to believe that it is still not irreversibly damaged. But this is the first time in my whole fandom that I'm seriously beginning to consider that I have to come to terms with the idea that no matter what -- no matter how bad it could possibly get, the Bills will not take the appropriate steps to remedy the situation. It is a thing that I can't completely understand, which makes it all the more frustrating. I'm giving them one more draft, and trying to find little rays of hope in games like these, like, David Nelson looks good today. But I am also looking at other teams that I enjoy watching, like, say, the Ravens, and asking myself "Why not?" Thank you Ralph Wilson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Almost seems like sheer luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KD in CA Posted October 3, 2010 Share Posted October 3, 2010 That would make them worse than the Lions, which is as low as you can go. From both an 'overall franchise' and a '2010 season' perspective, that has already been achieved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sleaky72 Posted October 3, 2010 Share Posted October 3, 2010 Agreed. HUGE mistake bringing him here. He was a LB coach for the Dolphins for 5 years. NEVER should have been hired as DC....doesn't have ANY DC experience. We all expected the switch to the 3-4 was going to have it's bumps and bruises, but the pass coverage doesn't seem to be anywhere near that of last year. Why is the focus on our defensive coach, how about the pathetic offense of our head coach. They are just as awful Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Conch Posted October 3, 2010 Share Posted October 3, 2010 I'd like to see Spiller in blocking protection against Kelsay. Neither would win. For all of the Lee Evans defenders, each of you can probably cover the dude. He just plain sucks. He has disappeared better than Aemelia Earhart.

TAinLack. Posted October 3, 2010 Share Posted October 3, 2010 Rumor has it we hired TWO strength and conditioning coaches? Nice work guys. One is working with the Jills..., and he is the better one!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sven233 Posted October 3, 2010 Author Share Posted October 3, 2010 Evans........Our $9 million man.........drops it. Wonder how much he made by dropping that pass. I have as many catches as Evans does today. I want to get paid like that too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Punch Posted October 3, 2010 Share Posted October 3, 2010 Makes me sort of wonder how they got Kelly, Thomas, Reed and Smith in the first place. Almost seems like sheer luck. It's funny because Polian is only responsible for Thurman out of the group you mention, even though he always gets credit for building that team. In fact, the core of the SB teams was brought in before Polian, although he filled the roster with all of the great role players that really made that era so good. It very well may have been luck.
