Phil Hansen Forever

He is listed, just farther down.

My wife and I drove from Minnesota to see a game back in 05. The lot was across from the main gate, don't remember which one. We paid for a lot parking spot, but drove around for over a hour (1 HOUR) before some guy finally moved his bbq grill, 16 chairs, two beer kegs, and whatever else he had in five parking spots to let us in. We should have just moved on. After the game, our car was covered in puke, broken beer bottles were everywhere, but thankfully we didn't blow a tire driving over them. The yard cops just laughed at the sight of our car and told us next time to take the bus. They made disparaging comments about being dumb enough to come to the game and park in Bills Nation and being a fan of the opposing team. First, my car has numerous Bills bumper stickers, and 2nd the Bills were playing the Fish at home. I wrote the Bills organization and got a canned response about how they support tailgaters and to thank us for driving 800 miles to the game. We have since gone to KC for another Bills game, of course we were here at the Dome when Bledsoe and company came here to play, and nobody treated us as poorly as the Bills Fans at home. We swore off ever attending another Bills game unless we do take a bus and get prime seats. We also got puked on from above by some drunk kid not old enough to shave yet. It was a memorable game.

I must have survived a hundred strokes and heart attacks since becoming a Bills fan back in '65. We must be more resilient than that old geezer. We're used to losing pathetic games.

Some people have no moral compass and it will never bother them. Others it will tear them up in time. Previous Brady statements appear to indicate he is of the former category, he will likely go to his grave thinking he was smarter than the rest of the world. Very narcissistic personality disorder.

Before the game, the announcers clearly stated that Miami will be at 5-5 after the game. NFL Network is by itself supposed to be non-biased, but it they were disparaging the Bills before the game. That changed after McKelvins return. Still, the announcers sucked.

Nice

Perhaps you forgot about Lou Saban. Lou won two Championships. Marv zero

It could be worse, they could let the loosers from American Idol sing.

Exactly!

Exactly. He wanted out of Buffalo and couldn't wait to go to a Superbowl winner.

I'm with you there. Trying to retrain someone who is that old is not going to happen. Let Fitz return to his old ways, at least he had balls and didn't mind airing it out. He looks gunshy and uncoordinated.

From my limited experience at the Ralph, I will say they need bigger restrooms, or troughs. The women wait in line forever, and the men just pee in the sinks. If you visit other stadiums, the restrooms are twice the size and about 1/4 more in number than the Ralph. With all the beer consumed there, you would think they would have huge urinals....

Well, you got me on that one. But his wife is much younger than he is, so that might be the issue. Just transferring the title and allowing his daughter to continue to run the business. Ralph is no idiot. He didn't get to be a near billionaire by not being smart. He had plenty of opportunities over the years to move the team, but chose not too. I don't always agree with his coach selections, and certainly not his miserly ways, but you can't argue with getting great tickets for about $100 under that of other larger/newer stadiums. My wife and I have visited several others over the years, and can never find great seating for under $175 except in Buffalo. He could easily demand a ticket increase and get it, but has chosen not to do that. From all accounts, his daughter is pretty smart and football savy. You never know, but if I were him and wanted to continue the legacy, I would bring family in to keep it going.

Doesn't look like he was too accurate today. Kirwan is never very accurate, but somebody always listens to his diatribe.

I can't agree with that. What if Ralph just gives the team to his daughter who is already an executive within the organization and primed to take over, as if she might be already doing right now? Has anyone even considered that Ralph has outsmarted everyone so far and slipped his daughter in early to learn the business from the ground up?

Offensive line looked great! We scored 28 points and it wasn't a total wipeout like the 51-3 shellacing of the Raiders back when. Just saying, it could have been much worse.

Except you

Thanks Scott! U da man

Marv has a unique ability to draw people to him and bring together a group of people with different backgrounds and desires. He was an amazing mentor to his team, but he rarely ever was able to control them, especially before, during or after the Superbowls. Marv appeared to have no concern about Kelly's drinking and carousing behaviors. Kelly never addressed being counseled about his behavior or any restrictions placed upon him before any of the "Big Games". Look at all the Superbowl winners. Their coaches had bedchecks and strict curfews. They ensured each player was sober before going to bed the night before the game. If Marv was such a great coach, why didn't he force Thurman back in after the fumble instead of letting him weasel out and sit on the bench? Where was the hip pointer after the game? Marv's legacy is that of leadership and mentoring, but his skill in coaching is certainly questionable. He didn't choose the players, Polian did. However, he did lead them back from despair after each loss, to repeat the process. Somewhere he should have addressed the partying and put a stop to it. That is what coaches do, they take responsiblity for their players. Marv failed in that regard.

Scott, are you going to set one up before the season starts, or will we be left to our own devices?

If I see another hidden Peter Pan link, I might puke.

There always has to be a smartass! I was thinking the same thing, cover up Fitz and keep london Fletcher away.
