I just want football more than anything. Get the deal done and lets play ball

[Ghost of Rob Johnson]

I voted "get it settled." Also, I doubt they would just use this years draft order again for next years draft.

Get it settled. A lockout would set the NFL back years.

 

My nightmare for a lockout draft in 2012 would be a model based on the NBA lottery.

If the Bills are to move forward from their current slump, I want no part of it to be compromised by replacement players. That's crap. And a top-5 pick isn't worth an entire season of lost football. Lock Smith and Goodell in a room when the final gun sounds tonight, and don't let them out until they have a deal. And don't feed them until they have a deal. Or anything else. Let's hope that they come to an agreement by the end of the month, and the offseason can proceed like nobody every said the word "lockout"

If we don't have football next year, how will Ralph get his Lombardi Trophy? He has a limited no. of chances and the odds are clearly against him. He needs football!

 

"So your sayin' there's a chance!"

Get a team of replacement players. Shane Falco could be our new franchise QB.

There is only one choice in your poll that makes any sense, the others are ridiculous. There cannot be replacement players next year, it isn't even an option. The only time the owners can field "scabs" is when it is a player strike, not an owner's lockout like this one will be if it happens. And who would want to miss an entire season just to get the #3 pick two years in a row? If history is any predictor, the Bills would mess it up both years or draft a few more running backs.

I want there to be football next year, but if there's a lockout, the fans need to get together and let the league know that they'll have to work to win us back when football resumes.If that happens and somehow results in sunday ticket, ticket prices, merchandise prices etc being cut by 50% league wide or a similar scenario in which the fans came out as winners, a year long lockout would be worth it. Unfortunately, this scenario is basically a pipe dream because neither the owners nor players are currently willing to take a smaller piece of the proverbial pie, so there's no way either side would reduce the overall size of said pie unless they absolutely had to, and I can't see millions of football fans across the entire country being unified enough to pull this off. For every season ticket holder a lockout drives away, there will be one who will gladly take his place, especially in cities like Green Bay with miles-long waiting lists.
