May Day 10

the only time I heard an injury cheered at RWS was when Washington's QB got hurt late in the game (forgot who it was) and Rob Johnson had to come in. The next play, of course was a sack and it was as if the Bills won a Superbowl

I work with a few ex-NY Jet Season Ticket holders. "ex" because they gave up their tickets when the team asked them for like $10K

Well the market here is tapped. They have their one commercial of Stevie Johnson talking about the fans. You know, the one that looks and sounds like it was shot with a middle school A/V cart from 1993? laziest marketing of any pro sports team ever. Then they cry about December ticket sales. Throw a little production value in there. get people pumped about the Bills and going to the games. Throw some Inception music in there. Even the stuff on the scoreboard during the games is awful and amateurish. I went to a few Hamilton TiCats games this season and their material is better than the Bills. in before "Lead the Charge".

very good post

I dont think anyone is criticizing the deal in this thread.

His job includes way more than that. Such as running the entire organization

100%. Brandon is one constant throughout this miserable stretch.

They need a new owner who takes pride in the franchise. Top down it is second-rate and will continue to be until Ralph is no longer the owner. I dont like/trust Russ Brandon either. They just cant get it right. There wont be any changes until Ralph is gone... Cant say I fault him that much, and I cant see him want to go through with vetting a new FO. I am also sick and tired of the black cloud of relocation over our head. The losing would be a trifle less damaging to my psyche if I knew for sure they would be in Buffalo 5 years from now.

id ask them not to let up 550+ yards next game

The front office and head coach is the last front office under Wilson IMO. What you see is what you get. I still feel better about this team than I have in a long time. I dont think they are far off.

interesting stuff. Nice job!

lol, softly landed one on the 2 in the corner and bounced back to the 5. Good for him though. Glad he is having a good 1st game. Too bad its Dallas or I would be rooting for some playoffs and even a Superbowl for him.

I saw the counter draw play in my nightmares last night

My highs are very high. My lows are even keel. I dont get down/depressed any more.

Im actually in a good place now. So used to it. My highs are high. My lows are even keel and I dont get too down any more.

Pretty good job. I have been on the Buffalo-Pitts-Cleve bandwagon since before the last realignment, I feel the day and age of medium rivalries in the NFL are all but done. It is much more based on teams who are competing for the Division year to year as well as the top few teams in the Conference. I wouldnt bat an eye to see certain rivalries broken up. Better rivalries would be born if you have the geographical alignment. NYJ vs NYG, KC/STL, Buf/Cle/Pit, Wash/Balt, etc... The divisions would have the feel of mini-NCAA Conferences. They are overdue for a re-alignment (and expansion IMO). If you really want to rack your brain, try MLB realignment. The possibilities in MLB if you throw some AL/NL tradition aside are amazing. Well, the Miami/Bills game is very luke-warm attendance and interest-wise. I know they are both bad... But I really dont feel much hatred toward Miami, at least not much more than any other NFL team. We had the domination of the 70's, then Marino vs Kelly action and some great competition... But I think it is going to take a lot to really kindle the rivalry again. The Eagles, Giants, and Redskins dont worry about selling out without the Cowboys. I think your AFC West argument may hold water. Especially where he has the Broncos. They have been taken away from their 2 rivals and not really given anything to get excited about (KC has STL, OAK has SF I believe).

it really wasnt too brutal. Other than their terrible delivery. How did those guys get hired to speak (I mean yell) into the radio? I like how they say the stadium in the neighborhood is some sort of bad thing. I think it is great, and its a dying breed. I thought Wrigley Field was amazing because we paid some Asian guy to park at some dude's brownstone. I dont get the allure of trashing the opposing city. Maybe it is because I pull for and from Buffalo, who is near the bottom rung of the world-class American major sports-worthy cities... but is anyone on the other end of that radio getting all excited and pumped up because they are shitting on Buffalo? what is the deal? What am I missing? Does it prop them up and make them feel better about themselves? When NE plays New Orleans, do they drop Katrina bombs and make fun of all the poverty there? Ha ha. how fun.

suspension would have been dumb. Maybe if the contact was malicious...

a health issue of some sort seems like the only thing that would really make sense to me.

maybe he slept with Hasek's wife

Moorman was the best punter I have ever seen. I mean that in all seriousness. Some of those bombs where the returner had to sprint back and the camera panned back down the field....

gamesmanship for NE week

ok, I guess every instance it isnt. But how the video starts, with this guy standing there and the other Bills fan jostling around makes me think they werent doing too much to diffuse things.

the guy was standing on seats facing the guy and challenging him. I doubt that was necessary

I dont mind. There was some fantastic games yesterday, including 3 simultaneous OT games. A few huge upsets, and an all-out street brawl between Balt/NE I wasnt even looking for them to cover the CLE/BUF game.
