This team in our division is on borrowed time,Wilson will NOT keep the team in the family and that spells doom for the fans of Buffalo.
IMO the new owner when Ralph dies is DEFINATELY without a doubt in my mind going to move this franchise,There is NO big market and interest outside this city anymore and the new owner will never keep it there.
Once Ralph dies I expect the team to move to California - The Anaheim Bills?
Wilson is now 88 years old and any day could be the last.
Ralph has been owner of this team for 48 years and had to go though a 4 year stretch of being the Super Bowl runner-up that was probably so dissapointing to him you gotta feel sorry that he will likely die without a championship over all 48+ years,He bought this team for $25,000 and its now worth 625 million
These type of owners who hold on to thier team this long with so many ups and downs along the way,come once in our lifetime,Ralph definately is to be respected as one of the best owners in NFL history.
The only way I see the Bills remaining in Buffalo is if a local business man and a huge bills fan from the city goes on to buy it like Kraft did in New England or Marv Levy decides to buy the team and take over as CEO if he outlives Wilson,Marv probably has the $$$ to buy it but his age once again would probably eliminate the possibility to enjoy the team long enough to buy it.
