A week before the Draft, the Buffalo Bills traded their only All-Pro player, disgruntled left tackle Jason Peters, to the Philadelphia Eagles for a First Round pick and a Fourth Round pick. During the Dick Jauron era, the Bills struggled to three consecutive 7-9 seasons. It’s an open secret that if the Bills don’t make the playoffs this season, senile owner Ralph Wilson will fire the entire coaching staff. That explains the desperation signing of Terrell Owens. The Bills need more talent to compete in the AFC East where they lost ALL of their games to their division rivals last year: the Jets, the Patriots, and the Dolphins. However, after missing the playoffs for 10 years, the Bills are mired in mediocrity. I suspect their fortunes won’t change until the ownership changes.
I’m a big NFL fan, and I haven’t thought about the Bills in years, not since the Jim Kelly era. Didn’t know Wilson was senile. Was that meant as hyperbole, or is he really ga-ga these days? I knew he was ancient…
Ralph Wilson, one of original AFL owners, is 90 years old. If Wilson makes it, he’ll be inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame this summer.
