CodeMonkey Posted June 17, 2013 Posted June 17, 2013 I personally am ready for the end of an era. The last 13 year era of futility.
Gugny Posted June 17, 2013 Posted June 17, 2013 If Ralph Wilson dies during halftime in the Week 1 game and we're leading by 13 and get the ball to start the 3rd quarter, do we run?

ganesh Posted June 17, 2013 Posted June 17, 2013 This is not a Ralph Wilson should go away post. I have not heard anyone go into depth about what this upcoming season could bring if Ralph Wilson passes during the season. Let's say hypothetically the Bills finish 4-12, as many experts expect us to do. E.J. Manuels rookie season looks more like Blaine Gabberts than RG3s, which is fairly likely if history is any indicator for this team. Doug Marrone does a decent but not great job in his first year (also likely). And Ralph Wilson passes during the season. What would happen? Although there are a lot of hypothiticals there is a good chance all of this may happen. My thoughts would be the Wilson family would sell the team to the highest bidder and the new owners would likely want to start from scratch (Brandon included) with a team that missed the playoffs for a 14th straight year and a QB and coach that did not show any great potential in this league. My guess is we might be talking about drafting Manziel with 1 of the top 3 picks in next years draft. I hope this is not the way the season plays out but then again it might all be for the best. So assuming Manuel, Marone, and the Bills struggle which is fairly likely and Wilson passes what do you think happens to the Buffalo Bills next offseason? You said that this is not a "If Ralph Wilson Goes away" and yet everything is on the premise that RW passes away. Pass

White Linen Posted June 17, 2013 Posted June 17, 2013 If Ralph Wilson dies during halftime in the Week 1 game and we're leading by 13 and get the ball to start the 3rd quarter, do we run? You're asking a question that's very difficult to answer without all the facts. If the lead by 13 is because we scored two touchdowns and missed an extra point yes we run, if no extra point kicks were missed it's clear we would pass.
papazoid Posted June 17, 2013 Posted June 17, 2013 Anybody got any good O.J. jokes? Q: What record of OJ's will stand forever? A: His criminal record.
Estelle Getty Posted June 18, 2013 Author Posted June 18, 2013 (edited) Sorry to upset so many people with this question. But I feel it is a huge issue to not think about for this upcoming season. The fact that we could very well be in this same position at this time next year with a new "owner", staff, and QB. Edited June 18, 2013 by Estelle Getty

Kkspike Posted June 18, 2013 Posted June 18, 2013 We would only get the New England games on Sunday afternoon.
8-8 Forever? Posted June 18, 2013 Posted June 18, 2013 First off, didn't they sign a long term lease agreement? new owner will buy it out and move the team. money will not be an object . NFL teams with 6 games every year against Pats, Jets and Phins don't come along very often, most of the old owners are dead or gone, another team potentially will not come around for quite a while.
C.Biscuit97 Posted June 18, 2013 Posted June 18, 2013 I wanted to ask this girl out. But then I thought she would say yes, things would go well for a while until she dumped me for my brother. So I never bothered asking her out.

Fan in San Diego Posted June 18, 2013 Posted June 18, 2013 I'm assuming you are not a motivational speaker, if so you should consider a occupational change! Such doom and gloom after all the positives coming out of camp. Just grab a big ol' jug of the kool-aid and swig it down like the rest of us! Way too many hypothiticals to even get worked up over. +1 and get back on your meds would ya.
Like A Mofo Posted June 18, 2013 Posted June 18, 2013 Until the Buffalo Bills do both of the following: 1. Win consistently 2. Get a new ownership in place after Ralph These threads will be started.
billsfan89 Posted June 20, 2013 Posted June 20, 2013 The idea that if the wheels completely fall apart with Marone and EJ going 3-4 wins and looking like they don't have much potential then there could be a coaching change and a QB change is not impossible. But I don't think its likely.
