    Wilson Says Big Changes in store

    from the AP,


    ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. (AP)—Buffalo Bills owner Ralph Wilson tells The Associated Press he’s prepared to revamp his entire football operation after the season.
    Wilson said Thursday he’ll make a full review and stresses there’s a “lot of work to do.” Wilson adds there could be changes at any position and it’s possible he’ll bring in a general manager with a football background or make a lucrative offer to land a high-profile coach.

    Wilson spoke by phone from his home in suburban Detroit two days after firing coach Dick Jauron and replacing him with defensive coordinator Perry Fewell for the rest of the season.
    The Bills are 3-6 and in jeopardy of missing the playoffs for a 10th straight year.
    I remember that one fateful day when Coach took me aside. I knew what was coming. "You don't have to tell me," I said. "I'm off the team, aren't I?"
    "Well," said Coach, "you never were really ON the team. You made that uniform you're wearing out of rags and towels, and your helmet is a toy space helmet.
    You show up at practice and then either steal the ball and make us chase you to get it back, or you try to tackle people at inappropriate times."
    It was all     true what he was saying. And yet, I thought something is brewing inside the head of this Coach.
    He sees something in me, some kind of raw talent that he can     mold. But that's when I felt the handcuffs go on.

    I am soooooo liking what I'm hearing lately from Ralph, and unlike other years, I really feel like these are NOT just empty promises. This offseason can't get hear soon enough!!

      I might be making this up, but isn't Parcells' contract with Miami up after this year? I'm pretty sure Parcells + big name coach would be too much to hope for. Actually, Parcells alone is probably too much to hope for.

          I'm cautiously optimistic. When I heard about Shanahan, I was pumped. But now, hearing the Cowher rumor, and this latest quote from Ralph, I find myself becoming skeptical of this whole thing.

          I feel like they're just setting the bar high to drum up interest, and get the fans into it again, but they're just gonna bring in another loser and let us down.

                Wow! This kind of stuff just excites me more and more. It seems like Ralph realizes that this is his last chance and wants to go out with a bang. Either that, or maybe there's something that people haven't talked about.... maybe he's already working behind the scenes on selling part of the team or all the team next year and knows that he will have the cash to do this move now.

                    I'll believe it when I see it. That's just where I'm at from being burned time and time again with this team.

                    It takes two to tango, and just because the Bills want Shanahan doesn't mean that Shanahan is going to sign, same with Cowher.

                      Ralph finally realizes that after who knows how long in the National Football League he's on his last leg of life and wants that ring to be buried with. If he can keep that ticker going for one more year with Shanny or the Chin as coach and a healthy corp of players he'll see that AFC playoff picture clearly again.

                      Never thought I'd say this, but HANG IN THERE RALPH!

                        Parcells can rebuild teams fast. But I hate his Giants, Cowboys, Fins, Jets, Pats stank. Look at that list.

                        If not for a missed FG he'd be that coach that once won a SB back in 1986.

                              selling the team is one change that needs to be done.
