Webster Guy Posted November 3, 2010 Share Posted November 3, 2010 My take is that if we arent going to win a championship, the best thing for the long term health of the team is to have the highest possible pick. So that's what I want. I will forsake winning today in order to win more consistently tomorrow, and if that means winning no games, then so be it. The last time we had the number one pick in 1985 we got the best defensive end to ever play the game who led our defense to 4 superbowls. The number two pick went to Atlanta for a guy named Bill Fralic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TNBillsQT Posted November 3, 2010 Share Posted November 3, 2010 All of them! Why? 3 reasons. 1. Losing sucks and it is not enjoyable. 2. I'd rather be a 9-7 team with the 21st pick than 2-14 with the 1st pick. The goal is to get better. 9-7 > 2-14 with expensive crapshoot rookie. 3. Madden Franchise Mode may have dulled peoples' perceptions, but a team's record does not exist in a vacuum. Cash still rules, but you'd be wise not to underestimate the importance of our team's perception amongst the league's players (both on other teams and our own). You think Buffalo is unattractive to FAs? It is. Yeah it's cold and small and Dave & Busters is the only game in town , but more importantly, it is a franchise cloaked in failure (credit that line to Jerry Maguire). Winning breeds enthusiasm, losing breeds indifference. Once a losing culture has become entrenched, it is very hard to wash off the stink (I'm a Notre Dame fan, I might know a bit about this). This team slept-walked last year. You saw it. I saw it. T.O. saw it. Why do you think he freaked out during the Tennessee game? He wasn't used to it. Jauron was. The team was. Now if this team fights its everloving ass off and only pulls out 3 wins, I'll stand proud. But if they are 3-10, you won't ever catch me hoping for 3 more losses. It's this type of thinking that perpetuates the cycle. That some shiny new toy is going to fix us and if we have to throw in the towel to get an even shinier one, then that's okay. I don't buy it. The goal is to win every play, every series, every quarter, every game you play. And I can't enjoy rooting for anything else. Amen! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chandemonium Posted November 3, 2010 Share Posted November 3, 2010 Nine. If nine is somehow good enough for a playoff spot, then the answer becomes thirteen. But even if it's not, I still want them to win nine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seq004 Posted November 3, 2010 Share Posted November 3, 2010 (edited) 2 I love the Bills as much as anyone but we need high draft picks this year. Edited November 3, 2010 by seq004 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rockinon Posted November 3, 2010 Share Posted November 3, 2010 I am new to the board and I find it hard to believe the answer would not be "9" With all the talk about not wanting Randy Moss because he MIGHT screw up are chance at the #1 selection in the draft. I just had to ask the question? Well....I need to know? Try to be honest! How many games do you want the Bills to win? If you answer is less then 9, No Christams card for you! 16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
