Metal Man

I see 6 or maybe 7 wins on that schedule though with a lot of improvement across the team by the end of the season. Seems like the team could be really close to breaking through to a winning season but I don't think they are quite over that hump yet.

Right, and Spiller had a tough time getting consistent playing time because of his poor blocking. If he can straighten that out I would expect some improvement out of him in the rest of his game as he sees a lot more time on the field.

I don't remember that one, but to me the king of over reaction was when people were protesting the second Lord of the Rings film in 2002 because the movie studios were obviously trying to capitalize on the 9/11 tragedy by naming the film The Two Towers regardless if that was the actual name of the second novel. No idea where some of these idiots come from.

Troy Polamalu and Ed Reed.

Someone should contact Dexter and have him take a look at this case.

+1 Only problem is they don't have much seating and the place gets mobbed.

I would be willing to bet the Carrier Dome crowd would be a lot more vocal and pro-bills than the Toronto crowd has seemed so far.

The strategy is sound. However I'd like to see verifiable numbers that show giving Toronto those games actually brought in a lot of Canadian Bills fans that had never come to games here before, or a dramatic spike in Bills gear sold in the Toronto area. If those numbers aren't impressive then the competitive advantage they sold away wasn't worth it.

I watched the Pats*/Colts AFC championship game from the 06 season yesterday on ESPN's Greatest NFL Games. Wasn't old school Bills kickin' a55 but it still provided a slight NFL fix. Plus watching the Pats* lose an 18 point lead in a championship game is almost as great as watching the Bills smoke people in the glory days. Almost.

I can't recall ever reading anything about PED testing in golf.... Anyone know if such a thing exists?

Actually I think that Matt Stone hasn't been involved in writing or directing any episodes since at least 2007. Maybe Parker is getting tired of continuing to carry the torch for the show?

With the salary cap and allowable money spent being equal across the boards for all 32 teams it seems to me that the "no draft NFL" would be more about the historically successful franchises than their market size. In other words the top rookies would only want to negotiate with the perennial winners first followed by the more desirable places to live. Obviously those top teams couldn't sign everyone but it would likely mean year after year only the players those winning and geographically desirable teams didn't want would filter down to teams like the Bills. Essentially it would probably be the same as if teams like NE, Pittsburgh, Indy, Dallas, and Miami always had the tops picks and teams like the Bills, Browns, Lions and Bengals were always picking last.

Wasn't that actually Bledsoe he was talking about that day? I was there too and I thought that was the case. Plus IIRC the last new uniform was 2002, a couple years before the Bills drafted JP.

Dave Mathews by a mile for me over everyone listed so far.

Maybe it wouldn't be considered a major motion picture but I am still surprised no one has mentioned Troll 2. I always thought it was the universal standard for a terrible film. 0% on Rotten Tomatoes. For very recent though I thought Avatar was pretty terrible. Cool visuals wore off after about 15 minutes and after that it was a lot of predictable and boring Hollywood movie cliches. One of the few times in my life I fell asleep in the movies too.

It definitely is annoying me a bit right now and I do feel a little of my NFL love slipping away. However like most people said in this thread it won't really start to be evident unless this continues into late August.

The best thing about baseball, and what sets it apart from all other sports for me, is that there is no time kept. Therefore there is no milking a clock and wasting time to slow down another team from scoring to protect your lead. Each team has 27 outs to make something happen and even if you are behind you are still assured at least one more chance to try and come back to win it.

1. Cam Newton QB - Buffalo Bills (not rooting for this) 2. Blaine Gabbert QB - Carolina Panthers 3. Von Miller LB - Denver Broncos 4. Gabe Carimi OT - Miami Dolphins 5. Kyle Rudolph TE - NY Giants

Not at all. I want to avoid these when sober. Restricting your movement is a pain in a55.

Excellent read. Thanks for sharing.

Wow, the gaming experience sure is a lot different today than when I was 13. Now, no way... at 13 though... why not?

Late extended lunch? That is what I am going to try and pull off.

Thanks for the input so far guys. Unlike Chef, suggestions and opinions on things in the area are welcome and appreciated.

It is looking extremely likely that I will be heading to San Diego next month for work and remaining there for most of the time through the rest of 2011. This will take me through the entire 2011 season, if they play it, so I was looking for some information on watching Bills games out there. I have been to the Bills Backers website and the San Diego Bills Backers Club website so I have the basic information. I am looking for some details from people with first hand experiences out there that I can keep in my back pocket until the fall rolls around. I realize this is very early to be looking for this kind of information but the better part of work this week for me has been dealing with the details required for this trip and I can't think of any detail more important than the when/what/where of Bills game viewing.
