As soon as the NFL goes uncapped... the BUFFALO Bills won't have a chance!

Now, when they are the Los Angeles Bills... who knows! :sadbye:

I don't agree.

I don't either. The Bills survived 30 years without a cap. They went to 4 Superbowls without a cap.

Now, if revenue sharing goes away, then the Bills are done.

How the heck do you figure that? It makes no sense at all. What we can't bid for the top FA's? Since when HAVE WE? Draft well, try to keep them. If you can't so be it. No CBA means 6 years before a guy can become a UFA, not 4. Draft well, put together a great staff and system that players will want to play for and it all works out in the end.

Caps do allow for parity but there are still ways to be successful in an unbalanced system. It is a totally different beast, but look at the baseball formula. The Oakland A's and Minnie Twins built successful teams on a minimum amount of salaries. The Bills will just need to play Moneyball...make smart draft choices and free agent signings of unsung heroes...it isn't easy, but it certainly isn't impossible.

The Bills, and about 10 other teams, at least.

When you think about it, salary cap coincided with the tail end of the Bills SB run. Can you say Will Wolford?

Are you not reading the posts? Losing the cap won't cause the Bill's to implode it would be the loss of revenue sharing. Revenue sharing gives the small market teams a large influx of money. While it is true that there will be the Redskins and Cowboys throwing money at everyone out there but easily would still be possible to field a good team.

That's nonsense. They obviously won't be the Bills when they move to LA. :snicker2:
