    Nothing will change until Wilson sells

    People can whine and cry all day about the mistakes and how it's new people, new GM and yet same embarrassing problems are happening, the fact is, we're run like a mafia with people behind the screens calling the shots and despite several firings last year, the same mafia people are still employed.

    From Mort's chat on espn.com -

    The owner and the people who whisper in his ear need to just back off and let his football people do their job. Ralph Wilson Jr is in the Hall of fame because of what he did in the 60s and I do believe his loyalty to Buffalo is admirable. But he fired Bill Polian and John Butler couldn't wait to get out of there. And there were a lot of good things Tom Donahoe was doing, and could have continued doing, if he had been left alone. I know those aren't popular words but the best hope now is give GM Buddy Nix and HC Chan Gailey the resources and leave them alone!

    It will sure change then. We'll be in Toronto or Los Angeles.
    Should have known, way back in 1960 when we drafted Richie Lucas Number 1, that this would be a long, hard ride. But who could have known it would be THIS bad?

    It's what many of us have been saying all along, until the old fart poops his pants for the last time we are doomed to be lousy. After he does we are doomed to be without football. Short and sour.

    When Ralph dies, I'm not sure the new owner can afford to keep the Bills in Buffalo

    Exactly. Our true victory this team isn't somehow make the playoffs, or the #1 pick but its Jim Kelly to talk Wilson to sell to local people.

    donahoe did put together a top 5 defense...if only he could have checked his ego at the door and let a real seasoned coach run the team, they might have actually done something.

    even though he was part of the "failing to draft well with the top pick", he would get servicable people later in the draft. from 2006 to now, we literally have very little in the way of servicable draft players.

    He actually was able to bring free agents to Buffalo.

    Donahoe also fixed the cap jail that Butler put the franchise in.

    I can't wish anybody dead, but it would be really nice if Jeff Littman would retire.

    Really another thread with basically the same title? How many have there been now in the last 6 months? Probably at least 6.

    Do we really need this thread AGAIN?

    Be prepared to be slammed. I am not saying it's not possible, or that there would be anything wrong with you "just sayin'," but you are supposed to say they'll never stay in Buffalo. You don't need a link for that, but anything else, with no link..ooh, Bubba, they're coming for you!

    If there's any truth to the rumor, it would surely be The Donald putting up the money, and Jimbo running the football side of the operation.

    I'm not sure if I can picture the Donald buying a football team. But having Kelly run the team while Trump reaps the rewards would be fine with me.

    Why not?

    Trump owned the New Jersey Generals.
