I'm guessing that your owner hasn't found his next Bill Polian to assemble a winning football team.

On February 4, 1993, after the Bills had appeared in their 3rd straight Super Bowl, Polian was fired as general manager. Polian wasn't fired because he wasn't doing a good job, he was fired because he didn't get along with treasurer, Jeff Littmann, for reasons unknown to all except those close to owner Wilson, Littmann and Polian himself.

In his closing press conference, Polian said of the team that he built, "They're a very special group of men. Cherish them, you will not see their like again."


Ask yourself: What on earth would cause a football GM and a treasurer (aka "Money Man") to clash to the point where they couldn't work together? Personally, I can only think of ONE reason that a GM and treasurer would clash at all...

The last bolded sentence, after 11 seasons of not even making the playoffs, should also ring very true.

I have no problem with the 90's. We won all the time.

Since 99...it is easy...the curse of benching Flutie.

I do have a notorious sports curse, but I was a fan during the SB seasons of the early 90's, so it must be something else. I think we used up 2 decades' worth of luck on the Comeback Game and it's been biting us in the ass ever since.

Realistically though, it comes down to two things: Ralph and free agency. The game changed and Ralph refused to change with it.
