When hes not id bet the Bills are more appealing! RW has burnt way too many bridges in the NFL! Maybe but I don't think that would be enough. A new owner would have to show some commitment to winning (e.g. Pegula vs Golisano). And the Bills would have to look like they are staying put. PTR

It accomplishes nothing to do it any sooner. And from Ralph's perspective, at around $125,000 per game, he'll save a cool quarter mil waiting till the season ends.

He plays bad and we lose? As for firing Gailey, Ralph would owe him his entire contract either way. There is no savings. PTR Edited December 17, 2012 by PromoTheRobot

Jauron was just as stubborn about playing guys, even when everyone in the stands, or watching at home, could see that someone else was better...the only way guys could crack the lineup under DJ was through injury. Kyle Moore, Carrington, Spiller, whoever replaced A Williams.... Chan is no different. On 12/17/2012 at 7:55 PM, BmoreBills said: Jim Harbaugh is the anti-Jauron... choosing to bench Smith and to allow Kaepernick to thrive was brilliant. I only WISH we could get a guy like that here. Get Harbaughs replacement at Stanford - Shaw.

There is nothing to be gained from it. But I'm betting something major will change. If only to stop the loss of season ticket holders. PTR Tis' true. Season Ticket sales are detrimental to the teams bottom line every year. If the FO wants to save face, they will have to shock the world again--but, this time not hire a Chan Failey and/or Duddy Nix
Fergs2323 Posted December 17, 2012 Posted December 17, 2012 (edited) My grasping at straws hope (this time around) is the coaching search would be slightly easier. From a talent perspective, we have some horses. Seems fairly obvious several losses can be attributed to awful coaching. But again, considering this organization's track record, guessing they hire someone like Mike Martz. Maybe Cam Cameron, possibly Whisenhunt. Assuming Gailey is fired, I'm quite certain the next hire will piss me off as did Jauron as did Gailey. Front Office is a Comedy of Errors. Edited December 17, 2012 by Fergs2323
papazoid Posted December 17, 2012 Posted December 17, 2012 there are only 2 games left.... Gailey is gone when the season ends...... i predict the Bills will hire Mike Zimmer ...Defensive Coordinator for the Cincinnati Bengals.

Sadly, he should get the nod...But, with Chan still calling the shots we ride the Futztrain til' the end of the season--unless there is a change of mind. Edited December 17, 2012 by KollegeStudnet

Just saying don't expect Bills Cowher or Bill Parcells to walk in the door. PTR it honestly can't get any worse than Gailey. And even if it was, we'd end up bottoming out and getting a top pick in the following years draft. Anyone would be better. I dare say a monkey with a beer bong helmet in and a handful of poop flinging turds at random plays in the play book could do better. Edited December 17, 2012 by mrags

Direhard Fan Posted December 17, 2012 Posted December 17, 2012 Keep Chan and make him hire a "OC". Get good "O" line back ups. Draft "O" line T and G. Fitz was killed by Gleen yesterday and the week before. He has zero time to throw. Need a good DB draft and we will be good to go. Than when the new owner gets here we will clean house and still have the players. No one is coming to Buffalo now except SANTA.

Are you saying Tarvaris, who is a UFA in a couple weeks, wants to re-sign with Buffalo or that Buffalo is going to throw enough money at him to lure him back to carrying a clipboard? I don't know, but it seems highly improbable.

That may be their plan. Keep him off the field this year so fans can't see how terrible he is, name him the starter in training camp, the fans get all excited, buy season tickets and new throwback jerseys, he sucks, the Bills suck, but they make millions of dollars. Same cycle over and over, gullible fans a plenty where the Buffalo Roam. The most likely thing to happen though is Jackson walks after this year, we gave up a draft pick for a guy who never stepped on the field during the regular season for the Bills, not even one play? Good job Buddy Nix, leave now-Please! Edited December 17, 2012 by BuffBill

KollegeStudnet Posted December 17, 2012 Posted December 17, 2012 Imagine being an owner of a sports franchise and watching it fail... It has to get old. Taking a step back from the infamous "Ralph is Cheap" mentality...Ralphie has to go all in and go after a culture changing president/operations guy! I'm not saying it's Bill Polian, but it's time Ralphie gives up his power and $elect a Polian caliber guy Duddy/Failey experiment has been not fun at all

John from Riverside Posted December 17, 2012 Posted December 17, 2012 You know.....the thing is Chan would make a pretty darn good OC if that was ALL he was. Then he wouldnt have to fire Dave W......someone else could do it.......he would have someone above him telling him to actualy play CJ......yada yada
