firstngoal Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 Let's hope the Bills finish 4-12 or worse in 2009 so that Ralphie gets stuck paying out mega bonus money to our 2010 draft pick. A top three pick would likely cost the Bills 30+ million in signing bonus money. It would teach him a lesson on being cheap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dib Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 I'm starting a line of felt lined paper bags for the 4-12 winter part of the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billsfreak Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 If anyone that logs into this forum agrees with you, they probably shouldn't be in here. Who in the F#*k would route for thier team to lose 8 months before the season even starts? Not a fan that is for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billsfreak Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 Why don't we really punish Ralph? Let's all hope the Bills go 4-12 for the next 10 years straight. Not that Ralph will still be here 10 years from now (the odds are against it), but it would punish the fans alot more than Ralph, he will still get his millions and the stadium will still be full, jerseys will still be bought, concessions will be sold and we true fans will still be disgusted.

A top three pick would likely cost the Bills 30+ million in signing bonus money. It would teach him a lesson on being cheap. I have a better idea, let's hope the team goes 10-6. Makes it to the playoffs as a wildcard and go to the Superbowl. Then Ralph will have to pay playoff checks for 4 weeks and not have a home game to help cover the costs. That would really teach him.

ddaryl Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 If you want to punish Ralph there is only one way to do that, and thats not buy tickets, or pariphenallia, and to continue to constantly send emails letters and any sort of correspondence to the Bills that constatly show your distate for the organization. but we all love the Bills and watching the game on sundays, its a part of pour lives and culture. The problem is Ralph knows this and he is using it agianst us. He's a real wealthy man, and he didn't get that way by not knowing how to manipulate the situation to his favor...

They don't get paid for the playoffs by their teams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A top three pick would likely cost the Bills 30+ million in signing bonus money. It would teach him a lesson on being cheap. I would never hope our team would go 4-12. I personally dont care about positioning in the draft. I would like to see us proven wrong about the retaining of dick Jauron and Co and that continuity will be the key this upcoming season. However, Given the schedule and though i do not hope for this to happen but 4-12 is very likely given what DJ has shown us thus far Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nucci Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 I know they get playoff checks. Are they paid by the NFL? Yes, correct. Based on how far you advance. I'm sure some players have team incentives built in also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thoner7 Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 Realistically, 4-12 sure looks like a likely record for the Bills next year. I am rooting for a 16-0 season, and a Superbowl -- But does it make me less of a fan if I am realistic about it and admit we will probly finish 4-12 +/- a win?
