dwight in philly

i am of the mind that the bills are not going anywhere simply because there are no other places to go, other than L A. i feel that a franchise other than the bills will ultimately end up there. we all know the "usual suspects", but in reality, once the L A "threat" is removed, doesnt the city thats franchise moves to L A, now become the new bargaining chip for an NFL owner? once minnesota builds a new facility, if they move to L A , they become the next destination point of a owner trying to squeeze an area for more.

the only reason jesse palmer is remotely relevant is because he was on that all time television CLASSIC, "the bachelor". other than that, who gives a sh-t what he thinks! this in no way is meant to disparage the poster but is meant to disparage jesse palmer.

i kinda agree, about the trent factor. the miami game was very much there, i think that if fitz was there, we win.

if the current trend keeps up, i think the NFL will essentially be a "studio" game, staged in empty stadiums with only corporate suites filled. as stated many times, in many ways, they are killing the proverbial golden goose. the greed is getting outta control. ralph's money grab in toronto, a prime example.

i am in total agreement! the greed of the NFL is certainly turning me off and i am a die-hard. the mindset of squeezing every last nickel they can is becoming nauseating. i will not bore everyone with obvious examples, but the understated attempts at holding fans and cities hostage to their greed will, in the end, destroy them. everyone is to blame , the players, owners, politcos, when will it end. the way things are going in today's society, the NFL should be kissing the populace's a$$, not trying to go for the knockout punch.

i am in total agreement with fans on here concerning ralph's money grab . it sickens me every time i am watching these fiascos in toronto . say what you want about jerry sullivan, but his article today sums up my feelings about the game yesterday, and what my thoughts were during the game. the competitive edge that the team loses every time it goes up there frosts my a$$. we have discussed ralph on here ad infinitum, but this really tips the scales for me, i hate what he has done to the loyal fan base in WNY. long term viability be damned!, it is total bullsh-t. this team can survive in WNY without the toronto series. do i have any facts or figures to back that premise?, no, but it is pure conjecture to believe otherwise.

witless?? sarcastic? hmmmm... if you say so.. not quite sure if your point is really legit, but o k.. you want me to leave so "brainiacs" like you are rid of guys like me, you know, guys who just want to comment on various aspects of the bills that perhaps may be devoid of spot on accuracy, proper thread heading, use of capital letters in the right context..etc.. ok.. well at least your lamp shade avatar is novel , you are..TRULY .. comically "creative". must be a treat to be around you on new years eve..think about your response to the poster.. you forcefully pointed out EXACTLY the number of years the guy was off by!, do you think anybody really gives a sh-t about what you were so quick to point out???

no problem! you would think that people like tim graham, john wawrow(noted reporters)getting p-d off and leaving would stem the tide of the "grammar and content" police, the sarcastic jackasses that are on here, but it seems not to affect them. i do think the board serves a very useful purpose for all of us that have left the area and are dedicated bills fans.

i think everyone knew what you meant, but fair warning, there are some on here that just wait to correct spelling errors, improper thread headings, stupid sh-t. just beware.

thanks for making my case!. good thing the board has "guys like you" on it!, language acumen, punctuality, far outweighs content !. get a life pal! save the pomposity. take it elsewhere. p s.. i did not start the thread, re-read who did, i just commented on the "alleged" import you seemed to place on a historical reference that you found to be a tad inaccurate.

i agree with all your thoughts. im 58, and i would obviously prefer ANYTHING, but the current ones. the fact this subject is talked about often on here means a great deal of people think about it, care about it. if it wasnt a topic, it would mean we were satisfied. i envy the packers, the bears, the browns, all classic uni's. both of the NYC teams wisely went back to their originals, just wish we would.

i know this topic is discussed quite often on here and i am in total agreement regarding the uni's from 64-65. you wonder what the heck are they thinking at OBD!. right now, i cringe as much looking at the uni's as i do the team.

to answer your question, no, the throwbacks that they wear from the sixties, are the only one's.

the gist of the thread is about how good the throwbacks would look in comparison to the sh-tty uni's being worn now. who cares about irrelevant details concerning exactly when they were worn. this board is tiresome with all the fact-checkers and grammar police permeating it.

i am just glad the thread is properly in context, worded, with proper heading.. i originally started a thread about the subject, but apparently it had a misleading heading and was critiqued because of it. sure glad that kind of stuff is so strongly emphasized on here .. not surprising that TG left, JW left,WAY TOO MANY caustic jackasses on here more interested in trying to be the hip smug guy..

i think it doesnt happen.. i think the timing of this announcement is eerily suspect..

ok ace.. sorry.. next time i will try and get it right..thank god for sharp guys like you!

i see john wawro has a piece on the GR website about rogers communication wanting more games in toronto. possibly up to 4!.. i think that sucks, i want the whole thing to come to an end!.. no games up there.

fair point.. i have heard schoop has been getting on the sabres , and i like that, but the fan polls( the reason i mention it is for the purpose to illustrate how gr ignores the sabres failings) tips the hand as to how gr is controlled by the sabres. as.. an aside to bills vet: i am not a "goober".. you may be missing a gist here.. try absorbing it rather than resort to the predictable, nauseating, judgmental name calling on here..

i really dont listen due to living out of town, i could obviously, but what triggered my response was the originator of the thread's question about the fan poll..the sabres are usually underachieving and they ignore it with inane, predictable bills questions. their lack of hammering the sabres as hard as the bills is what makes me mad.

while agree about them having an anti-bills agenda, their blind eye to the sabres woes is laughable!you can see how they are so afraid of larry quinn , and what he might do to them if they come down hard on their "beloved" sabres. any organization that has kept the same mgmt-coach regime for 13 years , without any great success should be called out !, called out big-time! that is the major problem i have with them, the obvious double standard, when it comes to the bills and sabres.

just a question to die hard, did you know bob tatarek?, i think he played around that time, i believe he was a d-lineman , out of florida, maybe?.. just wanted your thoughts about him.. also, a WR, richard trapp, was around that time? also, from florida, not sure, maybe fla state? did you know these guys?

i agree about donahoe also. he gets a bad rap because he didnt kiss the buffalo press's a$$, plus he missed on gregg williams.

i know polian has roots in buffalo, i think one of his daughters married a buffalo guy, one of his sons coached at U B for a short time. i truly think he has a love for the area and what he accomplished professionally as well. i think he would return without too much convincing, under the right circumstances, which is the key, obviously.

i think the mere fact it is being speculated that kelly wants to buy the team is a positive. think of the alternative!at least we have something to hang our hats on. my only other hope was jeremy jacobs, but you do not hear much from him, but maybe he is working with kelly, who knows. all i know is that there is a reasonable chance they stay, because of kelly.
