    What upsets me the most

    As a Bills fan it is very upsetting to see other teams that mired in futility, like the Bills have for the past decade or more, excelling today. Just look at Cincy or NO or even Houston for examples.

    The league is filled with teams who have turned things around and worked well with the tools they have to develop them into great players. They've rebuilt by adding the right elements to make them successful yet the Bills are still in development mode.

    What is the front office doing wrong? Why are the Greers, Clements etc excelling as soon as they leave the organization? Mularkey and Williams are doing much better now that they are away from Buffalo. So is Wade Philips for that matter.

    Why does this organization not get it? I know that's a loaded question, but it's very frustrating as a fan to watch the team fail year in and year out while other teams grow and get better and offer their fans a good solid product.
    When I die, please don't let my wife sell my camera equipment for what I told her I paid for it.

      Same thing can be said about the Raiders who's owner mirrors Wilson. Coincidence?

        What has been the one constant over the duration of the Bills' miserable existence? Ralph C. Wilson Jr.

          RW and his unwillingness to give the front office and coaching the tools to win
          he is too cheap and the people running his talent evaluation are inept
          his coachs run schemes that are too vanilla and dont fit the players they have
          it all starts at the top

            I really don't know what your talking about... Clements just got benched and his 80 million dollar contract looks like a joke, his best days were here. We knew Greer was a good player, but we invested in Mckelvin and Mcgee.

            Wade Phillips led us to the playoffs 2/3 years he was here, and the other year was destroyed by a rash of injuries. In Dallas he has an underachieving club that he seemingly lost control of last year.

            Mularkey and Gregg Williams were star coordinators before we hired them, and are star coordinators after they left here. If the Bills coaching strategy has over the past 10 years has taught me anything, its that star coordinators do not always make competent head coaches. Its a very different job...

              It falls on Ralph Wilson, the great business man. He hires on the cheap. You get what you pay for.

                But the city could lose the Bills as soon as Ralph kicks it and that would make me feel even worse.

                  Cleveland sucks too. As soon as they moved to Baltimore, Bam, their good. Maybe it is Lake Erie.

                    I so sick of hearing this... It's not going to happen. There are teams out there there are far more attractive financially speaking then the Bills. The Bills fans in Toronto would even prefer the Bills stay in Western New York. Why, because even considering the travel down the QE1 , it's still cheaper to catch the game in OP. Secondly , The atmosphere in Toronto sucks, as far as watching any games.
                    How do I know this , I have friends in Ont , who laugh at the fear of buffalo losing their Bills.
                    L..A. doesn't want the Bills. they'd prefer bringing the Raiders back. LA has a huge Raider following .
                    Ralph is using the fear against you all who are quaking in their boots of the Bills moving on.
                    The NFL would discourage it and the State , local and federal gov't have already invested in keeping the team in place.

                    Stop and think about it.. The sky is NOT falling and the Bills are not moving.

                      i was wondering how everybody here would react to last night's game. once, it was referred to as "a chess match between mularkey and williams."

                            a lot of other cities can lose their teams as well. i wouldn't get caught up in that hype until it is realistically in the works.

                              i'm sick of this crap too. especially the Toronto talks. the ONLY reason the Bills play in Toronto for one game a year is because the NFL got tired of hearing about The Old Fart and his empty tin cup. they did him a favor just to shut his old decrepit ass up.
