"Exiting Sabres owner willing to buy Bills" ESPN.com AFCEast Blog: Tim Graham

I wouldn't mind seeing the Bills as something other than a doormat. It'd be good for the AFC East to get stronger and more competitive. 'course, I still trust Rex & Co. to deliver the win(s), but I remember a time when the Bills were good, and that shouldn't be ancient history.

Likewise, they should stay in Buffalo. I suppose the Bills' management needs to start talking about heading west so Golisano gets in. What other options exist for ownership that stays in Buffalo?

 

You should be enjoying these years and kicking them while they're down. Like you said, wasn't too long ago the Bills went to four straight SBs and owned our div. The NFL is funny like that.

Personally, I hope the Bills stay in Buffalo. I like our division the way it is, heated rivalries all the way through.

 

This is true. I just don't want a doormat team that's more or less an excuse to pad the stats, because I prefer Rex & Co. to be well honed come playoff time, and doormats might not provide that. The Bills don't have to be a mortal playoff threat, but I'd rather them be better than they are.

I could be wrong---an amateur's brief glance at their 2010 performance suggests that if a few things went their way, they'd have a better record. What I don't know is what kind of prospects they have for future success (defined as "not 4-12 but not 12-4") given what appears to be the future of the team. Back of the napkin figuring suggests that they could have had up to six more wins, so maybe I'm worrying too much about the Bills, although the conventional wisdom says that a good team will find a way to win in overtime, although the Bills did manage to lose in every overtime.

Agreed. Makes for more enjoyment for me, and well, this is supposed to be for our benefit, so here's to heated rivalries.

 

Why would a proven business man want to invest in an NFL team? I thought they weren't making enough money? Guy must be off his rocker. /sarcasm
