Consider:
* The on-the-field product is awful, especially this year.
* The owner is a nonagenarian who hasn't been seen much since the Buddy Nix hiring.
* The team has major holes at pretty much every position except running back.
* Teams in Detroit and Cleveland are in a similar mired situation and also show no signs of getting out of it.
* Coaches are spurning the opportunity to coach here, left and right.
* The same front office that destroyed this team in 2001 has still not built it back up again-- and yet is still here.
* The players they draft all seem to be busts.
* The team is going on 11 years with no playoffs, an obscene total in a league supposedly committed to parity.
So, I'm going to put this out there: can the Buffalo Bills, as a National Football League franchise, be saved? Can this team be built back to a playoff team? Or, is it doomed to be stuck in a losing position forever? Obviously, moving the team would mean it wouldn't be the Buffalo Bills anymore, but would moving the team to a stronger market (e.g. LA, Toronto, even Raleigh) bring a solution to the problem?
