I was there the last time it happened (I think -- it was Reich's win over Miami, right?). Still remember seeing the pieces make their way up to the top... dudes looking over and yelling "look out!" as they were dumped over the side... packs of 10-15 people hustling through the parking lot, all grabbing hold of a large chunk, followed by smaller bits clearly parceled out by some alert fan with a saw.
I moved away and haven't been to a game since. Tough to top that one though.

I've posted on this board at least a few times that the logo should be a caricature of William Cody. Think about it -- our namesake (Buffalo Bill) was famous for hunting and killing our logo (the bison) -- and we wonder why the team defeats itself so often!
Awesome. We should thus switch to the 2nd place contest entry, the Buffalo Bullets, and use a logo image of a mortally shot buffalo. The standing buffalo image is conveniently already red.

That winless steak is overdone.

I put bacon and hotdogs in my mac and cheese tonight. Hello Colon. I edited this post.

Now to throw some water on the fire....Chris Brown is refuting Schefter's report, saying "The report is simply not true."
http://blogs.buffalobills.com/2010/09/01/leinart-rumor-erroneous/
Schefter is another of these self serving NFL 'insiders' who love to stir stuff up and look like they're in the know. Sound and fury signifying nothing. Like Peter King.

Sometimes I think Bills fans want this team to suck. It's the only explanation.

King is really going all out to earn his salary, huh?
Exactly. Sound and fury signifying nothing... for the last 20 years.

Buffalo: The Bills look to be Trent Edwards' team, as if there was any doubt about that.
Talked to coach Chan Gailey on our Sirius NFL Radio show this morning, and he told Bob Papa and me he made the quarterback pecking order Edwards, Ryan Fitzpatrick and Brian Brohm, in that order, headed into training camp. "What has happened in the preseason is that nobody has faltered,'' Gailey said. "Unless something changes drastically, I don't see anything changing entering the regular season.'' Edwards has thrown only one interception and completed 65 percent of his balls in the first three preseason games, and he's been very good on the intermediate throws that Gailey relies on so heavily.

I hope Brohm ends up #2 only to make Peter King look more like the fatuous idiot he is.

Quite the setup offered by the title of this post.

yeah because trading your best players is the best way to build through the draft
I want to hear this argument again in week 11 or 12 and you guys do know this is MLs contract year right? That maybe reason #1 they shopped him a little earlier.RB being a notoriously injury-plagued position league-wide, year after year... Lynch being in his contract year... trading any of these 3 guys has to be the last thing on their minds. Besides, I doubt the FO is completely sold on Joique Bell's long term viability as an NFL back. Seems like every year they have a young RB that looks great (particularly in the 2nd half of the preseason games) and ends up cut or on the practice squad. Shaud Williams comes to mind (although I think he made the roster one year)... who were the Joique Bells of years past?

I just watched the Bills-Bengals game and I thought Stroud looked awful. For a 300 lb man, he was pushed around easily and just couldn't hold the point of attack at all. Anyone else notice?? I just kept asking myself what does Stroud well?
My question: Is Marcus Stroud's position on this team safe?
Completely safe. Who else is going to do Marcus' Mailbag on buffalobills.com?

I responded to another thread like this once, but I'm a fan of this simple yet effective name:
The Herd
Now THAT... is a great idea. Emphasizing team, they could all speak as one. "The Herd went for a-buck-sixty-eight and 2 TDs."

Bryan Cox is in a hate class by himself. That said, I reserve the hate for the dirty players (Wilfork), those who run their mouths with antagonism that goes beyond competitiveness (Bryan Cox and Joey Porter), and those tho cry like little girls (Marino).
-
Who exactly would be who?
I can definitely see Jackson as Earth, but I'm having a hand time saying for sure which name would go where.
Maybe Wind for Lynch, considering how much he's blown lately.

ORCHARD PARK -- Reports from reliable sources out of the Buffalo Bills organization indicate that running backs Fred Jackson, CJ Spiller, and Marshawn Lynch will be submitting formal name change documentation to their current states of residence. They are initiating the process to change their names simply to Athos, Porthos, and Aramis (respectively), the characters created by Alexandre Dumas in his 1844 serial The Three Musketeers. Reports also indicate that quarterback Trent Edwards is considering changing his name to d'Artagnan, but fears backlash from his father.
Of the three ballcarriers, only Fred Jackson was available for comment. "I can neither confirm nor deny any rumors surrounding our names," Jackson said in a prepared statement following practice yesterday. "That being said, I suggest you get hip to 19th century French literature, if you hope to have any idea what my fellow running backs will be talking about in the near future."
Head coach Chan Gailey remained distant on the matter. "Hell, I don't care if they call themselves Wynken, Blynken and Nod, if they get in the end zone. It's hard to keep up with what the kids think is 'boss' or 'rad' these days."
In other news, rumors of Bills logo-ed puffy shirts being sold in stadium stores have been unsubstantiated.
-
Also may have had the worst line in history..............
and Ol' Barry turned out OK. I just hope CJ can take the beating, make folks miss, and know when to initiate contact to spare himself the worst of it.

Cowher wouldn't be any better than Chan. The only difference is we'd have the media slobbering over us.

And Cowher, with jaw protruding, would be slobbering back in his own way. http://www.midwestsportsfans.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/bill-cowher-mouth.jpg

i know it is way too early to even speculate about how the season plays out, but after 2 pre-season wins, i am kind of pumped. (of course anything positive will do that). i am just wondering what all the "experts" , all the "talking heads", ESPN, would do if the bills are very good while the jets sh-t the bed, dallas does not do much, favre sucks, all the usual media favorites just do not do it, at least early. it would be exhilerating to watch all of them squirm.
I must admit being fired up by CJ's performance in particular, but doing my share of handwringing about defense & specials just the same (how many opposing team drives will start beyond the 40 yd line?). There are always a few overhyped teams that flame out... could be the Jets to assume that role this year. Must... temper... enthusiasm.... Teams are still tinkering with crap in the preseason, looking at bubble players, and not tipping their hands too much.

Look folks, the time is wayyyyyyyy overdue to switch to the throwbacks as our regular uniforms. They are among the best ever created. Not using them on a full time basis is a crime. Thoughts?
Couldn't agree more. Dump the battleship colors, especially the dark blue & white alternates (worst ever). Throwbacks are tight! Simple blue jersey with the white helmet... the grazing red buffalo, just chillin, waiting for people to piss him off.
This is just terrible: http://www2.pictures.gi.zimbio.com/Buffalo+Bills+v+Denver+Broncos+5iDNqxf7-Gdl.jpg
And these both suck and blow: http://www3.pictures.gi.zimbio.com/New%2BEngland%2BPatriots%2Bv%2BBuffalo%2BBills%2BP-nW-jGAklIl.jpg
The opinion is commonly held... so why do we keep our current crap? http://ambassadoratlarge.blogspot.com/2009/09/ugliest-nfl-uniforms-ever.html
I was never a big fan of the all-whites, but they're better than what we have now. http://www.dholmes.com/nfl/nfl-bills-super_bowl_xxv_kelly-jim-12-white-1991-stockpic1.jpg
So obviously superior: http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/photos/uncategorized/2008/12/05/bills.jpg
Even the all-whites look tight: http://i.cdn.turner.com/sivault/multimedia/photo_gallery/0910/nfl.afl.throwback.uniforms/images/leodis-mcKelvin.opnh-4580-mid.jpg
I'd even advocate going back to the OLD old helmets, face protruding: http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3538/3393097885_3d4d14d211_o.jpg

Does Green Bay's absolute manhandling of the Colts diminish the significance of our victory last week? If so, how? If not, why not?
Maybe a little, but our preseason win over the Colts didn't hold much significance in the first place. We also don't fully know what the Colts may have been tinkering with in either game.
Can't judge much of anything done by 3rd stringers and guys fighting for roster spots. Plus, the manhandling included 31 second half points.

Awesome. Where'd you find this?

I like what Coach Gailey had done so far. But really, the only thing that will make him still be a good head coach months from now is wins. If we get more than we did last year, yeah, great job. If not, not so much.
That said, I'd trade him heads up now for Brian Billick, Dan Reaves, Marty Schottenhiember, or Tigger.
I prefer Chan to those guys you listed, except Marty. Billick is a so-called offensive genius (thanks to having Randy Moss while he was OC in Minnesota), an egomaniac who got his SB win thanks to a defense he didn't really have to coach. Reeves is done, too old school for today's game. Marty has a great track record of restoring teams to playoff levels (just not moving past that)... so Marty would have been a step in the right direction.
Tell you what though -- I wish we'd have seen the light on Mike Singletary. That dude changed a losing culture in SF, and still doesn't have a legit QB.
-
The Bills also led the league in sideline blank stares and un-adjusted game plans last year.
(until Perry Fewell took over, anyway)Lots of 3rd down stops -- that's what we need.

Found something else in there: In 2009 Buffalo was dead last in the NFL in # of offensive plays, and dead last in # of first downs. I can't find Time of Possession stats...

Well done Jack!
And I'm right there with you dude... that particular Music City Miracle clip drives me nuts every time, b/c it is so freaking clearly forward...
