Sisyphean Bills

The players coming into the NFL these days were like in the womb the last time the Bills were a Super Bowl team. I'm sure they're queueing up to play for a team with 7 home games and 14 years of treadmill futility. Or not. Besides, why part with the cash when profitability is so hard to come by?

Dumping big salaries will fix things. Why haven't they tried that before?

I don't get this one. What's magical about the number 3? Well, other than that is the typical shelf life of a Buffalo Bills football brain trust before it gets blown up like clockwork.

Well, spending 1st round capital on a RB seemed like such a great idea...

Yep. With the cut of Brown, there is now over 50% turnover since last year. Other than RB, WR, and TE, the "better roster" that Buddy left on the table has seen major change.

I seem to recall the winning percentage of a team coming off a bye was historically ~50%.

It's too early to say in my opinion. I see some things that stink of "business as usual" and some good signs as well. Every change since the Donahoe era has been put up as a new guiding light though none have turned out as that. With respect to Colin Brown, while cutting him is certainly no big loss, it reminds me of the Trent Edwards situation and Gailey cutting the string after a few games. Let's face it: Brown sucked last year in his few spots. So, yes, it is concerning that the real football people with the Bills continue to seem to be blind about self-evaluation and the organization be reluctant to spend their cap money to win now instead of promising rainbows and leprechauns a few years away. It is good to be able to admit mistakes and turn the page, no question. Still, building your team in October is definitely NOT a plan for success. And, while many Bills fans are highly tolerant of the "it's going to take time" mantra, it's not hard to find other teams that turn things around very quickly. The Bills are the statistical outlier of losing in the NFL.

Thurman Thomas was a pretty good second rounder. And the problem with bargain draft picks is the Bills have to let them walk on their second contract. It's what you do in a rebuild.

The plan is going exactly as scripted?

When you're in a total rebuild situation, you have to do it.

Since the Bills are in a total rebuild, they had to cut Colin Brown.

Which means he's somewhere below the guy on the practice squad and Fred Jackson... really sort of like a stack pointer.

Not even for a little schadenfreude?

Well, it's not like Legursky will miss any playing time.

I prefer this one: "Since the Bills are in a total rebuild, they had to <blank>." Where blank can be occupied by whatever move or non-move one may or may not imagine.

Gregg Williams is thinking "punt".

Just trying to have a little fun with it, but don't let that stop you.

OK, so Flynn is from Texas and he was last with the Oakland Raiders. So he was in Minnesota to ... catch a hockey game?

Does that mean he visited the Vikings first?

That's easy. Underdog story line at a bargain bin price.

I'll go with special teams and something other than Tuel time.

Those TVs in the weight room will get you every time.

Travis would have more but he went to prison for drug trafficking.
