  1. If you're in town.. Go to the Game!!! Beats and BS bar... Then head to someplace like The Big Tree, where you can savor the victory!!!
  2. I read about this guy before the draft... At first I thought NO WAY!!! But I have softened my attitude, now I wish the Bills would give him a try out..
  3. He looked pretty bad last pre-season also... I hope he turns it up a bit this week...
  4. The Bills need so much right now.. I know they need a QB and a Left Tackle.. The only way I would trade my secound round pick was to secure a statring Left Tackle... It's going to be a long year for who ever Buffalo starts at the QB position, the O-Line just isn't good enough and Guard is the strongest position.. Being totally honest, other than the Guard spot, I believe the rest of the line are back up players at best.. I would be tempted to draft a Tackle next year #1 and perhaps a second Tackle or a Center at #2... If your Offensive line is strong a QB who is average can look like a Pro-Bowel player.. If the O-line is weak, someone with Payton Manning type ability can look like a scrub!
  5. Bell didn't look bad.. I hope he continues to improve..
  6. If Trent Edwards got as much hype from the NY press as Kellen Clemens.. He might be in the Hall of Fame by now!!
  7. This O-Line may be one of the worst in franchise history.. I don't see many wins this season!
  8. The Bills can afford a free agent.. or a trade with the Chargers to get a top shelf OT... Dammit!!! without quality help at tackle there is no hope for this season!!!
  9. Growing up in South Bufffalo everyone's father worked in steel mills, the railroad, the grain mills, Ford or Chevy... Worked hard all week and while on breaks talked Buffalo Bills, they couldn't wait for the weekends.. My first memory of the team was sitting in the living room and my grandfather and father watching the Bills on the old B&W Admirel TV... My Father saying,"Look at that SOB run!" He was talking about Carlton "Cookie" Gilchrist, the first man to gain 1,000 yards in the AFL... My grand dad was drinking a Simon Pure and my father a Black Label.. lol The city was thriving and so was it's football team.. The football team had it's down time but in 1969 we got to draft "The Juice"... Man I still remember watching him play for USC and thinking he is going to be a Buffalo Bill.. He came and went, gave us some fond memories and Lou Saban moved on for the second time... Chuck Knox flew into town and made us a contender once again.. A few years at the top with Cribbs, Freddy and Fergie but it didn't last long.. About that time the Steel mills started to lay people off, it wasn't a big deal because those mills weren't going anywhere!.. Steel workers were tough and used to strikes, layoff's and lock outs.. Time passed and the Mills did shut down but somehow having the Bills made you forget about your financial problems especially in the late 80's Marv Levy and company made me proud to be from Buffalo.. I moved out of the area by then because I had to find a job, but I was FROM BUFFALO! Had about a dozen years near the top and sure felt great.. It's been 10 years now, 1 winning season but not good enough for even a wildcard... My parents in Buffalo have passed away, the population of the city is about 1/3 of what it once was, the job market bleak.. But my beloved Buffalo Bills are still there and I still call it home.. It's been 30 plus years of job loss and population decline, an owner in his 90's and I watch the product that was on the field last week and I feel so helpless... I visited town a few weeks back, walked main Street from the Old Aud site to the Theater district.. I was shocked... Not a single department sore remained, Main Place Mall is just about empty, after seeing what my home town has become, I felt empty too.. I've seen what was once a Great American City become a shell of what it once was.. I've seen that City's Football Team Mirror what has happened to My Home Town... I'm sad, depressed and worried that my beloved Buffalo Bills will be playing football somewhere else soon... They will have to leave town just like I did to survive in this economy that we live in... OK.. I'm done venting, sorry if I offended anyone... I hope you can understand how I feel and what this team has meant to me... Thank You All
  10. I agree, I was very unhappy when the Bills ignored him in the draft... Also Mt. Cody looked like a force with the Ravens..
  11. I have to go to work today and face all the Jets fans who I told, "Buffalo's Defense will be a Monster against the Run and it is already good against the Pass"... It was very hard to watch...
  12. Joe Theisman is a HUGE Homer.. driving me crazy... He stops just short of giving the Redskins a Super Bowl title this year... I'm watching on www.channelsurfing.net NFL Network
  13. Ever see the Boston Celtic Logo? What about The Fighting Irish? Cartroonish, Bafoonish Sterotypical Irish right??? But It's OK because it's a white guy?? I'm Irish and I could get all bent out of shape and whine... But I won't because if I did I would lower myself to welefare, the government owes mentality... I refuse to see myself as a dreg of society and choose to focus on the positive impact my people have made on this country... OK.. I'm off my soap box.. Beer time...
