Kipers Hair Posted December 29, 2005 Share Posted December 29, 2005 NFL fans outside of WNY, (or not being Bills fans), are ALL scratching their heads and wondering what in the hell are TD, MM and the rest of the Bills brantrust doing. Look at what has happened in the past couple of days; - They have a young QB that needs playing time, (yet they pine him to let a rag armed QB with more huddle savy play). - They resign a mid-level player - hopefully future starter, (currentplayer with buzz quality on a board like this. these moves are distractions ment to get the true believers reving for a season ticket run next year. Look at how the Jets are playing out the string - they IR'ed the talent they know they have and are starting rookies and fringe players everywhere - why? To see what they have in preparation for next year? they have the luxery of doing this as they will sell out games next year regardless. TD is once again doing what he always does and is working to get eveyrone back on the bandwagon for a "run next year". The sad thing is - from what I have seen on this board - it's working. The true believers cannot help themselves. Face it - the organization is once again f-ing with your passion for this team in an effort o get excitement. If this organization had any direction - we should be seeing Losman starting, with parrish, Evens, the damn rookie RB, Duke Preston, Josh Stammer and the rest of the unknowns. Instead - let's get momentum for "next year"...Just like he has for the past 3 years...This team is 4-12 next year unless Ralph realizes this he only has 2-3 seasons left....

Albany,n.y. Posted December 29, 2005 Share Posted December 29, 2005 The Jets can play for next year because their management plans on being there next year. Here we've got a GM who is days away from being fired and could care less about next year. The coach is a chickens***, who is so desperate save his own job that he can only look at this season. With any luck, Ralph will see through his charade & fire him too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Astrobot Posted December 29, 2005 Share Posted December 29, 2005 Since we continue to sell out the stadium, Bills fans are sending a message to the "management" (such as it is) that they are willing to stand for continued mismanagement. They could be doing what the Jets are doing-- see what Losman / Kelsay / Denney / Vincent / Milloy / McGahee have, and begin retooling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kipers Hair Posted December 30, 2005 Author Share Posted December 30, 2005 Unless everyone here buys 100 season tickets the Bills have a problem next season if there are no MAJOR changes. 545360[/snapback] I have a feeling - they will make player changes, wrap them in nice shiney paper and tell us that we are contenders - then remind us of the Warner led Rams, the Brady led Patriots, (1st time around), etc., and do enough to churn excitement. Fast forward to December 29, 2006, we're all sitting here dwelling on the latest 6-12 season, refusing to head the warnings of the Red Dragon and Pass the Pipe, wondering what the Bills are waiting for to play JP more, and hoping that MM finally get's his. Also - the talk turns to franchising McGahee and trading him for Detroits 3rd rounder and slapping the franchise tag on Coy Wire. All the while - we feel bad for Spikes as Cincy is the favorite to represent the AFC in the superbowl... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kipers Hair Posted December 30, 2005 Author Share Posted December 30, 2005 How is the snake-oil salesmen going to sell us a Bills Team that is hit with: Loss of Eric Moulds - Rabble rouser - but one who will catch 25+ balls over the last 3 games. (He'll later than the Bills as his value has sky rocketed in FA) Loss of Sam Adams - Lethargic slob who plugs the middle when motivated - agrivaitng but capable starter Loss of Trey Teague - Servicable lineman where we are God aweful thin Loss of Mike Williams - Fat suck who cost us a 5th overall pick - he sucks, let him go, but damn the pick should be a scarlet letter for TD Loss of Nate Clements - Good DB made to look bad by no pass rush this year. He'll be next years Pat Williams - we keep McGee and some team gets Nate... Loss of Jeff Posey - 4 year starter - time to leave, but still a hole... Combine this with the existing holes - and I really cannot imagine how you sell this to the masses. At best - get a starting lienmen in the draft, another in FA, get a DT n the draft, another CB, a LB in FA and we're still down one Eric Moulds. The team has at least two years to get to some shred of realistic hope. I can't wait until Donohoe insists we are not rebuilding, but actually we have bult a contender.
