This was one of the most entertaining meeting as speakers go. First speaker was Bobby April the ST coach who grew up in New Orleans and loves the Buffalo area. He left the game planning meeting to talk for 10-15 mins. Told us that the return that involved Mario---the league made an error and admitted it to the Bills. He was asked about the backups for our kicker and punter and the two are each others back ups in an extreme emergency Kris Kelsay is the kicker. Second speaker was Kris Kelsay who was a star athlete in track, high jump, basketball and football. His older brother also played at Nebraska and a short time in the Steelers organization. Kris was a linebacker in HS and the DE in college. His mother was a principal and he has a good head on his shoulders with the importance of education in this world. He was asked about the sharing of duties with Denny and told us that they were both told that they were the starters at that position. They work together and know that the one who produces the most tackles with get more play. Rotating keeps them fresh but of course each one of them wants to be the starter. He recently married and they bought a house in the Buffalo area. During the off week many players went home but he and his wife stayed here and watched college and pro football. She is a hughe football fan and loves the area also. After football he plans on going into the insurance business with his brother in Omaha. A truly delightful young man. I asked what the first big purchase he bought and he said the engagement ring and a house. Then I said it was usually a car or truck. He admitted he bought a hummer but not the spinning rims.When asked about a football player or person he idolized he said his older brother. About how the locker room was after the close losses he said very disappointing but they never should have been in that situation to lose. In both games it came down to approx. 5 plays. 5 plays make the difference and They can turn it around. Adam Begini(sp) local NBC sports reporter was the next speaker and he threw some numbers out at us and I hope I wrote them down correctly. 0-2 starts in football since 1990 17 teams have made it to the playoffs - 5 to the conference championship game 3 to the Super Bowl. New England in 96 and 2001 and the Cowboys in 93 (we know who won that one) an 0-3 start made it in 1998 Our running game is bad with a 2.7 average. on 3rd and 6 or less we are 11 of 27 of the 27 --17 have been 3rd and 6 or better. The O line has been together for 3 hours of play. It takes a long time for it to gel into what we had in the 90's. The defense is picking up where they left off last year and we have to get more take aways. the 4th speaker was Mark Kelso he is a Def. coach at St Mary's in the Buffalo area and he loves it. When asked if he wanted to coach at the pro level he said no. Marv offered him that years ago but you would have to be crasy to be an assit. coach. He said the were getting paid $100,000 but you have to work at least 70 hours a week year round (you would have to be the villiage idiot) and that at the PRO level you have no great influence. He explained how the Raiders ran the same play 3 times in a row for large gains and that by having Pat Williams move ofer 6-10 inches in the 3 hole it would not have happened. He is a very passionate football coach you can tell his love for the game has not deminished one bit. I had to ask abou the Kazoo Helmet and he explained the dramatic hits that were cushioned by that pad but it was ugly. Our 5th speaker was to be Denny Lynch from the Bills but he was put on hold because of time. As you can plainly see I'm not a good reporter and hate typing. I will not use the caps and punctuation or check for spelling errors so :I starred in Brokeback Mountain: if you want to pick on me or just attend the next meeting which will be at the stadium again the last Tuesday of the month.

I wanna be Drew then if what you say is true. PAT, Pat, pat, sack, pile on.

In the Paul McGuire Suites. Guest speakers to be announced and NO, I don't feel like taking notes on the x's and o's.

Ground control to ....................................are you ready for some football

I'm gonna do my best to make the zebras "NOT JUST GIVE IT TO THEM"

OH, MY, Poles, hands, 3 more hours to work

OH baby, I love it when you talk sexy. I pick on Tuesday and never read any injury reports. My call it quarter is the lucky piece DO you really believe that.

It's a roll of the dice. Snake eyes...............Drew's day :) If it came up boxcars then the O-Line

I know that the people out of the area do not get to see these shows and I only watch or tape two of them. This week on Bills Access with Steve Tasker(wonder why I tape it?) They had TKO and London clips of them learning to surf at the Pro Bowl. It was really funny stuff. Coach M's show is more x's and o's and they answer e-mailed ?'s

It wasn't as big a response as the I'm WET thread. thought you didn't read mine.

#41 soon to be on the 3rd page. I always pick the BILLS

there are always tickets on the highway rte 20A and 219 the have tickets/need tickets people. They usually are pretty reasonable. Call the ticket office to make sure it is 100% sold out first.

I was 11-2 in the football pool. What are they thinking letting me get that many right in one week.

waste of bandwidth?

Oh so now we know who to blame thank

These are the important things in life, Not being 0-2. All my love and prayers. See ya Oct 31st LOT 1 pole 5 they changed the painted #'s on the poles.

was interviewed. He came right out and said he IS the QB end of story. Even if the players do not listen to the news/sports they can tell by the questions being asked what is being said about them. I think they read it and watch it.

jay rosen Bob L SDS DCTOM JSP GAVIN JIS too many

This logo looks best on a white background is that acceptable or a blue hat with a white front panel. Just wanting everyone's input

The Wheels on the bus go round and round. My first thought was 100 bottles but it was taken :blink:

Someone in the Bills parking lot invited me to the community. I don't remember who it was It was a man.

hey you rich bastard......they still serve it downstairs. Kettle Corn that is

of Stadium sportswear for donating several hats to out tailgate Raffle. Just had to start another non Bills Bashing thread. hint hint

MY whole point of the post was to QUIT ALL THE DOOM Good grief it is just 2 games and the first one was ours until 6 seconds left. I'm looking forward to the next game. We have way too many good players to Suck every week. They just have to LEARN how to WIN. Get their heads out of their ASSES and QUIT HOLDING. Good grief you don't have to have played football to know that you do not Grab and pull down someone who doesn't even have a chance of catching the punt returner after they have gone by you. Frustrating team - well hell yes it is but I'm a Bills Fan. Many here post only negative posts about the team. Goof Grief. It's a GAME not life. Yes, they get paid more that we could think of making but WE can not control the outcome of the game. Some posters should be in the hall of fame with their should have done this coaching. Eleven more days until we see them play again. Maybe it would be a good time for a vacation. stevestojan the move to Florida comment was because you said If you can be optomistic about this season so far, then I want to hang around with you if the apocalypse comes. Didn't think I could get you to move closer. :blink:
