  1. Then you probably should take the Bills announcement of 46K with a grain of salt. That article was also written 5 months before the season, it's a stretch for them - but not inconceivable, to hit that 40K number they reported. Either way we are still at the bottom of the league in season ticket sales, regardless of what the Fish are selling.
  2. Looks like they were still over 40K, states it was their lowest total in 3 decades. I read last month that they were over 48K at the start of July this year, so I guess you could lump us in with them. Still, not the greatest company to be keeping.
  3. We're typically at the bottom of the league every year next to Tampa and Jacksonville. Jax was up to 45,000 about 3 weeks ago, so I guess we might be even with them. Our other lovable loser friends on the lake, the Browns, should be hitting their cap of 64,000 any day now.
  4. It might be easier to always assume he's hurt and just create "Goodwin Healthy?" threads if we think he might play.
  5. I like the area for a stadium (especially if the projects get demoed), but digging a 1 mile underground tunnel for the I-190 is a complete fairy tale.
  6. This site needs an "EJ Meter" - a small Flash app that updates on his play in real-time throughout training camp based on twitter feedback. Sort of like a DEFCON 1-5 thing.
  7. Yeah these guys are throwing haymakers at each other and landing them in the facemask/helmet. Ya gonna break yo hand, son...
  8. He knew that loss was probably his one and only chance to ever win a HOF game.
  9. Spot on. They have no chance at signing him after this season (barring a career ending to Brady). He's simply not going to hold a clipboard for 3 more years.
  10. I wouldn't feel too sorry for them. Now that the details are out, this is actually a fantastic deal for them - and pretty shrewd of their front office as well. Dalton's contract has only $17M of guaranteed money in it, and it is essentially a 2 yr deal worth $25M. After that it becomes a year-to-year deal. If they don't like what they see after 2 more years, they can give him the boot. If he leads them to the promised land, they can pony up and pay him. The last 4 years of his contract only have $7.2M of dead money, which is extremely reasonable for a deal of that size. And if you are still feeling sorry they give him $25M for 2 years, keep in mind we paid Fitz $10M a year, and somehow his contract had more guaranteed money ($24M) than this Dalton deal. Imagine that!
  11. Need to see what's guaranteed.
  12. They need to sit him down and have another talk about ball security like last year. 2 fumbles and a pick in 1 half against 3rd stringers is pretty bad.
  13. Gold Stars: Henderson, Brown, Woods I know it's only preseason, but that's not what anybody wanted to see out of EJ. Thad may have regressed to the point that he won't make the roster. Doug Whaley will probably need a few stiff drinks to fall asleep tonight. Unless it's a fly pattern, TJ Graham simply cannot gain any separation. Every ball thrown his way is a pick waiting to happen. It's time to part ways.
  14. For some reason that statement made me believe him even less.
  15. A new stadium will come with an iron-clad agreement to keep the team in town for the next 30+ years. That's why. The Ralph is like a very old car - one that you've had some of your fondest memories in. It still gets you where you want to go, but the trips to the auto shop are getting more and more frequent and the repair bills are adding up. The NFL is a billion dollar corporation, and it doesn't want old cars in its garage.
  16. I don't want to go back too far in history, too many old wounds. Obviously that 6-3 Cleveland loss set a new low for professional sports. But if I had to pick one from recent memory, say the last 2 seasons, that Seattle game in Toronto was a pretty vicious beating. Team had no answers and just outright quit. I thought a few members of the defense might just void their contracts and retire after that game.
  17. So QB is overrated, it's a running league, and Luck sucks. I have to admit, that's pretty damn impressive for just over 1 page.
  18. The week between the Raiders game and the Superbowl was the longest week of my life. It felt like an eternity. Zero work was accomplished that week. The entire city was just buzzing and going bonkers - it felt like a long, surreal dream. Even though the outcome wasn't what we wanted, I don't think anything will ever top the pure excitement of that first Superbowl. For some reason it just didn't seem possible that I would ever see the Bills play in the big game, but there it was.
  19. 10 people voted "Yes" and believe the Toronto group will keep the team in Buffalo. I would like the 10 of you to contact me via PM, as I have some interesting business opportunities for you, including a way to make $7500+ per week working at home on your computer.
  20. We should have traded our first 6 picks of the draft, we can always draft a Brady-type QB in the 7th round. Errr, screw Brady, trade the 7th round pick too - we'll just get Peyton Manning in FA.
  21. You think we can flip Thad Lewis for picks??
  22. If we keep 2 and bring back Brad Smith, it would be like getting an extra roster spot. Plus Hackett could draw up some Wildcat formations.
  23. They took Jaworski's name off the stadium years ago, since he has basically given zero back to the community and behaves like a schmuck in general. Maybe they should do a "30 for 30" episode about it.
  24. Marrone doesn't drive, he walks to work with his lunchpail in his hands. Both ways. Uphill.
  25. 470 yards of offense, 229 of them on the ground. Our D held them to 210 total yards for KC and didn't let them score a single TD. Just brutal.
