  1. Ralph's entire worth was wrapped in the team's value. It's kind of like having $50,000 of equity in your house because you own it, but that money isn't cash you can spend unless you sell the house.

     

    A complete misunderstanding of finances. Your house is not making you money, unless you have rental property. The Bills were making at least $20 million per year profit. Ralph also had other businesses. Which are still making the family money.

     

    To take you example to the extreme. The equity of the Bills is at least 1 Billion... so in theory RCW could have secured loans against the value to invest in other businesses.

     

    Plus, didn't RCW often loan huge amounts of money to other teams to keep them afloat. Ralph was very rich, just not Pegulia rich.

  2. Vacate the AFC East title, (this means nothing in reality, but Bills fans will love it as the Bills are now defacto Champs). Their 3 #1 draft picks go the the AFC East in order of this years finish. Jets gets 2015, Miami gets 2016 and the Bills get their 1st round 2017.


    No other team will do something that silly again as not only does it hurt you... it helps your division rivals.

  4. I don't know about anyone else but I'm sick of the Patriots constantly undermining the integrity of the league. As if it's not hard enough to beat the best QB to ever play the game, we now have to compete with cheating. As far as I know the Patriots are the only team to ever been caught blatantly cheating and fined by the league, and now it's happened twice. I don't pay good money to see that kind of crap.

     

    Shoot a quick email to the league by clicking "Other" to let them know.

    I agree. Swamp the email box is the only way to get the attention!!!! We need to save the league from itself.

  5. Wow... talk about over-valuing your worth. How many owners thought "Well if Doug abandoned the Bills after a winning season, why would he not do that to me? Where is this man's loyalty? Is it to the team or himself?.... I better find a more loyal guy.. let Marrone screw someone else".

     

    He might be blacklisted from HC for years now. Loyalty from a HC is huge to owners. They spend big bucks on HC's, they expect SOME loyalty in return.

    Also, if your a coordinator would you sign up to work for Doug? He has proven he will leave you hanging.....

  6. I fear with all of the hype.. everyone is over excited and Rex will give nothing but coach's talk... standard lines. I would if I were him. give the standard lines on how "EJ is our QB" and "looking to turn this into a Championship team" "Excited about the defense" of course "always liked the Bills fans".

     

    Once he gets the lay of the land Rex will be Rex in the future.... but today is nice things day... maybe one wise crack... Pay respects to RCW and the 90s' teams, Thank the Pegulia's

  7. Good Luck JIm Schwartz. You were great.

     

    After Marrone walked out this was not going to be smooth. We will be fine with Rex Ryan defense. Our concern has to be offense and QB.

     

    I feel bad the defense has to learn a new system AGAIN... but these guys are paid millions. Hit the damn books or IPads or whatever. Just get it done. Hit the gym, take care of your body and study. Hire maids and chefs to clean up and feed you... just focus on studying.

  8. Be angry all of the time... the best coaches are pissed off all of the time. Think about it. Think about the best coaches...always pissed off.

     

    Marv Levy was always fuming mad... on the sidelines

    Bill Parcels never smiled until the games were a blow out.

    Bill Belcheat... I don't have to say anything more

    Jim Harbaugh....

    Bill Cowher

    Mike Ditka

     

    The list is much longer... I am sure you can add to it of you think about it.

     

    ​ We just have to find a guy with massive rage issues :censored:that has good assistant coaches and let them game plan.

  9. I think Rex can do just fine. Vick was too old and flaws in his game were known league wide... Geno Smith is a mess, he was considered highly talented but a seriously deep work in progress. How is Rex's fault?... the GM screwed him with crappy talent! Yet, they were forced to put him in as a starter too soon... in NYC none the less....potentially ruining Smith.

     

    The almighty and nearly holy 0:) Chip Kelly made Sanchez serviceable at best. Rex could not do something similar at the time, that's because Sanchez stinks. The Eagles are now a "system" offense like N.E. Put anyone in there and they look better (Matt Castle). Simple and super fast.
