When was that again? And are you sure it wasn't an echo?
Really? That never happened either, huh?
Anyway, it may be an echo---Wilson repeats it every now and then. But even Chuck Schumer is having trouble getting behind it at this point. He must read Forbes.

I know you mean that sarcastically, but it is not completely wrong. There is no conspiracy, but there is an often unreflective reflex action to consider Buffalo a basket case because of its geographic location and recent team history, and not to consider that many areas once considered permanent growth sites (such as Florida, or CA, or even Las Vegas) may actually suffer more from current economic conditions.
It's considered a "basket case" ONLY because of the state of the team for the past ten years. As for CA and Vegas--you would have to search for many hours to find a publication that has NOT written or commented about the financial disaster that has visited both places.

PFT just reported that tampa has been buying up unsold tickets at 34 cents on a dollar to ensure the game is not blacked out. it also points to a troubled economy in that area. when i see and hear this stuff, i always wonder why the bills are mentioned continuously as being in "trouble". i know of all the drawbacks regarding their "alleged"viabilty in WNY so spare me that, but why arent more teams being mentioned as prominently and as often as the bills are in regard to stability?
The one you hear repeating the Bills are in "trouble" is Mr. Wilson.

Either way, something just makes me think he won't want to play in buffalo, maybe he "elways" us, maybe he "eli's" us, but I dont think he will be a Bill.
If he's not a Bill next year, then it will more likely be because either he's as great as soem say and he goes before we select or, perhaps more likely, his modest stats to this point reflect a mediocre QB. His performance this year will be scrutinized intensely. He could fall into oblivion like Brohm.

I am assuming there will be a rookie wage scale next yr.
Doesn't matter. Even of there is, his contract in the NFL would dwarf any MLB contract he would get. Andhe would be in the NFL, not some Single A League.

Jesus Christ, get over it. This attitude is breeding a massive inferiority complex. The only way to stop the talk is to put together a solid football program. Until then, sit back and accept that, as much as you might not like it, they're right.
Thank you, Leonidas.
Why this stuff should bother anybody is nuts. Who cares? If the Bills "shock the world", they will all jump on the wagon. Again, so what?
-
Might be too early to tell. What has it been, one year? The Broncos won one more game than the Bears last season and spent a first-round pick on a quarterback. At what point do the Bears win the trade? A playoff appearance? A Super Bowl win? Five Super Bowl wins? They upgraded at quarterback, and they feel they got a franchise player. That's the name of the game.
Ba boom!
This says it all.
-
Don't get me wrong I can't wait to watch Spiller play, but "jumped off the screen this weekend" is a major overstatement. I think he should say he's sorry for saying that.
I agree. Where does this statement come from?? One nice run.
So he's going to be a leader in rushing yards, catch over 50 passes AND return kicks?
-
Sure, the Bills suck and people laugh at them... but someone needs to ask Ditka about his career record against the Bills.
He has been a tool about the Bills ever since they schooled the Bears in 1991.
If you asked Ditka about such ancient history, he would probably raise you the finger with the SB ring on it.
-
Guess he couldn't find a team with players as fast, smart and strong as he is.

Similar article in the post Saturday.
Who is our DC again? Who was he DC for before?
-
You guys really thought the line played poorly against Washington? I thought they did pretty well. They ran the ball well and pass protected Ok with 3 starters out of the lineup.
I wouldn't pass judgement on the line until Bell, Wood, and Green are starting then you guys can harp on it.
Really? That's the difference maker?
-
I wasnt parsing his performance for a "scrap of promise," rather I was trying to show evidence in his very limited performance in the game to support an intuitive feeling I have about the kid.
Im not desperate of panicking, I just realize that none of our trio has what it takes.
It looks to me that Levi might be legit, he has the most swagger of any QB since Flutie, who was the last QB of this team that I really liked.
Trent is not a real football player, he is a golfer (like me).
Fitz has the heart but not enough talent.
Brohm is Maverick after Goose died.
Where did you see this swagger?
-
Maybin appears to be taking the next step, I'll go with Maybin
Late hits don't count.
Gailey "practicing drawing the defense off sides on 4th down" shows that he has one sack--but it's empty.
-
Luck won't be coming out. Let's see what Locker does this year. Remember--Losman and Brohm were both both highly touted after their junior years......
-
On a team full of losers at the QB position, it's pretty natural that the unknown quantity becomes the popular choice. That said, we don't really know anything about Levi Brown. There were plenty of people saying pretty much these exact same things about Trent when Losman was the loser-du-jour.
Of course, if Levi ever does get a chance to start a few games and performs poorly, then he's the next whipping boy. And the beat goes on.
Exactly. If people are parsing Brown's performance for some tiny scrap of promise, this is a sign of extreme desperation and panic.
Relax people.

read the article....his lawyers didn't want him to accept a plea deal...kept telling him he should fight the charges
Then that should tell you that everyone;DA, defense, thought the likelihood of a conviction of a more serious charge was very unlikely.
Hence, this had little to do with his "money".
-
That was a highly subjective "blow to the head" hit. The instant replay sucked..imagine that. But, if he hit McNabb on the head it was with his pinikie. It wasn't a late it.
What get me about Maybin is that he's one of the few guys actually trying to make a play; showing emotion; actually caring about winning; yet so many people are so ready to bash him. While, on the other hand, Trent who looks like he could care less about winning; walks around like he can't wait to get home and watch some TV; is given all the slack in the world.
It was a late hit, not a blow to the head.
-
He has 16 yards. He should just retire and wait for the call from Canton.
-
Give me a break. I won't waste my time reading that. Between the family and his lawyers, they all agreed he was guilty and knew an agreement would cut his sentence and put him back on the field to make more money because I'm sure, either throw a legal agreement or on the side, he paid that family.
Meanwhile, if it were me, I'd be rotting in jail right now thanks to a horrible defense from some careless public defender because I couldn't afford that type of legal counsel.
Did he pay the prosecutor? How did it work? Did his million dollar defense team perform some form of voo doo charm on the DA to get him to offer the plea deal? And did they use the same magic on the family (who was going to get millions in an inevitable civil verdict agains Stallworth anyway)?
Help me out here fellas.
-
If Gailey plays our starting O-linemen against Indy and if Trent still sucks as bad as this game, then I might be all for Levi taking over. Can he do any worse? It's probable he could learn and get better than Trent. At this point almost anyone could do better than Trent. We'll see what he can do next game.
Other than Wood, our "missing starters" were Bell and Green. What are you expecting to change with those two suspects in there?
-
Yep, while we are at it, that Spiller kid did not rush for a 100 yards, get rid of him as well. Please folks, let the new guys have a chance to adjust before we start cutting them. I agree he did appear to be lost at times, but I did see some pretty good hustle from him.
Well, we did read here that Spiller could score any time he touched the ball.....
-
I hate that we took an A** whoopin like that too , but listen to some of what was said and written on BB.com and BR.com
1) How many starters were out in the first quarter & how many more by the end of that quarter ?
2) IT'S THE FIRST PRESEASON GAME !! CHILL
3) I read that the defense was very basic , add to that the starters that were out on that side of the ball !!
4) the change of schemes both offense & defense .
5) rookies in play don't forget
6) IT'S THE FIRST PRESEASON GAME !!!! CHILL OUT --- DRINK TWELVE BEERS BEFORE THE NEXT GAME YOU'LL BE OUT BY THE 3RD PLAY & WE DON'T HAVE TO LISTEN TO YOU WINE !!!!!!
The first team O was into the 2nd Q, wasn't it?
As for J Bell, how many RBs do people think we will keep on the roster?

Come on! After the 2006 CBA Ralph was saying that the small market teams ("Buffalo" as far as he was concerned) would not be able to compete or thrive because of the agreement. Had was meeting with Pataki, Schumer, local pols---all of whom repeated the same stuff. You missed that??
But, 4 years (and over 100 million in profit) later the Bills are financially as sound as ever. Pataki's has evaporated and Schumer is busy spending your money on something else you didn't want.
