    Marv Levy's quote has Howard Simon streaming

    There is a quote made by Marv Levy that was a topic on WGR with Howard Simon.
    Howard feels the quote makes the Bills look cheap and the Bills have no goal for the 2007-08 season.
    Howard believes the Bills should not be starting off the season with such low expectations and he say's he Hates the quote!
    He said it over and over " I hate that quote"
    " Are we on a nickel and dime budget?"

    " What circumstances are we talking about?" Not filling needs on defense when it was obvious the team needed some help" Howard said.

    Howard Simon says some fans will translate the quote as the Bills are leaving town!
    The Bills are 19 million under the cap and Bills fans will not except the Bills circumstances as an excuse.

    This is Marv's quote....

    "We've put together, given our resources, the best group we can under the circumstances, right now"
    "So,we're looking for them to advance quickly"

    Marv says this while the team is 19 mil under the cap.

    It was the topic of conversation on WGR at 6AM this morning.

    His quote IS a bit political.

    I can see the controversy.

    This plays into discussions we had before. If you arent willing to pay like an NFL team, sell the team to someone who will.

    I have no doubt that the Bills can be very successfull in Buffalo if they have a product that wins games.

      I like McCargo but a 340 lb. space eater next to him would make me feel much better about the entire D. Not a fan of Williams, Tripplett or Anderson at DT.

      I honestly don't have a problem with the back 7. I'm thinking Youboty eventually takes over at CB opposite McGee.

      Not a big fan of the Tampa 2 D scheme. It leaves too much open space in the middle of the field. If teams start running over us early, then it must be scrapped. Stopping the run is job #1.

        I think the weaknesses are obvious and I expect Marv to do everything he can to put the best posible team on the field!

          yeah i have to admit im a bit streamed over it too

          its the 'under the circumstances' part that streams me. what circumstances exactly? i think he just meant that you cant manufacture players out of thin air and it takes time to build a team through the draft more than anywhere else. but it just didnt sound right, like 'well we have no choice but to suck so hopefully the crappy players can overachieve'. i dont think thats what marv intended but thats what it sounds like

            Your take is the same as mine but I would expect a more uplifting comment from Marv.

              The circumstances are, of course, cash to cap, which we've known for months.

              As long as C2C is the policy, the budget will be limited year to year. Yes, it does ease the long-term financial burden, but it burdens the short-term. There will be money available every year, but not much in terms of what we can do with it. That means it will take a long time to build a team, and the drafts have to be near perfect.

                Raise ticket prices, simple.
                It amazes me that people will stay away from the games if the tickets go up $30-$50 a piece, but will spend 4 times that much partying before and after the game.
                NEWS FLASH. If there is no NFL team there is no tailgating.

                  I watched Darwin Walker play and I am still confused why Marv thought he was not worth the money and we have 19 mil under the cap !

                    At least to the NFL average. This would give Ralph millions more in revenue.

                    Ralph is not the cheap owner that some have made him out to be. It's Bills fans that are getting things cheap and who are cheap.

                      Wrong. Ticket monies are split 60/40 in regular season games.

                        The "circumstances" Marv is referring to is most likely cash to cap, which is a self imposed financial constraint.

                          I think it is fair to say that the Bills have room to add a DT or DE to the roster through trade or available waived players!

                          I do not buy the "poor us" argument!

                            that's because he's a Tripplett and McCargo clone.
