NO and NO

when I hear the names McCargo, Wilson, Ellis & Wendling playing late into the game - - and - they can't make plays - - that's scary! Aren't these our back-ups?
-
this is a very good thread - - - great observations. Frankly, I don't know what this staff and management are thinking so I can't answer. When you are asking about Wendling, Simpson & Wilson it's laughable. And, I'm not laughing at YOU!

I'll believe it when I see it. A broken foot when you're 350# is not a good thing to have.
sort of like McCargo who had surgery twice on his foot/ankle and never has done a darn thing.
-
Nothing ventured, nothing gained.
agreed - just like Wil James, Tutan Reyes, Matt Bowen, Jason Webster etc. Why not save that money to go after a top tier free agent who doesn't have a history of failing like these guys? It's dumb.

Ralph made $39.5m in operating profit and approximately $26m in unrealized gains last year according to Forbes. And he can't afford a real GM and Coach?
did anyone ever say ralph is a dummy! he won't change anything until ticket sales drop off - - why should he?

I told you so, after the season opener. I am so sick of the g*ddamn negativity on this board, in the media, etc. because of a few pre-season games. Have they looked bad? Of course. But I've been watching football long enough to know that the pre-season is not always a perfect indicator as to how a team is going to show up and play in Week 1. If they march down the field and score a TD in their first drive, then all of this time you people have spent whining and complaining will have been for naught. I live in Denver- do you have any idea how bad the Broncos are going to suck this year? Everyone says on here, "we'll lucky to win five games this year." Then how many are the Broncos going to win? Our talent level is so ridiculously superior to theirs. But I digress. I'm not predicting a victory in Week 1, but I am predicting that the offense will look a lot better than it has in the stupid pre-season and we will put up a hell of a fight on national TV. Now all I wanna know is, who's comin with me...
i do disagree with the statement about the Bills talent level - I think compared to play-off teams we are pretty weak. BUT - I've followed the team for all 50 years and of course I'm coming with you!

The ratings are so low for Versus that sponsors are falling like dead flies. They have requested 'premium' money from Direct TV which is crazy. I love hockey, you love hockey - - but - -the nation doesn't watch hockey on TV.
-
when you have an entirely re-structured OL and the same mediocre players on the D-L and a QB who hasn't proved a thing in the NFL - - - let's hope it's more fire than smoke.
-
he was the 5th or 6th TE on the PATS depth chart. According to the paper today DJ said they "kinda liked him" coming out of college. With Fine injured they probably need him for Thursday's game.
-
ralph doesn't make any changes unless things hit rock bottom. 7-9 with 'potential' and seats selling in enough for him right now. And, he's scared after the Tom D experiment where he felt left out of the day to day decisions.
-
Pat Thomas was a stiff from day one. The Bills were his 3rd NFL team in 3 years. Why do we waste time and money on players like this?
-
I can't imagine the mood here and for Bills fans in general. I guess it depends on how long are starters play. If its all our backups then it doesn't matter I suppose. I would think that they would want our first team offense out there for as long as possible just to get some positive attitude going.
I just can't imagine that happening. It's almost like the Bills scheduled this game for the final pre-season game at home so things would look good! If it does I can't imagine DJ not being on a tight, tight rope by who ever is in charge these days!
-
You're probably right - or very close. And, that makes me sad. Too many names that have failed in the past are still on the team. Honestly, we have a very weak overall roster compared to teams that make the play-offs.
-
My Dad and I always had to watch the Cleveland Browns games on Sunday's - - that's all there was on TV. Then, the Bills came to town - my town in East Aurora - and we went to see them practice at the Knox Polo fields. When I saw great big guys sweating, knocking people around and fighting in practice I was hooked. It was a rough, tough mans game and these guys were actually getting paid to play football. I've been hooked ever since - - it's an addiction and I love it!

I am not saying anything 1 way or the other, but I find it interesting that our Starting Offense after tomorrow's game may have gone the entire Preseason without playing 1 series together.
Sure, most were there in the Hall of Fame Game, but Butler was still missing from the lineup. T.O. hasn't been there every game since and after tomorrow, it looks like the entire offense would not have played 1 series together the entire Preseason. Based on what Jauron has been saying, it looks like many, if not all starters will not be playing much, if at all.
It may be nothing in the grand scheme of things, but for this team with all the new parts, especially on offense, not having 1 series together, it is definitely worth noting.
I would bet there were very few regular season games last year where the 'first team offense' was together. Peters hold-out, Peters injury at the end of the year, Lynch injured, Trent injured, Preston for Fowler etc. Some teams can make it through that stuff - - maybe a lot do - - but - the Bills really have a weak overall starting roster and getting to the 2nd string is a disaster!

I tried to deal with WGR last year regarding some promotional items they wanted to "purchase". It turned out by "purchase" they really meant trading. If the got 10,000 license plate holders with WGR 55 Sports imprinted on them they'd give my company X amount of free commercials. The station really has no legitimate sponsors during the 3-7 PM period. Everything is a trade - back doctors, physical fitness equipment etc. The 'personalities' can make extra money by setting up live, remote broadcasts. We're talking $200 bucks or so at best. It's a very cheap operation. If they didn't have the Sabre games they might just revert to a music or political talk station!
-
Not only the show but just check the content.
I agree. We had it made not knowing the Empire Sports network would crash and burn with Adelphia. We also had another radio station that did all sports to compete with WGR. It was actually during an Adelphia press conference that was carried on radio locally in which the whole question of unsecured loans became public. That started the fall.
Thanks for sharing this!

As long as we sound crazy, TO. But really, one of the WRs or CBs we have and maybe Ko Simpson. He is expendable.
I think Ko must go. He just hasn't proved to be a quality NFL safety even with his experience.

Lou Saban was a unique (eccentric) individual. To say that he was peripatetic is an understatement. He was not able to control the volcanic eruptions of his emotions. In hindsight, it was not so much that he quit on the Bills, so much as his querky personality compelled him to move on when he got frustrated. He must have had at least 25 different jobs and 25 different moves in his career. I could understand why Ralph Wilson at first resented Lou Saban walking away from the Bills, but taking a long term view it is obvious that Lou Saban was just DIFFERENT.
Lou Saban and Cookie Gilchrist were instrumental in the Bills winning a couple of championships in the AFL. The right thing to do is to honor their service to this losing organization, even if it included some controversies. But Ralph Wilson is the type of person to hold grudges. He is very petty and doesn't tolerate anyone challenging him, especially if there is an issue over money. No one who has followed the team should be surprised at how Ralph has behaved toward his former employeees.
Jim Kelly was of course a former employee. I often wonder why he seems to feel he has an inside track in regards to buying the Bills and keeping them in Buffalo. Maybe Ralph made him a promise?

and - when you see your 'wall' that's going to protect you being pushed backward and big holes developing - - it's only common sense to get out of dodge!
-
Does anyone know how many seats are left for the final 2 home games in Dec & January. I know several ticket sellers and travel agents in the NE area are already advertising seats and trips to the Ralph in Dec!
-
It's about time that we saw another Jauron thread, it's been at least what? 4 hours?
Well - when you think about it he is the TOPIC! They're not going to fire all the players or Modrak or Brandon - - so - - -
DJ seems to be a good organizer but with less than NFL quality players all over the roster and a weak coaching staff - - that's not enough. GO BILLS!
-
Im not as nice anymore im sick of losing this team need major help
I think it has to be torn apart from the top down right through the roster. I'm sick of re-building when the foundation of the organization is in bad shape.

Wendling is a big zero. I remember that video of him jumping - so what? When you have him, Wilson and Simpson in the safety positions who know things are rough!
