  1. It should never have come down to one play. Yes the refs got it wrong and if we get the first down we win the game, but watching the NE and Oakland games a few times a number of questionable calls went in our favor. That is football. We have to address bigger issue than the refs. Issues like run defense, pass defense and corner backs. If we dont fix those out great start will be waisted
  2. I live in Jersey and have been a Giants season ticket holder for 20 years. I also have Bills seasons tickets and make it to the Ralph a few times every season. The Meadowlands use to be pretty tame for the Giants, but it has picked it up the past few years. 95% of the fans are great and love the Giants. The other 5% are the A** you find anywhere. Bust a few chops, give a guy a beer and you will be fine. Tailgating seen is also pretty good. Act like a good house guest and they will welcome you to their home. Enjoy!!
  3. The Bills by the Niagara River. I have visions of many people taking the plung. Here is a future eyewitness sport broadcast http://www.toxicjunction.com/get.asp?i=V3770
  4. Great Question. I moved to NJ 20 plus years ago and started going to Giants game 2 seasons after SBXXV. So Giants are my 2nd team. My house is divided between Bills and Giant fans, so at least half the house know the joys of a SB victory!! When Bills play the Giants, Bills all the way even if it means nothing for Buffalo and playoffs for NY. I have taken a number of Jersey guys to Buffalo and we all agree that there is nothing like Buffalo. No matter what you should always cheer for your home team, unless it’s the NY Jets. Jets and their fans suck!!
  5. This happens the end of every season, by every team in the NFL. Standard operating procedure. As far as Ralph a very good person, who has brought and retained the NFL in WNY. Does he meddle, yes. Is he a good football man. The record speaks for itself. Even during the glory days, the Bills got luck. Bill Polian was already in the organization and Marv was not considered a risky hire at the time. While the Bills will be in Buffalo as long as Ralph is alive; we will never be winners as long as he owns the team.
  6. What would rather have; an 18 game schedule with 2 pre season games or a 16 game schedule with 4 pre season games. As a season ticketholder I pay for two games to watch player that might play in Canada or the arena bowl one day. These are the two options
  7. All for it, with a few conditions of course. 2 game pre-season and start the season Labor Day weekend, if not the weekend before. NFL schedule maker needs to get a lot smarter. More Sept, Oct games in cold weather climate and more Nov, Dec and January games in warm weather or dome stadiums. Don't let the NFLPA fool you. Players hate training camp and it causes a large number of injuries. The 18 game schedule will not add two weeks to the players season. It will reduce 2 weeks of much hated camp. With all of the mini camps and excellent conditioning programs training camp is not needed as it was 20 years ago.
  8. i no longer live in the area, so I am not aware of the local forecast. I have had decent luck there in the past. I just got a notice from the Bills that you can buy passes for lot 1 at their website for $20.
  9. If you can, go to lot 1. But as mentioned if is now pre paid, there is a private lot right beside it. Why lot 1? Pinto Ron's tailgate, considered by many to be the best in the NFL. But please be kind and do not tackle our young children. If you do that in Buffalo bad things will happen to you. Bad Bad things. Enjoy
  10. Ever since Doug Flutie was benched by then Head Coach Ralph Phillips or was it Wade Wilson the Bills have been terrible with string of bad luck and horrendous personal decision. I think we need a new name to help us survive these years of misery. If the NY Rangers can get though chants of "1940" and the Red Sox make it through the curse of the Bambino. Why not a curse name of our own. It will at least give us some form of identity. I was think about the The Corn Flake Curse. What's yours?

  12. How about the Tiger-Cats go to LA. Oscy Wee Wee
  13. Put Levi (cause he likes the name) Brown on the roster as 3rd string. Cut Fitz, other than being a good runner he is terrible. 3rd stringer with no upside.
  14. Coach Dick had the same injury issues in Chicago. Weaker athletes who are poorly prepared will play out of position causing injuries. This is one fan glad to see "The Spa of Orchard Park" shut down
  15. With the Bills coaching staff last year how can all of the blame be on Trent. Yes he was captain check down, but how much of that was weekly prep from the Head Coach that was more conservative than Rush Limbaugh. He really had no QB coach and AVP was two years removed from the broadcast booth. Not exactly a receipt for success. Look at Eli Manning before Chris Palmer became his QB coach. Fans in New York swore he was adopted. Drew Brees was shown the door in San Diego before he landed in New Orleans (Rivers was drafted after Brees' 3rd season). If you look at the first 5 games from the 08 season you see a QB with great ability and huge upside. Is Trent the answer, I am not sure. But he has had a terrible support staff and some of the most pathetic coaching in the history of a team that is known for pathetic coaches. It would be nice to see what Trent can do with a real coaching staff. Do we have that in Buffalo this year is a diffrent question.
