You’re right that is what you said, I misread it.

Losman and Rogers were two different draft classes. Losman was 2004 and Rogers was 2005.

That maybe one of the greatest moments in NFL history. Had something gone on prior to Stefon’s eloquent outburst?

“Honey where are my eye clamps? I’ve got to drive up to Tampa to see a guy.”

You have “loosened” your opinion of Brady? I feel like an intervention is necessary. Have you forgotten the misery he heaped on us? We should go Clockwork Orange on you. Clamp you eyes open and force you to watch Brady destroying the Bills over and over again!

I watched last Super Bowl in French.

That could very well put IronMaidenBills in the Hall of Fame.

Ahmad Rashad was a great WR, the Bills inexplicably did not protect him in the 1976 expansion draft, he was selected by the Seahawks. The Seahawks traded him to the Vikings. He is on the Vikings Ring of Honor.

You missed a good game.

I had just graduated from college, was moving to NYC. My father gave me the tickets. I met a girl at Mulligans on Hertel thought I’d impress her by taking her to that game. We had a great time, but like I said I was moving, never saw her again That missed 47 yard field goal at the end happened after midnight, so it was 9/17, George Blanda’s 47th birthday.

I was at that game, sitting in that same end zone.

You don’t think they need a corner?

Now now, there is no reason to go there. There is another thread for bashing the Jets.

?

So the OP states his opinion, then says “Okay…….. let me have it.” Then when people let him have it he bristles, “Guys…….Chill!”. He then goes on to accusing other posters of being “dense”and stupid “Would rather chat with fans with more than one brain cell….” .

Would have been a good nickname. Dufek an UDF from Yale replaced Joe Ferguson in 1984.

And Joe Dufek Ralph took a chance on Buffalo only after a deal to have his franchise in Miami feel through.

Good point We should stop now.

My Battle of Hastings reference.

You know the crazy thing about this is it is only five years removed from the Battle of Hastings. Without the Norman influence on the history of Great Britain, the United States may not even exist. Thus no merger. Yes, Sprint merged with T-Mobile.

Yes that’s what I was thinking of.

1970, I looked it up, I would have guessed 1971, but the Google says 1970

Wasn’t Sammy Baugh their first coach? They were pretty instrumental in the survival of the AFL. First owner didn’t have any money, seems like the only guys in the “Foolish Club” that actually had money were Hunt, Adams and Wilson. Sonny Werblin saved the franchise. Drafting and signing Joe Namath was a big deal and a big f$$k you to the arrogant pricks of the NFL. And winning Super Bowl III was huge. They have had bad ownership ever since, remember what that’s like? As much as I respect Ralph Wilson and what he did for the AFL and the NFL, he was a meddling owner. We are lucky to have the Pegulas.

You’re right Erie County owns current stadium but is transferring ownership to the State. I will edit.

New York State will be the landlord and receive rent. As a former restaurateur I believe I am qualified to explain the flaw in the argument. When opening a restaurant you can buy real estate or lease retail space. Most restaurants lease space. The build out can be done by the landlord, but that cost will be reflected in the rent. Or the restaurateur can pay for it out of pocket. In either case the capital improvements become the property of the landlord. In the case of the stadium the capital improvements paid for by the Pegulas becomes the property of the state. Businesses both large and small are regularly given government assistance. That assistance can be in the form of a loan or a tax abatement. The SBA exists to assist small businesses. Some municipalities have been known to provide zero interest loans to help small businesses that they feel will help gentrify a neighborhood. Large businesses get help all the time, for example when the Grand Hyatt at Grand Central Station was built, the developer received a 40 year $400 million tax abatement on the property.
