I buy none until the team is competitive.

"License fees" for jerseys are shared revenue. But I believe the raw profit from jerseys sold at the Bills store (minus license fee) goes into Ralphs pocket. At least that is my understanding.

I see it exactly the same way, so it's not just you.

Or maybe it is as simple as the Bills brain trust thinking that uniforms are something they actually have the ability to fix.

My guess is given the past 11 years and counting, what else is there to get excited about? or [sarcasm]That was the last piece of the puzzle. Who needs to know how to draft worth a **** when you have new uniforms! We are in the next superbowl for sure now![/sarcasm] I find it remarkable they would waste any time or energy on this. I see it as a slap in the face to loyal Bills fans expecting them to shell out money not just for seasons, but a few hundred more for this new schlock. They have no shame in my opinion. Fix the team first ... you know ... the important thing.

Homeland security huh. Now that's a great use of my tax money. Guess the taliban were planning on watching the superbowl illegally.

Man you guys still don't get this do you. Coaching staffs job to get players prepared to play in a game? Couldn't be more true in a game that means something. Couldn't be more off the mark for a silly little exhibition game like this. What does it matter which team wins? Did you watch (assuming you did) to see hard hitting football or to see the next draft class? It is the same with the scouts, but they also get value watching practice as well as the pretty little no-one-gets-hurt-above-all-else exhibition game. These scouts were pissed because they missed out on what they thought was a good opportunity to see the next draft class work out rather than watching walk throughs. Is this really hard to comprehend? Gailey can do whatever he likes and he did, I really don't give a ****. I was (and am still) explaining why the scouts - you know, the people whose job it is to evaluate players entering the draft - didn't like it and were bitching about it.

Geez. Don't you people get it? No one, particularly scouts, give a flying !@#$ if any team was "prepared to play" or who wins a dumb-ass exhibition game. They wanted to get a good look at the kids coming out in the next draft all together and feel Gailey wasted this opportunity while the other coach did not. That is what they were bitching about. They are scouting the kids, not the coaches. Get it? Move on.

They drafted Spiller last year for "excitement". How's that working out so far?

Sign VY to any contract.

Interesting. So what's the point in having preseason, training camp, or OTAs then? Or last years film for that matter?

i understand your points, and I would agree. Like I said earlier that the Bills are light years behind in coaching as well. As far as "winning" the steelers game goes, any given Sunday and all that. Plus I don't think the Ravens or the Steelers this year are all that. But you can't think that the talent level of the Bills is anywhere near that of either the Jets or Pats do you?

I agree completely except for number 3. The Bills are light years behind both the Jets and Pats in talent (coaching, management, as well as players in my opinion). No one coach could "coach up" that group of players to be competitive with those teams. The fact that it was the Jets scrubs makes that point even more disturbing and shows just how wide the gap currently is.

Being fair is almost always the smart move and amending the contract as you suggest sounds like just that. The Bills really can't afford to "balk" outright. There are far too many needs on this team already to voluntarily create another one. Spiller is not a every down back and Jackson knows that, as does Nix and the fans. After the decade of suck + 1 and counting, the ticket buying Bills fans are on suicide watch as it is already. The Bills can't afford to piss them off any more than they already are. That's Jacksons leverage. I disagree that the Bills hold the cards. If they were a solid team already then yes, but not the way things stand now. No reason for Jackson to pull a VJ or be a dickhead in general. But at the same time the Bills have to recognize their situation as well.

I would if I were him. He is the only real every down back they have. Spiller is, and will probably continue to be, a situational player. Fred is in the position of strength and is not getting any younger so I would be doing the same thing in his shoes. If he makes that move I hope it works out for him.

I only care about who ends up in Buffalo, and to a smaller degree who ends up in the AFC East. It doesn't look to me like the Bills are really in the market for a DC (Wanny as a "consultant", whatever the !@#$ that means, doesn't count).

Wilfork needs to STFU and do his own job better rather than trying to second guess anyone else.

If the player didn't have butterfingers it would have worked easily and the talking heads would have been calling him a genius (again). It was a calculated risk that didn't go his way, but definitely not stupid. And PS ... you suck for making me defend Bellicheat. I need to go rinse my mouth out now

When Bellicheat says keep your mouth shut he means it.

Don't give the Bills management too much credit. Fixed it for you. And in an attempt to get back on topic, I agree with the OP. Jets and Pack in the SB. I think the Pack end up winning it all in a close game. Rodgers >>>>>>>> (MUCH better than) Sanchez

Which is exactly how it should be for all sports stadiums!!!

The stadium is old. From the crumbling pitted concrete everywhere, to the old dingy concession areas, to the 300's bench seating, to the disgusting bathrooms. I have never seen the player facilities but compared to modern stadiums I suspect they are lacking as well. It would be silly to expect a new stadium in Buffalo now with the future ownership in question. The Ralph may not quite be an embarrassment to the NFL, but it is heading that direction.

I am talking WAY beyond this incident. Rex has spent his entire career being a media whore by shooting his mouth off. As much as I dislike the Pats I hope Marcia and the boys send Rex home with his tail between his legs this weekend.

Brady is on no pedestal with me. I hate the SOB. He is one of, if not the, best ever. But I still can't stand him. But Rex Ryan complaining about someone shooting their mouth off is absurd and is very much the pot calling the kettle black.
