  1. I think a factor in this will be if the league expands to 17 or 18 games thus having an extra home game every oter year (17) or every year (18). Next year it hosting....AFC North and NFC South so they would be hosting Cincinnati and Baltimore from the North and (I think) Atlanta and Carolina from the South. If they go to two games My feeling it would be one of these two pairs that goes to Toronto. I see more likely 7 games over 5 years with a contingency if the league adopts a 9th home game then 2 games will be played in Toronto. I think what they need to do is have the fans choose of their non division opponents which one are they definitily do not want going to Totonto.
  2. I'm...carry the one.....almost 43. I was born and raised in buffalo and a UB grad. Mved away n 1995 and have lived in the Philly, baltimore, DC markets for a dozen years and now I live in sesttle market..... I've been to quite a few games in my lifetime....some of interest.......see if you remember these games.... 1. First game was the hail Mary game by ferguson against the patriots in the early 80s. I went with my brother and about 15 other people. They wanted to leave when they punted. I wanted to stay..but I lost. When walking outside I here van millers call of the hail marry....ugghhh. 2. 1985 went to the cowboys game where we one one of the only two wins that year. 3. Night football. Game...rams visiting. Flipper Sanderson splits the safety on a long play with under 2 for a td. Kelly drives the team to win on I think it was the final play on a pass to reed. 4. Steelers in town in September...Kelly blows them out. I think the final was something like 51-33... It as a blow out early. Then fights ensued in the 3rd and 4th with drunk fans 5. I was at the first AFC championship game 51-3 over the raiders. I camped out for tickets the prior snday night/Monday morning. 6. I was at Kelly's last game...a playoff loss to the Jags when he got knocked out of the game. I have gone to other games over the years. N the early 90s I split season tickets with someone I knew. I know of a few current season ticket holders. One is my sister-in-laws brother. This year it's a possibility since me and my brother will be back in town that weekend we could try and do the jets game. I am still contemplating traveling to a road game this year....I have an nuclear who is a big niners fan and talked with him on going to that game ( he lives in the bay area), I could go to the game in Phoenix, or I could go to the game in Houston ( I have family there. So if I did I'd likely go with a couple of relatives who are Houston fans). I would have gone to the game in Seattle for certain if it was here this year and would have been if they didn't flip pairings for home/away matchups.
  3. You could always do duffs...either location in mherst or near the airport.
  4. In his prediction he thought a win at NE would happen..... Personally....in looking at their schedule.... The road games at NYJ SF NE HOU would expect to be losses The rest of the road games AZ MIA IND CLE Buffalo should win A key thing in the Arizona game---Buffalo got a schedule break by having them back to back weeks so they should stay someplace out west in between games. Last time playing the West in 2008...NE did back to back both trips out west when playing all 4 west coast teams while the Jets did individual trips. It cost the Jets and benefited the Patriots. Then with their home schedule.... MIA TEN JAX STL SEA KC all should be wins The issue will be with the game hosting NE---they beat them last year. The finale against the JETS it depends greatly on what is at stake and their record. If they have a wild card spot locked up or were out of the playoffs and had nothing wo play for then its possibly a loss....if they do have somethign to playoff such as a playoff spot or division title then they would play to win. what was the tally...24 points off of turnovers plus another 7 due to special teams....you cant win in this league if you do that. If they are perfect at home then they go 12-4....lose one then 11-5...lose two then 10-6.
  5. The higher priority was RB with JAckson out. Remember...Spiller can still play wide out while either Choice or White was in the game. TJ Graham will be active for the game. When Freddie comes back one of the RB will be cut and they will then pull a WR from their PS.
  6. It seems this game came down to a few plays that went against the Bills.... 1. INT return for a TD 2. Spiller fumble. Based on the score at 41-28.....if these two didnt happen it would could been 31-31. Spiller fumble didnt happen Buffalo likely would have gotten at least 3 on the board...and not enough time for the jets to go down and get 3. The pick six subtracts 7 from the board. I do believe had the regular refs been in there you would have seen more holding and other calls to the Jets OL. Fitz timing/placement appeared off on the pick throws. Im old enough to remember the early 90s team (some of you were still in diapers)---they would always have one game that thinks just didnt go right. That happens to just about every team in the league.
  7. When I lived in northern Virginia there was a bar/restaurant that was a bills bar. The owner actually would bring in wreck buns. It's called grevey's. It's along route 50 in a Safeway lot just outside the beltway near a hospital.
  8. Where I live i get Comcast. NFL Network is not on standard cable...you need to sports package to get it along with Redzone, NHL network, NBA network, MLB network, and other sports stations.
  9. For Thursday night games they set the schedule up so every team is on once. 15 weeks of games with a total f 17 games....if you eliminate the years opener that is 16 games with each appearing once. The nfl is trying to market it's own network to get it on the lower tier of cable. The local markets aren't locked out of games but secondaries are which shouldn't be the case. As a result of their onstraints of having every team you get some duds for games. Many of these game on wouldn't have made it anywhere but the traditional packets. Why do you not get nfl network...ask your cable company?
  10. I wonder if they take the clip of it wrap it round a loop and show it to John Potter on why he is on this team.....
  11. I think Easley and Brooks are activated around the same time to the Bills roster after the bye week and become significant factors in road games at Houston and New England.
  12. The issue are....... 1. questionable evidence....couldnt you suspend many more players not on the saints for having some sort of pool/kitty for hitting the QB or a big hit?? Lynching the Saints over this 2. Legality of the evidence collected 3. The commissioner was not objective 4. They didnt reveal all of their evidence which a practice by a District Attorney could make them disbarred. 5. The intent to injure was not proven.
  13. The order f how games are decided.... 1. Local team in primary/secondary/traditional markets 2. If not your team then a division rival. Most casual bills fans know who buffalos division rivals are and that's it. 3. Local connection to the game. It's common for high round draft pick, rookie starters, and now starters at qb, rb, wr to be picked up by their local college markets or home markets. 4. Get a look at a high profile rookie player...look for many markets to get a game involving Andrew luck and RG3. On #3.... In the past Austin has aired Cleveland games because of colt McCoy. Knoxville would air Houston because Arian foster played for Tennessee...Boise would pick up jets games because the rookie starting cb played the prior year for Boise state. Lincoln NE taking Detroit games because of Suh, Birmingham airing Carolina because of cam newton. Can't recall what college it was but the high draft pick of KC Eric berry was picked up by his college town. The bay area is airing Indy games. Chico California when the can will air green bay games when it can because Aaron Rodgers was from Chico and went to cal. Look at the schedule...the same week buffalo is at San Fran and oakland is off is the week Aaron Rodgers visits Andrew luck at 1pm....thus allowing northern California to see it. Where I live in Seattle last year they aired quite a few titans ganes because Matt hasselback was the starting qb. They will do it gain this year because the titans qb now being jake locker was born and raised in the Seattle market and went to the univ of Washington. They have to be high profile positions or starting rookies.
  14. While the idea of generic v market is true that isnt entirely the case. In Wyoming, Nebraska, and Kansas local cable companies are opened on operated by Denver. It's cheaper or them and easier to just feed them Denver. Under the various laws governing the FCC...if you are in a local market DMA. Some f these DMAs have been hijacked because Denver cable was already established when the laws changed. Before these were not affiliated counties. Some of these counties like the ones in norther Nebraska should be with Cheyenne, Casper, or rapid city. The SE corner is a rural fit to Denver because Denver radio can easily be picked up there. The one in northern Wyoming should be rapid ity or billings...not Denver. The NE in Nevada hold be Reno or salt like. Same issue with thE corner county n Kansas that is green...cable brings in witchita/dodge city while satelite brings Amarillo. The creator of the site is using satellite coverage...not cable. Actually area 51 is to the south near Nellie AFB about 2 hrs from Vegas.....ssssshhhhhhhhh......
  15. It's is used by directtv and dish because f their signal for these remote location. Cable tv n towns provide different tv coverage of loser markets. That blip in Nevada is a county that is split. North gets Reno stations, south gets salt lake city. Then satelite brings in Denver. 1. Andrew luck..... 2. No Pittsburgh or Baltimore available 3. NFC market so this is a game with NFC team 4. The norfolk, Virginia beach area is a large retirement area where you get quite a few Midwestern transplants so they grew up bears lovers or haters. 5. Andrew luck...
  16. Yes...the equally screwed each team out of non-calls.
  17. why work him out ???? Plax is still available
  18. After you sgn a contract now on I believe it's in not guarentted for the year...thus the player get a per game heck until they are released.
  19. AFC EAST: New England AFC NORTH: Baltimore AFC SOUTH: Houston AFC WEST: Denver WILCARD 1: Buffalo WILDCARD 2: San Diego NFC EAST: Philadelphia NFC NORTH: Green Bay NFC SOUTH: Atlanta NFC WEST: San Francsico WILCARD 1: Detroit WILDCARD 2: Chicago superbowl AFC: Houston NFC: Philadelphia WINNER: Houston :
  20. Actually...no....if they saw the kid as more of a project but with an upside you release him very early teams think he must suck so not contact him. Then you can get him to your PS.
  21. For the game of the 53...only 46 can dress (46th being a 3rd QB). That means 7 dont dress for the game.... Which 7 do you think? i guess: 1. QB Jackson 2. LB White 3. RB Choice 4. OT Young 5. CB Brooks (or his roster replacement if on IR) 6 .LB Morrison 7. FS Howell
  22. The other aspect of this....you can only dress 45 of the 53 for the game. (plus a 46th emergency QB).....Bradham will be dressed for his special teams play. Its possible they dont dress Morrison if he doesnt play special teams.
  23. I think just like with the D-line they want to set up a rotation system with the LBs.
  24. They will likely find a CB to sign ...Youbody is out there. When TJ is up to spead and they cut Thigpen they add another WR.....unless there is an issue with short term injuries at a position.
  25. Interesting conspiracy theory http://bleacherrepor...buffalos-roster The idea that Chan basically buried Easley in order to get him on the PS this season. Which is similar to what was done with Jasper last season....he was listed as a DT but then he flips to an OL on the PS. Going into last season he was slated as the #2 WR. Given his heart condition and the uncertainty Gailey wants to ease him back intot he game.
