"Fight" as you put it, doesn't mean **** when the scoreboard is lopsided. If you lose by 20 points or more how is it less embarrassing if you can say "yeah but at least we tried to win",

Look, this season is over. All that is left is to treat it like one long preseason and evaluate people. If Gailey liked this guy enough to recruit him in college then why not take a look now. What have the Bills got to lose. What's the downside. that he sucks? We have that in abundance already so what's a little more. What's the potential upside? That the kid can play at least well enough to be a depth player in the future. Short answer, nothing to lose and everything to gain.

Correct. And it is typically a number they don't like going much higher than for any NFL game.

I'm not surprised. Without TV money the NFL would be out of business so why shouldn't TV force its B word the NFL to do something that makes them some more money.

This thread reads like a bunch of jilted lovers whose girl is now doing another guy.

Yeah ... Vegas seems to think it could get ugly as well.

Here are the updated lines on the NFL's two winless teams finishing 0-16 this season (courtesy of BETUS.com): Buffalo 75-to-1 and Carolina 200-1. The Browns make me hesitant because of it being in Buffalo. The other 3 AFC east teams look to be close enough such that no one will roll over and play the scrubs the last 3 games of the season. Tempting to put $100 on it.

JK speaks from his heart. I have no doubt he is doing all he can to keep the Bills in WNY. But JK has no coaching experience, much less GM or CEO experience. And as far as I know, not even any business experience at any level, much less at the 800-900 million dollar enterprise level. If you were in a position to financially back someone to the tune of almost a billion dollars of your money, would you back someone with Jim Kellys experience? He certainly has a name that would make Bills fans very happy, but at the end of the day I'm pretty sure that I would not. It is simply too much money to make that kind of a gamble, at least for me. So you think he is getting paid to be some kind of owner apprentice? Kind of out there a little isn't it?

I wouldn't expect details to be announced for all your reasons you cited. But a "don't worry be happy" statement from Mr. Wilson like I alluded to instead of silence could go a long way. But If I owned a 900 million dollar asset maybe I would understand I guess we will know when we know

His heart is clearly in the right place.

Tax laws always deserve considerable respect when you are talking about a 900 million dollar sale But my point to you is, if you are correct, why not come out and say: What is the advantage to being quiet?

Heh, I've been trying to do that for years!

I don't believe Mr. Wilson owes anyone an explanation. But can you think of a logical reason to keep it secret if the team is staying in WNY? I cannot. Or are you suggesting Mr. Wilson would knowingly hurt himself and the team by keeping what would be considered by most Bills fans, players, and coaches, great news a secret for no other reason than he feels like it??

My issue with all the conjecture around what happens after Mr. Wilson passes is that it is all conjecture still. Why keep plans a secret if they do exist? Why keep everyone guessing? Ockham's razor comes to mind. When competing hypotheses are equal in other respects, the principle recommends selection of the hypothesis that introduces the fewest assumptions and postulates the fewest entities while still sufficiently answering the question. So which makes the most sense to you: 1) There is a plan in place for Mr. Kelly and associates, or some other group, to buy the Bills and keep them in WNY. But not publicly acknowledge such a plan in the least which keeps the fan base, coaches, players, as well as any potential coach and player hires questioning the future of the team and tend to avoid making a commitment to a team whose future is uncertain. or 2) There is a plan in place that will cause the eventual relocation of the team. But not publicly acknowledge such a plan in an effort to keep the fans coming to the games instead of disowning the Bills immediately which also allows the Bills to stay in Buffalo the entire time Mr. Wilson is alive. or 3) There is no plan at all and the future of a 900 million dollar business entity if left to see where the chips fall after Mr. Wilsons passing. Obviously 3 gets discounted immediately as Mr. Wilson is not a moron. So out of 1 and 2, which makes the most sense to you? I do not know Mr. Wilson or Mr. Kelly or any of their business people. So I am just theorizing like everyone else. But until someone who is credible comes forward (preferably the most credible which would be Mr. Wilson himself) and states otherwise, my guess is number 2 above.

JW always had good insight. Too bad children like Chimp don't have better parental supervision.

Great nick

Come on you guys, quit with all the "the media hates Buffalo" **** please. Look, when Tampa doesn't sell out it is not news because it is a frequent occurrence. The Tampa fans blow and everyone already knows it. When it happens in Buffalo, a blue collar football loving city that historically has sold out even throughout the decade of suck, it is news. Simple as that. Quit crying and grow a pair.

He killed people? Damn, I am out of touch. I thought he abused dogs.

I believe the announced attendance was 58K. But the NFL doesn't care about fair at all. If they did they would not have the whole "secondary market" policy, and would not declare Syracuse a blackout area because one of its TV stations can get a faint signal to a few houses in the Rochester area. They care if the stadium is full of people spending money or not ... period.

It was almost halftime when it dropped out and it was on again by the start of the 3rd and stayed the rest of the game.

Boy that has the potential to be one Fugly game. I hope you will have plenty of Tito's available to dull the pain

So far I am very unimpressed with what Nix and Gailey have (not) done so far. That being said, there is no reason to believe there is any chance of either one being fired just for the sake of firing them. If Ralph has someone "better" lined up that will accept either job then fine. But what's the point of firing one or both of the good ole boys if you will end up with someone worse than they are.

Kickers, Spiller, and one of the QBs as a backup, probably Fitz but at a reduced price. Everyone else would be in play for the right price.

That is ultimately the question isn't it. I would not want him on "my" team, but I say no. He served out his punishment. If someone wants to hire him to run around throwing a ball I say why not. I must say it is nice to be able to disagree with someone and be able to discuss it without it degenerating to name calling. Thank you.
