  1. I don't disagree, Yolo, but "conceding" them a WC spot is ridiculous.
  2. Care to rethink that stance after a 37-0 flogging at the hands of Miamuh? San Diego may have beaten the Bills but they're 5-4 with three losses in a row and not deserving of being conceded anything, especially with Baltimore (A), New England (H), Denver (H), San Francisco (A), & Kansas City (A) still on their docket. GO BILLS!!!
  3. Terry: "I could never in a billion years pull off that look, son..." Kim: "I looooooooooooooved my Chia-Pet as a kid!!!"
  4. "In before the lock"...before the thread is locked by the mods.
  5. Never thought I could feel so good the day after such a demoralizing Bills defeat. Thank you, Patriots*.
  6. It's just 'Skooby' posting with a different user name, dude... 'nuff said.
  7. It's still around. The name was changed years ago to 'Bills Digest'. Chris Brown used to be the editor. Once he stepped down to be the Bills reporter, Mark Ludwiczak took over as editor.
  8. In Richmond, it's the Redskins every week on FOX. If they're home against an AFC opponent, they're on CBS and one the other NFC East teams (DAL, NYG, or PHI) is on FOX. If FOX has the doubleheader, it's Washington & another NFC East team if they have teams playing in both the early & late game. CBS usually shows either the Ravens or Stillers. Personally, I don't care one way or the other as I have the Sunday Ticket and the Bills are the team featured most on MY broadcast TV.
  9. Bingo! The answer to both this and the OP's question is "no". It's the dawn of a new era. Long live El Pegual!
  10. Voted...and bumped. Next. Go Sammy!
  11. Yeah, but none of them scare me or cause me to game plan for them if I'm Jim Schwartz. No Mathews is a big advantage on the Bills side of the ledger, IMO.
  12. Act swiftly & decisively...your window may close in the blink of an eye. Overnight that boy some Bills gear, pronto!
  13. Would they trade him for another RB? In effect, 'switch' players...
  14. Why the hell would anyone start a thread like this after the last two weeks??! Jesus H. Please cease and desist.
  15. Agreed. As an added bonus, they seem to be in Tannehill's head at this point. And, as has been mentioned in another thread, this team appears to have a physicality/mean streak that past teams have not. It's shown in their play thus far. Whaley is building a nice squad that can play with the big boys. I love it. GO BILLS!!!
  16. Unfortunately, Fergy's gimpy ankle was that team's undoing in the playoffs at San Diego. They were poised to knock off that high-powered Dan Fouts-led squad & 'Air Coryell' but fell, 20-14. I really believe that had he been healthy, they would've won that game and gone to the Super Bowl. The Bills' 'Bermuda Triangle' D was absolutely fantastic...SB caliber. One of the most disappointing Bills losses ever.
  17. Bills will squish the Fish Jim Kelly is cancer free El Pegual is king Thanks Mary Wilson Bills fans will be pumped and loud This one is for Ralph
  18. Exactly. As much as I despise Brady, Belicheat, & the Pats*, I just can't muster the hatred for them that I did, do, and always will for the Fish. Those who are too young to remember have no idea how excruciating "0 for the'70s" was for Bills fans. Bizarre calls against the Bills, fluke plays, Shula with that ever-present smug look on his face and the officials in his back pocket. Brutal for a kid such as myself growing up in that era as a diehard Bills fan. I lived and died with every play back then and the feelings only intensified when they played Miami. I wanted to beat them so badly, I could taste it. Instead, it was 20 demoralizing defeats in a row. Some close, some not so close but each one of them an ever increasing bitter pill to swallow. I still remember it like it was yesterday, the day they finally broke the streak. It was September 7, 1980...my younger brother's 14th birthday. The pain had started when I was a 7 year old child and didn't end until I was a little more than a month shy of my 17th birthday. We had moved to Virginia and we couldn't see the game but the whole family was closely watching the 'NBC Ticker' on the screen as our locally televised game progressed. I remember seeing the 17-7 score in favor of the good guys in the 4th quarter and it felt like we would never see "Final" next it. When we did, the house erupted in jubilation. It felt like a two-ton weight had been lifted off of my chest and I think I was actually walking on air at school the next day. Needless to say, my little brother had his best birthday ever. I now have two boys of my own, 12 &14 (same age as my brother at the time of "The Win"). They are both diehard Bills fans (God help them) despite never having lived in WNY and they both despise the Fish. They've heard the stories of agony from me and they understand that hating Miami like no other is a birth right, passed down from father to son. Hate the Pats* for now but when Brady & Belicheat retire and the Beantown Bozos are again an afterthought to their own fans, just remember who will always, wholeheartedly deserve your wrath. The Fish. Some of the most painful losses for me during that streak of futility: 1972 - Orange Bowl, Miami. The Bills lost, 24-23, in what turned out to be the Fins' closest game of their undefeated season. Buffalo led at halftime but couldn't hold on for the victory. The one that got away and could have prevented the ridiculous, yearly ritual of champagne-popping by Mercury Morris and his band of no names. 1974 - Orange Bowl, Miami. Free Safety Tony Greene (one of my favorite Bills of the '70s) had a 105 yard interception return for a TD wiped out on a horrible call by the officials. The Bills lost the game, 35-28, and ultimately the AFC East crown. Miami finished 11-3 and the Bills 9-5 in what turned out to be Buffalo's only playoff appearance of the decade, a Wild Card loss at Pittsburgh. 1979 - Rich Stadium. Club-footed kicker Tom Dempsey (yes, the same Tom Dempsey who set the then NFL record with a 63 yard FG to win a game for the Saints in 1970) missed two FGs, the second a 34 yarder in the final minute of the game which would've given the Bills the victory and ended the streak. There would've been no NFL record "0 for the'70s" and Dempsey would've been a legend in Buffalo folklore. Instead, the miss cost him his job and put an exclamation point on that fateful decade of missed opportunities. So, come Sunday, renew your hatred of the Fish (if you haven't already) or start it rolling for the first time as every self-respecting Bills fan should. Many of us have never forgotten and never will. This is our time... LET'S GO BUFFALO!!! SQUISH THE FISH!!!!!
  19. This was definitely the case last year. I was at the Cincy game and listened to the "real-time" feed in the stadium via WWKB 1520. There is definitely a lag on the WGR 550 feed which makes it too annoying to try and listen & watch. Murph is slow enough as it is on the KB feed. He's unbearable on the WGR feed.
  20. I can. It sucks. From the location to the parking lot (if you can even park there) to the stadium to the over-inflated (even by NFL standards) prices for everything. It's a horrible experience. Not a fan of M&T Bank Stadium in Baltimore either but it's a palace compared to FedEx Field. I'm sure Little Dummy Snyder will get his way and the Washington lemmings will eagerly follow him to his overpriced sea...
  21. Rename it 'Gay Pride'.
  22. Or Hugh G. Wreckshun Maybe the OP meant Holden McGroin?
  23. Seattle 31, Chicago 0 ( with 5:58 to go in the 3rd Quarter) Looks like the Bills have no chance against this finely tuned Chicago team.
  24. I see what you did there. Nicely done. Agreed. I don't think he's automatically gone, especially if Pegs gets the team.
