  1. What would be better then demanding a refund?

     

    Season ticket holders have the least leverage of anyone for the remainder of the season. They've already paid for their tickets, and you're not getting a refund. The best we can do is hope that someone else will be willing to buy our seats if we don't want to go.

     

    Season ticket holders only have leverage in the offseason, when it's time to decide if you want to pony up and renew your seats.

     

    If any fans have any leverage left, it's the fans that buy the tickets with inflated prices off of the current season ticket holders and brokers. If they decided to stop buying, and brokers are forced to take a loss on seats, maybe the brokers won't buy up as many next season.

  2. Wrote the first words that came to mind... I'm sorry if it sucks.

     

    Take Me Home - Abbott Rd. (John Denver's Country Roads)

     

    Almost had it. Inept Offense.

    No balls coaching.

    Defense bent than broke.

    This **** is old here

    Playoffs just a memory.

    Johnson, Losman, Edwards

    God I miss Kelly.

     

    Abbott Rd.... take me home

    there I'll drink... and get stoned

    God-damn Bills, Why'd I come here

    Take me home now.. Abbot Rd.

     

    All this traffic, going nowhere.

    Minor accident, freakin female driver.

    I'm feeling crusty, tear drop in my eye

    Why did we have to punt it?

    Thanks god, next week is a bye!

     

    Abbott Rd.... take me home

    there I'll drink... and get stoned

    God-damn Bills, Why'd I come here

    Take me home now.. Abbot Rd.

     

    We made some noise

    Even had a beer poured on me

    My wife calls to remind me to buy tampons on the way

    And drivin down the road I get a feelin

    That I should have stayed home today, yes today

     

    Abbott Rd.... take me home

  3. Trent appears to be as uninspired as our head coach... and that is a product of coaching.

     

    On top of that, he sucks... either by his own doing, or by offensive design. Look at Aaron Rodgers. His line didn't give him any more protection against the Vikings then Edwards gets on a weekly basis. Meanwhile, he still took shots down field and managed to go over 300 yards passing.

  4. Cool As Ice

     

    Starring Vanilla Ice, in an early 90's retake on Devil Without a Cause. Aside from the flashy clothes and brilliant rap skills, we were also treated to these earth changing lines....

     

    "Drop that zero and get with the hero!"

    "Yo, you axed me."

    "Sharper than the point on the tip of a nail."

  5. Freeney's combine results per ESPN.com

     

    2002: Dwight Freeney, Syracuse -- Colts (1st round, No. 11 overall)

     

    Freeney is a great example of how an experienced general manager can sift through the combine and find gold. He is not prototypical in all of the measurables. He is not small, but he is short (6-1). However, the Colts realized a 4.48 40-yard dash time, 37-inch vertical leap and 28 reps of 225 pounds on the bench press were terrific numbers for a 266-pound man. Because of his combine workout, Freeney skyrocketed to the 11th pick and has been a standout for the Colts.

     

     

    Profootballweekly.com indicated prior to the draft that he had run a 4.42 (unofficial).

  6. Bottom line... if the powers that be put a high emphasis on getting the top TE in this draft, they have to take him at 11, because he will not be there at 28. Baltimore or Philly will take him first.

     

    Brown will be there at 11, there's no doubt in my mind. Orakpo might, and at this point, I'm not really sure which one I'd like more. If there was any possible way to slip back, I would, because Brown will still be on the board later... but not at 28.

     

    My most likely scenario is that we take Brown at 11, because Orakpo will go a slot or too before us. If Pettigrew was available at 28, I have no problem taking him over the 5th best OT in the class. I'd still take a Center in round two and move on from there.

  7. I know it's over the "decade" requirement... but Tony Gonzalez worked out pretty well in 1997.

     

    I think you left out some other first round TEs taken outside of the top 15 picks in the first round.

    2000 - Anthony Becht @ 27

    2002 - Jeremy Stevens @ 28

     

     

     

    Not to be disrespectful, but name one TE drafted in the top 15 this decade that's been worth the pick. Here's the list:

     

    2000 - Bubba Franks @ 14

    2002 - Jeremy Shockey @ 14

    2004 - Kellen Winslow @ 6

    2006 - Vernon Davis @ 6

     

    Now contrast that with TEs taken in the first round, outside the top 20 picks this decade:

     

    2001 - Todd Heap @ 31

    2002 - Daniel Graham @ 21

    2003 - Dallas Clark @ 24

    2004 - Ben Watson @ 32

    2005 - Heath Miller @ 30

    2006 - Marcedes Lewis @ 28

    2007 - Greg Olsen @ 31

    2008 - Dustin Keller @ 30

     

    To me, it's glaring that the value just isn't there in the top half of the first round. Based on draft history, team need, player value, and projections (where Pettigrew is expected to last into the 20's), it makes way more sense to pass on him. Take him at 28 if he's there, and if not, go with either a guy like Shawn Nelson at 42 or Chase Coffman/James Casey in the 3rd.

     

    Just my 1 cent.

  8. don't like the color, but it's their team colors. i like the style of the jersey...good sleek look.

     

    I don't know how it will hold up as "timeless" as Weaver says, but it looks good for them.

     

     

    And we'll still get stuck with our pajamas...

     

    Going with a fad is never "timeless".

     

    The only new look that I really like is the Baltimore Ravens. I love the black on black.
