dwight in philly

curious, why all the hush hush about the plan? why cant a comment or two come from him, or someone within the hierarchy be made to soothe us?

i sure hope you are right, obviously, it is what i want to believe and hope beyond hope , it is true. the headline in PROFOOTBALLTALK.COM makes me nervous though.

completely correct!, if he is not satisfied, sell the friggin team! but he obviously wont because he, like the rest of the NFL, are printing money!. sick of his complaining "small market " B S continuously.

i am not envious of ralph's. or anyone's "money", it is the owners , including ralph, of trying to squeeze every last cent they can, in the name of "fiscal responsibily". i totally understand the nuances of maintaining a small market team like the bills and keeping it viable, but where does it end. last time i checked, most private enterprises do not get subsidies to maintain their business as ralph does from erie county. the points could be argued endlessly concerning the economics of the NFL, but i steadfastly maintain that ralph is cheap.

cool, name-calling.. best you got pal? dont let a point missed get in your way of calling someone an "idiot"

well said my friend..

but they are profitable, not everybody can be rich. again, if he isnt rich enough, let someone else buy it. there are plenty of local prospects who are not as greedy as ralph.

why not raise the price of tickets??? what is so wrong about that?he could always sell if he doesnt like his return. he wont though, wonder why, couldnt be because he is making money hand over fist could it? his meddling and poor judgments made over the years has been based on advice from littman and the detroit crew, it is bottom line mentality. not that there is anything wrong with that, but it is old and tiring.

it would not surprise me that it may be ralph. despite all the kudos he gets for keeping the team in buffalo, his tightness is legendary, he is greedy, plain and simple. cue the all the ralph defenders and how we are a small market, etc, etc, etc,..and he is watching out for us.. yada yada .. please..

that is a pretty negative comment, why the need to say something like that?

i think the bills really have a nice crop of receivers. getting evans involved obviously improves the offense. i am an eternal optimist when it comes to the bills and the skill positions seem in tremendous shape to me. sure tight end seems to be an ever-lasting concern, but RB's and wide-outs seem above average , to me.

i hope it is a moot point also, but i hate the toronto game regardless. i sure hope next year is the last one!

anytime i hear buffalo not in any mix for potentially moving, i am a happy guy. however, i do feel a certain amount of sympathy for minnesota. they have a loyal fan base and really should not lose their team. the rest of the cities mentioned, have no problem. jacksonville is obvious and it would be appropriate and just, if they moved.

i did like this year's draft , it seemed like nix was not trying to outsmart anyone, just went ahead and focused on making the team better. as for those crappy drafts during the levy GM period, it almost seemed like they were trying to be too cute, "avant-garde" , because all those picks you mentioned that they did make or that they passed on, did not make sense to any rational bills fan.

that does make sense.just makes you madder, even though you knew at the time, they were drafting stiffs and we kept scratching our heads. who DID make the john mccargo call anyway!

the ralph did not make the top 10. it rec'd one vote in the "also ran" category essentially. how times have changed! i used to love hearing how tough it was for visiting teams to cope with the noise and elements of the ralph. when your team has been a punch line for a decade, this is what you get, a legacy tarnished.

agree with him. his caveat of giving the fans kudos did it for me. i have been a wilson non-believer for years, a bills die-hard since 1960, sometimes the truth hurts.

just "old school" i guess. the throwbacks were fantastic at the original time they were worn, have never looked better recently, nothing better than tradition, classic, and that is what the white helmets represent, at least to me.

here here !, i have tried to appreciate ralph over the years, but more often than not, he does something that just pis-es me off. i will not enumerate all of them, as most on here know of them going all the way back to his demanding the city expand war memorial or else. (perhaps it was justified at the time). be that as it may, its been constant whinning to being a "small market" and all his knee-jerk personnel decisions over the years that has generally hamstrung the franchise. the toronto game seals it for me! he has no business grabbing money by compromising home field advantage. i do not buy into the "needed regionalization" of the team. they are making money , if he isnt, sell the G-D team then!. but he wont!.. he is printing money over at one bills drive

i agree, i think any pub for the bills is good. nationally, we are irrelevant, as we all know, but just yesterday i was talking to a guy that works out at my gym here in philly. the guy , a native from philly , could not have been more gracious regarding his comments about the bills, after he found out i was from buffalo. he went on and on about how he and his dad loved watching the bills during the early 80's with fergy and company. he loves watching games from the ralph, seeing the passionate fans, the weather etc. he made my day. this guy was glad they were changing back to the white helmets and was unhappy about them playing a game in toronto. the guy knew his stuff and i think alot of us on here suffer needlessly when we hear some shot taken at the bills or buffalo from some national blowhard. in spite of so many miscues made over the years by the mgmt(lead by wilson), knowledgeable fans appreciate the franchise's proud legacy. the team should embrace any opportunity it can to recapture its place in football relevancy, despite, what i am sure will be howls of laughter nationally, if the bills did do hard knocks.

i respectfully disagree about the need for a new stadium. in my opinion, the stadium is fine as long as upgrades are made as needed , much like lambeau. in a pure football sense i think the ralph works fine, however, if one is looking for that panacea for the area (bass pro)in the form of a stadium, i think that is a different issue. building the retractable dome on the waterfront seems impractical based on the economic realities.

ok, i feel a bit better, only exposed to the printed reports from the internet, did not see any quotes visually from him.
