BackInDaDay Posted March 11, 2015 Posted March 11, 2015 i've been a fan since the Kemp days, and watched the AFL and NFL evolve into the monolithic business it is now.. and this is the first time since the Jones and Snyders began throwing their money and weight around, that i've felt like my team could and would compete for coaches and players. a guy could get used to this... thanks, Pegula family.. and go Bills

Paup, Speilman, Lofton, Spikes, Mario, Owens, Fletcher, to name a few big name guys off the top of my head quick.
BillsMakeMeShout Posted March 11, 2015 Posted March 11, 2015 Thank you Ralph for all you did, but that ship has now sailed.
billsfan89 Posted March 11, 2015 Posted March 11, 2015 Coaches, perhaps, but we've been in the game for big name players ever since I can remember. Paup, Speilman, Lofton, Spikes, Mario, Owens, Fletcher, to name a few big name guys off the top of my head quick. During the Donahue era the team was actually able to get free agents. Fletcher, Spikes, Sam Adams, Lawyer Milloy, even Troy Vincent (The issue was the less than stellar drafting, poor head coaches, and letting the teams own talent walk). Even before that Paup, Speilman, and Lofton were all big grabs. But it feels good to know that the Mario Williams deal wasn't some one off fluke that the team could really spend money if needed and isn't afraid to swing.
Miyagi-Do Karate Posted March 11, 2015 Posted March 11, 2015 The last time we made a splash like this was signing Jeff Posey at 12:01 am at the opening of free agency. I would say we have come a long way since then.

Miyagi-Do Karate Posted March 11, 2015 Posted March 11, 2015 lol - i was trying to remember his name, this afternoon! thanks! I remember when we signed him-- it was so shocking. That was probably the last time we have had a GM as aggressive as Whaley.
White Linen Posted March 11, 2015 Posted March 11, 2015 Thank you Ralph for all you did, but that ship has now sailed. Ralph is the reason we have the Pegula's so his ship is firmly anchored.
