My son. Don't even need to think about it. Anyway, it wouldn't matter. By the time he is old enough to play in the NFL, the Bills will have moved away....

Yep, Polian is absolutely an hall of fame GM. Took us to 4 straight, Panthers to the NFC champ game 2nd year, and look at what he is doing with Indy. As for extracting every last cent out of the organization? He in no way is setting this team up for staying in Buffalo after his demise. He is set on wringing every last cent out of the organization so his family gets all they can from it.

The article really wraps up what we knew into a nice little package. Ralph is stuck in his ways, kinda think he believes it's the 1960's. Find it interesting that, according to the article, Ralph picked Lynch. I wonder if it was consensus in the draft room, or was he the only one who wanted him. If it was all Ralphies idea, he has to have someone feeding him this info who is not the GM or scouts. I wonder if the decision was made solely on ticket sales since we did not have a name back any longer. It really makes me wonder how many of these moves he has done before. My guess the guy behind Ralphie is Littman. This has been widely known/speculated on these boards for a long time. According to this article, it was Littman who drove Polian out. (near the bottom) http://cms.ibj.com/ASPXPages/6iframes/Fron...3&NoFrame=1 It's just painfully obvious that as long as Ralph is around, this team will not get any better. He surrounds himself with guys who will do his bidding for him like Brandon and Littman. And those guys surround themselves with guys who will do what they want, like Nix. Even though Nix is considered an excellent talent evaluator, who knows how he will do as GM, but does it really matter if he is just a mouthpiece for Brandon and Ralphie anyway? Seems like he may be just a puppet GM. I used to believe that Ralph really had an affinity for Buffalo, and that is why he wanted to keep the team here. Not anymore. I believe he is getting whatever he can from this area until he dies, and could care less what happens to the team then. All of his moves are about the bottom line, making sure his family can wring every last cent from the team before they sell it. Unless JK really does have an ownership group in place, it will be a very sad day in Buffalo when we lose this team. Which begs the question: Would Ralph sell the team to local interests? Probably not as he wouldn't want to sully his pro-Buffalo image by selling the team to someone who would do a better job then he did.

I just went back and looked at it. Really, really close. Funny thing is none of the Viking players tried to wave it off as a catch, and their were three of them right in front of the catch.

Yeah. Another 6 months of him flip-flopping. I bet, no matter what happens in the off-season, he is back next year. This game is gonna leave an awful taste in his mouth.

It is very disappointing that it ended the way it did.

THE SAINTS WIN, THE SSAAAIIINTTTSSS WIN!

Any limit to the number of replays in OT

That may very well come back.

As much as I want the Saints to win, BS PI call. Overthrown. "Just give it to them"

Didn't see it come out originally. Dodged that bullet.

First down. What a spot to go for it.

Hey Allen, doesn't matter if he caught it or not. Interference!!

One of the best games of the year, especially with what is on the line.

YES!

Idiot! Can't call two TO's in a row! And 12 men in the huddle!

Stop 'em!!

He was all over the WR, and not even looking for the ball.

I don't know...maybe had something to do with the bar fight in Rochester. And wasn't he suspended by the league for substance abuse??

My God! LOOK BACK FOR THE BALL!

Nice! Now slow it down and give a steady dose of the run game.

All right. Now Greggggg's defense needs to stop Lord Favre.

Think so also. Won't be surprised if it's not.

Is that chick they keep showing Brenda Warner, err, Favres wife?

What a horrible call
