What can we say about a team featuring Terrell Owens, which went a very disappointing 6-10 and in the process got their head coach fired. They also happen to play one of their regular season games in a foreign country. It is a very weird time for the Buffalo Bills, who seem to be searching fro a new direction. Fired head man, Dick Jauron, didn’t have a terrible record with the team but got axed for the sake of change. Chan Gailey takes over the team, and it will be on him to get this team in the playoffs.
Before the 2009 season even began the Bills Offensive Coordinator was fired, leaving the offense to be run by former QB and new OC Alex Van Pelt. They ran the no huddle throwback offense and were able to score just 258 points, good enough for the 28th best offense in the NFL. While they completed between 55 and 60% of their passes the Bills QB’s in 2009 just threw far too many interceptions to make up for. While they gained 1,867 yards on teh ground they only scored six rushing TD’s.
Their defense faired a little better; they allowed their opponents to score 326 points, or 20.4/game. That was good enough for the 16th best 2009 NFL defense, and means they were outscored on average by just over four points a game. Had their QB’s not be so careless with the ball it seems that the Bills may have had a far better 2009 season.
Now the Bills look to complete a partial rebuild on teh fly, they need a franchise QB to take the reins of their no huddle offensive attack, and may have to be active in the trade market this spring to find such a player. However it seems that their lack of a true franchise QB will lead the Bills to reach for someone in the 2010 NFL Draft.

What?! The NFL is supposed to make it easier for unemployed people to go to games or subscribe to cable/satellite? How about instead of watching sports, they find a job? I’d rather have the working people pay for tickets and food and parking than someone who should be using whatever scratch he can find to feed and shelter his family and go job hunting. Don’t blame the NFL for selling a product to people at high prices. People will pay what they can afford and as long as the stadium is sold out, that means the price is right. Blame the politicians for driving businesses away from these hard up cities by having such high taxes and oppressive regulations no right minded entrepreneur would dare open a business there. Why do you think companies move to the suburbs or out of state or out of the country? It’s because that is the best way to make money and keep their businesses afloat which means people have jobs and produce something. I want the Bills to never leave Buffalo, but if they do leave it will be because the politicians have driven hundreds of thousands of people away from Western NY over the last 50 years. Lifting the blackout does nothing but let fans off the hook for not showing up. Put a good product on the field and the stadium will be full.

I don’t see why Parrish would be cut to free up cap room in 2010? It is highly likely that there will not be a cap nor a minimum spending floor in 2010 unless the CBA is renegotiated by March 5th and most outlets (including recent statements by Goodell) report that is unlikely. Parrish could be cut to save Ralph some cash, but not for cap room. The danger for Bills fans is that without a spending floor, it is more likely the Bills will really pinch pennies (even more than normal) and field one of the league’s lowest paid teams in 2010
