DrDawkinstein Posted April 12, 2023 Share Posted April 12, 2023 At least as far as how the players feel. The Bills were 1 of only 6 teams that received 100% Player Confidence that current ownership is willing to invest to make upgrades. What a ways we've come. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still cash strapped from all the ammonia inhalants they bought for Gase, even with the Johnson and Johnson discount. 12 minutes ago, HOUSE said: Who you calling cheap ?? 🎶To know, know, know HOUSE, Is to love, love, love HOUSE.🎵 🎶And we do, yes we do, yes we do.🎵 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WhoTom Posted April 12, 2023 Share Posted April 12, 2023 I saw this earlier and read the article that went with it. It's interesting, but the people who wrote the report didn't share the survey or explain their methodology, which makes me a little suspicious of the data. Don't get me wrong - I know Terry is willing to spend and I'm sure the players know it too, but it's not good when a researcher won't say how they did the research. Surveys can be easy to skew if questions are worded a certain way. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WNY will always be fortunate for Ralph’s philanthropy but as an NFL owner he was very cheap and he was the biggest reason for the hellish 17 year drought 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rigotz Posted April 13, 2023 Share Posted April 13, 2023 Honestly, I wish this thread was just called "Terry Pegula is not cheap" ... That's what the twitter poll was about and it's something to be happy about. Doesn't seem necessary to further drag our deceased owner, who founded the team and helped it survive in Buffalo for decades, in the same thread. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charles Romes Posted April 13, 2023 Share Posted April 13, 2023 (edited) Chiefs and Pats are very low on the list. I think there is something to be said about the potential of ruining the locker room if you end up severely overpaying one or a few players.

Mikie2times Posted April 13, 2023 Share Posted April 13, 2023 (edited) Most of the teams who have owners that inherited the team are in the 20's. While most of the teams that generated wealth from other sources rank much higher. Makes sense. I don't consider Ralph cheap, it was more, he just wasn't as wealthy as other NFL owners. I will say it's very nice to be in the rich club. Terry is loaded and it shows. Edited April 13, 2023 by KzooMike 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SF Bills Fan Posted April 14, 2023 Share Posted April 14, 2023 Terry is one of the wealthiest men on the planet and the players do love him. He can splash the cash. I can only imagine how happy everyone will be when they roll into the new digs in a few years. Ralph was wealthy, but in the world of pro sports, I don't think he had a lot of money compared to others. He did keep the Raiders afloat, but that might have been partly because he needed that for the health of the AFL. He tried spending a bunch and it almost got us a Super Bowl. He neve spent for coaches though (except for Knox) and that was a miscalculation. But, in the end, he kept the team in Buffalo and he made sure they were set up to stay afterward and most of the money from the sale is getting put into the cities of Buffalo and Detroit and into various things like parks and other institutions (500 million each), so I can't say anything bad about Ralph.
