How does this guy know this? 

 

Forbes listed their revenue at $563 with margin of $116 million.  

Not a misprint.  That's $563.00 cash on hand.

Didn't Ralph save the Patriots too?

 

There was a loan by Ralph Wilson during AFL years but not as significant as it was for Raiders.

Unless I missed an update, haven’t they already settled?

Did not see that article.  Evidently they settled for less for otherwise Raiders would have paid year by year since they are money tight.

The interim head coach guided the team through all that Gruden turmoil and into the playoffs. That despite what was a very mediocre roster. Instead of giving Bisaccia the chance to take the helm for a full season, they decided to give big money to a proven HC failure. Not to mention every HC I can remember hired directly from the Belichick tree has failed in spectacular fashion. 
 

Bad decisions on top of bad decisions by Davis.

I get that they made the playoffs a year ago, and spent on new players - but they went 7-2 in 1 score games and 4-0 in OT.  

 

As for this year?  The offense hasn't been amazing set the world on fire, but they're mostly fine.  The defense however, has been among the worst in the NFL.  They have 3 interceptions, and 6 total takeaways in 9 games, 28th in yards and points allowed, they dont stop the pass or run really.  Chandler Jones got Miller money, and has .5 sacks. 

 

Then fired their interim coach who led them to that record to hire this dumpster fire.

Like father, like son. Ralph Wilson had to bail out Al Davis back in the day to save the franchise.

Ralph was not cheap.

Another franchise that Ralph bailed out later had an owner who claimed to be a fan of the team for his whole life before he bought them. You’d think that new owner would appreciate Ralph.  Instead, he actively spit on Ralph’s grave by trying to get his friend Jon Bon Jersey to buy the Bills and move them out of Buffalo.  At least the Davis’ aren’t on that level of reprobate.

 

Interesting. I am not familiar with this owner? Who was it?

He also gets happy endings at strip malls from women who were definitely not trafficked.

They can probably let Daniels go though

Something is simply not right with this family.

Thry also blew 3 3 pt leads to lose and 6 of the 7 were one score losses with them having the ball to tie/win innthe 4th.

 

in th3 nfl its about this good/ bad luck.  This would be a team that coukd bounce back in 23

 

Jacksonville is another team who have a bunch of one score losses.

 

Minnesota last year had a bunch of one score losses and it came down to the final 5 min of the game

 

one score losses are small margins to overcome in an off-season.

This can't be true. The TV revenue plus the new stadium makes a lot of money. The league makes around 20 billion a year. This has to be BS. 

He’s not liquid. I know a bunch of rich people that are not liquid enough to purchase a 4 million dollar airplane. They actually have to take out a loan. As crazy as it sounds banks love to hand out a $4 million loan for something is crazy as an airplane because these people absolutely have it.
 

One guy owns a suuuuuuper swanky hotel in Miami, bought a 4.875 million dollar airplane, didn’t like it and right away committed to buy a 5.75 million dollar airplane but couldn’t close until he sold the first one. All the time he already owns G650 (50mill)
