  1. I'm going to college and working out in Michigan. I miss WNY every day I get up. I know I'm going to be out here for a few years (more jobs in my field here than there) but I fully intend to move back eventually. My friends give me **** every day because everything always winds up with me talking about the Bills or Sabres, or something back in NY.

  2. I don't think he's the kind of player who will get all pissy and hold out (a-la CJ-NoK). He just wants to play football.

     

    I don't think he should be paid anywhere near "top RB" money" but then again I don't think anyone should be paid that much money.

     

    That being said, barring injury I think they'll work something out either this offseason or next. I have no idea why everyone is throwing such a fit about him not having a new contract when theres still another season on his current one. If they sign him to a 3-5 year $25mil guaranteed contract now and he goes down by the end of the year, then what?

     

    Pay him when the time comes. He just wants to play ball.

  3. I remember people saying t would always be Rich Stadium, too. Look how that turned out.

     

    Pretty sure it was always Marine Midland Arena as well. And Pilot Field. The only venues that kept their respective names through history seem to be the Aud and the Rockpile.

     

     

    If the naming rights would get a sponsor for major upgrades to the stadium, I have no issue going to Cheerios Stadium to see the Bills.

  4. If Luck was truly a system QB, he'd be sucking this year in a system that just changed. Even with a coaching change and a lot of players that left due to that (as usually happens) he stuck around and is just as good under new coaching as he was previously. I expected his stock to drop off this year as most senior QB's do, especially under new systems, but he is still #1. That says something about how good he is at the game.

  5. Also: See Brees.

     

    As a footnote: Also see Favre.

     

    I have no issue with how Fitz played yesterday. I put the loss more on the defense than the offense. Were his mistakes killers? Yes. But its hard to win when a team puts up 400+ yards against you. Giants put up 414 yesterday. Were we in a position to win? Yes, but it wasn't an easy one. If our D could have made a few more key stops, then Fitz wouldn't have been pressured as much as he was.

  6. That is one thing that Chan brought in from the start: the "winning" attitude. You definitely see that in the player's interviews. They expect to win each game. You can't go into a game and think "well, lets keep this close" or "I think we're going to lose today." If you want to win, you need to plan to win.

  7. It was very loud. But for me, the loudest game I ever remember attending was the Dallas MNF game a few years back. That stadium rocked from the kickoff until the final whistle.

     

     

    I was on the field during pregame of that one... I still get chills thinking of how much energy was in the stadium that night. I can imagine that this one was close.
