  1. I was hoping he would stick with the Bills when they drafted him, that was when Pettine was here i think ??
  2. I hope he does i was rooting for him last year when he had the injury & had to be put on IR . Go Hot Rod !
  3. Muhammad Wilkerson, Ryan Fitzpatrick, Marcel Dareus, Mario Williams, the list goes on there are a ton of players that have gotten huge contracts & then seem to be content with just showing up & going through the motions then there are those that luck into the big contract like Fitz & then go back to being their old self & can't deliver, get cut & go on to collect 2 pay checks simultaneously, or remember Albert Haynesworth that dude just fell off the NFL planet & still got paid !! Haven't these owners learned ? Why isn't there any clauses in these huge contracts that specify that the player has to reach certain goals or incentives before hitting a certain pay & if they don't then they don't get the big money that way the team is more so insured that they will get something in return rather than the scenario that happens in a lot of these big contract signings that don't pan out ! The player works their butt off to be the best they can be then they get the big contract (now with huge guarantees) & then they get complacent or the team (like the Fitz deal) jumps way to fast & think they have their guy of the future give them the big pay day & then the player just isn't the guy they thought he was going to be & get hung for all that cash then wind up paying out the contract when the dude is playing for another team ? In the world as we know it if you don't do your job up to the expectations put in place then you get let go & you don't still collect a pay check ! If you work for a company & do a great job for that company you get raises and are expected to continue to do that job at the high level that you have set for that position which is the reason you earned the pay raise & if you don't continue that level of performance like in most jobs or in the military you get knocked down in rank or reprimanded with a loss of compensation in some way ! I get it in cases like Eric Woods situation, you play for a long time for a team sign a contract & while doing that job "Because of the job" you find out you have a medical condition that causes you to not be able to do that job then the team or company should have to pay out the contract . Especially in a sports based contract if that player has set a high standard for their play & get paid as such they should have to live up to or at least be that above average contributor to continue to make that huge pay or have incentives built into their contracts to continue to have them over achieve to make the big money in that contract so they don't just show up like some have done & collect a paycheck !! Or heck not even be there at all & collect 2 pay checks SIGN ME UP FOR THAT ONE !! ? I'm sure this has been talked about in the past so sorry if i bore you with this but i read a article this morning that prompted these thoughts !! GO BILLS !!
  4. The world is a changin !! If the paper had a video game web site business would be up 100% !!
  5. Figures another brilliant idea of a politician to push their ideology on others !!!! Hows that working out so far ??
  6. Another Bills moment that came up that much short of glory !! ?
  7. Who determines the "vague title" ? When i went to the post & read the question i was like - OH Okay i get it but i don't get the vague title thing !! ?
  8. The reason why this is a issue in the first place is because the media made the issue as big as it is !! If they wouldn't have shown & announced at every game what Kapernick was doing & not put one camera on his every move & then incorporate it into other games it would have had to choose another avenue to get his point out which i wish would have happened ! I know that when i go to work there are rules, you don't smoke in the building, you don't talk on your cell phone while at work do it on your break, & other such rules so it's the companies discretion what rules they want to enforce but the only thing with this rule thing now is it has drawn more attention to the problem ! Some times its better to leave sleeping dogs lie, lay ? You know what i'm saying ! If these guys are so passionate about this subject why don't they invest between all the players which make ridiculous money & make a commercial to ramp up awareness or start a group to address it in each NFL city ? Buy the time before & during the games like all advertisers do use their company in that way but i get it free advertisement is better yet full of other controversies ! This is societal issue & when i sit down to watch a football game on the week end i try to leave society behind for how ever long the games that i decide to watch last & i like to forget all the crap that's going on in the world for that period of time, i don't want to here the media blow this thing up the way they have during that time . Since this stuff started my NFL time has went way down (i know a lot of others that have quit the NFL too) because every day is surrounded by ridiculous actions put forth by others & if this continues to be blown up by the media & those in favor of this kind of promotion then i will be relegated to work in the yard or do wood working on sunday's because i know the grass or the wood won't protest & i can just chill & enjoy & block out the crap ?!!
  9. I now live north of Nashville & have been in the area for some 10 yrs the city is growing like crazy & with the Preds & the Titans both doing well & not to mention all there is on Broadway & 2nd Ave plus with the stadium being right with in walking distance it's gonna be one hell of a party !! The NHL all star game put Nashville on the map for a destination for all things entertainment & sports combined & it's going no where but up from here on out !
  10. When you make at least a 6 figure pay check for a company i'd say yah they have a piece of the team !!
  11. Mayfield accuracy will dwarf Tyrod's it won't take long for the coaching staff & the fan base to realize they need to move on from TT unless for some miraculous change in Tyrod & he comes out & just shows a off the chart change in his game ! Tyrod has never had a problem with being a great team mate, leader, work ethic, it's just his production that has kept him as a NFL back up in a starters position & the fans inn Cleveland will see it in short order & the dogs will start to bark loudly !!
  12. In Buffalo it still is & always will be because the working man is what supports this team not the corporate entity !! Too maybe thats why a lot of fans don't watch it like they use to because they are tired of what it has become !! It sure ain't what it use to be when Rice, Bruce, Montana, Favre were playing ! There are very few players like them any more Kyle W. is a dying breed in todays NFL ... TV ratings pretty much show it's on a down hill trend too & some fans don't care for the "New NFL" !! I know it's no longer the working mans sport the product & players on the field shows it , Cam, OBJ, Sherman & many more are all a part of the "Look at Me" movement not to slight their ability's because they are exceptional players i just don't dig the ego's !! I'm turning into a bigger hockey fan every day !! But will always be a Bills fan !! Yep i guess i'm old school & proud of it !! You nailed it !!
  13. What is wrong with it ? I have been to the stadium a few times & i don't get it ! The sight lines are really good the inside of the venue with the updated renovations (that i haven't seen) should have made the experience even better . The only thing that i didn't like which i don't at any venue during a game is the restroom situations because they are usuallly always full but thats because you have all those folks wanting a break at the same time . I've been to Jerry world a number of times sure it's Okay but it's out shadowed by Jerry's Ignorant ego & it's more of a "look at what i can build cause i'm richer than you" type atmosphere the players walk through a bar to go to the locker room i don't dig it !! The Bills stadium is like the team a working mans football stadium , the Bills aren't trying to be something they aren't a football team not a extension of a owners ego . Lambeau , Soldier field, among others are older than New Era/The Ralph & with updates & renovations are still in great shape why build it if they don't need to !!
  14. The biggest travesty was that the guy that lead the team through out the yr wasn't playing & that one falls on Ralph we knew him to meddle with team decisions but that was even worse than something Jerry Jones would have done pretty stupid !! But now its water under the bridge so there's no sense in crying over it any more !!
  15. I hope so i watched 2 Bills games last yr & a piece of another because i wanted to watch to get away from the crap of the every day politics & that was a huge talking point so i shut it off !! If they keep it up this yr i will do the same which sucks because i like watching the Bills & the NFL in general . I think another thing that has changed to us the viewer (for me anyway) is the "it's all about me" players these stupid pre thought up celebrations make the game a lot less than what it was !! I miss the spontaneousness of TO & others like him now a days these players in order to draw more attention to them selves actually sit & plan out what type of celebration they will do & after every TD it's like okay what kind of crap is this guy going to do ? !! The Kyle Williams one was pretty cool just due to the fact he said it was a spur of the moment thing which i tend to believe Kyle wouldn't waste his time on a preplanned celebration & it being his first TD of a long career it needed to be celebrated . But the HO HUM ness of every TD a planned / intentional celebration i think wears thin on a lot of fans me being one !! Please just get back to playing football & the NFL will be much better for it !! GO BILLS !!
  16. After the Bills showing him exactly where his potential was & him showing that he in no way wanted to be here & showed that he was all about the money i think letting him go wasn't a bad thing !! A really good LT would have been nice if we would have had a really good QB to protect but seeing as we didn't it didn't hurt my feelings to see this guy walk !!
  17. He's not retired he just got a bigger contract at another company probably after 25 yrs in one spot wanted a change & with his creds he can go just about anywhere he wanted to . Kind of like when Peyton Manning moved on from the colts alls he needed to do was decide which team was the best fit & who had the biggest check book !!
  18. Yep thats why thy should have took one more shot to get Norwood in range where his accuracy had been great all year !!
  19. With the talk of the Bills retiring Thurman's number this year on the NFL web site they have put up a number of video's highlighting some of Thurman's career one of which is Super Bowl 25. In the heading it says how Thurm should have won the MVP but as alway at the end the give ration of S**T about Scott missing the field goal to lose the game . Well i get it that that one kick could have , should have , would have won the game & i think we all know no matter when we here the term "Wide Right" get that same thought or feeling that we had that glorious day but to say it was all Norwoods fault for losing the game is a crock ! The Bills D let so many plays get through for extra downs in that game that if they were not allowed it would have sealed the game for the Bills not to mention that Norwood from something like 46 yds & out was something like 34% & from 46 yds in his numbers jumped to like 60+% ? So why didn't they least try one quick out for a couple of yds or give to Thurman which was dominating the run game that day for a extra 2 or 3 yds it wouldn't have taken all the time they had left on the clock for one play, they had 8 seconds left . Can you say hurry up offense which the Bills were known for !!!! I just still don't get why all of the focus was on one guy winning or losing the game when its a team sport which the D is part of & the numbers showed that he was less accurate at the distance & the coach of all people should have known that & tried to get him in a better position . There is enough blame to go around i just wish they would look deeper into it & spread the blame around a bit ! I would think Norwood felt like total S**T after but adding the media & the fan base on his back its a wonder the dude didn't commit him self !! He for sure went into exile because of it !! I know it's part of the past but seeing that got my stuff stirred up again SORRY !!
  20. Reed , Jackson, Spiller, Poz but i would really like to get a K. Williams one this yr to give him the props he so deserves for being a Bill his entire career !! Go Bills Do it for KW the Kenworth of D Line men !!
  21. Good coach & person he brought respect , excitement for the Bills future & winning to the Bills which was needed !! RIP coach !!!
  22. I hope his brother doesn't pull a boner like that on the Bills & still try's to get his money !!
  23. Faith the substance of things hoped for the evidence of things not seen !!
  24. If your asking Bills fans it goes as follows . AJ Blows he will never be more than a back up QB in the NFL Peterman was going to be our guy but because the FO blew the draft on Allen our future is doomed ! But i like who we have in the QB room !! I have always thought AJ would be a good NFL QB since his Bama days ! I believe AJ will prove he is worth his spot on the roster & will be a great leader if allowed to be the starter at first in order to give Allen some time to learn .
