Is it time for one yet?

What would you put if you did create one?

If I did I would have one that indicated something along the lines of getting Trent the heck out of here.

I am really hoping to see Gailey make a tough decision early and admit his mistake and move on. That would show me that Gailey is a real coach.

If he doesn't you can put both Gailey and Edwards on the Billboard.

you'd need a whole series of billboards to list all of this team's problems. The first one should be "**** You, Ralph!"

I would just put these big white bold letters onto an black billboard.

In dire need of QB, OT's, LB's.

Also in dire need of an owner who care$.

Mine would be directed towards Ralph too. Bills fans are tired. We deserve better.

I think it did work actually... not that I agreed with it.

If I recall correctly only two of the names listed are gone now (Guy and Jauron) and Cowher isn't our head coach, so assuming that you will make the logical leap that it worked (which Im not, because it was a stupid idea then and a stupid idea now) it still has a less than 50% success rate which is below failing.

Sell the team to someone who wants to win, Ralph.

I think it indirectly worked. Having the Jauron must go Billboard brought a lot of negative attention towards the franchise and got local and national media constantly talking about it.

Ralph knowing he had the backing of the fans to dump Jauron and start over must have made the decision easier.

The one asking Cowher to come here though was never going to work.

Thank you Ralph for founding the Buffalo Bills and for all of the fond (distant) memories that we enjoyed because of that.

Now please do us all one last favor and sell the team to someone through whom testosterone and lucidity still flow.

We have suffered enough.

Again not a leap in logic Im willing to take. One could easily argue being a laughing stock on the national scene provided just as much indirect pressure and that on the field results provided far more direct pressure.

Sell the team to someone who wants to win in buffalo, Ralph.

Fixed, or else he'll just sell the team and we'll all be screwed with the Oklahoma City Bombers or some nonsense.

BUFFALO BILLS FOOTBALL: The more things change, the more they stay the same.

I am confused how Ralph is responsible for the lack of offensive production that we saw yesterday. I know the sentiment that Ralph doesn't spend money, but I have never heard that he made demands that Trent stay.

Also, I have never heard that he anything except a desire to win.

I know we are frustrated, but I fail to see how he is the entire problem. I guess I could take that a step further and say that I don't really know if there isn't a solution to the problem in place.

Two days ago, we had some that were doing the annual "I think we'll surprise a lot of people" thing, and the "realists" that knew we wouldn't win more than 2 games. Either way, I don't think even us homers considered this season a lock. There has been a lot of talk of how many years it will take to get it right, but after one game, we're going after Ralph?

I don't even think the problem is Chan. I thought about it all night, and although it may seem like a simple answer, it has to boil down to Edwards isn't a game day QB. He might have great hair, and look good in practice, but when the pressure is on, he cracks.

I think either Fitzy, and maybe Brohm, would be a better option. Fitzy at least puts us in a spot to take some chances, and to make somebody think we are at least going to try. Brohm, who I am a fan of, is the unknown. I know he has had his struggles, but he's been in one game that counted.

I don't think that Chan is going to like looking like a moron too long, and if it is Edwards that is too scared to do what he needs to do, then it is Edwards that will be benched. It isn't going to take too long to realize that he is never going to give you, in a game, what he gave you in practice. A billboard won't be necessary.

How about something for the players that actually try? The guys that see their chances at a championship grown slimmer by the 3 and out, that give their blood, sweat, and tears to this team? I know we would never do anything positive, because that isn't what you do anymore. We have to let them know what the OWE us.

Its simple people want to blame somebody and he's a common target. Deserved or undeserved is not the point. People are pissed off (and have every right to be) and are going to lash out in every direction.

you might want to say > instead of <. < is less than. we already have that in abundance on our team. We are looking for a QB who can throw > than 30 yards. and he doesn't have to just be a bomb machine, he has to be willing to throw a 15 yard seam pass with a defender on him.
