I really don't care, but I'd like to be an underdog in each game and destroy the favorite in each game. OK - I have to admit, I'd love to beat Brady's Patriots in my favorite-crushing dream scenario. And to have it all universally considered as the undeniable greatest SB run in league history. (That way whenever NFL Network does the Top Ten Shows - we'll always be at #1.)

McBeane Confidence Update
Never NEVER Give-up replied to The Real Buffalo Joe's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Because we know who you are! Seriously - are you signed-in? -
Hard to gauge NT's. I always thought he was stout and the very best run plugger in the league. That being said, however, his stats seem to support those who say he was very good, but not necessarily HOF-worthy. Some Stats below: Yr Team W-L Rush Def Rank Games 1991 SF 10-6 5 16 1992 SF 14-2 4 16 1993 SF 10-6 16 12 1994 Denver 7-9 17 15 1995 Bflo 10-6 11 16 1996 Bflo 10-6 14 16 1997 Bflo 6-10 15 16 1998 Bflo 10-6 5 16 1999 Bflo 11-5 4 16 2000 Bflo 8-8 6 16 2001 Bears 13-3 2 16 2002 Bears 4-12 26 2 2003 Pats 14-2 4 10 2004 Raiders 5-11 22 16 2005 Raiders 4-12 25 16 2006 Browns 4-12 29 16 2007 Browns 10-6 27 1

Team Identity when they move
Never NEVER Give-up replied to The Real Buffalo Joe's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
In my worthless opinion, I think the Colts name belongs to Baltimore, Browns to Cleveland, Rams to LA (Cleveland was before my time - LOL), Cardinals to St. Louis (if they ever get another team) and Oilers belong to Houston. Raiders should adopt a new name if/when they go to Vegas. Raiders belong to Oakland. Expansion/relocating franchises should get fresh starts with new names. If/when a former NFL city gets a new team, it should be able to resume with the historical nickname of their former team. The Ravens s/b the Colts and the Indy franchise should be the Shuckers, Hoosiers or something else. Oh yeah - I so agree with you on the Jazz. It was a great and fitting name for the New Orleans franchise. When the Pelicans re-entered the league, they should have had the option to "buy" or "claim" their Jazz name. On the plus side for Utah - they could have taken advantage of all the marketing gimmicks associated with adopting a new name and identity. -
Las Vegas Raiders: Mike Mayock hired as GM
Never NEVER Give-up replied to MAJBobby's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
No - but he did analyze tons of draftees and was most often wrong. Also, the Raiders weren't the 1st to hire a GM from the boobtube - the Lions hired Matt Millen . . . hmmmm, how did that work out????? -
Probowl selections - No Bills Selected
Never NEVER Give-up replied to One Buffalo's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Yep. Let that sink in . . . Respect and accolades come with winning. Hopefully we turn the corner this year and the winning starts next year. -
Why is the punter the holder?
Never NEVER Give-up replied to NakedSquid's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Kicking Teams / specialists practice together most often, so if the punter is capable - he does the holding. That said, for fakes it would be best if a QB held or someone who could throw and run . . . Logan Thomas? Micah Hyde? Interesting question. -
OMG!! Who will they get against Detroit and Miami!?!?!?!?! Who's left? Spielman is more Lion than Bill - so it won't be him. Maybe Jordan Phillips can lead the charge against the fish!! Bill Munson can lead the charge against the Lions! Granted, it's not the player that played for the Lions, but his namesake that worked in the Bills' offices. Close enough? We're obviously scraping the bottom of the barrel now . . . .

Is Josh Allen faster than Tyrod Taylor???
Never NEVER Give-up replied to Mac14's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Absolutely! Josh is a much greater throwing threat than Tyrod, hence the line isn't as crowded and he has more space to work with. Tyrod was able to excel in close quarters with his shiftiness. Josh is a more complete player as Tyrod isn't near the thrower Josh is. -
Would you take Marcell Dareus back?
Never NEVER Give-up replied to Protocal69's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
No. I loved the Dareus pick when it occurred and waited and waited for it to pay off - it did, but only about 25% of the time. It wouldn't be worth it - just look at his performance with the talent around him in Jacksonville. Dareus should be dominant - he's not. Kyle Williams is better and Jordan Phillips would be a better fit here. -
Stadium Name
Never NEVER Give-up replied to The Real Buffalo Joe's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
OK so the 3 of us call it the Ralph! That's it! It's official - write it in blood!! ? I get why the Pegula's sold the rights, but I wish they would call it New Era Field at Ralph Wilson Stadium. Then we could call it a whole host of things - The Ralph and The Cap being 2 favs! That way they could splash New Era's name all around the inside and we would still have good names for the joint. -
Eric Wood “retirement” press conference
Never NEVER Give-up replied to YoloinOhio's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I know no one cares, but I think they thought they would have more info to tell us but something happened and they were not able to get clear info in time for the presser (they were probably waiting on lawyers to advise them) - hence the cryptic info. -
Donald Jones to exit 'John Murphy Show'
Never NEVER Give-up replied to ricojes's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Murph seems like a nice guy but I don't care for his game calls and as an interviewer - I can't even listen to him. He constantly phrases his questions with his assumptive answers leaving the interviewee to simply answer with a YES! Drives me crazy!!! If he's interviewing Joe Blow - I want to hear what Joe thinks/says!! I love Sal - would like more access to him (radio/tv/etc.) -
The only loss is Gilmore and there's no way we were going to pay him $15 million! Sucks that he's going to the Pats, but it's good to see they're tying up that much cap space on him. Williams really didn't play last year and his neck injury was tragic, but at least he can walk away. But make no mistake, he was not really part of the secondary last year - and by the way - the secondary sucked w/Gilmore (as did the whole defense). So as I see it, any additions are good. Best of luck to the new coach and remember, Whaley is pretty adept at recognizing pro talent and has a very good track record w/FA's (see Zac Brown and LorAx).

No Holding Calls on the Pats?
Never NEVER Give-up replied to Livinginthepast's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I do wish this was called more. With so many rules slanted toward the offense, it would be nice if this one would be called and alleviate the pressure these plays put on a defense. -
So Much For The Oilers Comeback
Never NEVER Give-up replied to Rico's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
It will be interesting though, when the NFL Network does one of its Top 10 Shows for the Greatest Comebacks - where the Bills-Oilers Game will rank. Bills comeback was biggest-ever, no doubt - do the math. However, the greatest comeback? It will be hard to beat the Pats win in OT due to the stage and stakes. -
is rex the biggest douche bag coach ever?
Never NEVER Give-up replied to nuklz2594's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Poor guy - never got a break . . . Always victimized . . . Puleaseeeee!
