You're thinking of Steve Spagnuolo.

Did we have a chance at Cam or not? The answer is no. What the hell do you mean by "how many records has he been to??" your posts are nonsensical and completely incoherent. I would've liked Cam (and so did the Bills) but he was taken before our pick and there was no chance to move up. I don't think we'd be any closer with Vick but it's debatable--- and the Bills wanted him, too. We need better quarterbacking overall. This isn't exactly !@#$ing Unsolved Mysteries--- it's pretty clear.

If he totally flames out in the next month+ when the competition suddenly gets serious we can probably land him in the 3rd.

Brady could have completed many of Fitz' wild overthrows--- that alone would have likely put the game out of reach.

Calling the other team bitches? No, they certainly don't. Being a diva isn't a requirement for championship athletes. It's simply a bonus gift that Brady gives to the world along with comfortable and stylish intercontinental footwear.

That actually sounds a little bit better than the guy we're seeing now.

When was it that "we had a chance to grab Cam Newton"? And have you watched Vick or just played as him in Madden? Fitz isn't the answer but Vick hasn't produced much different than Fitz.

That's true--- it's possible he was actually talking to teammates on the bench. I'd like to believe Deion Branch asked him what he hated doing more than anything else and this was his reply.

The way this NFL season has gone, the only logical conclusion is that the Bills win big. It'll signify nothing, however, aside from a continuation of the complete and total breakdown of football logic as we know it and the next standard deviation pendulum swing toward irrational and unjustified hope. Bills - 48 49ers - 6 to be followed by: Cardinals - 55 Bills - 13

So true--- the final score should've been 52-35.

I'm not sure what's next, but I think it feels like a bottle of red wine, a handful of sleeping pills and a Joy Division record. YMMV.

I think the problem is that Fitz HAS shown up. He is what he is--- and as much as I love him, we need a serious upgrade. This is why we need Tebow--- he can even cover punts.

In other words: "I've heard of him!" It's this exact kind of thinking that makes clowns like Gregg Williams seem like HC material--- watching assistant coaches on the sideline from the couch and cobbling together bits and pieces of his playing career do not equal coaching credentials. (Any bitterness in this post isn't directed at you, BTW. I'm just beaten down by 12+ seasons of ineptitude and empty hype.)

If anyone has a problem with the Bills current coaching staff then maybe banging the drum for Bob Sanders isn't exactly the best idea...

I don't know what's causing the bleeding... I just want it to stop. Plz can I haz band aid?

TO also played most of the season for Philly--- it wasn't a Week 3 injury.

If I were Nix, I'd sign Herschel Walker and then trade him to Minnesota. Git'r'done, Buddy!

It took me quite awhile to come around to buying into what Pro Football Focus was selling over the past few years but I've come to find them relatively credible--- this analysis is incredibly difficult to believe, however.

As much as I loved Smerlas, this is the most well balanced and probably correct reflection on his theoretical impact on the 1990 Bills. As for the bolded, didn't we actually acquire Tasker of Plan B from Houston? Pretty incredible that we trusted him after he had previously reneged on just such a "gentlemen's agreement" that he wouldn't sign elsewhere. I don't doubt PTR's assessment about Smerlas' radio persona in NE, but it is disheartening. He was a favorite of mine as a kid in the 80s--- I had always heard he wore a Buffalo Bills t-shirt underneath his 49ers and Patriots gear after he left because he was so devoted to the Bills. Perhaps nothing more than mythologizing.

That's why I said "hopefully".

!@#$ yes! Between this news and the refs returning, this has been an excellent day for NFL news! Hopefully they're all (FredEx, CJ, the refs) in uniform this weekend!

Whether it's this weekend or not I bet the first flag thrown by a real ref gets a huge crowd response.

I get that, but he included '@mortreport' so I thought he may have taken it from twitter.

His twitter doesn't say that. Was it on TV?

The Shawn Jefferson play at 2:03 of the video is the "just give it to'em" play, which is why Berman questions if he is in. The Bills Daily article is incorrect when it references Tony Simmons--- Tony Simmons was on the NE roster in 1998 but isn't in the box score for that game: http://www.pro-football-reference.com/boxscores/199811290nwe.htm I've always loved Ralph's response to the fine--- linked to in the Bills Daily link Here's Bills Owner Ralph Wilson's complete statement regarding the $50,000 fine handed down by Commissioner Paul Tagliabue: "On December 2nd I received a fax from Commissioner Paul Tagliabue informing me the Bills are being fined $50,000 for criticism on my part of officiating in the last moments of our game with New England. I described two calls, back-to-back, as probably the worst I have witnessed in the 60 years I have watched pro football. Those two calls cost the Bills a very important game, one in which our team fought back very courageously from a substantial deficit. Society today is more enlightened. Fair comment and criticism are rampant. The entire media as a unit is frank and the millions watching a game are frank. But the Commissioner lecturing to me as if I were a novice, instead of one who has been involved in football infinitely longer than he has, contends that criticizing a call has 'destructive and corrosive effects on the game.' What is more destructive and corrosive -- errant calls in front of millions of viewers or my statements of opinion? People all over the country registered shock at the way the officials, however honorable their purpose, took the game away from us. Even the league has admitted to us that the calls near the conclusion of the game were incorrect. On Monday morning, the Commissioner can sermonize on destruction and corrosion, but he has never experienced the pain of blowing a crucial game due to officiating. I have yet to decide whether I will pay or challenge the fine. But, at 80, I do know I don't need pompous lectures from the Commissioner and I feel that the $50,000 is not only unwarranted, but punitive in nature. The next time he may ask me to sit in the corner."
