Ramius Posted December 23, 2011 Posted December 23, 2011 Getting Fitz some more weapons means 2 things: 1. You actually have to keep the weapons you have, which means re-signing Stevie. This DOES NOT mean letting stevie go and drafting a WR in round 1 (which is what will happen this offseason). 2. This means you actually have to spend $ or a high pick on a legit TE. No more scrap heap reclamation projects.

Best Player Available Posted December 23, 2011 Posted December 23, 2011 Yet another interview with no reason why weve failed for a 12th straight season. Worse yet no reason too expect anything but the same next year.
I hate the Bills ! Posted December 23, 2011 Posted December 23, 2011 Ralph, I lost my patience 10 F-ing years ago
SF Bills Fan Posted December 23, 2011 Posted December 23, 2011 I would prefer to have all games in Orchard Park, but the Bills get great money from the Toronto series and that is what will help keep them in Buffalo long term so I am on board.
JOE IN HAMPTON ROADS Posted December 23, 2011 Posted December 23, 2011 One day we may have an organization top to bottom that commits to putting together a consistently competitive team yearly. That isn't today....and next year ain't looking so good either. The "small market" excuse is beat. The Steelers/Packers have no problem doing this, because they have a commitment to winning. The Bills don't. It's not cause "the weather is bad, the economy sucks" or whatever tired excuse people wanna use. The Bills as an organization just do not seem overly concerned about putting together a team that can win. Just the bare minimum that "if healthy" can go 8-8 9-7 ish. As fans we're forced to accept it, cause there's really nothing we can do to change this philosophy. We've had more than a handful of above average players who've we let walk right out the door onto other teams. Players that were good enough to win with. Just "not good enough for Buffalo" smh Hope for the best but realistically expect the worst. It should be great next year when we avoid real issues draft a wr in the 1st rd to replace Steve Johnson and go "well in 2-3 years he'll be elite" as other pieces of the team continue to fall apart. The Bills conduct player personnel like they're nothing more than a minor league market for other teams. It's irritating to say the least +1 Ralph Inc. keeps this team minimally competetive at the lowest possible price. Its'a all business. Good news is, things are so bad, he will have to inject some cash into personnel this offseason or risk losing significant season ticket revenue next year. ralph doesnt know if he had tapioca or applesauce for dinner. I'll bet Ralph is still pretty sharp. He puts one over on us every year.
Bill from NYC Posted December 23, 2011 Posted December 23, 2011 >>>>>We've got to get receivers. If he hasn't gotten anybody to throw to, he's not going to win many games,"<<<<< This is a very depressing statement by Mr. Wilson. It reminds one of Spiller "adding excitement." It also makes me want to not waste time thinking about the draft this season. Mr. Wilson is a genius. He knows JUST how to play to the crowd. There will be a horde of posters who would be thrilled with a first round receiver. And if it after 2 years he has a 2 touchdown game it will be the fans, not Mr. Wilson calling for "patience." And they will justify the idiotic selection. We will have a question mark at QB, no pass rush, and a dime store LT, but a shiny little new toy to sell tickets ala Spiller. This sucks.
JOE IN HAMPTON ROADS Posted December 23, 2011 Posted December 23, 2011 It worked perfectly. The Bills made out like bandits moneywise. That's all it was about. Money. Establishing a base in Toronto with corporations and creating more fans. +1 I have to give credit to Ralph Inc. here. This team has more value with the Toronto deal. The Bills HAVE to expand the market for a buyer to consider keeping the team here.

Max997 Posted December 23, 2011 Posted December 23, 2011 (edited) If you would hv told me when I turned 28 on the day that the Bills lost to Tennessee in the playoffs that they wouldn't make playoffs during my entire 30's I would hv said that's virtually impossible It really makes turning 40 in two weeks even worse You can't preach patience after 12 years, that's just ridiculous Edited December 23, 2011 by Max997
sllib olaffub Posted December 23, 2011 Posted December 23, 2011 The old man "didn't pay Fitz all that money for nothing" - in other words, we paid for him, so we're playing him. I love all this tough love. Patience. Surround him with more talent - runners and TE's who don't get hurt? Runners? What the @#$% is he talking about? Fred and Spiller are fine. A TE - sure. A couple WR's - good, too. But, if they pass on a Franchise caliber QB this year, then that means they'll probably finish next year somewhere near 8-8. No franchise QB then. After that - maybe 10-6 and an outside shot at a wildcard. No matter, though - cause Fitz isn't going to lead this team to a SuperBowl. I'm not going to sit through another 3 years of pathetic football, and accept these ridiculous excuses. For me, if the Bills don't get a QB worth being excited about next offseason - at the least to be ready to go in when Fitz falters, then I won't waste another Sunday afternoon on these scoundrels. We do have a choice in Buffalo. Every year for the last half decade I've heard, "we don't have a choice" - and, that is the feeling I get, the impression I get from the majority of people here in this area. They don't like Wilson's antics, they sure don't like Russ Brandon's attitude, nor any of the upper management's condescending talk of "patience" or any other b.s. excuse - as if we're so ignorant to not know what we're seeing - and, AS IF WE DONT HAVE A CHOICE! As long as we don't collectively call their bluff it is true. But, if the Ralph filled up to only 20-40 thousand seats for every home game next year, believe me - everyone would see. The national media would take the fans side here, if we collectively stopped supporting this miscreant owner. The NFL doesn't want a team that wont spend what it can to be competitive. I read another poster here say he was done until Ralph gave him something worth supporting. I'm there, too. He can be as "patient" as he wants - I just hope he loses money every year from now on that he tries to pass that b.s. on down.

Buffalo Barbarian Posted December 23, 2011 Posted December 23, 2011 The Toronto series has been an EPIC FAIL. Why renew something that didn't work? They don't want us and we don't want them. They got millions so it worked for them. Hey Ralph, either you chose a really bad time to tell us this or you just liking screwing with us. Gosh I hate this guy more and more everyday. Why is now bad timing?
marauderswr80 Posted December 23, 2011 Posted December 23, 2011 I will return my attention when RW's dead....simple.

Maybe someone should remind Ralph that Littman traded Evans for a 4th rounder and is about to let Johnson walk.
BillsVet Posted December 23, 2011 Posted December 23, 2011 (edited) For those thinking there'd be big changes this year, I guess not. Continuity in 2008-09 as the excuse has been changed to patience 2011-12. The result just happens to be the same or worse. Edited December 23, 2011 by BillsVet
Zulu Cthulhu Posted December 23, 2011 Posted December 23, 2011 I've heard Ralph Wilson called every insulting, derogatory thing in the book - this is the first thread I've read calling him a slut though.
bowery4 Posted December 23, 2011 Posted December 23, 2011 I am starting to understand my father's hate for Ralphie. He never got to see the 90s team. Ralph don't ruin it for 2 generations, please. As for the TO series, it is just unAmerican. Seriously. Do you have any idea how much I hate the Leafs?
