Hate to say it but a lot of Bills fans left the stadium after the Raider 84 yd TD

how much you want to bet espn dispatches dilfer to cover the showdown

Marshawn, Marshawn, Marshawn. Beast Mode was the only reason Edwards was even able to come back in the 4th. Lynch ran hard for 4 quarters. He broke countless tackles including a 4th and 2 that was stuffed in the backfield before he broke loose. Lynch was the game's MVP. Don't lose sight of that, Bills fans.
If things pan out the way it looks like it might, most of the credit will have to go to Marv. Its hard to believe that this team was seen as so hopeless 2 seasons that the coach walked out so as to avoid a certain resume stain. Freakin' Marv, even the Whitner over Ngata pick is slowly turning in Marv's favor as time goes by.

Some of these posts are hillarious. The raiders RAN for 300 on the road last week against KC who hung tough with NE. Lets worry about the raiders.

Yeah, I remember that too. He missed a couple in regulation. I seem to recall some quote from Thurman at the time about what would have happened had he missed again.
i see visions of scott norwood in my worst nightmares. he did somehow kick that fourth quarter 50+ yarder in Jan 92 in freezing temps to hold off denver in the 91 afc title. was norwoods greatest kick ever. no one talks about it and no one remebers it happened after sb 25

I know allot of you guys just love the idea of bringing our oppenents into Buffalo when the wind is blowing ,the snow is flying, its about 20 bellow wind chill factor and for the most part everyhing is frozen, I mean everything
But don't we suffer just as badly as they do, I mean think about it this is our house. Do you turn the heat off in your house? I don't, I like it warm, I play better when its warm, its nice to be warm in our house.
Now picture TE with mittens on
We need a Dome
I agree -- football must be played outside. all the dome teams have gotten rid of or are in the process of getting rid of their domes. Most of these retractable roof deals are just as bad as a dome, with their racing stripe type roofs. That new place Indy has is repulsive. Give me a bog open bowl and save $400M in the process.

sorry if this covered elsewhere -- can the bills trade crowell, or is he automatically IR'd throughout the league for the rest of the year. what if he's released, can he play for someone else in 08.
-
how can you post a topic like this on the day that Peters ends his holdout.
the 00s are by far the best decade. you can follow any innocuous news item or rumor endlessly on line. where would you rather be than right here right now.
-
hey at least it wasn't the patriots. that is usually a tell tale sign of having blown it.
-
Just wondering. God knows I have and after havin' a few beers with the neighbors tonite and the season starting in a week, I can see me shelling out another 70 bucks (plus shipping) for a Hardy throw back jersey tonite...(Man, the wife is gonna be pissed....Again!)
If we are going to compete with the spending capacity of our rich neighbors to the north and keep the team here we need as many true fans like this as possible.

lets go to the hall of fame in canton yeah............................................................................

i love how manning and brady pulled a bruce this year, and decided they weren't going to show up to camp. you have to be a top 2 player in the league to pull it off, and bruce certainly was that for many many years.

The off-season (yes, even training camp) is pretty boring around here. Just looking to spark some discussion that doesn't involve Jason Peters.
Let's say some random billionaire buys the Bills, wants to keep them in western/upstate New York, and will completely privately fund a new stadium. Where would you want it? Not where do you think it would go (save the Toronto jokes), but where would you want it if you were asked by the new owner for input. A few thoughts:
1 - Orchard Park, right next to/on top of the current site of The Ralph... infrastructure is there, training facilities, plenty of parking, easy access to several major highways, etc.
2 - Niagara County, either in the city of Niagara Falls or somewhere in Wheatfield, Lewiston, etc... easier commute for the Canadian base the team is trying to grow.
3 - Buffalo, on the current site of the Perry Projects... plenty of land available for development near HSBC, public transportation, (potentially) the Casino, but would alter tailgating as we know it (perhaps make it more like Cubs games with people flooding bars before and after the game?).
4 - Buffalo, somewhere on the outer harbor... access would be a B word, especially come December, as many fans would be forced to use the skyway.
5 - Lackawanna, on redeveloped brownfields... same problem as #4.
6 - Batavia, or some other point along the 90 in Genesee County... might make seasons tickets or spending corporate dollars on a suite more attractive to people from Rochester, Canandaigua, Syracuse and points east.
With the apparent apathy of the Toronto market, I am actually leaning towards #6 in the interests of the long-term financial health of the franchise. I get the feeling more folks from Rochester and points east would go to Bills games and more businesses would be interested in suites/partnerships if they had a significantly shorter commute (not to mention access during non-game days for various events). Moving the stadium near Batavia would cut a good 40 minutes or so off the commute TO the game, and a good hour or so after the game when you consider all the folks that would be fighting to head west to Buffalo.
Thoughts?
ON EDIT: Assume sufficient funds and the necessary political will to accomplish just about anything... within reason.

The second game that season vs the Jets was the OT thriller, where Smerlas blocked a last minute FG in regulation to send the game into OT, where Norwood nailed the game winner. I watch a tape of that game from time to time and the Bills almost won it in the final seconds when a Kelly bomb to Reed fell just beyond Andre's fingertips.
I was living here in DC at the time and the game was shown locally, which in those days, hardly ever happened. Remember, this was pre-NFL Ticket, pre-sports bars, etc. Usually, I would have to call home for updates or try to get WHAM to come in. But this game, for some reason, was shown in the DC area, and I remember standing the entire game.
other monster road wins not mentioned
at pittsburgh 1976
wk 5 on the road, 1980, 4-0 Bills win AT 4-0 San Diego
at indy 1987 (signs of greatness)
at bucs, 1991, 1 great play by the biscuit
at raiders, 1991 (SI cover AFC Superpower Buffalo Bags the Raiders)
at philly 1993 (started 4 game surge to home field)
at philly 1996
at miami 1999
if they had managed to close out home field in 92, I would have had to rank the miami monday night game that year as the greatest road win of all time. that was an epic. bruce went nuts that night. what i would do for 1 franchise changing giant road win in 08. how about at NE.

No way should Poz be the feautured guy. He's only played 2 games. Edwards before Poz. Lynch? Not with the recent incident. If its going to be a current player, Evans would be a good choice, but is probably gone after this year. My vote would be Peters if he signs and then Mcgee. Solid vet CB, great special teamer, which is what the current team is noted for.

Where do you see Whitner excelling? Tackles? Sacks? Interceptions? Which of the aforementioned (or any other area of performance, for the matter) will warrant him a trip to Hawaii?
he will keep having team meetings at his house, and will keep calling the local and national press in so he can tell everyone how he has team meetings at his house and what a great team leader he is and what a great off the field game he has. his season will peak at about week 10 before the voting when he gets Inside the NFL to feature him and he tells chris collinsworth about how he's been mentoring leodis. this act is getting old. i can't believe how many people have been taken in.

wheres the hit heard round the world. how can that be left off.

I like Donte Whitner. There is no doubt he is a great leader and a vocal guy you want on your team. I think he is a good not great player however. Maybe it's just me but if you draft a safety at #8, he'd better be a Ronnie Lott, Ed Reed, or Kenny Easley type difference maker. Whitner is not that type of player IMO.
i may never get over passing on ngata in that draft. however, whitner is one of those picks that 7-10 years later you realize was a great one. a second year player hosting team meetings at his house is un heard of. won all sorts of academic awards in college, character rating is off the charts. with more beef up front his play has a chance to improve from sound to great. many of marvs moves look better in retrospect.

Instead of a points system like the Madden Geeks keep talking about, we need an official "How much time would you do?" ranking system for the members of the Bills. You know...something like:
Trent Edwards - 6 months and $1,000 fine
Brian Moorman - 1 year probation and 30 hours community service
Lee Evans - 3 months and 2 years probation
Jabari Greer - $150 ticket and 2 points on my license
Dwayne Wright - Stand in line at DMV to renew my license
don't short change wright -- get ready the jackson/wright committee and 7-9 once again
-
funny how all these teams - chargers, jets, giants, bills -- realized their 60s uniforms were the coolest

when inducted into the HOF? Will go in as a Bill or a Redskin out of financial spite? Also, any thoughts on who will introduce him?
ted cottrel will introduce bruce at hof induction

and there it is...cant discuss the 06 draft without discussing ngata. nada to ngata. ngata is one of the greatest names in would-be Bill history, here are some others: mckinnie, bryant johnson, malcolm kelly, michael turner, gonzales, flutie (but thats confusing because he eventually signed 13 years later.
