Lots of Yankee fans don't care about the payroll. And they want to add more big names, expanding the payroll differential yearly. So I ask... would you have an issue if the NFL adapted that policy and teams like Dallas, Washington, Miami, Giants, Jets, Oak could spend as much as they desired to sign every free agent they desired. Making us even further less competitive. Would you keep it real and only blame Ralph or would you point finger at the big spenders like fans of small market teams do with the yanks. I think it gives you a good perspective when shoe is on other foot. Being on other side of stick.

If the league were to get rid of the salary cap... The Bills would be gone

No issue here.
If the Bills really were really "gone" if so, then they were never really viable, IMO.Comment

So you wouldn't argue, it isn't fair. We have a competitive disadvantage, we play in buffalo and don't have a stadium with PSL's. We can never sign a max contract guy?Originally posted by IehoshuaComment

no cap doesn't mean the bills will be gone.. they can always spend their way to profitability, whether that means a 30 million payroll is another story.Originally posted by TopdogOriginally posted by mercyruleOriginally posted by mercyruleComment

Sure, they "play within the rules" by paying luxury taxes and whatnot, but when you're one of the most popular cities in the WORLD, of course you have large amounts of money to spend for talent.Originally posted by DrGraves

yeah but there wasn't any "real" free agency either. the NFL's concession to free agency (which the players believed would explode salaries, and they were right) was a salary cap.My wife told me that if I had a dollar for every girl who found me unattractive, girls would find me VERY attractive.
MY WIFE SAID THAT!!!Comment

Bingo...and that is the whole key right there...while playing in the current salary cap era the Bills haven't made the playoffs...however, back in the early 90s there was no free agency...players had no movement rights and the introduction of true free agency is what started to bring down the Bills (re: Will Wolford poison pill contract from Indi). In the atmosphere of 2010 the Bills would be relegated to Pittsburgh Pirate status (and not because RW is cheap).
I've always argued on how Bills fans who watch a team that would have a chance (if not for the FO) to succeed could possibly root for the Yankees - the antithesis of how the Bills have to work. It would be like being a Cowboys fan in the NFL without a cap.
For all the education and practice each of us undergoes, the achievment of mastery is ultimately the outcome of a personal quest for understanding.Comment
