thewildrabbit Posted December 29, 2009 Posted December 29, 2009 Is this franchise is finished? Now that the NFL teams will no longer share revenue...where does that leave the small market teams like Buffalo? The Bills will have to pay Jauron the next three years while hiring and paying another head coach...who can they realistically afford besides someone willing to take the job for peanuts? Shanahan was just a smokescreen IMO. If this front office made the all personnel moves and they don't hire a real GM or president, this team will continue to languish with highly paid average players. The front office allowed Jauron to completely rebuild the offensive line, or did they force him into cost cutting moves? The same thought with the offensive coordinator and O line coach, was Jauron foolish enough to believe he could win with 2 rookie coordinators calling plays, or was that forced on him to promote from within? Every time I see this team make a move to save money by getting rid of an expensive player it seems like they don't make enough effort to bring in anyone else even close in talent, they dumped 3 high paid O linemen and it cost the team more then just money. They brought in T.O. and then got rid of three linemen to pay him. The smoke is clearing and the Bills are only going to continue on a downhill slide with this current front office.
billsfan89 Posted December 29, 2009 Posted December 29, 2009 Next season the Bills won't be effected by the lack of revenue sharing they are still going to get a 100 plus million dollars from the TV contract, plus the Toronto money, plus the 7 home games, and other forms of revenue they generate so they will be able to have a payroll next season on par or above what they had this season. Now what is really going to determine the Bills fate is not the 2010 season but the 2011 CBA negotiations. Will there be some sort of cap? Will there be some form of revenue sharing? Will there be a lockout? All of these things will determine the fate of the NFL and honestly Ralph was right to veto the 2006 CBA renewal. The owners now think it gave the players too much and that they need to get more and bring down costs. BUT then you have a split between the owners some like that D-bag Jerry Jones who want the league to be more like a free market like baseball and other like Ralph who want there to be more of a collective feeling that if the league as a whole grows then everyone wins. I think that the players want to see the cap go away and guarantees and salaries rise. So to me don't look to the 2010 season as an indicator for the Bills but rather look to the 2011 CBA as an indicator to what is going to happen to our Bills.
DELLAPELLE JOHN Posted December 29, 2009 Posted December 29, 2009 Its in the interest of the big market teams to have revenue sharing. if not then the nfl will lose teams. salary cap im not so sure. but jerry jones is on record saying we must have revenue sharing. its a must.
TheChimp Posted December 29, 2009 Posted December 29, 2009 How many more of those Toronto debacles are the Bills scheduled to play again?
