SageAgainstTheMachine Posted October 28, 2022 Share Posted October 28, 2022 63* years ago. Bills’ all time record is 454-493-8. At the rate we’re going the team will be an overall winning franchise in about 5-6 years. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My grandparents in ‘58, bought a large parcel in WNY southern tier for $20g. Use to think, man, they could have bought the Bills franchise. Silly, I know, but, am so glad Ralph stepped up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gjv Posted October 28, 2022 Share Posted October 28, 2022 One could argue that Ralph Wilson's commitment 63 years ago to the day, has played a major role in keeping the lights on in WNY. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old Coot Posted October 28, 2022 Share Posted October 28, 2022 Ralph originally wanted a franchise in Miami to be called the Seahawks but the stadium (the Orange Bowl I think) was tied up to U Miami. A Bufflo sports writer suggested Buffalo and the rest is history. The Detroit Lions won the NFL title in 1957 and were Ralph's favorite team so the Bills colors for the first season or so were the Lions' colors: Honolulu Blue and Silver. Buffal had a team in the ols All American Football League from 1946-49. The first year the team was called the Bisons, the traditional name for Buffalo sports teams. Ther team then ran a contest and "Bills" emerged the winner (after Buffalo Bill). The AAFL folded after the 1949 season and the NFL took in some of the AAFL teams (including the Cleveland Browns). Buffalo's application to join the NFL was not accepted. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't anticipate we'll be underdogs very often with #17 behind center anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dwight in philly Posted October 28, 2022 Share Posted October 28, 2022 Cant imagine life without the Bills , obviously.. going with my father in 1960 to see them for the first time .. the sights, the sounds , aroma of WMS, all part of growing up in Buffalo. They are truly imbedded in our souls.. Thank you Ralph.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
