May Day 10

Still cant get over it. Probably never will. I have been relatively convinced this team would be gone Looking forward to seeing the articles and columns that still ignore all this and mention Buffalo as a relocation candidate.

I gotta say. Pbr is a very good "common beer"

Can't believe this is happening tomorrow

I like the part where russ brandon is the only man capable of running this team. 6 last place finishes aside. There were some gaffes too. Uniforms among the worst in nfl history, t.o. The second toronto contract which had to be quashed after a year for some reason... constantly making me angry as a sth, enough to cancel and then inherit other seats years later from a late friend. I also feel that this team can do much much better ticket sales and price wise. Or his big coaching search brought 4chan failey aboard. Anyhow. Thinking of the bills' future this is a happy occasion and I can't be brought down from that. Huge game this weekend. Don't want to dwell too much on this topic or the negative past right now

count me in for hoping for a long overdue and much needed fresh start here. either way though, things will remain for the season. Who knows, maybe the team will break the cycle this season. Thy are 3-2 an have a good chance at it maybe

Thanksgiving currently the toughest tickets. Any left at the box office? Anyways, there really arent too many bad seats there. 300s are definitely not too far away. Bad seats are 100 level where giant chunks of the ice are obstructed, and you need to watch 1/2 the game on the scoreboard. Usually in the rows 6-14 range on the sides toward the corners. Anywhere in the 100s though buyer beware. You also tend to possibly be near people who you can just tell are there for the 'thing to do' ala Bisons games of '89-'92 I have also noticed front row of the 300 level in the corners are very cramped seats. I had STs there one year and changed seats after 1 season. They said they have 3 or 4 builds of seats used and they are lettered A-D or something like that (the seats are labelled somewhere) and those seats are the most narrow. Even the skinniest of people using my seats (im not big either) would come away with that dominating their experience. Pretty uncomfortable. Like anything, Aisle seats are the way to go. You can also check the map on Sabres.com to see where the restrooms are in relation to your seat.

the bad part about losing this game is a few things It gives NE the upper hand again and also allows them to get more comfortable in winning mode. Will be down by 1 game to NE with a head to head loss and the last game of the season @ a place we never won. So if it relegates Buffalo to a wild card chase. We can almost write off 1 spot to San Diego as they look really good and own head to head. That means Buffalo will have to beat out every one of PIT, BAL, CLE, TEN, KC, MIA, and HOU (who have head to head). win, and Buffalo has another win, a 1(+) game lead on the Patriots with head to head and 2-0 in division vs 0-2. Buffalo has a number of easy games coming up... and the Patriots will again have a lot of scrutiny and headed toward a kind of brutal stretch: Jets (short week and the Jets always seem to give them fits), Chicago, Denver, @ Indy, Detroit, @ Green Bay, @ San Diego. So many big game and the Bills havent been able to get over that hump. Really, this game is it. They can make a huge statement that this is a new day. The AFC East would be the Bills' to lose.

I just hope they do a full press conference Wednesday, Thurs, or Friday and Pegula can be up there with Alumni, etc and whip us up in a frenzy like with the Sabres. The podium at the stadium always falls flat, its hard to hear, people arent paying attention, etc. I would love for a montage video like Golisano released when he bought the Sabres. sent a DVD to all STH and mini pack holders and it was an amazing rush for a fanbase who was pretty low and felt disconnected to the past.

I would say that the Patriots 56-10 drubbing of the Bills on Sunday night in 2007 was another big home game like this. The Bills were 5-4, won 4 or 5 straight, were looking good, coming home for a raucous primetime crowd...

I kind of get excited thinking of a resurgent Bills going into Denver for a big game with Kyle Orton with revenge on his mind

I have said it before, during, and after the draft: Sell the farm to get this guy.

Oh yeah... The defense

They trying to get brady hurt?

I did plenty of bashing and paranoia. It was completely off base and wrong. The man is on our rushmore. Statue needs to be erected asap

Yup. Ownership results and practice aside.... I was completely wrong about the guy. We should really take out an add in the buffalo news this week to tell the Wilsons what we really think of them

how do you "groom" a QB? why isnt it necessary with any of these other guys who seem to show better flashes than EJ, and who on the Bills staff or roster is anywhere near qualified to "groom" an NFL QB? I can see it if you are following a legend, or are coming into a tried and true well established offensive system. This system was built around Manuel's "strengths" and weaknesses. Theoretically, all the film, homework, reps, etc can be accomplished while also playing and actually be invaluable. Watching from the sideline does nothing with the amount of film out there, and reps are limited and the starter get the lion's share. IMO EJ is all but done as a starter. This signals it. He isnt going to somehow un-do all the deficiencies he has had since college. Pegula is going to come in and whether its Brandon/Whaley or new guys... its going to be find me a QB at all costs. I cant picture them dwelling on EJ.

Kolb could never even groom himself into anything

I just hope someone points Pegula in the direction of someone who is like 30 of the 32 teams and can actually identify a QB.

doesn't make this mess any less excusable and SOP for the Buffalo Bills post 2000 IMO.

I have seen New England "on the ropes" before and this feels different. They may get it together enough in a bad division to win 9 or 10 and the Division... but no more than that. They just dont have the horses. BB's game of attrition and terrible drafting has caught up with them. Brady no longer has a great defense and ST including a HOF kicker and (cameras). No more Randy Moss and/or Welker. Veterans dont want to sign there anymore because there is enough pressure to be an NFL player without BB's authoritarian policies.

http://espn.go.com/boston/nfl/story/_/id/11621703/tom-brady-rips-new-england-patriots-offense doesnt surprise me I guess the cameras showed him after Garapollo's (sp) TD and he was the only Pats player not to congratulate him...

how nice of them.

Genzler's show is very refreshing. He covers topics other than the fallbacks of Sabres' draft and Bills QB situation (although Im sure today may be different). Also so sick of the format of 1 host take side A, other side B, take callers and debate with everybody. You actually hear about UB, Canisius, Niagara, Bandits, Bisons, etc. I didnt think I cared that much about all that, but listening to it, I really do. My only complaint is sometimes he gets a little disc-jockey-ey/pukey in his delivery, but its not too often.

as usual, the Bills look (and are) completely rudderless
