  1. Never going to happen. You are talking about a city (Buffalo) that has been steadily losing population, industry, jobs, etc. Rochester has also. The best way to get any growth in the rest of New York State is to get NYC out of the state and make them a District like Washington, D.C., or their own state. All of New York State has been and will continue to keep playing for NYC.
  2. I live just south of Tampa. I will admit that while Dungy was here, I rooted for Tampa against everyone but Buffalo. I am not a fan of Gruden (Chuckie). I just can't bring myself to root for Miami. Haven't watched enough Jacksonville to form an opinion. My heart and soul belongs to the Buffalo Bills (and I have lived through even worse seasons than this year) and if they move from Buffalo, maybe I will just watch some games for the pleasure of football and not be a fan of any team but a fan of the athletic ability of the players and appreciate catching an occasional exciting game.
  3. With all the times he was beat at the line of scrimmage, I would put him in the middle of the pack
  4. Oil prices will go up again. We need to find alternative sources, or maybe drill the oil in US territories so we are less dependent on foriegn countries until we do find those alternative sources. If we had our own supply of oil we wouldn't be so dependent on Venezuala, or the Mid-Eastern Arab countries.
  5. He's only two-time because everyone is voting on how he played last year. He did not have that great of a season this year after his hold-out. He never played up to his potential this year.
  6. I, for one, will never root for Buffalo to lose, meaningless or not.
  7. They are the comeback story of the year. From a terrible season last year to possibly winning the division. Also, I am so tired of Bret Favre. He should have stayed retired. I had more respect for him then. But he came back and we were saturated by the media about him.
  8. Unfortunately being a good guy doesn't equate to being a good coach. I live outside of Tampa, and Tony Dungy is a very respected man in his community but they blasted him for not winning in the playoffs or the Super Bowl. Chuckie came in and won with a team Dungy put together. I was glad to see that he did get his Super Bowl win even though it was in Indy.
  9. It's amazing that everyone has made excuses for Edwards. He's a rookie, he's only played 20 games, the effects of his concussion lasted 8 weeks. But every other player has to be a superstar out of the gate. Get real! Give the kid a chance to develop like you gave or want to give to Edwards.
  10. If you remember they used the excuse for Trent a couple times last year.
  11. I just checked the link and Losman is not on it. Must have been a typo and they fixed it.
  12. I don't care about a better draft pick, I want the team that is on the field to win. The way it started out was depressing, but the way it finished it was great. I'll worry abut draft picks in April. If they lose because someone beat them, fine, but I don't want a team that quits for a better pick because they are out of the playoffs.
  13. I never thought Trent was a bust, I just don't think he is the savior. We need other positions to be solid, like some positions on the offensive line and need more pass rush from the defense. Players come from all over the country, many from cold weather states. And in college they travel to cold weather states. Can't always use the excuse of cold weather. If you remember Kelly grew up on PA and the went to Miami for college. He didn't want to play for a team in cold northeast. Bust when he came to Buffalo he played great for Buffalo. Marino who also grew up in PA (cold weather state) and was drafted by Miami. He played terrible up most of the time (not every time). Need to stop using the weather as an excuse.
  14. I don't watch football to be worried about draft picks. I watch the game to see the team I root for win. The way you talk if you are out of the playoffs you might as well lose every game so you get a better pick. I'd rather see those that are on the team now play their butts off and if we win great.
  15. Not much of fan if you are rooting for them to lose because you don't like the coach. There have been coaches and players over the years that I didn't like but I never root for Buffalo to lose.
  16. The US still needs to drill our own resources and also look for alternative energy sources. The oil crisis will re-occur, next time not coming down as fast or at all. While the prices are lower now is the time to get our reserves up and find an alternative to the dependence on oil. We need to stop being so dependent on others for our energy.
  17. As a former owner of a business, it is within your rights to serve someone. I think the parents need their heads examined for the name they stuck on the son. He will continue to have problems as he grows older.
  18. I clicked Individual Game, got a thank you and the survey was done. Said the rest of the survey was for season ticket holders. I guess my opnions don't count.
  19. Yeah, when Trent had his head on straight we beat teams with losing records. Who have we beaten with a winning record? Nobody!!!
  20. During the off season a lot can happen, including a coach getting fired regardless. It may not be over yet.
  21. This governor needs to further research "diet" soda (pop). It is worse for you than the regular pop (soda). There are studies out there. Diet soda (pop) does not make you lose weight but gain.
  22. I drink Pepsi which is a "pop" not a "soda". Not diet or caffiene free. The original. I am not obese. Pop did not make people obese. In fact new studies have come out that people who drink "diet" pop don't lose weight. They eat foods that aren't healthy but drink "diet pop" so they think they are okay. Second, I thought clothes were taxed. Third, you are crazy if you remove the cap on gas tax. New York State already has some the highest prices in gas (and it has been coming down). I live in Florida (which is not one of the lowest states) but when I was there in November, there was about a 50 cents difference (and where my brother lives is about 30 cents lower then Florida). And fourth, the last time a governor tried to get the Indians to tax "non-Indians", the Indians shut down the Thruway with burning tires (this section just happened to cross Indian land). If he signs the bill (especially involving the Indians) there will be trouble. Tires burn for a long time.
  23. This is a polical board not football. If you want to bash JP go to the Stadium Wall.
  24. How do you know that for a FACT? Are you the doctor? T.O. has such a big ego he would not miss playing in the Super Bowl now matter what. And if he can get coaches to agress, you are right it doesn't matter what a doctor says.
