IronyAbounds Posted October 4, 2010 Share Posted October 4, 2010 Buffalo: in dire straits, hires marketing guy as GM , then dumps him and hires 70 year old rookie GM. Fires head coach, and hires someone who was a mediocre head coach in the NFL more than a decade ago, was mediocre as a college head coach and was fired as the OC of a lousy NFL team at the start of 2009. Assistant coaches as a group are very undistinguished. Team going nowhere, other than perhaps backwards. Kansas City: in dire straits, hires a new GM with a lot of experience with one of the most successful franchises of recent history. Hires young head coach, and after a rough first year hires what could be the best offensive and defensive coordinators available. Team clearly making progress, and while the fast start may be misleading, enthusiasm and hope has returned to KC. It really is simple. KC's ownership is fixated on winning. Buffalo's owner is fixated on saving every friggin penny he can find. Not to mention that at 90+ Ralph's brain probably is missing more than a few synapses.

MattyT Posted October 4, 2010 Share Posted October 4, 2010 The biggest flaw here is where you conceded that KC had a rough first year (4-12 in a pretty weak division) ...since the Bills are also in the first year of their latest rebuilding project. Not saying that I completely disagree with your premise, but it seems like this new regime should be given a similar benefit of doubt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsObserver Posted October 4, 2010 Share Posted October 4, 2010 Also the fact that Scott Piolo would never, ever come to Buffalo. He chose Kansas City. Hiring that experienced GM who was apart of a world class organization isn't nearly as easy as you make it out to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drew026 Posted October 4, 2010 Share Posted October 4, 2010 we really can't judge shite for another year. That's when we'll be able to make a fair assesment of where this team is going. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bflojohn Posted October 4, 2010 Share Posted October 4, 2010 The obvious fly in the ointment is Ralph Wilson! The comparison is valid when we are accustomed to the fact Ralph has zero interest in building a winner again in Buffalo. When new ownership takes the mantle, then we will see more clearly where this team ends up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
