  1. the key word in there is "forever". i'm fairly confident that the "first" buyer of the bills from Ralph's estate will be required to keep the bills in buffalo. after that, all bets are off. so hope a young person buys them.
  2. i'm a 28 year, 10 seats season ticket holder. getting old sucks. I like watching at home much better than being at the stadium, although I still enjoy going very much. the most annoying thing at the game is (my age is really showing here) is that everyone now stands up for every single play the entire game. used to be just 3rd and 4th downs. second most annoying thing is trying to get home after the game in gridlock traffic. third most annoying is lack of video replays on every play. then there is always the occasional drunks, fights, profanity, spilled drinks, thrown food, people coming and going in your row, long security lines just to get in, $10 beers and overpriced food, lines at the restrooms, nasty weather, DWI concerns and now no Jills cheerleaders. face it, it's a young man's game, as all my son's and their friends wouldn't miss a minute of the stadium and tailgating experience. man cave, HDTV, surround sound, red zone channel, private restroom, adult beverages, wife in cheerleader outfit...life is good.
  3. Esmonde makes the case for all the small thinkers in life. it takes someone with VISION to build things. someone like Terry & Kim PEGULA SABRES = First Niagara Center = HARORCENTER = facilities used by college and amateur teams in addition to Pro Sports. BILLS = New Waterfront Stadium & Convention Center = ONE SENECA TOWER = facilities used by business, college, high schools and amateur sports.
  4. The social media site Facebook, through one week, has already seen more people having interactions about the (WORLD CUP)tournament than it had for the Sochi Olympics, Super Bowl and Academy Awards combined. http://www.espnfc.us/fifa-world-cup/story/1907511/united-states-portugal-world-cup-match-draws-record-television-ratings
  5. NFL: The 7 Worst Quarterbacks Set to Start in 2014 Read more: http://wallstcheatsheet.com/sports/nfl-the-7-worst-quarterbacks-set-to-start-in-2014.html/?a=viewall#ixzz35AHKmaA4 Spoiler Alert: EJ is not on the list.
  6. what are you waiting for ? are we going to learn something in training camp ? (very very little) maybe the Bills are going to add a Free Agent starter ? (unlikely) there may be only 2 or 3 starting jobs that are actually up for grabs (LG, SS , SLB) this team is already known. it's a playoff team if they had a Franchise QB and they miss the playoffs with EJ.
  7. Soccer is still a long ways behind the "Big 4" in North American sports, but those days may be numbered. According to a recent poll by ESPN, soccer is the second most popular sport among Americans ages 12-24 and the most popular sport among Hispanics. http://www.sbnation.com/soccer/2012/3/3/2842696/soccer-popularity-american-youth-mls
  8. soccer's "OFFSIDES" rule in the NFL would be hilarious.
  9. I'D SAY VEGAS IS A LITTLE MORE IMPARTIAL: Denver Broncos 6/1 Seattle Seahawks 13/2 San Francisco 49ers 17/2 New England Patriots 10/1 Green Bay Packers 14/1 New Orleans Saints 18/1 Chicago Bears 25/1 Indianapolis Colts 25/1 Philadelphia Eagles 30/1 Pittsburgh Steelers 32/1 Cincinnati Bengals 32/1 Detroit Lions 40/1 Baltimore Ravens 40/1 Carolina Panthers 40/1 New York Giants 45/1 Dallas Cowboys 48/1 Arizona Cardinals 50/1 San Diego Chargers 50/1 Kansas City Chiefs 50/1 St Louis Rams 50/1 Atlanta Falcons 52/1 Washington Redskins 55/1 Houston Texans 60/1 Miami Dolphins 65/1 New York Jets 70/1 Cleveland Browns 70/1 Buffalo Bills 75/1 Tampa Bay Buccanneers 75/1 Tennessee Titans 90/1 Minnesota Vikings 120/1 Oakland Raiders 150/1 Jacksonville Jaguars 250/1
  10. let's hope the biggest difference is Sammy doesn't have 10 different QB's throwing him the ball during his career like Moulds did.
  11. that was a Tom Brady reference...you know, a lucky 1 in 1,000 pick. my point is Manuel stunk last year and by my eyes, his upside will take him to mediocre (20th ranked) . based on his weaknesses, odds are very high he will never be a franchise qb. manuel is injury prone, he doesn't know how to slide or protect himself from contact when he runs. he got away with that in college because he was a superior athlete. he's not a superior athlete in the NFL. his accuracy is not good. I hope he proves me wrong.
  12. and there's the example of a 6th round pick turning into an ALL -PRO QB. or there's this list of 1st round QB's taken in the last 5 years (excluding 1st overall): Sanchez Freeman Tebow Locker Gabbert Ponder Tannehill Weeden Griffin Manuel
  13. promising rookie ranked 29th = EJ Manuel retread = thad lewis low upside = jeff tuel very bad situation = buffalo bills
  14. I think it more than fair that any starting QB ranked 25th or worst in QB Rating and Total QBR be on everyones top 10 worst QB list. granted the sample size is small (300 passes), but to me, EJ's upside is maybe 20th best, which isn't good enough.
  15. wishing: EJ actually has a chance: Mario Williams (he has 76 career sacks in 8 seasons and needs to get over 150, which barring injury is doable, bruce played 19 seasons, Mario is a physical freak). Sammy Watkins (i'm caught up in the hype). while a few others are deserving of consideration, absolutely none of the current Bills have a chance.
  16. why do people post positive stuff when they know it will just cause an argument ? (sarcasm) please be Pegula......please be Pegula.....please be Pegula.....
  17. just making the worst list at the single most important position on the team is bad enough.
  18. then he can buy the 38 story One Seneca Tower when it's up for auction after the foreclosure. build a new downtown stadium next to HARBORCENTER and the First Niagara Center. rename the area Pegulaville.
  19. been saying this for awhile..... Pegula is the only one NOT talking. he is the next owner.
  20. Buffalo Bills primed to snap 14-season playoff drought in 2014 http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap2000000357124/article/buffalo-bills-primed-to-snap-14season-playoff-drought-in-2014
  21. "I think we're gonna shock the world this season," Spikes said Monday. "I'm all in." http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap2000000356807/article/brandon-spikes-buffalo-bills-gonna-shock-the-world
  22. Plugging the Holes: AFC East: Buffalo Bills: Offensive line The loss of Mike Pettine might prove to be a massive problem for the Bills next year. Pettine's arrival saw the Bills go from the 27th-ranked defense in DVOA in 2012 to the fourth-ranked defense in DVOA in the 2013 season. (DVOA is Football Outsiders' defense-adjusted value over average metric, explained here.) The unit also lost safety Jairus Byrd, though he only started nine games last year, when Buffalo had the second-ranked pass defense in DVOA. It's on the other side of the ball where the Bills really have a problem. Adding Sammy Watkins and Mike Williams to the wide receiver depth chart should help improve the passing attack, but little was done to improve the running game. Bryce Brown is a talented running back, but talent at the running back position can only take you so far when the interior of your offensive line is incapable of consistently creating running lanes. Second-round pick Cyrus Kouandijo should start at right tackle, but he will improve the pass protection more so than the running game. Fifth-round pick Cyril Richardson and seventh-round pick Seantrel Henderson -- who was an offensive tackle in college -- will compete with veterans Kraig Urbik, Chris Williams and Doug Legursky for starting spots inside. A fully healthy C.J. Spiller, a hungry Brown and a very versatile Watkins should help the Bills revitalize their running game, but they need to get better performances from their interior offensive linemen too. http://insider.espn.go.com/nfl/story/_/id/11003145/biggest-remaining-roster-issues-every-afc-east-team-nfl
