  1. And they all have a lights out hit/story that resulted in the complete leveling of an opposed player.....They're all thumpers that love to hit, hard.
  2. Lightning in a bottle is going to have to strike on the offensive side of the ball. I'm reluctant to believe that our defense, vitally depending on immediate relief from rookie play, will drastically improve. The team is historically snake bitten with injuries. That said, I'll be ecstatic with Tyrod playing at a "we're going to pay you" level, the defense regains the Rex Ryan swagger, and our rushing game is a dynamic run by committee approach (I get the "But we're paying Shady so much" comments). Long term, buying into the big picture....We need a stable of contributing backs. Shady will play his roll, especially with getting older. Thus, better than 8 wins....With reservation. I'm hoping for the best! Ha ha, awesome....Agreed!
  3. If it wasn't for the Ticket, I wouldn't even have cable anymore. However, it's the only option for me to watch the Bills on a weekly basis, live.
  4. 2016 NFL SUNDAY TICKET OFFER: 2016 NFL SUNDAY TICKET regular full-season retail price is $257.94. 2016 NFL SUNDAY TICKET MAX regular full-season retail price is $359.94. 2015 Pricing was $251.94 and $353.94, respectively. Pricing above is at the one lump sum payment option. 6 month installments for the base package are $44.99 (2016) and $41.99 (2015) - monthly. Thus, pricing has increased. Now that AT&T and Directv have merged (a full year later), I wonder what the impact will be on this year's "negotiations" for a better price.
  5. Some guys are able to do so much (big contracts) off of so little. Bradford is the result of circumstance and he was able to receive very large pay days because of his varying situations (when drafted, etc.). The overall QB play in the NFL sucks and he may look like a complete arse, but what does he care? He already made plenty of money. If it hurts him, so be it. But, I bet he gets another shot somewhere.
  6. I think they got an exceptional football player that didn't test positive at the combine and claims to have not tested positive during his collegiate administered tests. His video resulted in the speculative loss of millions of dollars. The risk is worth his perceived talent at the spot in which the Dolphins drafted him.
  7. I was fortunate enough to visit the SJF training camp last year (the first time for me since the Fredonia days as a kid). It was a great set up. I do think it was very much more "commercialized" than it was 20 years ago. I don't think this was a result of SJF, but more by way of what the NFL has become. I have fond memories of waiting for hours (patiently) on the Bills 90's players to depart the Fredonia facilities and acquire a coveted autograph.....And there were some good ones (Kelly, Reed, Levy, Bruce, etc.). This past year was my son's first trip to training camp. There was not as much access to the players, we weren't allowed to stick around, and it felt like a very controlled environment. I get it, it's how things are now. That said, my sons were smiling and had a GREAT time. They were able to meet our Wide Receivers (including Sammy) and forged a lifelong memory. Hopefully, they are now Bills fans for life! I couldn't ask for anything more! That's all I wanted from that day (seeing that we traveled from multiple states away).
  8. Cameras add 10, 50 pounds? It's the depth of the players in relation to the photographer? Or, he's just a very, very, large QB.
  9. We've been in negotiations for over a decade on this topic. And we'll continue to discuss for years to come. She countered, once, with the idea of me living in Buffalo for one year (without her - she doesn't like cold weather) to get it out of my system. I stood firm and shot that notion down....Nothing like a little piece of football heaven (walk up property to Ralph Wilson Stadium).
  10. We were all frustrated, I was irate with his decision making. His loss due to injury very much hurt the Bills last season (not the loss of his bone headed penalties - but I do agree, at times his play and mental lapses in judgment offset each other). A healthy Aaron Williams and he being a a good leader will help the Bills defense this year. I guess I'm envisioning a player that really had time for quality soul searching.....He'll appreciate the game and his role more. Not only will Ed Reed help, I'm sure Fred Jackson had A. Williams over to the house a plenty this off season. He can finally fill Fred Jackon's role.
  11. The posters here.....You guys are fortunate to be complaining about traffic. If I'm lucky, I make it to one game a year. That one game, is ALWAYS a great time, I enjoy the entire day. Tailgating starts at 8 in the morning and doesn't stop until well after the game. I'm for an OP stadium. I love the throwback feel. It's one of the last remaining "Non-Sellouts" to the corporate everything NFL. Traveling from the New Orleans area doesn't allow for season tickets! But my retirement plan will hopefully include a second residence....I'll be the exact opposite of the standard "snow bird", I'll travel north for football season!
  12. Yes! Bills making the playoffs would help greatly....Because Sammy as a kid, playing with the Bills on Madden is only going to keep him in Buffalo for so long. We all know Mr. Pegula will open an oil field for Sammy.
  13. Sammy is destined for "great" things. I really hope, at the end of his career, he's known as a Buffalo Bill. That said, he doesn't get the respect, nor the recognition he would receive from a large market (or a team with a proven QB). We all hope, Tyrod will be his Jim Kelly....If not, Sammy will move on to a bigger stage.
  14. They're meaningless, but for whatever reason, it does feel better to be ranked in the top half of the league. Mainly, it validates the positive vibes at OBD and it's not just, "drinking the koolaid." To some extent anyway.
  15. Chicago media was not happy with the release of Slaussen. If the Bills land him, we all of a sudden have stability on the right side of the line.
  16. Buffalo offers a relic, a link to the past. There isn't much left from the throwback days and Buffalo provides a sense of nostalgia on Sunday afternoons. I'm glad to hear rumblings of an OP site.....Keep it that way!
  17. I will be shocked if he doesn't play with restraint. Everything says composure (time to heal, reflect, Ed Reed as a mentor, etc.). If he can play, IMO that is TBD, it'll be at a very high level.
  18. I'm watching the Bills vs. Carolina Panthers game from 2013. The game is tied 14-14, Carolina's ball, 3rd and 12 (Panther's end). Cam Newton overthrew his intended WR by a great deal, and Aaron Williams (with all of his emotion) drilled the WR further out of bounds (blatant unnecessary roughness). The penalty allowed the Panthers to keep the ball. I bring it up to highlight his intensity for the game. We've seen it at other times (Patriots week 2, last season). And on occasion, it has hurt the Bills. I hope he plays with that same emotion, but with a mature approach. That'll also mean he's healthy and playing! I see him as the leader of our defense. He will be the "Ed Reed" of this year's team and will tie it all together (physically and mentally). (Side note: Mario was a beast.)
  19. During Brady's suspension, is he allowed to practice with the team and be involved with the team at their facilities? It would be even better if he is completely removed for four weeks (no meetings, communication, etc.).
  20. The Bills could be 5-0! Almost stole the Patriots game and if Bradham makes the tackle against Jennings last week, who knows? Bottom line, they're 3-2 in a conference that has plenty of traditional playoff teams that have worse records than the Bills. They're in the middle of it all with a team that is hopefully getting healthy.
