BLZFAN4LIFE Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 You won't have to feel guilty about rooting for it to happen. The Bills will not win another game this season. The bad news is that Ralph Wilson will still be our owner, Buddy Nix will be our GM and Chan Gailey will be our head coach. Next year at this time we will be talking about next year's draft instead of playoff chances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsfaninMyrtleBeach Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 No matter who they draft, they will not get better. One or two blue chip guys can't make much of a difference. Something is broken on this team, and untill they figure what is broken and finally fix it, we will lose. Chan has said "I don't know how to fix it" so even he knows there is something wrong. I am no armchair head coach and I certainly don't have a clue on how to fix it but no matter who plays on this team we won't win till SOMEBODY say's "o.k. we need to ..............." There are a lot of injuries to key players, maybe that's it? No pass rush, could that be it? A Quarter back that is not really a "great" QB? Bad play calling? Could it be that Ralph needs to release the reins? Don't know. Everyone has a theory on how to fix this team but untill they do fix it = NO PLAYOFF spot.

EasternOHBillsFan Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 Either you make the playoffs, or you draft high and try to build for a playoff team... the tweener draft picks do us no good, and with all of the injuries, it is all but assured. I know it sucks seeing Losman getting a win over the Bills, but in the end it would be a good thing IMO.* * so long as we don't get a McKelvin or Spiller with the pick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint Doug Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 I actually think your not a fan if you don't want them to lose out. The Bills are not going to the playoffs for the 15th season in a row. We have played just mediocre enough to be out of the running for an elite QB every year since our last Superbowl loss. In this league you actually have to hit rock bottom before you can become great. This draft actually looks pretty decent in terms of QBs. Losing the ability to draft one of them will be worse than us losing the rest of our games, which mean nothing at this point. And I don't buy all the psychological mumbo jumbo about the benefits of having a winning atmosphere. If that stuff did help, how could we have ever flipped from 5-2 to 5-8? We obvious learned very little from our string of wins earlier in the year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DDD Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 They have sucked for years, and all that losing hasn't led to a better team. I don't think a higher drafting slot will help the organization any. It's a deeper problem. At least winning might help them psychologically. +1. The only hope at salvation was Andrew Luck and that, like the bills chances of making it to the playoffs, is a distant memory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benderbender Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 (edited) Here's the good news for you -- the Bills most likely will lose out We are so bad, we'll win two just to hurt our draft position Edited December 12, 2011 by benderbender Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fan in San Diego Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 The cynic in me says yea lose out. Reality is how does the current staff know the difference between a #8 pick and say a #12? We need to grab a blue chip Quarterback. I don't think that choice is high on their radar. Ralph may still be suffering sticker shock from Fitz's deal, much less move up to draft another high priced Quarterback.Everyone is fast losing faith in Nix and company, the pressure is on. Or at least it should be. 1st round picks are not that expensive anymore with the new CBA. Take a blue chip QB 1st round. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John from Riverside Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 I am ready to start believing that a 1st round QB would be a good thing.....IF that QB is a special talent or the best player available Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lv-Bills Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 (edited) Say what you want about fans wanting their teams to lose, but I do. There is some legit talent in this years draft, including some great QB prospects. If we lose out, we have a good shot at picking 4th overall. (Man, that's painful to say with 3 games left after starting 5-2). But yeah, this season is done. We aren't building on anything and there isn't anyone that we are trying to get experience. This team is a trainwreck. O-Line aside, our offense is actually fairly healthy and we can't score more than 3 points. Yes, Freddie is out, but Spiller was Chan's guy in the first place. At this point, I pray we end up 4th in the order, behind the Colts, Vikings, and Rams. 2 of those 3 have their QB's of the future. We could have a chance to trade up to the Colts or have our pick of some great talent. Flame away, but winning is only going to continue to hurt the franchise right now. Besides the fact that Ralph owns the team, Nix can't draft, Gailey can't evaluate talent, and we just signed Fitz to a DJ deal.... In scheduling purposes for next year, you most likely would get Kansas City and Cleveland on our schedule, as opposed to Oakland and Cincinnati. We need to lose out.

Lofton80 Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 I am so fed up, I would like them to give up a couple of number 1's and whatever else for Luck. Enough with the stop gaps. Get the sure thing.

Charles Romes Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 I think you are onto something. The bills need a string of can't mess up picks like dareus. That's how the lions did it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orton's Arm Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 Why not? They were mauled by them down in Miami and likely will be again at home. That team mauled us and won with some clown named Matt Moore and JP will love mothing more than to get a start here and have a decent showing. There is a long-standing philosophical debate about what would happen if an unstoppable force was applied against an immovable object. JP Losman going up against the Bills' defense would be pretty much the opposite of that. And yes, I agree with the OP's point that the Bills need draft position and a franchise QB a lot more than they need a couple meaningless wins thrown in at the end of their season.

bbb Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 I'm in the lose out crowd. To go from 5-2 to 5-11 would be epic.........And, if we can get one of the top three QBs, it would be worth it for years go to come.....There is no way that winning a game or two at this point carries over to next year - not after falling off this cliff.
