May Day 10 Posted October 11, 2010 Share Posted October 11, 2010 well, Wilson is right. To do it right, its realistically going to be 3 terrible/bad seasons. The entire defense needs to be revamped, and most of the offense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CardinalScotts Posted October 11, 2010 Share Posted October 11, 2010 What does taking full responsibility mean ? You realize you haven't put enough money in to scouting and player development and your selling the team. Or ehhh blame me- I gotta go to the bank now?

Typical TBD Guy Posted October 11, 2010 Share Posted October 11, 2010 Did you actually ask Ebenezer Wilson tough questions? Such as: 1. What was the reasoning behind Kelsay's contract? 2. Why is Modrak still on the payroll? 3. Where does the team expect to be playing after July 30, 2013? 4. Why won't he allow Jim Kelly's financial group to buy into a minority ownership of his franchise? Or should we expect more of the usual, like: 1. Team isn't playing well and needs to execute better. 2. More talented players are needed. 3. We're staying the course and have faith in coaching staff. 4. Keep buying tickets and stop asking questions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VirginiaMike Posted October 11, 2010 Share Posted October 11, 2010 Well he still can recognize a pig when he sees one. We do need a QB but we need soooo much more. A QB bein d this o-line will need to take out extra life insurance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pimp on da' net Posted October 11, 2010 Share Posted October 11, 2010 What did he say. Let's have patience. Hey RW your 6 feet under clock is ticking. What do you mean..." he still has youth on his side". With this improved scouting staff & exemplary front office , we're going to build thru the draft. It should take 5-6 draft to right this ship (obv sarcasm), "we just need some luck". These were statements from Ralph, then echoed by Nix. We're in trouble in Bills Nation!!! For the rest of Ralph's life, believe that!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
In-A-Gadda-Levitre Posted October 11, 2010 Share Posted October 11, 2010 Did you actually ask Ebenezer Wilson tough questions? Such as: 1. What was the reasoning behind Kelsay's contract? Nix answered that 1 a few days ago... "The thing you don't want to do is take your core guys and your leaders out of your system," Bills general manager Buddy Nix said Thursday, the first time he commented on Kelsay's extension. "We decided, obviously, that we've got four, five or six guys like that. They maybe are not great players, but good players that set the tone for what you want everybody else to be. "Chris Kelsay is a good player. He exemplifies what we want players to do and how we want them to be. So that's the reason he's here." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats hilarious, maybe he's undercover as Green & Kelsay, ahhhh...he so good he's playing both sides of the ball and evaluating the coaching staff.

Bill from NYC Posted October 11, 2010 Share Posted October 11, 2010 I believe Mr. Wilson on many levels. It IS his fault for hiring second rate management and coaches. People such as Levy/Jauron. Ya think he doens't know this? He does imo and is serious about taking responsibility. In terms of getting a quarterback, I believe he is sincere about this as well. A quarterback such as Ryan Mallet will sell tickets galore, and Ralph will earn another 39 million or so. That said, in THIS case, I agree with him. Another dumb selection like Maybin, Lynch, McKelvin, Whitner, Evans, or Spiller would more than likely destroy the franchise beyond repair.

Lori Posted October 11, 2010 Share Posted October 11, 2010 So if it's going to take three more years to rebuild, he's cool with me dumping my season tix till then, right? Thanks for the heads-up, jw.

Coach Tuesday Posted October 11, 2010 Share Posted October 11, 2010 (edited) I'm sure he'll be happy to take everyone's money while they "rebuild" for 3 more years. Someone should file a consumer fraud lawsuit. I'm serious. You know why it's gonna take 3 years? Because he won't pay for any more expensive free agents. I'll say it again: "building through the draft" is a financial strategy, not a football strategy. Edited October 11, 2010 by Coach Tuesday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr. Fong Posted October 11, 2010 Share Posted October 11, 2010 It takes 3 years IF you get the right front office people making the right decisions and set up a coaching organization that can get the most out of the players. I'm not convinced the Bills have either one of these things in place, so I'm sure its just another case of spin your wheels for three years, fire everyone except the people that are really screwing up this organization, and find a new group to sell to the public.

Hey it will take 3 more years, but you keep paying me money to line my pockets the next 3. I say !@#$ that. Next year if there is a season there are a TON of free agents due to hit the market and Ralph better !@#$ing well open up the pocket book. I love how he says we must go get a QB, no **** Ralph?
