Maybe WGR knew this was going to be a crap the bed performance by the Bills and just decided to spare WNYer's the pain.....

if this doesn't speak to drafting a QB in round 1 nothing does.....anyone know the Bills record for most INT's in a half?

it was the '89 season and that would have been my vote. Ronnie Harmon dropping the pass at the end of the game summed up that season perfectly.

Cookie Gilchrist - should have been on the wall long ago

The ownership question is an interesting one.....most fans were so happy the team was staying local hands that the fact that the Saber's hadn't done anything other than chew through coaches and GM's didn't really matter. Neither team has done much of anything since the current owner has taken over....wasn't this supposed to be the year the Saber's turned it around? On the plus side the owner doesn't appear to be the meddling type so that's good - he just doesn't seem to have found the right combination of management/coaching yet for either franchise.

Who owns anything really? Aren't we just cogs in the big machine?

Nice. Doesn't have our accent though, at least not that i can tell..... Of course, Batavia isn't really Buffalo.....

Is his wife a native Buffalonian?

LOL My dad, who moved to Charlotte from Buffalo in '79 and who passed in 2004 along with my Uncle from Fredonia who was a 45 year season ticket holder and just passed this week will be there I'm pretty sure.....

Dr. Cappucino was the dr. that decided to use the cooling method. He was the team's orthopedic surgeon and they had just practiced for this situation two weeks before (according to the book i just read about Everett that was written by a reporting from Philly of all places). Cappucino's colleague would not say, with certainty, that the cooling treatment was the difference. I wonder, ten years later, if a definite recommendation has come out on using that process? Cappuccino was not from U of Miami. However, the Miami Project, headed up by Nick Buonocotti's son, who was also paralyzed, supported the treatment.

So you became a Bills fan right on the cusp of the best six years the team has had (88-94) and you probably thought that you should expect the team to be consistent winners...unfortunately for those of us born about the time the team was born and remember the late 60's, the mid to late 70's, the mid 80's and the entire 21st century there has been more sucking than not. I agree with you that 30 years ago you couldn't find a Patriots fan and for the most part, even when the Bills sucked they'd at least beat the Patriots once a season. The team is due though - every 25 years (roughly): 64-66, 92-93, and just about now (though I think we're a couple years away).....well, tomorrow we begin again, worst case, the draft is only seven months away and they go to camp in ten months.....

laying on the kitchen floor, at the island asking WTF.....then going outside and screaming....

I doubt they would have won any.....Now, maybe you take Kelly and give the Bills Don Shula and they win one......As already noted above, Kelly was much better at managing the game and had enough of the coach's confidence to be allowed to call and manage his own game, consistently, throughout his career.

that's what i was thinking, celebrate the recovery.

As the the 10th anniversary of Kevin Everett's injury is coming up on Sept. 9th does anyone know if the Bills plan to do anything to commemorate it? I just picked up the book that was written about his recovery - at a garage sale for a buck - pretty interesting story. It was written by a writer from Philly which surprised me a bit.

That's funny, i don't care who you are....

when you're at the ATL airport hit Pappacito's....best Mexican food you'll ever have....or hit Pappadeaux's for great cajun....

i'm an old timer too and don't remember the preseason with Knox that you reference but absolutely recall that the Bills only won two preseason games during the SB years if i recall correctly. Levy was smart, he kept it vanilla, rested the starters and used preseason for what it should be used for - try out new talent. At least that's my opinion.....

Being a Bills fan makes me think of Bill Murray in Groundhog Day......except nothing ever really changes.....the better poll might be: When does McDermott get canned? 2018, '19 or '20? And I know, its only the 2nd pre-season game but for Crimminy's sake, just a little ray of hope somewhere, please.

Actually the Bills did play Cleveland last year - Dec. 17th - I was there......and my son and i were thrilled to see them win....

This is so basic its almost embarrassing - my son and i attended his first ever Bills home game last December (Cleveland game) and my first game at New Era in 23 years and we feasted on Sahlen's hot dogs with Webers mustard and a nice craft beer i brought up from Virginia for the trip. All cooked over a home made grill (popcorn drum and sheet metal griddle) parked next to Tom Cat in Hammer's lot. It was awesome. Yeah, Breyer, I have a pond in the back, a pool and a pond. The pond might be good for you......

Cue the old lady....."GO OJ GO......"

"Jackie Kemp"? That made me smile.... my mom and dad were at the '64 game and my mom got hurt running on to the field at games end (more likely dragged by my dad)...she's 90 now and if you ask her about the Bills there's a pretty good chance you'll hear the story of her falling while being dragged onto the field at the end of the '64 championship game...
