Golden Wheels Posted October 5, 2009 Share Posted October 5, 2009 Beating a dead horse....... Here's what is painfully obvious to all of us that the front office hasn't figured out yet: 1. Football games are won and lost in the trenches. When your team can't block pass rushers on offense or stop the run on defense, it makes no sense to make your major offseason investment in a 36-year-old wide receiver. Even if he is one of the best in the league, he's useless as teats on a boar if your QB spends most of the day getting sacked or throwing INTs in a panic or your defense if giving up tons of yards and points to a high school formation offense. Yes, the Bills drafted some linemen, but where is the talented, veteran experience? 2. The head coach and the QB are the brains of the team. They should be running the show with logic, intelligence, and a red-hot desire to win. Jauron should have been jettisoned last year for his horrible, namby pamby, play-it-safe game-day decisions. Edwards looks like he has no confidence what-so-ever, and every defense in the league knows he is Captain Checkdown. This is a horrible combination. 3. Every team has injured players. Only losing teams constructed with little depth use it as an excuse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CodeMonkey Posted October 5, 2009 Share Posted October 5, 2009 Exactly. Until WNY nuts up and boycotts games, nothing will change It's too late for this season, the tickets have already been purchased. Like I said in another thread, it will be interesting to see what Brandon comes up with this off-season to lure the people of WNY to renew/buy season tickets for next year.

Where and by whom? Not defending the way Wilson runs the team, but where do you get this from? Wilson is not moving the team and a different owner will not look at ticket sales as the reason to keep the team in Buffalo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A combination of ticket sales at what price per ticket (i.e revenue) probably would come into the decision somewhat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

8-8 Forever? Posted October 5, 2009 Share Posted October 5, 2009 Won't happen. WNY doesn't want to lose this team. If games don't sell the team gets moved. Fans are caught between a rock and a hard place. Well said. It's over, boys. You can either have a Lions/Chiefs type team or no team at all. Which will it be? Seems the fans enjoy the tailgate as much or more than the team, because it's been clear for some time that the team won't be much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Booster4324 Posted October 5, 2009 Share Posted October 5, 2009 10 points worse than the Raiders coach who might be arrested today? Can we trade Jauron to Oakland when their coach gets arrested and suspended? A 2020 7th rounder? Hell, a 3rd round pick from us to take his contract?

kasper13 Posted October 5, 2009 Share Posted October 5, 2009 That is such garbage. Buy Tickets or the team moves. IT HAS 0% TO DO WITH TICKET SALES. How do people not get that through their heads? It has to do with CORPORATIONS/SPONSORSHIPS/LUXURY SUITE SALES. Ridiculously high taxes in NYS. Job market is in the toilet. Corporations are not moving to NYS or they are leaving. All especially true in WNY. Translation- RW can't sell 200 Luxury Suites at $250,000 per year. RW can't build a new billion dollar stadium and sell PSL's to the filthy rich who don't care about the game anyway. If the team were to move, it would have NOTHING TO DO WITH FANS SELLING OUT EVERY GAME. If 0 fans showed up Sunday or 120,000 fans showed up Sunday, it would have no effect either way. it all has to do with the big money corporate dollars or lack thereof. When a combination of these three things happen: RW dies, the Bills lease expires or the stadium is the oldest in the NFL with no money to build a new one, the new owner or owners will move the team. It has nothing to do with the Bills fans buying tickets or not. That is such a stupid, sad excuse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weehawk Posted October 5, 2009 Share Posted October 5, 2009 This team is gone from WNY. Right now, mentally. In a couple of years, physically. It's been reviewed in other threads, but there's no way this team will stay in the area after RW is gone. The State of NY cant/wont do anything and no one else will spend a billion dollars to keep the team here. The idea that WNY has to fill the stadium to keep the team long-term is foolish. The team is gone either way. Time to find other ways to spend your Bills money, instead of sending it to Michigan to overflow RWs family coffers. There will never be a Super Bowl team from Buffalo. We had four shots at it. We're done once Ralphie goes. Won't happen. WNY doesn't want to lose this team. If games don't sell the team gets moved. Fans are caught between a rock and a hard place.

This quote from Dick about the loss to the Dolphins is why I hate him "Dick Jauron said the inability to capitalize on offense was a concern" Wow, it is a concern Dick? Acne is a concern, the Dolphins loss and this teams inability to do anything is a full blown crisis Mother !@#$er ! Concern, my ass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
