  1. I am quite sure that I would have to examine all of the alternatives pretty carefully before I said I was for or against a waterfront stadium in Buffalo. However, I can say beyond a shadow of a doubt that, without really knowing what the other stadia on your list have "a view" of, I can tell you that there is absolutely no "view" in Foxboro.... just one end of the stadium that has sort of an open end. From inside you can't tell at all what's out there, nor would you care about it anyway 'cuz the place is truly out in the boonies. Gilette is the absolute opposite of what's been discussed in this thread so far in terms of a waterfront stadium.
  2. You jumped me on this one; I couldn't agree more that this particular post is a freakin' gem, and is a prime example of why I'm here on a regular basis. Best short synopsis of a complicated NFL situation that I think I've ever read. (Obviously I don't yet know how to quote this response, in addition to the post I'm referring to from yungmack, my bad.)
  3. Don't post much but I think you've got a good one going here, please do continue!
  4. I know it's simplistic, but you can't coach speed. Finger out what to do with this weapon and nobody catches him, except maybe TJ and CJ. Really, if Hackett is even marginally better than his predecessors, he SHOULD be able to get one of them open. I also agree that it would appear that he's not just a trackster; seems to play with some attitude and ball smarts. The glass is almost full; I keep refilling it, night after night, year after year.....
  5. Well, I don't bother to post very often, and who knows if I am even really signed in or whatever, but to me this comment says it all about this season: 1. Fitz, as much as we all like him and want him to be 'the man', is clearly not the (dominant) 'man' very often, and in this league a winning quarterback needs to be the man on a regular basis, not a few times per game. 2. How many of the six teams we've played so far this season have field goal kickers that also kick touchbacks? Our touchback ticker isn't even doing that, so an incredibly valuable roster spot for actual football players (with apologies to kickers, long snappers) goes a 'wasting?! 3. If Brad Smith, who is obviously a talented boy, had a magic arm, then he should be starting over Fitzy!! If he doesn't, it makes the "Lapcat" incredibly one dimensional, and therefore expendable, imho. If that decision also makes BS expendable, so be it; get some more linemen. 4. "4 QB's and 2 Kickers" and we "can't throw it more than 20 yards or kick it 50" says it all, in a nutshell, about the frustration with the Nix/Gailey regime, it all just seems so impotent (with huge exceptions to FredEx and CJ and the OLine and Stevie). Our team has so much talent, drive, and yes manliness, but in toto, watching them in toto it looks like ballet class... OK, so my opinions notwithstanding, Coach's remark is absolutely dead-effin on....
  6. I am a lurker, not a poster, but I gotta' tell you that I have been more than a little amused by your "why #XXX is the most important Buffalo Bill" posts.....
  7. While on the subject of respect, has this link been posted yet? http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/blog/shutdown_...?urn=nfl,108056 "hopelessly premature playoff picture" has the Bills and Steelers w/ the bye week....
  8. What a gayblade comment.... So you count yourself a real Bills' fan, but readily admit to bandwagoning w/ all the NE* 'fans'?? pathetic. I have flown my Bills flag in New England for 12 years, and caught a proper amount of grief for it; from neighbors, passersby, and even family... but NEVER was tempted to hop on the Patsies fagwagon... Bob Kraft makes me puke, and Belichick is worse...
  9. Wow, what a post. Easily the most eloquently stated, not to mention civilized, argument for why the Pats* honk the proverbial bobo, and why Bills fans can lean back and enjoy it....
  10. I bookmarked this from something I read earlier, I don't remember which thread it was in... and I haven't explored it to see what gives, either, but for what it's worth: http://leech.tenyardtorrents.com/
  11. and thanks again to you, Kiwi, for the 'sesame street' link, worked a charm! Jags are dead meat....
  12. audio link again anyone? really a shame about the rack111 deal, I knew it was too good to be true!
  13. well, for my first post ever on this page (having been a lurker for many years), I can only say THANK YOU for this link.... and I sure hope it continues into the regular season. The expense of Direct TV is one thing, the logistics and BS w/ the dish is another... If my Sunday afternoons are rescued from going to a dive sports bar in Fall River, MA and I can watch the game later (after recording on RealTV software) my wife will certainly be reward-prone..... a double bonus! P.S. it is truly awful having to watch the Bills in a Pats bar, let me tell you....
