All: The new Billszone site with the updated software is scheduled to be turned on Tuesday, May 21, 2024. The company that built it, Dynascale, estimates a FOUR HOUR shut down, from 8pm Pacific, (5pm Eastern) while they get it up and running. Nobody will be able to post in any forum until they are done. Afterwards, you may need to do a web search for the site, as old links will not work, because the site is getting a new IP address. Please be patient. If there are bugs, we will tackle them one at a time. Remember the goal is to be up and running with no glitches by camp. Doing this now assures us of that, because it gives us all summer to get our ducks in a row. Thank you!
Please use this thread to report any issues you come across

Isn't Ralph Wilson the ultimate problem with this team?
Re: Isn't Ralph Wilson the ultimate problem with this team?
Absolutely, you need only look at his letting go of Lou Saban, the best coach in the Bills' history, and the firing of Bill Polian, one of the best talent evaluators in football. We could go on and on but the aforementioned is typical of his leadership.
Re: Isn't Ralph Wilson the ultimate problem with this team?
the guy cant even drive himself to the games, I cant sit back and believe that Ralph alone is the ultimate problem. He may make the decisions, but I believe that there is someone else pulling the strings. Wooever it is should be guilty of manipulating the elderly.
Re: Isn't Ralph Wilson the ultimate problem with this team?
Ralph is been the blocking of progress for years. Anyone that has followed this team for many years knows it. Now that he perceived TD burned him,he'll die before looking outside the organization for a fresh face.
While Ralph lives, we make do with what we have and attempt to win in spite of him.
Anonymity is an abused privilege, abused most by people who mistake vitriol for wisdom and cynicism for wit

Umm, yes...he has been a problem for a very long time, but some people are blinded to what he really is.
and equally so, people are blinded as to what he isnt. I just love how people state their speculation as if they themselves have the office right next to Ralph's and can hear everything that goes on at OBD and then proclaim it as fact. He could have easily not signed Kelly when Jim said he did not want to play here, He could of never made that trade for Biscuit. He did not have to give his seal of approval to bring in Spikes, Fletch, Adams, Washington and the many other "marquee" names that have graced our presence. He very easily could have pulled a Hugh Culverhouse and had his team in the cellar of the league for more than 20 years (TB Bucs previous owner). I know this is a "what have you done for me now" type league so I can understand the frustration of the fans and realize that yeah, he is the owner and he should be the one to blame. But still, I believe that there are others that are pulling his strings and "advising" him on what he should do and when.
No offense hawk, that wasnt really aimed at you, just the post and the billions of posts like it.
Re: Isn't Ralph Wilson the ultimate problem with this team?
The root cause of the problem is ownership but since he will not sell the team, us as fans look for band aids to such as change in front office, change in personnel, etc.

No offense taken, that's what these boards are for. However, the facts back up the argument that Ralphy is the problem. Because of his feeling of being burned, the fans now have to suffer with him choosing another loser GM. Umm, so what you're telling me is that we are going to promote from within an organization that hasn't seen the playoffs in 10 years??? Yeah, now that is smart. This organization is just so poorly ran that is one of the biggest jokes of the NFL.

All Polian moves, for which he was rewarded with a pink slip.

Following the purges and the 3-13 season of 2001, he was forced to make those moves.
