On the last two plays they rushed 4, one being a LB and dropped Epenesa into coverage and on the TD they only rushed 3. Really bad defensive calls, considering Bills defensive weakness.

He went to Yale you know. Sorry had to be done.

Even if Anderson catches that conversion, the Bills get the ball back with a minute and a half, with two timeouts. Does anyone really think that Josh wouldn’t have driven down the field for a walk off FG?

Back in the day, after the game, the score was added, this place is going to hell in a hand-basket I tell ya!

Confused, he is 28 years old, his 40 time is around 4.5, 6 catches for 60 yards career numbers. I mean is there something I’m missing?

People’s driveways, I remember going to a game with my father, two kids waved him into a driveway and he paid them. After the game, when we got to the car there was a very angry woman on her church clothes waiting for us. I thoroughly enjoyed watching my father apologize profusely.

I miss the parking at the Old Rockpile, oh wait there wasn’t any.

In 1968 the starting QBs were Jack Kemp, who was done and got injured. Dan Darragh, who started the majority of games, coincidentally he played for Marv Levy at William and Mary, he got injured. Next up Tom Flores, who was acquired in the worst trade ever made, injured. Then the aforementioned Kay Stevenson, who they traded a fifth round pick for, also injured. Finally running back Ed Rutkowski who had been cut earlier, because he wasn’t a very good running back, so they brought him back to play quarterback, which he was worse at. The silver lining is that this mess led to the first pick, OJ Simpson, who was a psychopathic murderer, that was good at football.

Those teams were awful. I met Ralph Wilson, nice man, loved talking about the Bills. He was good for the league, but not a great owner. In 1983 Wilson let Chuck Knox walk, starting the Kay Stevenson era. This was the kind of mistake Ralph made too often, he’d revert to the familiar. Stevenson had been a QB with the Bills and then a QB coach, no head coaching experience at any level. Ralph made this kind of mistake consistently, remember when he brought Marv back as GM. This era was also the ushering in of the red helmets, which some of you are so fond of. The reason for the red helmets was idiotic. They thought they would help Ferguson find his receivers, they didn’t. The years that followed were an accident of fate. Ralph hired Terry Bledsoe as GM, Bledsoe hired Bill Polian as head of player personnel, a position that had not existed for the Bills, Ralph was against it. Bledsoe had health issues and wasn’t particularly good at his job, Polian became GM by default and the rest as they say is history.

Anybody else see Sal Maiorana’s prediction for the season? He has the Bills going 12-5, losses to Ravens, okay, the Falcons? Because of their running game. Texans, okay, the Patriots? Because of Vrabel? And finally the Eagles, okay. I just don’t see the Bills losing to the Falcons and I don’t get the love for Vrabel. He had a couple of good years in Tennessee, but nothing special.

Bills preseason schedule is the Giants, Bears, and Bucs
