[I love the bills but!!!!!!!!!!]

At first, I thought you wrote, "I like Bill's butt" (not that there's anything wrong with that)

That was funny

[I'm sick of living in the past.]

I hear ya too.

Isn't this the ___th year in a row we are complaining about:

 

Lack of intensity.

Bad personell moves.

Bad QB play.

Injuries.

Bad front office.

Bad coaching.

 

The list goes on. I don't see it changing any time soon. We're hoping though.

[OUR LB'S ????]

Sorry if this topic has been discussed recently but...

 

I can't help but worry a bit about our linebackers.

Read somewhere that Barnett is playing outside full time for the first time ever.

Morrison is decent but was never really more than that.

Shep has only a handful of starts in his career.

 

I know our d-line should take some pressure off them but we really need them to make plays for us.

Are they up for it?

 

Thoughts?

[Van Miller]

DO YOU BELIEVE IT ?

[Draft picks at pro bowl]

If we would have drafted Green :

 

Newton, Miller and Dareus would be at the Pro-Bowl.

[Roscoe is healthy...]

5-11 team with Roscoe

 

5-11 team without Roscoe

[Bills needs]

Until I see "New Owner" in there, can't agree with ya.

[State of the Team after the loss]

Love your optimism but that is exactly what we heard every year for the past 10-12 years.

[DID U EVER STOP TO THINK....]

I know we all know that. I guess my point is that none of these things are going to change. Yet every week everyone

keeps complaining about the same types of things.

[DID U EVER STOP TO THINK....]

Everyone seems to want to point out what the problem is with this team.

I was thinking about all the blame placed over the years ----

 

Tom Donahoe

Greg Williams

Rob Johnson

Wade Philips

Mike Mularky

Drew Bledsoe

Derick Dockery

Langston Walker

J.P.Losman

Marv Levy (GM)

Trent Edwards

Marshawn Lynch

Donte Whitner

Paul Posluzney

Jason Peters

Kieth Ellison

Dicki Jouron

CJ Spiller

Demetrius Bell

 

Offensive Coordinators

Defensive Coordinators

Lack of Size

Lack of Speed

Lack of Desire

 

Bad Drafts

Bad Free Agent Pick-ups

Offensive Line

No Pass Rush

Injuries

Payroll

Tough Schedule

Defensive Schemes

Offensive Schemes

And much much more...

 

Did anyone stop to think that we come up with every excuse in the book for this team?

 

WE (meaning the Bills organization) are not getting it done.

It starts with the owner and goes down from there (always).

We blame everyone and everything for our inept play week in week out, year in year out.

We are not a winning FRANCHISE. And we will not be with our current ownership.

[So sick of the coverage, so please correct me if I'm wrong...]

I learned a long time ago: A guy in a suit holding a microphone pretty much talks nonsense.

Don't let it bother you. What people say doesn't matter. We'll keep proving them wrong.

Great win today - we know it.

GO BILLS !!!!

[Bills vs Redskins betting line]

I actually thought the Bills would be closer to 6.5 point favorites, a little surprised to see them at -5. I like the Bills by a comfortable margin this week. I also suspect the defense will get back on track with a few take aways and by tightening up in the redzone and forcing FG's rather than Td's. The extra week of preparation coupled with the Redskins injuries helps the bills out a lot.

 

Bills 23-13. Steve Johnson has a big day.

I kind of think we are who we are on defense. Sometimes we will get those big turnovers, but with the lack of pass rush we can't count on it.

I also think we will win this game comfortably but we shouldn't expect to blow anyone out when we can't shut teams down defensively.

Coming off the bye, we will be ready but expect most games to go down to the wire (like the last five games).

Go Bills !!!!

[Pretty Sick And Tired About Know It All "Media"]

Noticed this in the post game coverage too.

 

"Michael Vick had an interception problem today"... yeah, just like "Tom Brady had an interception problem"

 

Their problem is called THE BUFFALO BILLS!!

 

NICE !!!!!

[When to re-sign Fitz, Stevie, Freddie?]

I hear ya. I have this funny feeling we will sign two of the three. As pumped as I am right now, I can't forget we are still talking about Ralph. I won't even mention the cheap thing, I just never have much faith that he will do the right thing (in this case sign all three). Just my opinion.

[Geek Squad Question]

Cant you just buy a really cheap ticket and enjoy it in person? Some TVs/Computers hook up with HDMI some require a DVI cable (i think thats what it is called..) you can get them at Best Buy or Frys if there is one in the area. I think Target and Walmart carry them also

 

Just can't make it to the game. Thanks for your suggestions though. Very helpful.

[Geek Squad Question]

Hey everyone. I'm going to Cinci but not to the game (no ribbing please). I'm sure the game is blacked out but I have the Sunday ticket. Does anyone know what I need to do to connect my lap top to the TV so we can watch it like that. I don't know what type of TV (I think Sharp - pretty new).

Thanks for the help -- GO BILLS !!

[Thank You]

After I've had time to let everything sink in, I was just thinking : Besides the 3-0 start, besides the great comebacks, beating the Pats and winning a division game, I realized we really have a great bunch of guys to cheer for. Very humble, hard working blue collar types that are perfect for our city. They seem to "get" our passion for football and how we feel about our team. Every single guy on our team shows up and has stepped up so far. No superstars, just football players.

 

Maybe it sounds a little corny but I just want to thank these guys. I know we're not there yet but it sure seems like we're on our way.

[What Do You Need to See to Consider 2011 A Successful Season?]

New ownership.

Like most, I feel like it's hard to get excited with our recent history. We have very little chance to compete consistantly with our current owner. I really like Chan and Buddy so I feel like we can improve but it will be really tough with Ralph calling the shots.

 

I don't usually put a number on it but 8-8 would be wonderful.

[At What Point Do Nix and Gailey Own This Team]

I honestly don't think it really matters, although I agree with what you are saying.

 

Ralph is just gonna ride this thing into the sunset, and call it a day.

 

P.S. NEXT year they will start to address the O-line and that will be another excuse for "patience".

 

ONE THOUSAND PERCENT CORRECT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[TOUGH is a common thread]

If i'm not mistaken, I read a lot of the same things about last years picks. I like that. Not flashy, but guys who are football players that come to play. Don't know how it will play out but it's good to have those types of players.

[Steve Johnson Complaint/Snarky response thread]

Immature and cocky. Got real happy with himself last week. You don't win in the NFL like that. You need to stay hungry.

He doesn't have that in him. I will never like him (see Marshawn Lynch).

[1st and 2nd round shockers....]

It depends on what you mean by where they are "expected" to be drafted.

We never see NFL teams draft boards so we can only go by the goof balls on TV and on line.

And they know about as much as we do.

[I guess the Bills really don't think an O line is necessary..]

they are not reaching , it is refreshing

 

this is at least a two year fix

 

they are doing things the right way

 

 

Well said -- I don't think people realize how many things we need to fix. We are working hard on building this defense right now.

[Dark horse Draft Pick]

He was the best player on the field at the Senior Bowl.

I'm down for whoever is going to MAKE PLAYS for the Bills.

[I have a feeling]

I have a feeling that Buddy Nix (who actually knows how to run a draft) is going to pick someone unexpected (DE, LB or RB) and fans (who actually don't know how to draft) are going to criticise him. Just a hunch.
