BarleyNY Posted June 18, 2017 Posted June 18, 2017 Someone should tell the Patriots about these details. They are, of course, exempt.
Augie Posted June 18, 2017 Posted June 18, 2017 They are, of course, exempt. Yeah, I was kidding. How about: Ralph is cheap? The guy who gave away about a BILLION dollars after his death and the sale of the team. Maybe: Ralph is frugal - except when he's not?
Tcali Posted June 18, 2017 Posted June 18, 2017 i assume someone has mentioned that TT has zero ability to throw one
re enlightener Posted June 18, 2017 Posted June 18, 2017 sammy ran one last year, he tried has hard has he could to fall down when someone got near him but everyone kept getting blocked, he ended up running 20 yards sideways and 4 yards forward when he could have manned up and taken it to the house. He is just too scared to get hurt and wants to go down tim brown style. When will you all here get a clue of how afraid he is to take any contact??? its why hes ran 1 screen in 3 years, coaches saw it, when will you?

So you're saying we don't run WR screens because Sammy says so? I find that hard to believe. I'm pretty sure we don't run screens to Sammy because they aren't effective (unlike his college days where he was defended by future podiatrists and Hyundai finance managers) *embellishment*

BringBackFergy Posted June 18, 2017 Author Posted June 18, 2017 Myth: Ralph Wilson belongs in the Hall of Fame.I see this as a truth. In fact, all of the original owners deserve their spot in the Hall of Fame.
SlimShady'sSpaceForce Posted June 18, 2017 Posted June 18, 2017 Myth: Ralph Wilson belongs in the Hall of Fame.:thumbs down:

JM2009 Posted June 18, 2017 Posted June 18, 2017 :thumbs down: For what he did as an original owner, I guess he does. For just an owner-win loss record, not really.
John from Riverside Posted June 18, 2017 Posted June 18, 2017 Myth: Tyrod Taylor has 37 TDs to 12 Ints and better passer ratings than many other starting QBs so he IS a good QB who just hasn't been used correctly or had enough talent to win or the defense sucked etc. How is that in any way a myth
OldTimeAFLGuy Posted June 18, 2017 Posted June 18, 2017 Yeah, I was kidding. How about: Ralph is cheap? The guy who gave away about a BILLION dollars after his death and the sale of the team. Maybe: Ralph is frugal - except when he's not? ..in all honesty Augie, I think you have to break it down into "eras of Ralph"...a huge gamble in 1960 to put up 25 grand for a fledgling AFL League.....rewards were championships in 1964 and 1965....70's and 80's were lean times where he sat back and watched his investment grow (maybe like many of us with stocks, 401K, etc) and NO re-investment....hence the "cheapskate absentee Detroit owner" moniker was born....moving into the 90's he had matured and actually enjoyed the aura of an NFL football club owner......4 consecutive SB's are a pretty good indicator.....Polian firing at the hands of Littmann started the downward spiral.....at the same time, RW never warmed up to paying top notch coaches their market value....a/k/a Kmart "blue light specials".....BUT.. the man's legacy is forever etched.....#1: crafted a plan to lock in the Bills to 2020 for staying in Buffalo...#2 his will says the entire $1.4 BILLION estate must be paid out within 20 years to CHARITIES.....thus, despite all of the ebbs and flows, the man is a true legacy in his own right and deservedly so IMO.........
Buffalo Boy Posted June 18, 2017 Posted June 18, 2017 How is that in any way a myth He's not a good QB..... that is how😉
Nanker Posted June 18, 2017 Posted June 18, 2017 Incorrect! My theory is sound...if you can show me how well Sammy has run a "bubble screen" in the NFL, I will re-evaluate. And? I remember a game where The Bills simply torched Miami all game long with about 16 screen plays - most to Thurman and Andre. Marv was laughing about it after the game. Good times.

Yeah, I was going for the Cliff Notes version. (Actually, I thought the family kept a few hundred million to get by on, but I'm not certain about the numbers.)

Maybe: Ralph is frugal - except when he's not? Yeah, I was playing along. Goodell was more than happy to protect the shield and largely spare NE when it saved face for the league. Destroyed tapes anyone? The forfeiture of one late first round draft pick for multiple SB wins was a joke. He has looked the other way a lot when it has come to PEDs and cheating. He doesn't like pushback or defiance though. That'd be evident with Deflategate and Bountygate. He quietly told the Saints to shut down their bounties when they first came to light and only nailed them after they defied him. He cut Josh Gordon some slack until he lied to him, then it was over. No more mercy.

He didn't just gamble on his own team, he gambled on the Raiders and Patriots, too.
