Major Mud

Sammy Watkins is from my area of Florida, he stated on a local news interview that the Bills are his favorite team. He said he does not care for the Dolphins, even though they are the local "home" team. I would have no problem seeing him in the red, white and blue!

Being an FSU fan, I would love to see them get Kelvin Benjamin in the later rounds, he is big, fast, and has good hands. He also has chemistry with EJ. He can be a hybrid TE/WR....a LB to play next to Kiko, a guard, and a right tackle. It's not even January yet! and we are already playing the draft game.....again.

I live near Miami, it's a decent city, ( cough, gag ) they have four major sports, new stadiums, big money. Yet the fans still could care less about filling the seats. The MLS failed there once already, and yet there is talk about expanding down there again. Why? money. I think leagues need to consider that when thinking about moving franchises. There's already talk of the Panthers moving to Quebec City. Which would replace the Nordiques, who moved to Colorado. What I am saying is the grass isn't always greener, just the cash is. And that does not always pan out.

Good point, I wonder how the sports fans in Toronto really feel about all of this. The CFL is over a century old, and they seem happy and content with the Argos.

Other then Green Bay is there a franchise that is the fabric of the city like the Bills are to Buffalo? I don't think so, I hate the thought of that ever happening. I no longer live in Buffalo, but when I go back I still see the pride the city has for the Bills. And it would be devastating if they left, especially if they went to Toronto. It's disgusting that nothing matters anymore other then money. In Toronto the Bills would just be a shiny new toy, not part of the city's culture. How would Toronto fans feel if someone threatened to take their beloved Maple Leafs? ( I know it will never happen )

Less expansion teams, wouldn't Ralph still be the only original owner of a team from its inception? In today's sports that's quite an accomplishment.

Lol, good one, not too bad a payoff after a $35,000 investment. Hell from that to a team worth almost a Billion. And it only took 50+ years! not bad.

Have you ever seen the CFL?...totally different brand of football. Different rules, different field. They just had their 101st Grey Cup. They don't want American football, they are happy with their own brand. And their own legacy.

I have been watching Sammy Watkins since his high school days at SFM High, his game has elevated to the level of competition. I see him as a Julio Jones type player in the NFL. I would not be heart broken if he landed with the Bills.

I feel what your saying though.

I like him, he genuinely loves being a Bill. I also noticed the Bills are 3-0 when I wear his jersey this year, 0-2 when I wear Spiller, and 0-3 when I wear Dareus....hmmm looks like I need to wear my # 13 for a while....lol... funny coincidence.

He went back in, the coaches didn't keep him out either. He obviously was not 100% but heart always plays better then physical prowess. I really like the mentality of this team, and I think it starts with Freddie, and his guts, it's rubbing off....is this really a bad problem to have? His play didn't hinder the Bills, but his gumption will only help to inspire his team mates.

Amen Brother.

Really? If he didn't play the rest of the game , he is soft. Wow really can't please most fans. Look he was gutting it out, because he wants to win. He still had a decent game, I for one appreciate his effort and dedication.

I believe I read somewhere that all teams have one prime time game every year. Rotating home vs road, if true the Bills will host a night game again next year. I prefer Sunday night, purely due to the guys who call the games.

Does anyone else find it odd, that we haven't heard a peep about his foot injury since he started playing again? Is it a Festivus miracle?

We will find out Sunday, you have to be able to beat division rivals, especially on the road....Hopefully, even with a backup QB we can turn the corner.

Jets are 3-3, Bills are 2-4. So I would say, no the Bills are not better then the Jets.....at this point in the season. Long term, maybe. I believe there is more talent in Buffalo, and eventually it will show in the results.

I live near Miami, and go often. Everywhere I have sit, no matter the section there is always a good spread of Bills fans. You will see hoards of Buffalo faithful tailgating,tossing a football, and partying. Expect random high fives, and a lot of " Go Buffalo! " from strangers. It seems I get lucky and always sit next to a big group of Bills fans. Most of the Miami fans are cordial, but some will get under your skin. My wife tells me 10 times a game to stop checking out the Miami cheerleaders. I tell her I'm using the binoculars to look for other Bills fans....wink....right!...Enjoy the game!

Great post CBF!..being a Bills fan really does transcend sports, it's more about being a part of a community, a large extended family. I moved away from Buffalo years ago, but in my heart never left. I live close to Miami now,and try to attend the annual "Squish The Fish" game. I usually get my tickets on the cheap off craigslist the week of the game, so I sit somewhere different every time. But it does not matter which section I sit in, there will always be Bills fans close by, to high five after a play, to sing the shout song with after the Bills score. Or someone who has your back when a Dolphin fan talks smack. We won't know each other, hell it don't even matter if they are from Buffalo. But when they have on the colors of your team, there is an instant bond. ( it's always great when we win and we have Miami fans giving us directions back to Buffalo!)..My Dad lives close by, and every Sunday it's our tradition to get together and watch the Bills games. We hoot, and holler, B word, and moan. And it don't matter if they win or lose. Because there's no other place I'd rather be on a Sunday, then with my Dad watching the game. Except maybe tailgating at the Ralph with all of you fine folks!...Go Bills!

Sorry, I forgot the comma, stupid iPad....

Holmes is out a few weeks, and Hill has a concussion... Overall not a bad signing. He was a good kid, and a great possession receiver.

If he could have Flutie's improv skills, with Kelly's toughness, and Bledsoe's arm, I would be quite satisfied. Seriously though I have watched him as an FSU fan for the last three years closely, he is not an all-pro. But he has a confidence, a commanding presence, with a fun and friendly attitude that makes you root for the guy. Lets watch him play some real games before we really form an opinion of him.

It's still better then the new Dolphins logo....

My thinking is relatively simple in regards to the QB situation. They have a preseason game on Thursday, they need more then one arm to play in that game. Team cuts mostly come Tuesday. The Bills could not wait to see who was cut to add a QB. I think Leinart and Lewis battle it out to see who stays as insurance in case EJ is not ready for the opener. I see no way Tuel gets cut if he is the only healthy QB who knows the offense. Lets hope this is in fact the scenerio, and that we get a healthy EJ back for the opener....
