  1. Was a rabid Browns fan (that's all we had) until the Bills came to town. Started going to games at the Rock Pile in 1960. So I guess I've been in for the whole shebang.
  2. I'm a huge Bills and Auburn fan, but I agree Dareus was the better choice. Fairley was a one year wonder at Auburn who overperformed his last year to get paid. His trajectory right now is following Albert Haynesworth.
  3. Don't know about a nickname, but here's a motto - "All your QB are belong to us"
  4. Feel sorry for Tebow. The NY press will eat him alive. He'll have tons of press people who will make it their business to poke holes in his squeaky clean image. That said, as a Bills fan, loving the chaos that will ensue with the Jets.
  5. I totally agree. There is no way to know whether RGIII or any QB coming out of college can process what's happening after the ball is snapped at the SPEED of the NFL. On top of that, the fans and the media here in DC have very little patience with their sports teams. Having paid such a steep price for RGIII will only increase the pressure on him. Tom Boswell has an article in the Washington Post today where he looked at all QBs taken in the first and second rounds over tha past 20 years. Their combined record for their first season is 50-115. It's their second and third years where you really find out if they can play. Given the atmosphere in this town (and I hope for RGIII's sake I'm wrong) I don't think RGIII makes it that far if he doesn't produce this year.
  6. How's it feel to be Tebowed? Kind of like Sandusky'd? See ya next week.
  7. Agree that Saban is arrogant. How can he claim to be such a master recruiter and he can't find a decent kicker? War Eagle!
  8. Very good point. I'm also in the DC area. It's a hoot (and not surprising) that the sports talk radio folks here are spending all their time talking about how much the Skins stink, and giving no credit to how good the Bills are. Great example - nothing being said about Dareus being moved to nose and how much of a force he was. In fact, I don't recall the Fox broadcast team pointing that out either. Guess we're still under the radar.
  9. Given we're so thin at WR, what's the chance we bring back TO?
  10. Full disclosure - I'm a first year AU fan. I have seen all their games this year (my son is a freshman there). I'm also a lifelong Bills fan, going all the way back to the Rockpile in 1960. Cam has been spectacular many times this season, but last night was not one of them. While good, AU should have had 3 more TDs if he had been accurate. That's the most I've seen hime miss wide open receivers - could wonder if his back injury was an issue. He still might be great as a pro, but if anyone had a foolproof way to evaluate whether a QB could be a star playing the game at NFL speed, just from looking at college performance and the Combine, they could write their own ticket. I think Cam is too much of a gamble. Nick, on the other hand, has shown again and again this year that he is almost unblockable, unless you double or triple him - just what we need either in the middle at 3-4 or DT if we go back to 4-3. So the Bills should grab him if he's available at 3. While they are at it, they should get Ted Roof as DC. Love to see how he would scheme against Brady and the rest.
  11. ... "Hope and ChanG" Oh, wait - how's that working out for the other guy?
  12. Yep. I'm there most every Sunday. Great food makes up for the lousy football. ;-)
  13. Per PFT, Charley Casserly says Bills interested in Russ Grimm for HC. Gonna have to get a hogette outfit ;-)
