Phil, in the same post you are arguing both sides. You say Ralph should have ignored what I recall was a vile insult hurled at his daughter and then you chastise Royal for name calling.

I’ve built a couple of significantly different businesses. One of them was a restaurant, a high end restaurant in NYC. I had a very good chef that I had gone to a lot of trouble to recruit. One day he decided to call my wife a f-ING B word. He was fired and out the door before he could finish the sentence. A difference of opinion you can work out, but once there was name calling it was over.

Correct me if I’m wrong (like I needed to write that), but didn’t Polian get into a beef with Ralph’s daughter, which I think included some name calling. That will get yo fired every time. Butler, who for some reason is fondly remembered, put the Bills in cap hell. He did the opposite of what the Patriots have done for twenty years, kept and overpaid players past their prime.

I see that you’re relatively new here. So I will attempt to explain how things work. The deeper we get into a thread the further off the rails we get. Picture us if you will as a big family, a big dysfunctional family. This is like a family get together, the longer it goes the more contentious it gets. It doesn’t mean we don’t love each other, it’s just that some off us are smarter than others, some of us are right others are just wrong. I hope that helps.

None of the people being pointed at are the reason for the drought. With all deference to the man, the fault lies with Ralph Wilson. He and he alone is responsible for the parade of incompetence at One Bills Drive.

Yes, according to Fairburn.

And he’s still a jerk. Article in the Athletic by Matthew Fairburn. Takes no responsibility, blames anyone and everything. “You know what’s funny?” Williams said. “When I was in Buffalo, I knew something was wrong when they drafted Jonathan Williams. I knew something was up. Y’all had alternative plans. Y’all bring Reggie Bush to camp and allowed him to practice? Reggie Bush went negative rushing yards for the season. And y’all release me? Doug Whaley can eat a dick. Doug Whaley can die in a hole and drink bleach. I’m dead serious. The reason I didn’t play in the XFL is because Doug Whaley’s name was on it. I’m dead serious.”

I don’t understand why no love for “AC” Al Cowlings. He was the fifth overall pick and the only reason was because OJ wanted his buddy in Buffalo. This might be the worst reason to draft someone in the history of the NFL.

For me it’s not as much of a relocation as it is a new seat altogether. I’ve pretty much been sitting in this chair twelve hours a day for weeks. I’m guessing by the time the season gets here I’ll need a new one.

I think Earl Morrall might have been the best back up.

I get that part, ranking your own players or players you’re looking to sign sure, but making a list of every starting QB?

GMs rank every starting QB in the league on performance and their contract?

Wasn’t hurt at all. I found the premise to be absurd regardless of Allen’s ranking. You can rank a player on ability, you can rank contract value, but what is the point of merging those two things?

Ha, I was trying to send a link from the app.

I couldn’t figure out a link, it is in the NFL App. I guess what he is attempting to do is rank each QB based on ability and contract cost. Not sure what relevance that has. He sure hates Josh Allen, ranks him 23, right after Gardner Minshew.

Yes No

What idiot made that schedule? So four West coast trips?

Aside from AFC East and NFC West who do the Bills play?

Yesterday I watched first half of last season condensed version on Game Pass. Gore was done by the Washington game, from that point on when Singletary was rested the running game was Josh or jet sweeps. They need a second RB.

I kind of liked the mouth running part, but he couldn’t stop the run. That could well be a result of him free lancing.

I’d like them to draft both Taylor and Swift just because.

This has nothing to do with this topic, but I’m confused by Wade. If he is only going to be a PS guy what’s the point? No one seems to think he has a shot at making the roster and he’s pushing thirty.

As someone else said Ralph Wilson was a great person, but not a great owner. As a team owner his missteps were numerous. He was however very good for the league, especially the AFL. Watch the documentary series “Full Color Football”, Ralph was integral to AFL survival and the merger. I meet Ralph in a hotel lobby in Palm Beach. I told him I was a Bills fan he stopped and talked Bills with me. His face lit up when he spoke about the Bills. He loved the team and it’s fans.

How about A.J. Dillon?

I’m shocked by that RB TD number, do you think that’s a function of Allen being their best short yardage option? And Gore’s ineffectiveness? Singletary was a TD machine in college, seems to me he was not on field in goal line situations.
