'64 Bills

right now - unfortunately - playing for the Bills is a BIG paycheck and a shot at more money elsewhere. That's sad for us all.

I remember watching the '69 Super Bowl while in the Army headed to Vietnam - - when the Jets won a small group of us applauded - - - the other 90% just glared at us. It was good stuff!

I saw the same - - when do WE get a player like that - - right off the draft?

A screen or draw works when the opposition fears your passing game. Nobody fears the Bills passing or offense at all. Why would a screen or draw work when you can't run basic plays?

I applaud your sense of reality - -it is what it is!

I think this could be the MOST important game of the season. IF we don't show toughness and an ability to compete it's done - over. The player's will get that and realize it's not going to happen this season. A very bad message and very bad feeling!

good post - you've said what so many of us think!

I've got a piece of that turf too - - - at the time it seemed a little silly - but - who would know that would be the peak for the entire franchise. Sad but true.

with an embarrassing loss at NE and then any kind of loss in the home opener - - he's done. Brandon will threaten to quit and Ralph will give in - - Brandon's the guy bringing in the money!

lol - great!

I sadly have to agree. I was thinking perhaps 6 wins but after watching preseason it's a real reach.

Alex was a good back-up - -that's it. Turk was a poor back-up - that's it. Just because they played doesn't mean they can teach or coach. They came cheap. Alex never coached anywhere else.

wow - you might be as old as me - - - -Rob Riddick was a guy similar to Fred - - same type of talent but really never given a shot to be the 'guy' at RB!

and to think we held onto him for years and actually had him starting - it makes you wonder?

com on - he was a special case when he signed here - - everyone knew that from day#1. He's put us on the map for the start of the season so give him a lot of rope. GO BILLS!

well - if the Bills finish like they have the past few seasons - -badly - we'll be looking for a new coach and staff.

very true - I just hope they pick-up the pace.

I am hoping you are right. We certainly need something to pick things up - new line or not!

I'm a very old, long-time fan and unfortunately I'm feeling the same. But, maybe instead of hoping so much for a good, respectable year the team will surprise me by thinking they will stink in '09????

Wow - great question. I remember the Bills took the AFC East in '89 with a 9-7 record but I know they won 6 games in the division ( 5 teams back then in the AFC East). So, they won just 3 games otherwise.

Honestly, I believe I fell for Edwards just because he LOOKED so much better than JP in his pocket presence. He's regressed it appears with the same scrambling around and not guarding the ball. UGH!

The only 'expensive' coach Ralph ever hired was Chuck Knox. Basically quit on him because of the way player personnel was handled and the lack of a training facility. $2 mil less for a HC means $2 mil more for the owner!

I really think he'll be gone after a NE blow-out loss and a loss in the home opener - - -Brandon will threaten to quit.

By the 4th or 5th game he'll speak out about the coaching. It will be good for his show.

me too. It's sad but I don't see hope to be competitive. The fans at the games are different too. More interested in the 'party' than watching football. So many of the season tickets sold here go to Travel Agents and ticket sellers across the US. It's a cheap ticket and great for fans who can't get in to see the PATS, STEELER'S, JETS etc. Walk through the parking lot for a 'sold-out' game and you can buy tickets at face or less.
