I understand that selling the team after his death may be the best financial decision for Ralph's family, but I have a hard time believing that there is no consideration for public opinion. If the team were simply auctioned off to the highest bidder (say, from out of town), Ralph would be vilified. Considering the wealth that the family has already accumulated (and are set to received regardless of even the most stringent tax), I would think that there must be some consideration of this. I know I could be mistaken, but it seems crazy to cast aside Ralph's legacy so flippantly.

Honestly guys, I think Ralph is too old to really care about the football operations. Instead of being an owner to whom the top employees are accountable, I think he pushes that role to the front office, thereby creating an atmosphere where people keep their jobs a bit too long if underperforming. The Bills pay the price, but can you really blame him? There is more to life than involving yourself in the day-to-day operations of a football team, especially when you're as old as he is. Instead of calling his performance into question, we should wonder why he is adamant about keeping the team until his death. He should have already sold it to an owner who is involved enough to foster accountability within the organization, and I think Ralph may be past that stage. Just to be clear, I could be 100% wrong about Ralph's current involvement, and my post is pure speculation. It's just the impression that I get.

I'll say it again: run on first and second down every time, pass only on 3rd downs, and we end up with a better record than we have now. Chan calling 3 straight passing plays to open up the second half was horrendous.

Hairston has done a decent job of filling in, but I still can't wait to have Glenn back.

Call me naive, but I am legitimately surprised that there are people who would remain fans (of the team) if the team moved.

I don't think it's bad. In fact, I completely agree with it. You avoid the guys with red flags, pick a guy who looks like he has all the tools...and then you hope. In the end it's still a coin flip (at the top of the 1st round).

I'm also for Geno Smith or Tyler Wilson. Dysert in a later round is intriguing, but this is the year we need to move up for the top 1 or 2 prospect.

ha. nice.

Wilson! Murray! Smith! etc.etc.

+1

Is this based on anything? Anything in the past 5 years? 10 years?

He was leading with the top of his helmet. I'm shocked he wasn't penalized. I'm not saying he should have been for our sake, but I'm very surprised the referees didn't throw the flag on at least two occasions.

He just said he wouldn't consider defensive coaching changes.

Week in, week out. Just run the ball on 1st and 2nd, and pass if it's 3rd and more than 3. I'm convinced this basic formula would lead to more success.

While TJ Graham was open, it's not what makes your post so funny.

I think what hurts so much is that we have so many of the components that take a long time to build. The lines, many of the skill positions. It's not so much that this season is likely toast, but that any sort of optimistic mentality by the team will be long gone.

I just can't believe it. I know this is Buffalo football so I should expect it, but wow. They find ways to lose games they've already won.

It's true, Nelson was a huge loss. I wrote "devastating" at the time, and I'm sticking by it. Regardless, how is our defense so miserable?

This game doesn't feel like we're only down by 1.

I have this feeling that we will all be expecting a round 1 QB, and Nix will take a WR or LB instead.

Let's say Landry plays well for the entire season. Does Nix use his logic of drafting players who have played well their entire collegiate careers (thereby passing on him)?

Surely you're not talking about Landry Jones? I wonder what the list looks like at the end of the year, and then after all the combine hoopla.

Kids in Isla Vista... Still, doesn't excuse the violence.

It's time for the BIG GAME!
