Don't fall off from any high places.

The Monday night Cowboys game sticks out to me. We started so well and choked at the end. When I realized that Jauron called timeout just before the snap I was so excited and didn't think the kicker could hit it again from that distance. I was wrong. That Pats Monday night game where Mckelvin fumbled was pretty bad too.
Yeah this. Both of those games ending the way they did on national TV felt like a punch in the stomach. Blowouts don't hurt nearly that much.

Trump is a joke and was never a serious contender. I can't wait until the process moves on in the next few days and we don't have to hear his name involved anymore.

You don't understand HIPAA and how they could get this story.
Asking questions does not violate HIPAA.
If someone in a position to violate HIPAA and does, how is that the journalists' problem, especially if he protects the source?
You all set low expectations for your journalists.
And if some journalist found out, determined that keeping it private makes some kind of moral sense (I can't imagine a situation where whatever is going on falls into this category but let's say it does), he could still report it as a "private medical issue" and discuss updates on possible return.
If you don't think this is odd, I'm surprised. The starting LT, one of the most important players on the team, is out and it's not explained. It's weird.
Players, staff, ball boys, friends. It's called being a reporter. It can't be that hard to find out. This isn't the formula for Coca Cola.
Who do you imagine this intrepid journalist would ask that would A) Know the reason for Glenn being out B) Willing to betray whatever kind of trust they would have to know that C) Possibly willing to lose their job as well. If it's something Marrone can't talk about why would a ballboy know? How many people do imagine are privy to this apparently extremely personal information? And again assuming they could get the information -- for what? To know what we already know? That he's going to be out for the preseason for whatever reason? How does knowing the specific ailment alter the situation in anyway other than maybe you feeling better about state of sports journalism?

It's news. Reporters report news.
Nope! It's not football related. Players' entire medical history is not fair game just as if a client or a customer at your job wanted yours that would be off limits too.
-
I'm saying that any journalist who can't get to the bottom of this story is not much of a journalist. That's what I'm saying.
They won't get Whaley and Marrone on record but this can't be that hard of a story to get to the bottom of. You pull aside two players, they tell you. You confirm with the assistant sub trainer. You report what the issue is as confirmed by players and other source. The end.
It's not like we're cracking open Deep Throat's identity here.
Assuming the reporter could get that kind of information it would would be extremely ****ty to report it. As you said it's not as if it's a national security issue. His right to privacy > your "right" to know.

For me, I believe they would keep the Bills in Buffalo for as long as it made economic sense.
Which would probably mean raising ticket prices up to the top 3rd of the league and asking for a completely publicly financed stadium and an extremely favorable lease. If the county/state/fans balk at any of those then time to go.

The players may have changed, the administration and even the owner may have changed, but just like all great storied franchises of the NFL, what defines a team is its community, it's fans. What does the current Green Bay have to do with the Lombardi Green Bay other than its fans and community. We may be in the biggest playoff deficit in the nfl right now, but we've been here before and we stared that adversity in the face, and defied logic, statistic and probability and rode our spirit to the Super Bowl.
Never forget that as awesome as Freddy, Kyle, and Wood may be, WE are the Buffalo Bills.
Represent Bills fans, and as always.....
Go Bills
One could argue that there being a lot of talent on those teams might have helped a little too.

Where have you gone, Shawn Nelson? A nation turns its lonely eyes to you.

Incomplete sideline throw that would have been a 4 yard gain.

That's disgusting and it almost comes off as victim blaming. "I was going to punish him more but she said..."

Anyone care that the article says they looked at those sites 18 months ago, and that now they're looking at WNY sites?
Would this or would this not be consistent with what Kirby and others have been saying?
It could also mean that they are going through the motions by showing interest in wny, knowing full well when they get the team they can basically do whatever they want with it.
-
Sure did. Here's the full transcript.

Was that before or after she apologized for her part?
-
Absolutely. IMO Rice should be gone for a season.
At least.

It's super easy to find an awesome QB outside of the 1st round. That's why the Bills have had so many over the years.
-
Eh... we've got 3 young guys who have not reached their ceiling yet. I'm hoping the odds are that 1 of them will pan out (no preference who). I will say this, the hall of fame game will probably settle the dispute over who is number 2 and I'm excited to watch. Anyone know if it is televised on cable? I don't wanna waste cash at the bar... but I will.
The hall of fame game being so early is typically the worst preseason game. I doubt it will settle anything other than "how many drinks will make this palatable." The vegas line right now is sitting at "a lot" but it's expected to go up as we get closer to game day.

Forced nicknames are the worst.

That's a $25K fine now, amiright? Bad things man. It was more fun to watch, but that play alone gives a lot of credence to the strict helmet to helmet rules of today's game.
I remember the AFC Championship game in 1994 when he pulled Montana down on his head well after the ball was gone and Montana didn't play again that game. I don't think he even got a penalty. Probably because nobody but the TV cameras saw what happened.
-
Which goes back to the point of if you want to make a statement pack the stadium.
Pack the stadium while doubling ticket prices.

how bout I tell what website your on. It's a Bills message board. Last I checked it was:
WWW.TWOBILLSDRIVE.COM
just sayin.
So it's not nascar site? Well my face is red.
-
Please tells us more about which sports are and aren't
-
ok. Then how about this. He still sucks at hockey. The only good thing he does is he's a loud mouth idiot that creates penalties. He can barely skate. Can't score. When someone else pushes up on him he turtles like a punk
ok

i believe your work your doing is false. And it's not even close. Check ratings. Not even close. Others have posted that. I don't know where you do work for that you see this but I'd assume the company won't be around long of they keep up with information like that.
and I can tell you he's a POS on the street.
When I worked for Ingram micro he was one of the hosts for a golf tournament there. Showed up hammered. Was hitting on every chick there. Made an ass of himself. Embarrassed the directors at Ingram that went out of their way to get him there.
I've also heard stories by other people that have seen him do things as stupid as trying to start fights with parents in the stands when he was younger because they would yell at him and things like that.
He's a POS. He doesn't deserve to be in sports.
The same could be said of most of the 90s Bills and probably the current ones. Rich pro athletes acting like !@#$s is not exactly groundbreaking.

If the fans were that hostile they'd just move the home games to Toronto but keep calling themselves the Buffalo Bills until a court let them out of the lease. If that's the goal, then great but it would not "save the Bills" as much as "ensure any glimmer of hope that the Buffalo would get another team no matter how small was completely extinguished."

It seems super reliable!
