I have been thinking alot about why the Bills are always getting hurt....it occurred to me that a lack of quality backups is contributing to this. If you have poor depth you ride your starters hard. If you backups are option 1A material, your probably don't lose any players. You would think it would all level out in that with the injuries the Bills have you develop the depth. But anytime somebody gets good they let em go during free agency because they can't pay them. My two cents anyway.

Really....I may have to move then. I am one of these unfortunate people in Syracuse who got tossed into the blackout radius a few years back because a sliver of the broadcast reaches inside the blackout radius. Total Money grab and it still bothers me. Technology exists so they know where my house is and should let me see the game at my house... but alas some BS about "you have to be inline with what the local station is showing" because the Franchise grants them that right. And don't even get me started on last week, when the game was not blacked out but because it was on fox, they could not show a game at 1PM competing with the CBS game. Somebody has to explain that to me. Thus I hate it when Buffalo plays NFC teams. It happens sometimes but not always.

Does everyone that these are working for have Roadrunner? I have DSL and it is just so choppy. Almost can't watch it. Stops starts etc. Would consider paying the big bucks for roadrunner if it actually worked.

I like Parrish doing the cat. He not a true running back but he is our 3rd string QB and I am sure he could do a fair job running as well. Perhaps we can be the first team to add the wrinkle of throwing out of that formation consistantly. Put all 3 in backfield, move one of them out pre-snap.

I won't take my 8 year old which is depressing. Some people are already jerks sober and then they get blitzed it gets worse. Last 4 games I went to I have had at least one person within rows of me that was either talking about hunting down and killing the official( all game long, like every play) or saying inappropriate ( very detailed ) things to every woman walking up the isle. When someone in our section did finally say something to the "kill the ref guy", he turned his ire to him and started grousing about him being a tub of crap ( that was the entire second half) and then he followed him out early to fight him. I mean what the heck is wrong with some people. My obervation is the guys I always have a problem with are blizted beyond belief. Its a tuff problem as I like put back my share of beers at the tailgate as well but I never turn into a idiot (says me). The only time I had a no issues like this at a game was when we lucked into 50 yard lines seats 23 rows up for the bills oilers playoff game. Everyone there were season ticket holders and it made a difference. If I owned the team, I would look for drunks and not let them in if they are above .12 BAC. Yeah that is higher than the driving limit but I am just trying to guess here what the ahole limit is. Course they can get lit up in the stadium as well. But doing something at the door would reduce the ahole count even getting in.

No way. We know Fitz is not the answer long term. Why do we want to win more games and get a worse draft pick? If your going to pull Trent then go with Broom. We may lose even more or maybe find out if that guy can play. We ain't making the playoffs with any of them this year anyway. So if you are thinking next year already...find out if Broom can play. I hope I am wrong and they win 10 games. Last week was depressing...Yet another game they stay in long enough to make you watch the entire game...only to lose.

True it was the LA times but CNN had the link. Sorry for the confusion.

Yup saw the comments. The way this came to me just fried me. I was just reading the news on cnn and happened to catch the link under sports. As I am opening it I am thinking please don't be the Bills. Hey like I should care. I hope they have a great year and stick it to the national media.

My link Can't believe the lack of respect for the Bills this year. This is not the first post suggesting that...but this article is just icing on the cake.

Wow I just started twicthing when reading this. #2 D the year before. His answer to that was, "who was number #1"...we are changing. He was done before he even started.

I agree with the other forum member in that the yellow line must have been wrong and the Pats did go ten yards. The most important thing to remember here is that if they had not gone 10 yards, Jauron would have been all over it and challenged the spot of the ball. At that critical point in the game these guys check everything and have always been on the ball.

My big problem with the O-line the last 6 years will be highlighted with a question. When was the last time the Bills were first and goal on the 3 yard line and you had complete confidence they would punch it in with the run? or 3rd and 1 from anywhere on the field? or 4th and inches?

http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/news?slug=ap-b...p&type=lgns Thought DJ said that did not matter. He is either listening to the fans or maybe after he watched the San Fran game tape and realized that SF looked like the cold weather team more so than the Bills...hmmm...maybe there is some advantage to practicing in this stuff

Took me a while to get this but very funny.

Folks seem to forget Jason Peters has only been playing OL for 3 years. One at RT and close to two at LT. He was a TE in college. We talk about him like he is going to be stuck at his current probowl level for years to come. He is still on the way up, which was frustrating that he missed camp. This year his sitting out really hurt him and the entire line. Give him some time, there is a good chance he will actually perform to that level and really earn it. As for the front office. Come up with a contract that is acceptable to Petey that gives him a big raise in the offseason. But not elite tackle money. Say 4 or 5 years in length, share with him that you don't think he has arrived yet but he does deserve more than he is getting paid. Put some escalator clauses or voidable years in so he won't be stuck with this non elite contract if he does become elite. Remember the Bills have a ton of leverage with this guy. He has to play for the next two years to get $$. Give him some money now...we can keep him longer vs waiting until he is FA in 2 years and then trying to sign him. As for Petey screwing up on the now infamous jets play. I don't have TVo or DVI and was not paying attention to him on the play. I only remember DJ saying in an interview that JP should have read the guy being free during the pre-snap read and know he was coming. Full back not open...you toss the ball away. Does not sound like Peters was supposed to pick him the up then. I have not gone back to the replay to look for myself.
