He had 9.5 sacks and the second most takles for loss in the country. How can you say that he can't rush the passer?

It will be said that he died of lung cancer, but it's more likely that he died of a broken heart from what happened to his program that he always took so much pride in being top class. RIP.

Upshaw could play 4/3 DE or 3/4 OLB. Made it a point to watch him all Championship game and he was all over the field, from sideline to sideline making plays. He was in a 3 pt stance on the line pretty much the whole game too.

Don't you mean that Terry Pegula really needs to get in there and redo that franchise?

Schoop and the Bulldog are the worst sports talk radio hosts that I have ever heard. I listen to sports talk radio quite often and have lived in numerous cities with different national/local hosts and they are by far the worst. I can't beleive they keep their jobs. Whenever I'm home and turn them on they are mostly talking about non-sports issues. Once it was a comedy movie draft, then it was something about christmas movies. I had to turn it off. I'm sorry but in the middle of the football and hockey season you should be talking about football and hockey (among the other sports) on a sports radio show. I'm not even going to get into how rude and condescending they are to pretty much all the callers. Simon in the morning is not bad, but the afternoon show needs to change. The SVP national show isn't bad at all, but not a lot of hockey talk.

No way. This is an NFL team from NYC not a struggling MLB or NHL team. No way would they give up partial ownership (especially for a 36 year old after missing an entire season with neck issues).

Everyone knows that the NFL has turned into a pass happy, high scoring league. With that being said, it would make sense that most teams are building defenses to stop this type of offense, right? That is, defenses built on speed and pass rushing. As a smaller market team with potential weather issues at the end of the season, would it make sense to build our team differently? What if we tried to model a team off of the early 2000s Bucs and Ravens? Try to build the nastiest defense in the league and then have a ball control running offense. Low turnovers, low mistakes, clock control, field position. If other teams in the league are trying to stop high scoring passing offenses they should be vulnerable to this type of offensive philosophy. Fitz would certainly be a serviceable QB here. We would really only need to beef up the O-Line some and we could really use a lot of our current team (offense) to do it. Go all D in the draft for the next couple years and maybe a couple/few FA acquisitions. Wouldn't this be our best shot at really competing (at least until we find that top 5 in the league franchise QB type)?

Those guys you mention are the only S.B winning QBs since 2003. I'd say that's the most important part of a SB winning team, wouldn't you? Fitz is not one of these guys. He may get us to the playoffs, sure, but SB championship? I don't think so. Draft a QB and keep doing it until you find the right one.

Went to H.S. with his son Wes. Wade was always at the football and basketball games as Wes was our QB and a F. He was a class act around the fans every time, not to mention we we're actually pretty good with him coaching us. To a speedy recovery.

Also, both Newton and Russel have big arms and are huge. He wasn't compared to Timmy because he is seen as having weak arm strength and motion.

Man, it's sad that once again in the middle of December I'm looking forward to April. Ugh.

Blah, blah, blah. The Bills had 2 turnovers in the N.E. game and 1 turnover in the Philly game. Good teams don't make as many mistakes as bad teams and good teams cause turnovers through pressure, confusion, schemes, will powers, and play making ability.

I love the comment the "Eagles just gave them the game." I guess it was a given that they were going to march down the field in one minute with no timeouts from at best the 20 yard line and score a touchdown (that would have only sent the game to O.T.). There was still a long way to go even if they didn't jump the snap. Everyone (media) seems to say that play cost the Eagles the game. Crazy.

The guys also picked KC in week #1, Oakland in week #2, and N.E. in week #3. Who cares.

How about the bambulance?

If you would have just read a few posts later you would have seen that I clearly welcomed him back and he recognized his transgressions. Just poking a little fun at the man. However, to you, and everyone else on here for that matter, that uses the "how dare you have an opinion when you've only wrote ___ # of posts." Not all of us have hours upon hours during the day to read and respond to everything that's posted on here. Some of us just like to read what's going on in Bills world and not post or respond at all, some of us like to respond once in a while, and some of us respond a lot. Who cares? Does it really mean that you're a bigger fan or you have more of a right to an opinion because you have more posts than I do? Let it be man, just enjoy some conversation/debate/fanfare. And if you are gonna come with something, please try a little harder than your bride bachelorette party thingy. What does that even mean? These posts/replies are almost as bad as the grammar police that often pop up.

Actually, it's Ithaca College, but I didn't go there. I went to a different university that's also located in Ithaca.

Ok, so of the 14 responses that she quoted there, yours was the only one that was cool? I'm really glad she kept in that one appropriate response to show the other 13 how it should have been done. Thanks. Also, she did not portray herself as a victim at all. She clearly wrote that most responses gave her some jabs and that those were expected and, in fact, welcomed. However, the idiot few (yours being one) wrote things like this...

That's funny. You basically called me an idiot by not calling me an idiot! Awesome. I don't know what to tell you guys, maybe it is an age thing. I'm 30, went to a darn good univeristy in Ithaca, and have never heard the expression outside of Bills talk. I really can't be the only one. And my western experience...Unforgiven, Tombstone, Dances with Wolves, Open Range, Young Guns and remakes of 3:10 to Yuma and True Grit. No wagon circling in those!

You made the paper...congratulations??? You and everyone else who wrote in similar fashion should be ashamed of yourselves. I'm glad she made point to say that it was the minority of feedback that was of this tone and not indicative of all of Bills Nation. Personal shots about her being a woman, not being attractive, threatening her, seriously? Personally, as a Bills fan, those responses were embarrassing.

We've all heard the fantastic line coined by Berman "Nobody Circles the Wagons like the Buffalo Bills." But I wonder, does everyone really know what is referring to? I didn't. I always thought it sounded cool, thought maybe it had something to do with people jumping on the bandwagon when we started being good, but was never really sure. So I took it upon myself to do some googling and was pleasently surprised to find out what it really means and I thought I'd share it since I couldn't find it brought up before. The saying refers to the way the settlers/frontier people would defend themselves back in the days of the old west. When they were threatened by someone/something (most often Natives) they would arrange their wagons in a circle to form wall of sorts. They would keep inside the circle using it for protection and defense. Using this tactic they were able to defeat foes that seemingly would have walked right over them in a fight. So, using this in a football sense it really refers to three things. First, a victory that came after being down by a lot (i.e. the Houston Oilers playoff victory). Second, a victory against a heavily favored opponent that no one expected them to defeat. And finally, a season of success when no one thought the team would be good. So far this season seems to be the ultimate circling of the wagons. We have made two impressive 2nd half comebacks from significant deficits, we have also beat a team where hardly anyone expected us to emerge with a victory, and we are 3-0 when most (including myself) felt this was going to be another long, tough season with the possiblity of getting a #1 overall pick. I'm elated at where we stand now and can't wait for Sunday's again. Just thought I'd share.

I'm certainly not saying that you are not welcome back. But I haven't lived in Buffalo since 98. I've lived in Pittsburgh, North Carolina, Ohio, and now Indiana and I have never once considered rooting for the Steelers (lived there for one SB win), the Panthers (lived there during their SB run), the Colts (lived here for a SB win and loss), the Bears, the Browns or Bengals over the Bills no matter what. So, while it is understandable, forgivable and you are welcomed back with open arms; it's still a bandwagon move.

You, sir, are what I like to call a Bandwagoner.

Yeah, but he backtracked on that the next day.
