First off, I just want to say my wild theory on why the Bills will be leaving Buffalo comes on the eve of the news of high ranking Air Force officals and their claim of extra terrestrial life. So with that said anything is possible...
I really think the Chris Kelsey re-signing is a step in the many moves over the last 5 yrs to disassociate fan interest so the team can be moved.
OBD KNOWS that fans do not want Chris Kelsey signed. Trust me, they have PR guys who tediously monitor their official site message boards, daily, even hourly. Every organization does it to gauge fan interest and to work on quality control of their team, company, or product. What is the ONE move that would anger and dissociate Bills fans the most this season? Yep thats right, The extension of Chris Kelsey. Its a 2 year plan to dismantle the fan hood of the Buffalo Bills. So whats year 2 of the plan? The Lockout, You can bet without a doubt RW and his family are hoping for a lockout. What is the quietest way to move a franchise? When fan interest is at an all time low, and coming off of a 3-13 or worse season (where we will see multiple blacked out home games) fan interest will be lower than it has been since the 1980's. The lockout could not come at a better time for Ralph and his family.
That brings me to my next point the draft. How many head scratching draft picks have we seen over the last 5 years. I know, it dosn't need to be brought up again but Nagata over Whitner, trading up for McCargo. Selecting a RB in the 1st round of the draft. Now some will say that selecting a electric RB in the 1st round should peak fan interest, yes, but it dosn't= wins. Which goes back to my point above, RW and his family desperately need the Bills to tank the season so that a 2012 move is in the works. Anyone knows that if they addressed the line this would be a much better team.
My next point in the plan to move the Bills involves none other than long time hero Jim Kelly. I believe good old Jimbo has been on the books with Ralph and his family to promote this so called "group of people" he has to buy the Bills. Kelly has always been a spotlight me first type figure, and what a better way to boost his reputation and fandom than to associate his name with the purchase of the Bills. How much would you like to bet Jimmy boy has his so called "financial backers" back out at the last second when the team is up for sale. I can see it now, Kelly is a perfect scapegoat, it will never be his fault when his "financial backers" (who operate in the shadows of anonymity mind you, if they even exist) back out last second. When/if that happens how much would you like to bet his fictional "financial backers" will not be exposed. To "protect their reputation". It's a win, win for Kelly its keeps him in the media spotlight and boosts his rep with the fans. Two things he seems enamored with. When the deal to buy the Bills fails, Kelly forever lives in folk lore status as the "Guy who tried to save the small town Bills" from the greedy corporate NFL....
My final point: Why was it so hard to find a HC? Could it be that the HC had to be on board with this plan? Why did guys like Schotty jr and other coordinators turn down the job? I know, I know, its a "lack of talent" but we see coordinators ALL the time take lesser jobs, with untalented rebuilding teams. Ex: Todd Haley, leaving one of the most explosive offenses in the NFL to go to Kansas City Chiefs. Fact is, when a HC job is made available and you have a chance to move up in the coaching ranks of the NFL you take it, because their is always a fall back job with your original position in the NFL. Essentially you are playing with house money. If your team succeeds it's cake, if not you go back to your old coordinator position. The NFL is a good ol' boys club. Look at Mularkey and Gregg Williams...Maybe, just maybe Chan Gailey had an agreement with Ralph Wilson to start Trent Edwards in the first 2 games to assure the Bills would indeed get off to a horrible start, with the assurance that Gailey will keep his job for a yr and get a fresh start with the new franchise.
Is my theory crazy and out there, you bet and it's prob. not true, but hey after reading this today anything is possible......

WASHINGTON - Armed with declassified documents and vivid details, a group of former Air Force officers gathered Monday to go public with an assertion they have kept mostly under wraps for decades: that UFOs visited the bases they were stationed at and caused nuclear weapon system to temporarily malfunction.
The group, convened by UFO researcher Robert Hastings, came to the National Press Club in Washington to discuss their individual experiences and to urge a government that tried to ignore and silence them when they came forward years ago to finally come clean.
Hastings said he believes that visitors from outer space are fixating on nuclear weapons because they want to send a message: Disarm before the world destroys itself.
Robert Salas, a former missile launch officer at Malmstrom Air Force Base, said that 10 nuclear missiles were suddenly and inexplicably disabled in March 1967 at the Montana installation after members of his flight security team saw a "large glowing, pulsating red oval-shaped object" about 30-40 feet in diameter hovering over the front gate. When he reported the incident to his superiors the next day, he was told to keep quiet.
"What you have heard today is evidence of a phenomenon. It sounds fantastic, and it is fantastic," said Salas, after he and his fellow officers from other bases in the Western U.S. shared similar accounts. The government, Salas said, is "deliberately withholding the facts, continuously since 1969 and, by doing so, do not allow the people of this country to engage in the decision regarding events that are clearly a national security issue for concern all of us. We're simply asking for the truth."
From 1947 to 1969, the Air Force investigated unidentified flying objects under what was called Project Blue Book. Of a total of 12,618 sightings under the program, 701 remained "unidentified." The military discontinued the program after consulting with scientists and concluding that none of the objects posed a threat to national security or could be identified as "extraterrestrial."
When asked to comment on the new assertions, an Air Force spokeswoman cited a 2005 fact sheet that said: "Since the termination of Project Blue Book, nothing has occurred that would support a resumption of UFO investigations."
Hastings said he has heard of a UFO incident occurring at Malmstrom as recently as 2007.
The declassified documents Hastings presented at Monday's news conference include decades-old government memos detailing reports of sightings of objects in the skies above Alabama, Montana, New Mexico and North Dakota.
"The American people have a right to know the facts," Hastings told reporters. "This is a national security issues but it is (also) a need-to-know issue, a right-to-know issue. Citizens in every country on Earth should be let in on this secret."
Hastings said he has talked to 120 former or retired U.S. military about the presence of UFOs at nuclear weapons sites across the United States and around the globe as early as 1945, when the world entered the nuclear age with the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. For some of the officers who came forward Monday, going public wasn't easy.
Bruce Fenstermacher, a missile combat crew commander at F.E. Warren Air Force Base in Cheyenne, Wyo., was "laughed at" by superiors when he reported a UFO sighting at a launch site that one of his sergeants had passed on to him, he said. He decided to keep his head low after that.
"I was very careful about who I told what," he said. "I was concerned. I don't want to be considered a kook. But I think it's more important to come out and tell our story."
