  1. I agree. The formation that the Bills used against the Colts where three backs were in the backfield together and TE threw a 70 yd bomb to Evans was awesome! No matter where Spiller is on the depth chart, he will be involved in the Bills offense this year. Gailey has all sorts of plays that involve Spiller. Should be more intersting than last year. Stay realistic however. It will be amazing if the Bils go 8-8.
  2. No offense but the MNF guys are spot on. The Bills suck, and have for 10 years! Every AFC East team looks at the Bills and says "two wins there". This is going to be a long year. Franchise QB pick for 11, here we come!
  3. Sully is a Pats fan from Boston who works in Buffalo covering the Bills and whatever else he is assigned to cover. He does not have an emotional investment in the Bills or Buffalo. What he says is spot on hovever. Our QB position is horrible. A 2-14 season would be rock bottom (I know, I was at an 1985 Bills-Pats game), but we would be able to draft a franchise QB. Sometimes you have to be really bad in order to become very good.
  4. Thats what I was thinking. It was funny to watch Hainesworth on the NFL Network failing his conditioning test and watching the look on his face. Shanahan will have the Skins ready for opening day (for a change).
  5. I agree. My first thought after reading the TE as starter news was I hope that this works. Seriously. I hope that this works. We seem to have better coaching than last year. We have a few weapons on offence. Is Sipller is a playmaker, we will have some excitement to watch on Offence. It all depends on the O-line again.
  6. If they pick this up, I would laugh also! All joking aside, I have two concerns about Brady: 1. We thought that Bledsoe would be the savior from NE and that didn't work out so well. 2. Brady is getting old. How long would he last with our offensive line?
  7. Agree completly. Espically in the winter. This offense should be much better than anything we have seen from Dick Jaron.
  8. That was one of my all-time favorite games. Both teams went back and forth, and the best part was that the Dolphins LOST!!!! It was a shame that the Chargers lost to the Bengals the next week.
  9. Ringo took the Bills to the 1966 AFL Championship game, where they were toasted at home by the Chiefs. Since Ringo has one winning season, and formed the Orange Crush defense for the Broncos, I would place Bullough ahead of Ringo. Ralph Wilson knows how to pick his Head Coaches, doesen't he
  10. No. That was John Rauch, the former Raider's coach. Harvey was a coach/scout for RW who didn't want the Head Coach job. Harvey was a terrible coach, probably one of the worst ever.
  11. Funny movie. I remember taking my wife to the Transit Drive In in Lockport to see the movie. OJ was not the best actor in the world, but he knew his limits. OJ had the world in the palm of his hand until the murders. The man was a childhood hero of mine, but when I see him now, I am filled with discust for the man. At least he is in the Las Vegas Hilton (local joke for the North Las Vegas jail). Or he may be in a Nevada State jail. It doesen't matter, as long as he stays in jail.
  12. Agreed. I thought of Mike Williams also. Maybin may turn out ok. Bruce Smith stunk his first season in the NFL. I am not comparing Maybin to Burce.... no comparision! My point is that we have to see Maybin play this season before we can call him a bust or not.
  13. The Ravens do an excellent job with their three headed attack. For the run, run, and run some more to work, the OL needs to drastically improve from last year. When I was a kid, the Bills used a run based attack with OJ Simpson, Jim , and some other guy (forget the name). Joe Ferguson had Bob Chandler and JD Hill to throw to if needed. The Bills have Lee Evans and ???
  14. It reminds me of how much we all hated the Fish when Don Shula was coach. Espically during the 70's. I still dislike the Dolphins more than the Pats. It is not Bill Bellicheck's fault that the Bills cannot compete against the Patriots. Every team has an equal shot to pick great players on draft day. They picked Tom Brady, we picked JP Lossman. Need I say more? Ok everyone, flame away!
  15. This topic will never die. It's a shame because anyone who has spent any amount of time on this board knows that Jim Kelly is talking about the weak, sufer mindset of a lot of the warm weather qb's, espically Rob (china-doll) Johnson, JP (loss,man) Lossman, and Trent (Capt. Checkdown) Edwards. Hopefully TE can break the curse of warm weather qb's with the Bills.
  16. Excellent point! The Bills are snakebit (Wide Right, Home Run Throwback, OJ in the 1990's). They are also horribly mismanaged. Of course, one could argue that the mismanagement at One Bills Drive is part of why the Bills are inept.
  17. While I think that this Bills team could be one of the worst Bills teams ever, I am encouraged by what Nix and Galley say and do. Reading the quotes from the players talking about how the Bills resemble a pro team now (workouts, squats, endurance training, an actual plan) makes me encouraged about the future. The Bills have talent, but the players have to perform.
  18. I remember Smith tearing through a team's defense and taking down the QB with ONE ARM while being tackled/blocked by the opposing teams defense. Something you don't see today.
  19. Excellent point! Most cities that can support the NFL have a team in place. LA has a history of not supporting the NFL, and the Raiders have rights to LA. That leaves San Antonio, which can easily support the NFL. However, San Antonio already has the NBA, MLB, and college teams in place. Would they support the crap that Mr. Wilson gives us? That is the question.
  20. I agree with you all that all the great Bills teams had a team concept. However, in order to bring in the talent to win, the Bills have often had a coach or one superstar player in which to build around ( your Kellys, OJ's, Knox's, Saban's, ect). Hopefully the Nix/Galley combo will be able to accomplish this. It makes me sick to my stomach to think that we have gone ten years without a playoff game!
  21. 6-10? I think they will go 2-14; no better than 5-11. We will be in a great position to obain a starting qb with next year's draft. Take heart Bills fans. We are rebuilding again, but this time we have football minds at the helm. Let's see what happens...
  22. Agree completly. The Bills are rebuilding, and the time for step #6 is for future seasons.
  23. The fact that this post is up to 38 pages means that TT gives everyone a strong opinion one way or another. Don't be suprised if the Bills make a run for this guy. Remember that RW looks to draft the person that will sell tickets before everything else.
