i never said ralph donates money to charity for a tax write-off, be that as it may, my basic frustration is directed at all the ralph ass-kissing that goes on here. sure he has kept the team here, know that , can recite it chapter and verse, my problem(s) with him, and there are many, is holding us in a hostage situation . it is insulting! IT IS DEGRADING, why is it such a big deal to keep it secret? but, if we are to go on what we know, YES, the team will be sold to the highest bidder, case closed. that is the epitome of a shameless pri-k.
Dude, maybe you need something else in your life. How is he holding you hostage? If you are as old as you make yourself out to be, you really need to grow up and find some other meaning to your life. HOSTAGE, DEGRADING?!?!? If the team is sold to the highest bidder, so what! It's a business, BIG BUSINESS.I'm gonna get a little Philly here and say "it's his Fu*^ing business!" GO see a movie or something this weekend, or is Philly growing on you so much that you have their attitude now.
i am actually 60, your "16 yr-old girl" comment aside, to each is own.. i am enjoying the team as much as i did in september of 1960 when i went to my first game. that being said, it is MY opinion that wilson is being disingenous.

fooled me.

i remember back when wilson had to have more seats in war memorial stadium, he strong armed the buffalo common council resulting in 7,200 seats. the threat was there. around 69-70, he is going to move to seattle unless he gets a new stadium resulting in the county building him the "ralph". there was a huge groundswell to build the stadium in buffalo, but wilson insisted on the suburbs. i am quite sure it was because the parking would be all his. he has done a great job of making the loyal fans beholden to him, for this, i dislike him, AND, the lack of not allowing a succession plan to be put into place just further pisses me off.
He made the best business decision for the franchise. He made a ton of $ on parking, so what! He's a business man.If you have dealt with Erie County and Buffalo government(politics), you wouldn't want to deal with those crooks either. Some of you (alot of you) keep forgetting this is his business and he has run HIS business succesfully. If you read any history on Ralph, you would see he as done alot for not only WNY, but the NFL. He helped a franshise stay afloat while in trouble(Clev./Det./Pitt.??) and helped form the NFL as it currently stands. Again, some of you get too personal about this. It's his business and if you don't like it, you always have the Eagles.

ok! you win, all the public money, support enabling the franchise to prosper all in the name of "allowing" us the privledge of having a NFL franchise is fine. no problem, how foolish i am thinking that after the region supporting the team for 50 years , we should just be grateful, no harm, no foul, ralph owes us nothing.. i get it
why should i just "enjoy it while its here"! i , like most of the fans deserve more.. that is weak..
How the hell is a football team's performance tied to what you deserve? You deserve what you earn, I'm missing how what you deserve relates to the Bills and Ralph.
-
why didnt he just leave then?.."commited to buffalo"??? that is such bullsh-t.. we , as a community having been taking it up the a$$ for this guy.. he didnt leave because he preyed upon our inferiority complex! used us like a bunch of fools..
Hey, speak for yourself.My ass feels just fine. Nothing forced up my hole. I choose to root for the Bills. I don't have to but I choose to. He is running a business that is his. He can run it his own Fu&*ing way. You could always root for the eagles or any other team. Iv'e been watching the Bills since the Old Rockpile days and have enjoyed being a fan. He definetly could have left for more money and he would have been right to do so. It's a business, his business. Don't like it, tough. I have no inferiority complex and I'm no fool. Thanks for everything Ralph!

Read between the lines of this quote from David Lee in Mark Gaughan's article this morning, talking about Vince Young and the backup QB battle:
"When you get a guy that's really great at something - and he's a great runner - it makes him exceptional and it makes him more difficult to defend, and it gives you a chance for more big plays," Lee said. "That's what we saw Sunday night. We're not discouraging that. It's something you can't coach."
My guess is that their thinking with Young is that they have a truly exceptional talent and they can teach him the other stuff. Chan did it with Kordell Stewart and Young is better than Kordell. Remember, people knock him for his intelligence too. It's sad that in 2012 that African-American QBs are still stereotyped as great athletes and short on intelligence. Actually, it's worse than sad, it's pathetic.
"Remember, people knock him for his intelligence too. It's sad that in 2012 that African-American QBs are still stereotyped as great athletes and short on intelligence. Actually, it's worse than sad, it's pathetic."
I think you are still fighting a fight that's over. From Warren Moon to Randall Cunningham, I've seen black QB's play and not have their intelligence questioned.VY is having trouble with the play book. He had some issues in Tenn.also. Just cuz someone is labeled as athletic doesn't mean he's also labeled as not intelligent.On the flip side a white Terry Bradshaw was constantly knocked for his lack of intelligence and I'm sure we can come up with more white dumbass QB's(Leaf, etc). You are right, it's 2012 and people still read more into certain comments than what is really there. Drop it already.

Ok. I can't hold it anymore. It seems that there are some people (some in this thread) that love to use the term "best CB when healthy". It's crap. He isn't. He's old. Slow. ALWAYS injured so it doesn't matter anyway. McGee is not only not as good as Williams or Gilmore right now, at his best he was never as good as Gilmore. At practice right now Gilmore is amazing. By the start of the season he will show why hs is the shutdown corner in this team for many years to come.
Last year McGee got injured on opening kickoff. Hebcame back for what, 1 game and was injured again. I also saw him leaving the field on that golf cart and said "goodbye Terrance".
I seem to have this feeling that Terrance said he was healthy when he took that restructure. Apparently hebosnt healed yet from his November injury? What?!? It sounds like he lied to the Bills to me. Not that these things don't happen but it sounds funny to me. If he did fib a bit I think he's as good as gone because I feel they let go of Florance because they thought they could count on McGee. Oh who am I kidding, nobody has counte on McGee in years.
I liked the guy when he was good and healthy but he hasn't in years. He's not that fast anymore even when he is healthy and we should have seen this coming years ago. I said it at the time that we should have extended Greer and traded McGee for a box of slim jims and a case of yoohoos. When your in a position of making future descisions for your team you always go with youth if the talent is even close. And that's why he will probably be gone. If he makes the cut, it will be as the 6th CB.
Hope you were able to relieve yourself.Ok. I can't hold it anymore.I seem to have this feeling that Terrance said he was healthy when he took that restructure. Apparently hebosnt healed yet from his November injury? What?!? It sounds like he lied to the Bills to me.Really?!I'm having a hard time believing that the Bills just took his word on the fact the he's healthy without xrays or MRI's or any other tests.

because the bills do not want him to go back to the jets

What has Williams done so far for us?
Help sell a ton of tickets.

When I left Buff, it was for Tallahassee Fl. Iv'e been lucky enough to see some really good to great college football players and games. Nigel is gonna be a good one. He studies hard and plays hard. I was at this game. The reason for the flag and ejection is the refs called him for leaving his feet and leading with the helmet. Niether was true.Awsome hit! I'll just leave it as the ACC refs are conditioned to make calls on the Noles. In the refs defense FSU has been known as a penalty machine under Bobby Bowden ala the Raiders. Esp. personal fouls. I was also there when Roscoe Parrish was blasted after dropping the ball in rain soaked game( it was played when clicking the link). He got up and played the rest of the game. You should have heard the oohs and aaahs after that hit on Roscoe. When we drafted him, I said that is one tough dude. Turned out to be injury prone, but he's still a tough guy.
-
What I ended up watching the most was his footwork. He has some really good footwork when getting around Olinemen. He gets the lineman going in one direction and uses his quick feet to work around the guy. And he's got a good burst to the QB once he clears the oline. This should be a fun season guys. And I almost got rid of Direct TV.

Hated the Spiller pick then, hate it now ..but had nothing to do with Lynch. I am of the ilk that hates taking a RB that high no matter what..especially so in the Bills situation of a lack of talent across the board a couple years ago.
Below are the next 10 picks. WITHOUT THE BENEFIT OF HINDSIGHT, who would you have taken # 9 instead? As to your comment about talent across the board, Spiller was the most talented player left at #9.IMO. I only see JPP as a choice, but that is with the benefit of hindsight.Maybe Davis, maybe.
(10) Alualu, Tyson DE 6'3" 295 California
(11) 49ers (From Bears through Broncos) Davis, Anthony OT 6'5" 323 Rutgers
(12) Chargers (From Dolphins) Mathews, Ryan RB 6'0" 218 Fresno State
(13) Eagles (From 49ers through Broncos) Graham, Brandon DE 6'1" 268 Michigan
(14) Seahawks (From Broncos) Thomas, Earl SS 5'10" 208 Texas
(15) Giants Pierre-Paul, Jason DE 6'5" 270 South Florida
(16) Titans Morgan, Derrick DE 6'3" 266 Georgia Tech
(17) 49ers (From Panthers) Iupati, Mike OG 6'5" 331 Idaho
(18) Steelers Pouncey, Maurkice C 6'4" 304 Florida
(19) Falcons Weatherspoon, Sean LB 6'1" 239 Missouri
(20) Texans Jackson, Kareem CB 5' 10" 196 Alabama

When I see a picture of him he looks like he could be nothing else except a football player. Straight out of central casting in Hollywood
I thought he looked like the redneck on the Dodge commercial: "Is that a Hemi?"

First of all, our GM and coach have said Carrington will not play DE this year unless there are some major injuries. He is a rotational DT.
As much as I like Kelsay as a team guy and a hardworker and a Buffalo Bill, he simply isn't very good at beating NFL tackles and putting pressure on the quarterback.
He's good at playing to the whistle, at identifying screens and play action early, sideline speed, consistent high motor effort-- those are the things Chan is referring to. But I've watched every play he's been on the field since Donahoe drafted him (like a lot of you have) and I'm sorry but the guy is a below average pass rusher. In fact, I'll go so far as saying most NFL tight ends can handle him in pass protection with no help, much less the offensive tackles.
I still love that interception TD he had against Romo on prime time television. What a great play. I hope he has a few more like that this year, I'm rooting for the guy and I'm glad he kept his number 90, he's earned it.
Thanks for the info on Carrington playing DT.

Ummm. Merriman is not a LDE in a 4-3. Not even close. I'm not saying this can't happen but it's probably the longest shot of anything we've been talking about.
A few things here. Our defensive line, assuming everyone is healthy will look like this:
LDE- Williams- Kelsey
DT- Williams- Troupe
DT- Dareus- S. Johnson
RDE- Merriman- Anderson or possibly Anderson with Merriman in obvious passing situations.
On that note. My biggest gripe with Kelsey his entire career wasn't in regards to him really. More like the team around him. Just 3 years ago he was considered our BEST DLmen. Possibly Williams but hebeas still just working his way to startdom. Kelsey was arguably the best. If your best DE is Chris Kelsey you are in trouble. Now...... Even if he does start opposite Williams he will still only be our 4th best DLmen. And for that reason I don't hate him on this team anymore.
That's all
I think you guys are forgetting a player who I think will be a wild card at DE. His name is Alex Carrington. He too suffered through the switch back and forth between a 3-4 OLB and DE(sometimes DT). He was a DE in college and I think he will help out alot at RDE. Merriman seems soooo out of place on this team right now.

I think we sweep the Jets

I have never got the all-love relationship with Brees. He's a tool, a douche, and scum. The guy got lucky someone signed him and he got the chance to play. At that time it was the Saints, a rebuilding team with weak pieces - McAllister, Bush, player 3, player 4, player 5...and maybe Kyle Turley if I remember right. What Brees is doing to this team is grabbing them in their junk and holding their hands down. The Saints cannot do anything without Brees but like pointed out above they cannot do anything with him.
edit, just screw the rest of what I had - this guy is a prick.
So, tell us how you really feel about someone you don't personally know.

This is how Ralph knows he can, with relative impunity, whore out this team to an apathetic city. He knows that these games have nothing to do with the likelihood of the Bills "going to LA" after he's dead. But he's sure glad you guys believe it.
Whether we believe it or not doesn't matter. It's his team, not yours. He can do what he wants with it. It is a business to the owners,by the way. Not a game, but a business. Businesses exist to make money and Ralph is doing that. If you can't see what this series has done for the business(Buffalo Bills), man I'm glad you don't run things up there. This series has expanded our fan base in the Ontario area to where they might overtake the Rochester area, if they haven't already. If we can get fans from TO, London and Hamilton, this would be a hell of a deal for the Bills(Business).

You can't address EVERY position in the offseason, this isn't madden lol. So we'll just have to wait and see
They really needs to fix this. It infuriates me that they don't update the rosters and you're forced to spend several hours fixing the rosters.
What kind of Dr. has that much time to update rosters in a video game?
-
I think he would've ended up being a good QB if not for our horrendous OL. The guy got clobbered so much that he became timid, always preparing to get crushed and not really focusing on the game. If we had an average-to-good OL, things may have turned out differently. We'll never know.
He did leasd us to a game winning FG to beat the Titans in the playoffs, oh sh$t I forgot, the refs blew that one. I was one of the few who thought we should start RJ ove Flutie that season. Still do to this day.
-
Exactly! I'll take my chances with Thigpen as the backup rather than this idiot.
Thigpen was on the team last season, so we already took our chance with him. Apparently, the coaches didn't like what they saw last season.

Hey, OJ wasn't convicted of murder. He didn't kill anyone. The Glove didn't fit.
During his playing days OJ was one of my favs. I even shed a tear as a kid when he was traded to SF.
My list:
Fergy
Kelly
Bruce
Chandler
OJ/Thurman (If not for the trouble he is in, it would have been OJ)

We're trying to get younger here.
How young do you want to get? I think we're past the "getting younger" stage. We are now in the "we're trying to get better" stage. If we turn it around this season, our window will be 3-4 yrs. Osi can play another 3 seasons and be effective. More effective than Kelsay, Dwan, or Spencer. Those 3 are no spring chickens either.
More proof Ralph is cheap
