Woe need to pull an Indy

[BillsOverDolphins]

Luckily, we may just be thatbad anyways--but think about it, fellas. What's the only thing that can give this franchise real hope for the future? A reason to be excited. A reason to stay.

Matt Barkley changes the dynamics of everything (assuming he doesn't pull an Eli). We are staring down the barrel of another 6-10 season right now, and deep down you all know that. The high-drafted QBs of the last several years have been hitting at impressive rates, and their teams have benefitted from it. Even the Dolphins are trying it now (even though I honestly believe Tannehill blows).

If the old geezers and incessant sunshiners on here can look past a much-needed tank job this season, then the future will be bright for the next 10 years.


We HAVE to get Barkley--at all costs--so do your part to support the 2012 tank.

Re: Woe need to pull an Indy

Nix, Gailey and the rest of the coaching staff would probably not want to be unemployed in 2013. The Bills aren't going to tank the season. And personally, I wouldn't support it. That's not a professional football team. I acknowledge that Fitz is never going to hold the Lombardi trophy, nor is he a long term solution behind center. Franchise QB's are difficult to come by, but tanking a full season, being at week 2, isn't a proud way of obtaining one.

Re: Woe need to pull an Indy

Seems like the people that want us to be bad end up being the same ones to complain about us actually being bad. I want to win.

Also Barkley is being overhyped because he's the most recognize able name in the next QB class. I guarantee people won't be craving him once more QBs emerge.

Worst idea ever.

Wasn't that the thinking in 2001? And look at how that worked out. We fired the HC, got the new and mostly untested qb to be our starter and we made the playoffs every year and won multiple superbowls and play . . . wait, that's not what happened at all.

We're a year late on that idea

lol. I guess that makes the Bills the biggest losers of all. 12 years and counting!

Only complete and total ineptitude is to blame.
There are certain owners I like and other I dont, and I am 100% that many of the competent ones know the value of losing a lost year so you can win for the next 12. If 32 of the poster, including myself, were NFL owners, I would own most of you most of the time. Lose 1yr and win the next 12, then lose again and so on, ala the Colts (did it 2x - first was Manning, a few years before getting Manning they almost made it to the Superbowl and last year was the second and again they were the winning-est team of previous 12 years)

BTW: The Bills, who do not use such an obvious strategy, have a historical win percentage bellow .500! Over all the Bills are a loser.

There is no proud way of obtaining one. Is it better to suck so bad that you end up 1-15 and get a TOP QB or is it better to an 8-8 team that goes through certain 'events' and ends up 1-15 with a star QB?

I would rather pull a Giants.

Who was the top 2 QB we drafted?

Re: Woe need to pull an Indy

no player is going to tank a season... they want to keep their jobs. this tank a season talk is gibberish now just like its been for 10 years now

Re: Woe need to pull an Indy

It is patently ridiculous to talk seriously about the Bills' tanking.

Call me an old geezer, which I definitely am, or an incessant sunshiner, which I'm not, but no one in the Bills' organization with an ounce of integrity or an iota of competitive spirit will do anything to purposely lose games.

It's absurd. Please stop.

lol competitive spirit. I'm glad you finally woke up from your 13-year coma...I'm sure somebody here can fill you in on the "competitive spirit" we've displayed while you were sleeping.
