  1. I think they want to let Brohm start a bunch this year and I think starting Edwards and throwing him to the wolves for a few weeks was a brilliant ploy. If they had started Brohm from day 1 and he struggled, fans would be all over him. But they trot out Edwards for 3-4 gamees to show how truly awful a guy can play even after starting for 3 years. Then they bench him and go with Brohm. The expectations will be lower and hopefully he can get some experience and start to feel comfortable back there as the season goes on.

    I totally agree. I said in training camp that that was the plan all along. It gives the oline time to gel and Brohm more time to learn Chan's offense. If by some miracle Trent would have played well, then he would have stuck with him.

  2. Delilah's, the atmosphere and the crowd are thrilling, like being at Ralph, well the parking lot at the Ralph....Unless your parents are intown, then go to Lincoln Station and have a nice lunch. The steak quesadillas are really good. Btw the best wings in the area are at Southport Lanes. I live in the suburbs now so most of my games are viewed in my family room with my kids suppying the high fives, but for big games I'll still go to Delillah's for the crowd.

  3. Ah..It's week 2 of the preseason. Maybe Chan has a plan. Let's give him the benefit of the doubt until at least week 2 of the regular season, shall we. We are all intrigued by the prospects of Nelson's size and speed at the TE position. I'm going to choose to believe that Chan is trying to coach him up right so that he will develope into a quality long term starter. Maybe Nelson needed a little motivation to work harder on his blocking technique and Chan is giving him a little kick in the arse by starting Stupar. Maybe Stuparman is a gutty hardworking good all around football player who makes the most of his opportunites despite his physical limitations. The Strve Tasker of tight ends if you will. Maybe, maybe not. We'll find out over the next 19 weeks. Should be riveting.

  4. If you were Gailey and you had a young raw talented QB that you felt would be ready around week 4, and you had a young inexperienced O-line that needed some time to learn to play togeather and gel; would you hurry up and rush your young promising QB to start? Or, would you start with one of your other 2 lousy QBs so that they could get their heads beat in while your young guys developed? Chan only has one chance to get this right. If he starts the year off with Brohm or Brown for that mater and they struggle(which they will) going back to Fitz or Trent would be a complete failure, the season would be a debacle and we've wrecked another young QB. He has got to start one of the veterans and hope that the line play improves over the course of the year. If the vet plays well, the season is a success. Most likely however, Trent or Fitz struggles or gets hurt, and Brohm or Brown is more prepared to start. Hopefully they improve over the course of the year and you know if you need to draft a qb or lt in the 1st round next year.

  5. November 4, 1990 at Cleveland. Sat in the dogpound with just a simple Bills cap to show my allegiance. It was a blowout for us and we figured by the middle of the fourth quarter that it would be prudent to head for the bus. As we were leaving we scored on an interception to make it 42-0. We did not have one bit of trouble with any Browns fans. Of course instead of cheering loudly and making asses of ourselves in their stadium we did the golf clap thing and reveled (quietly) in the fact that we had the vastly superior team.

     

     

    I was in the dogpound for that game too. I was in college in Cleveland at the time and my buddies and I had painted G-O-B-I-L-L-S on our chests. Every time the Bills scored we took our shirts off. We dodged a few beer cups and got bitched at a few times but, I got punched in the face by a toothless grandma after we scored that last TD. It was hysterical, what a great time!!

  6. I've talked to some non-Bills fans, and they would rather have their team miss the playoffs for 10 years than lose four straight Super Bowls. I think that's nuts.

     

     

    Well you tell them that you now know what each feels like and 4 strait SB losses wins every time... Oh and I agree with PTR et. al who say that Marv was a mediocre coach who was given a fantastic talent to work with. A great coach whould have won SB 25, and 27. I don't think anyone was beating the skins or the cowboys in 26 & 27.
