section122 Posted October 17, 2017 Share Posted October 17, 2017 Happy Birthday to the guy responsible for all of us coming together. I'll be forever grateful for the many Sundays spent with family and friends watching this team and this game. I'm also grateful (even if I didn't agree with all of them) for the steps he took to keep the team here after his passing. So whether you think he was cheap or not, whether you think Tyrod sucks or not, etc, etc... take a second and remember we all love the Bills (well except SaviorPeterman ) and we all have Ralph to thank for them. Happy Birthday Ralph! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikemac2001 Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 Who cares. Worst owner ever in sports. Kraft/benson/Davis And more moved teams or were going to move teams Ralph never even made a hint of doing it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
njbuff Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 Kraft/benson/Davis And more moved teams or were going to move teams Ralph never even made a hint of doing it So the criteria for being a great owner is not moving the team. I am going by Ralph Wilson's teams on field success and if it wasn't for the drafting of Thurman, how bad would Wilson's on field success have been?

What you are doing is technically not against the rules, but is tasteless at best and disrespectful. Just delete your posts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What he's saying is fair game. Yes, he kept the team in Orchard Park. Of course he did. People kept coming, no matter how schitty the team was. He got lucky with the 90s, won nothing, then let the team suck for two decades. He wasn't a good owner and there's nothing wrong with pointing it out. Even on his birthday.

Well, I was raised that when someone is respectfully remembering the deceased, saying "who cares, he was schit at his job" is poor form. Maybe you raise your kids different. To each their own.

Gugny Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 I've said my piece. Be the person you want to be. I am. I give my customers the best I can possibly give to them because they're paying for something great. I don't give them schit, knowing they won't go to a competitor. But go ahead. Keep worshiping. RIP Ralph. Thanks for keeping the team in Orchard Park. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
