Rich, you need to clean your PMs out, your file runneth over.
PLEASE send me your e-mail ASAP about the Jets game. (click on my screen name for my address)
Thansk!

I will not let let the morons ruin my tailgate with TSW. It would be less of a party without you Bart!
Our section was actually pretty well behaved, and loud when we needed to be. B)

She wakes up at night in agony. This has been happening for almost 8 weeks. She has been to 5 doctors. The MRI is on thursday, and we will supposedly have more answers. There is also another, seemingly less serious problem.
Right now, she is, of all places, at work. I am urging her to quit and take it easy, but she does not want to jeopardize payments of college tuition for my daughter. Speaking of daughters, all 3 of them are worried sick.
I tend to think of myself as fairly strong. I have been shot at, hit with rocks and a brick, punched and sued. The thing is, right now I am scared.
I have been a part of the TBD Community for many years, and have seen some positive results.
I am asking for some positive thoughts and/or prayers for Millie, the wife of 20 years of a cop and a Bills fan.
Thanks.
Hang in there, Bill. Sending my prayers to you and your family.
Sometimes people go to work in the face of extreme adversity because it is how they stay sane. Feel free to e-mail or pm me if you want to talk. Let us know how the MRI comes out. I have had three head and brain stem MRIs and I can say they are not bad. Let me know if you have questions about that.

I'm making a sign for the next home game "Wave on DEFENSE idiots!"....And what's with some peoplle getting in with HUGE backpacks and then some of us having our small fanny packs searched for bottles?? Hopefully Guest Services will be calling me today as I filled out a complaint about all the hockey...cheerleaders...football kids selling candy and pepperoni and junk as a fundraiser. I know for a fact that Hunter's Hope asked to do some fundraising at the Ralph and was told NO!!!!! (and that was both times JK was honored!)
Problem was, you asked!
SOMEONE is always selling something or fund raising. Just do it... I know you are legit and have a very worthy cause. No one will hassle you.

Cannot disrespect Henry though.
Henry: 23 rushes, 75 yards, 3.3 avg, 3 catches, 9yards
McGahee: 9 rushes, 31 yards, 3.4 avg, 1 catch, 12 yards
McGahee MAY be the future but TH is not finished.

Hard to place the entire blame on the D when the offense had three drives of 10 plays or more and NO POINTS!
-
Had a guy several rows in front of us who tried to get the wave going - all game long. The he expressed disgust when he got very little response from the crowd.
THEN, late in the game the whole stadium starts doing the wave. Problem was the Bills had the ball!!
I was screaming at this guy: "Sit down, WE have the ball!" but he was too pleased with himself to hear anything, and too ignorant to know the wave was intended to rattle the OTHER team with the ball.
I was hoping the national media did not catch this. Made Buffalo fans look like complete maroons!

Im NOT one to argue with folks like Mark and Tom who have watching this team for MUCH longer than I have and were there (I wasnt).
BUT IMHO, YOU GUYS ARE WAY OFF HERE.
What was seen on TV was MUCH different. What I saw on my TV was a team that played hard. The playcalling was solid and the team gave effort. Mularkey and his new staff seemed to be in control. It got sloppy in parts and obviously, the defense on the last drive was not good. But the team WAS playing...the effort WAS there....at least where I was watching from, 300 miles away.
And frankly. Im a little sick and tired of the Chuck Dickerson-type "The Bills suck, fire everyone, the NFL is against us, bench the QB for ANYONE else, I wish it was 1991!!!" posts that seem to follow every_single_loss this team endures from a myriad of folks. And GUARANTEED that if that last play wound up as an incompletion, this thread wouldnt even exist.
Just my 2 cents.
Rich, argue with me any time. There are many fans MUCH younger than me who can analyze the game better than I ever will.
Just don't ever lump me in with the Dickerson types! I have NEVER been with that crowd.

I'm really not sure which game you watched Rockpile or where your seats were, but the effort was there in spades. To see that commitment to the run against the best Run D in the league was a thing of utter beauty. It's a different offensive philosophy than some have seen here in a LONG time. Maybe that's it. I don't know. If you weren't impressed you're probably in for a long boring season. Me, I've been waiting to see this approach to our offense for a long time. The D was all over the field except for 2 prayers and that is a lack of effort? Moulds looks like he's back in ProBowl form but the fumbles he had were indeed inexcuseable. I agree on the TE hands comments :-).
Cheap shot?
Same game, good angle. B) I was very impressed with the D for 58 minutes.
I loved 32 runs for 106 yards by Henry and McGahee. BUT - commitment to the run? 3rd and goal from the Jagwads 1 yard line? Bledsoe goes back to pass and get sacked. WTF? Great call! Where were the two TEs, RB, FB??
They lacked the heart in the last few minutes to put the game away. Three 4th down conversions, the last to win the game.
I NEVER giveup on the Bills, but this game pissed me off!

Yes, we are doooooooooooooomed.
0-1
Turn out the lights and go home.

This loss had NOTHING to do with Bledsoe. I am not a big DB fan (nor a DB basher) but I cannot understand how anyone who watched this game could put the blame for the loss on him!

Mark and Badol... you hit the nail on the head. Great posts.
It was an ugly game. At post game wind down, it was pretty much agreed that 1-0 is better than 0-1, but even if they reversed the decision on the final touchdown, we were still not impressed. The Bills lacked spirit and the Jags never gave up. THAT was the difference in the game.
Oh yeah -a tight end that can catch and hold the ball would be nice.
NG, I will go out on a limb too. Moulds has lost his spark. He needs to find it and pass it along to some of the younger players who have not experienced wining teams. On one play, he caught the ball, turned to see the 1st down marker and stepped out of bounds. Had he turned back onto the playing field, he would have deeked his defender and the way was clear for 20 more yards at least. I said to my friend them that Moulds is done. I hope I am wrong.
On the positive, the Bills were winning for 59 minutes and 56 seconds of the game.
TKO made a hit to rival Stratton's 'hit heard around the world'. When that helmet was rolling ten yards back up the field we looked to see it there was a head in it!
I am still optimistic about the season, just a bit deflated this evening.
Fantastic tailgate. This was the best yet. When it comes to fans, "nobody circles the wagons like the Stadium Wall".

Actually his real name IS Scoot. Ask anyone in the IC.
Hope to see you this weekend and buy you a cold one Scoot!

Leaving for Buffalo now. Been waiting a YEAR for this.
This year I have officially been a fan for 40 years! I am not going to be negative now!
ARE YOU READY FOR SOME FOOTBALL?

Psycho (Lisa)
KRC
Mrs KRC (sorry I forgot your name
)So the local contingent was greatly out numbered!
Had some great conversation and laughs.
Rich liked his plate so much he had another.
KRC made a campaign promise to me, but I will leave it up to him on whether or not he will go public.
The Crippens are the only folks I had not met before,I did not get back to work until almost 2, but I have a way of sneaking in and not getting "caught".
With luck Dan can post some pictures.

BUMP.
See some of you soon!

At that time the ability to project instant replay in 5 shades of black and white was hi-tech.
