Buffalo Bills owner Ralph Wilson said the reason his team has lost five of its last six games and is on the verge of being eliminated from the playoffs is it doesn’t have enough talent.
None of the players approached in the locker room had heard about Wilson’s comments after last Sunday’s loss to Miami. Judging from their response, they couldn’t disagree more with the 90-year-old owner.
“I think with the guys we have here, we certainly have enough talent to win,” wide receiver Lee Evans said. “We have won before, but it’s about winning on a consistent basis. That’s the goal. That’s the point you want to get [to], where you’re operating consistently throughout a whole game, a whole season and wins will come.”
A lack of talent didn’t seem to be an issue when the Bills started 5-1. But when your season is coming apart at the seams, something — or someone — has to take the blame.
But despite Wilson’s claims, the Bills’ players insist they’re good enough even if their current slide suggests otherwise.
“I think there are a lot of talented guys on this team,” said quarterback J. P. Losman. “I don’t see how you could sit there and say Marshawn Lynch is not a talented guy or Fred Jackson or Lee Evans or Trent Edwards. Defensively, you can do the same thing right down the line.”
