JPS Posted October 5, 2010 Share Posted October 5, 2010 Doesn't it make more sense that Ralph is putting a crappy product on the field to lessen the blow of them leaving? Don't hire football people. Pay rock bottom for GMs, Coaches and "talent". It's not that he's senile and he has good intentions. I think he maybe stripping this town of our pride in this team so it's easier to say goodbye. Maybe it's a paranoid delusion I had after having one too many bowls of Lucky Charms, but it does make sense, doesn't it? I hope I'm as far away from right as can be. And before you say "the Bills can't leave Bflo", I ask where you live. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fezmid Posted October 5, 2010 Share Posted October 5, 2010 Yeah, because you need to have an "exit strategy" before leaving a city. Just like Cleveland did when they moved to Baltimore... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1B4IDie Posted October 5, 2010 Share Posted October 5, 2010 Yeah, because you need to have an "exit strategy" before leaving a city. Just like Cleveland did when they moved to Baltimore... Or the Colts did to Baltimore Prior, or the Cardinals did to St. Louis, or The Rams did the 300 times they moved, or . . . Oh wait teams just move when they want to without worrying about the city they are abandoning. They don't care how easy it will be for Buffalo Bills' former fans if they are going to move.

PromoTheRobot Posted October 5, 2010 Share Posted October 5, 2010 (edited) Yeah, because you need to have an "exit strategy" before leaving a city. Just like Cleveland did when they moved to Baltimore... Well I'm not saying there is a conspiracy, but if you are old enough to remember the Buffalo Braves, when new owner John Y. Brown tried to move the Braves to San Diego, he was blocked by the NBA because the league said Buffalo supported the franchise well. Brown then set out to cut or trade every good player on the team until the Braves were the worst team in the NBA. As you can imagine attendance dropped like a rock, and Brown had his alibi to leave town. Of course the franchise never recovered and still sucks to this day: The L.A. Clippers. Honestly the same thought crossed my mind. PTR Edited October 5, 2010 by PromoTheRobot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly the same thought crossed my mind. PTR Moses Malone, Randy Smith, Tiny Archibald.....I think they all went for cash. I know we didn't sell any players, but $78M later, we have 1 less home game. I know it was just a crazy thought, but what else works?? You can't tell me he's made these series of decisions in order to win...I don't buy it. BTW - Did our season ticket base go up or down? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I disagree with that. I think Ralph does care about Bflo. But setting up the justification for a relo is the only explanation I can come up with for Chris Kelsay and Ryan Fitzpatrick. Watch our season tix # next year. I know I'm dropping at least 4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
