David Walker, RB coach with the Colts, could he be an OC candidate. SU Grad High character guy from Western NY.

I saw the Stratton hit on Lincoln. Except for the Taylor hit on Theismann, I cannot recall a hit that changed a game so profoundly. Stratton completely changed the tenor and momentum of that game and the AFC Championship.

I have a daughter who lives in San Diego, and grew up in Buffalo. Buffalo has better schools, more affordable housing, and a more committed fan base. Coaches can keep a lot more $ in Buffalo than in San Diego. If the weather forecast in San Diego is promising, your tickets go up on stub hub and you head to the beach. Charger's Ownership make Ralph look like a saint.

If CJ got the average # of Carries (19 /gm) of the 9 backs in front of him in the rushing standings, he would have 1400 yards, 7 touchdowns, 58 first downs, and the Bills would be 7-4. Chan must go. He's not using his most effective weapon. When a back is averaging 6.7 ypc, why are you trying innacurate passes on 1-10, 2-10 or 3-5? :-(

My brother in law was his tax accountant, said he was a great human being, gave Rachael Ray her start on TV. RIP

I like the idea of Freddie as a third down, short yardage, red zone back, because it give you the option of the screen to CJ in the slot, which is nearly impossible to defend. Freddie is a better power runner up the gut, and I think he is still a better pass protector than CJ.

Aaron Williams is incompetent as a shutdown corner.

Love this thread, Next thing is going to be that someone appeals to WNY native Goodell to let the Bills bring back Greggo as DC, since he's a defensive genius.

You have to agree that Fred was a stud on a couple of third & shorts in the 4th Qtr, moved the sticks with gutty inside running.

According to Peter King of SI, Hochuli has been running regular testing and training sessions even during the lockout. http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2012/writers/peter_king/09/26/referees-deal/

I will say that FJ probably is better at running over people than CJ. I was at the game Sunday, and was most impressed with CJ. I also think that with Nelson out, when FJ comes back, either he or Spiller in the slot, particularly with some of the run game wrinkles Gailey has devised are going to give DC's around the league a lot of room for thought. FJ and Spiller are both serious YAC threats from the slot.

I wuz there, in a sky box. I couldn't f'n believe that the special teams didn't stay in their lanes. The play was close, My seat was at the Bills 20, and it looked forward to me, but replays tell me that it was SO close even a replay official wouldn't have overturned, (or they would have had to have been airlifted out of the stadium). Not sure why they didn't try to kick it out of bounds or some safe play to prevent a return....

I was there, but would love to again see the game in 1963 in the Rock Pile when Cookie Gilchrist broke the (at the time) pro football record for rushing yards (243) in a game on a field that looked like a mosh pit. How he did it is beyond me, no one else on the field could keep their footing, he just ran over people all day long.

Hampton Inn Geneseo. Easy shot down 20A to the OP. Avoid most of the Thruway hassle

OJ Simpson was a track star (at one time held a world relay record in the 4x200). Bullet Bob Hayes was an Olympic Champion and a deep threat Darrell Green was a track star (10.08 100 m) Deion Sanders was a track star Santana Moss was a track star Elbert Dubenion was a track star Herschel Walker was a track star James Lofton was a track star Willie Gault was a track star CJ Spiller was a track star Brian Moorman was a track star Don Beebe was a track star Jim Brown once ran in a track meet and then played lacrosse at the same day at Syracuse and I believe finished in the top 5 in the AAU decathlon in 1955. There's a decent correlation between track speed and football speed.

There is a swing tackle available, already living in Western NY . Adam Terry Syracuse 6-8 335. Can play both Right & Left Tackle. VERY high Character guy, who if his knees are healthy would be solid depth. He started ahead of Gaither at Baltimore, and was signed when Pears was released by Jax. Worth a try Buddy!

NY State Tax for the high Income folks is .06875. NY has a "pac-man" tax that eliminates your deductions and exemptions above a certain income level. In addition, the visiting teams have to pay NYS Income Tax When they come to Buffalo, but the Bills pay other State Taxes when they travel unless they are NYS Residents for Tax Purposes. So if the Titans or Cowboys (Texas & TN have no state Income Tax) come to Buffalo, NY gets those taxes as well, and the Bills that live year-round in Buffalo, still have to pay their NYS Resident taxes even if they play in a no-income tax state (e.g. Florida, Tennessee, Texas).

Finally a reporter who captured the essence of the Bills, and knows his A** from third base.

The one good thing I see about this thread is that for the first time in at least 5 years, our punter isn't among the top 5 players on the roster, Definite cause for hope for this charter Bills fan who attended his first game in 1960.

Yep & Buddy had a swing tackle who had started in the league, and would be a quality guy in the locker room, and guess What?" "The Tennessee Titans have picked up some depth on their offensive line. Free agent tackle Adam Terry has signed with the Titans, PFT has confirmed. His huge body and long hair and beard have already been spotted on the Titans’ practice field. The 6-foot-8, 335-pound Terry was a second-round pick of the Ravens in 2005 and was an occasional starter from 2006 to 2008. He missed the entire 2009 season and played just two games for the Chargers in 2010." Good Job Buddy the guy lives in Rochester. Front Office = Inept

Adam Terry 6-8 335, Syracuse, Swing Tackle, backup to Jonathan Ogden, Michael Oher, and Jared Gaither is sitting right now in Rochester waiting to pick up the phone. Check back and he was the person that caused Pears to be cut from JAX. He's had two years to recover from microfracture, is a VERY high character guy, leader in the locker room. Pick up the Phone Buddy - he's sitting in your back yard, and would love to play in Upstate New York.

I have a bit of experience in this area. What they are essentially saying is that the Packers bring and leave (and multiply through the spending cycle) that much per capita to the Green Bay Area. This probably includes TV Money, and shared Mdse revenues. Their denominator may be too small, since Green Bay is essentially the State of Wisconsin's NFL franchise, less a few Bear fans in the southern Wisconsin bedroom communities of Chicago. If they are only using the Green bay SMSA, then the denominator is skewing the result. Ralph has a pretty sweet deal, the taxpayers are on the hook for most of his physical plant, and he doesn't live in Buffalo, so any money he takes out doesn't stay in WNY. In addition I wouldn't be surprised if Central Ontario, all the way to the Toronto Metro area is included in the denominator, which adds millions of people to our market size, yet we don't see a lot of dollar benefit from that population. Dallas has huge merchandising and corporate box rentals, and San Diego is the only So. California NFL team, so they benefit from that. These economic impact studies are all subjective, and depend a lot on how you define the market, what multipliers you select, and what you include and don't include.

And probably faster than most of the Offensive Linemen in this league, and they have to do it backwards and in high heels! I would love to see Brady & Sanchez as grease spots on the turf.

The other option is how hard would it be to collapse a pocket if he played center? Do love the wedge buster idea, and have him play either goal line FB or have him line up in an unbalanced jumbo package. Bills better take up a collection for his fines, if he ever hits a QB, he will def get fined by this league.

Another FA not on this list is Adam Terry 6-8 330 Syracuse age 29. 2nd Round of Baltimore in 05. Signed as Jonathan 's Ogden's replacement, but J hung on too long. He was with Colts, Chargers, and Jags last year. Can play LT or RT, and has played TE in a Jumbo Package Started the year McGahee had a career season in Baltimore Believe he's already living in Western NY (?Rochester?) Inexpensive backup/swing tackle and VERY high character guy Worth at least bringing to camp.
