bills in va

I grew up in Jamestown, played against Shane during 3 school scrimmages at Southwestern. Shane's brother Mike lives down the street from my parents over on Pershing Avenue. Since our school was alot bigger it was our JV team against their varsity. For a small school like Frewsburg they were pretty tough. A friend of mine Tom Sharp was Shane's coach in high school, I know they stay in touch.

Shane Conlan was recently named All Time Great Bill #27. A little low I think for a stud run stuffer from our glory years. I know Shane personally because we plyed high school ball against each other and his brother lives down the street from my parents in Jamestown, NY. We have bumbed into each other a bunch of times, he's a good guy and willing to tell stories and answer questions about the Bills. In a HS game he hit me so hard that I thought a piano had fallen on my head, he absolutely destroyed me. I got up and for a minute thought I was vacationing in Hawaii! Definately my first concussion. He hit another back so hard it made him cry and leave the game. The other players teased him for crying but I didn't, I didn't want to go back in either. Shane still has a large house on lake Chautauqua, speaks at banquets and other community events and will have a few cold ones w/wings around town. I have never heard a bad thing said about Shane Conlan and don't want to, he's an outstanding family man and proud former Buffalo Bill. One thing though, Shane has the Biggest Head I've ever seen, size of a large watermellon. He has shoulders that won't pass through a doorway and legs the size of a flamingo's. But the S.O.B could hit! With all the B.S. negative spew on most boards I wanted to say something nice about one of our finest Bills ever. Please add some similar stories about "Hammerhead", negative posters resist the urge to badmouth Shane.

The BIGGEST team needs were Quarterback and Left Tackle. All your gibberish left out those two critical positions. The team has so many holes that yes-no matter who they took filled some, just not the ones most important to success.

Gailey and Spiller are "right with this team"? What-T-F have they done? The original post is mostly negative-true, but what reason does any Bills fan have to be positive about? 10 years no playoffs, another odd draft where needs are not addressed, games played out of country, quarterbacks who all suck. I am a die-hard Bills loving fan but until they win they deserve all the crap people write about them. For too many of you the truth hurts!

Next 4 Superbowls: Bills vs. Giants Bills vs. Redskins Bills vs. Dallas Bills vs. Dallas We win 4 straight! Karma is a B word!

WRONG!!!!!!!!Colts were dead last aginst the run last year and went to the Superbowl..Think before you speak.

Hey Artie. Go get the knife in the kitchen and go at it. What the F is your point? We have sucked for 10 years now so what do you expect?

THE BUFFALO BILLS WILLS #^*+ING THE JILLS

THE BILLS WILLS!

I said yesterday that Nix would NOT go LT with #9. His drafting philosophy is to take O-Lineman in later rounds. His first pick ever was Tomilson and he did it again with Spiller. Even if Williams or Okung were available, Spiller was his guy. He wants excitement and to sell tickets. we already have 2 backs but he zeroed in on Spiller anyway. Now if we trade Lynch for a 3rd and take a Tackle with the extra pick I will be singing his praises. I would love for them to take either Clausen or McCoy tonight; trade Lynch to provide us 2 thirds where we take 2 tackles it would be one hell-of-a draft no matter what we do Saturday. There is a chance we could get Spiller, Clausen, 2 Tackles, OLB, WR and OG before its all over.

Edwards + ___________(anyone)=failure!

Spiller is electrifying. But when they called his name I screamed. We do not need a RB, we have 2 good ones. We need help on the OLine, DLine, and QB. I gues their strategy is best player available. Look for them to take a safety tonight!

First pick of the Nix era sucks!!!!!We don't need a RB, what about a tackle to block for him and a QB to throw to him?

BIG NEWS! I have heard the same thing for 6 months. LT or best available. Tell me something I DON'T know. Pittsburg is not taking Tebow either, unless Big Ben is traded. They need a CB and love Pouncey in round 1.

I have been hoping for 2 years that we fix our LT position, and now we have holes at both tackles. As much as I would love to hear Brian Bulaga's name called tonight, I don't see that happening. The more I discover about Nix, the more I fear that he will NEVER draft a LT that high. His history says that we will get either Derrick Morgan, Spiller (if we trade Lynch), McCain (if they feel Schobel's done) or Clausen (if available). Nix does not value OL in round 1 of the draft, he believes you can be competent up front by drafting them in later rounds. I see us taking LT in round 3-4. He will load up on OLB, NT, QB,RB if history repeats itself. Tebow...no way. It is a misinformation ploy. No team covets a player that much prior to the draft or they lose any leverage or bargaining ability. Between Nix loving him and Kelly wine and dining him it screams to me ... no Tebow.

Williams is good but has played mainly DT not NT. You can get Troupe in round 3-4 and be almost as good. Nix won't pull the trigger on LT that early. It will either be Morgan or Clausen, if he's there.

Brace yourself folks...Nix NEVER drafts O-Lineman (in round 1). He will either take Morgan, Spiller or Clausen. All his Tebow talk is misinformation. Kelly taking him out to dinner...misinformation. Either they really want Clausen or McCoy. I don't think they go OT until round 3-4. I would be ok with either Clausen or Morgan, Spiller if they trade Lynch. I wish they would go LT and have been saying that for 2 years, but Nix has NEVER drafted a LT in round 1.

Bulaga a right tackle? Don't think so. Watching him I see Jake Long and so do alot of other people. Are you blinded by the "short arms" arguement? His arms are at the lower end of ideal, but not too short to play LT. He is an excellent tactician, always in great position, never misses his assignments, is mean, blue-collar, nasty and is a great fit at LT for the Bills. I don't know how you can be so dismissive about one of the best LT's in the draft. AND he is better, by a mile, than any LT we have. If Brian Bulaga is there at 9, we need to take him.

THE YANKEES!

A 10 year domination in the division. That would be too good to be true. But we both know what will happen....As soon as we start to be competitive Ralph will die and the team will move. That is the luck of a Bills fan.

Couldn't agree more. He hangs out with Lavar Arrington down here in Virginia and thinks he's all that in our gym. I got news for him, he can't hold Lavar's jock strap! I have been a fan for 30 years and would usually jump at the chance to rap with a player at the gym, but not Maybin. Until he shows he belongs in the NFL I got nothing for him. He struts around the gym, hitting on chicks saying "look at me everybody". Until he shows some game he is the biggest bust of the decade. Being a die-hard fan I hope he proves everybody wrong and explodes onto the scene w/tons of sacks this year, but his attitude still sucks, believe me I have seen it first hand.

Not to be disrespectful but that picture looks a bit fem. Is this a joke or somebody we are supposed to know? Is it Trent Edwards boyfriend maybe? Don't get it.

MCCLAIN! I guess you want to bench Poz or Davis or Mitchell. We need a ILB with our ninth pick like a hole in the head. What do you base this on? He is a reach in the top 10. If we go LB then make it an outside rush LB. MCCLAIN? C'mon now.

Too funny! I say we all piss on the front door and make that the new team color. Reminds me of attending a game in early 90's when the K-Gun was kickin butt and taking names. I came back home with a bunch of Skins fans to see the game. It was December and snowy and the Skins players were being pelted with snowballs. I told my friends NOT to wear their Redskins jackets in the stadium but they didn't listen. Next thing you know a monster snowball (filled with piss) hit my buddy in the back of the head and splashed on several of us. Fans were plastered and being kicked out often for throwing snowballs at refs, opposing fans and players. We beat the Skins that day but my buddy never got the piss smell out of his jacket. Fond memories of Rich Stadium.
