  1. I might not outlive the lease, but, 10 more years of the NFL in WNY sounds good to me.
  2. This will likely happen irrespective of whether he gets on the field.
  3. Russ Brandon doesn't decide anything, get a grip.
  4. they are just trying to get healthy bodies on the roster. Their judgement must be that McKelvin will not be right by a week from Sunday, so he won't play again. So, IR him, and get a healthy body. Now, Morrison knows the system....so he is a good choice to help out.
  5. I don't think this one will get out of hand. Saw the game in Buffalo, evenly matched loosing teams. Maybe the embarassment of last week will motivate the Bills to regain a little self respec t. And, money and jobs are at stake. they are a little short because of injuries though, wr, oline cb....oh well.
  6. Best inovative business thought I have heard on this board in quite a while. Well, there is USC and UCLA and on and on. Lots of football available in SC, a tough market for the pro's to crack. Two failures so far there. (Rams and Raiders) In buffalo, there was no competition in 1960, as UB was small time, and, although Div 1 now, still is only a mid major player. So, the WNY fan base is oriented to the Bills. Syracuse is a little far to go, and tickets not to available/Carrier Dome is pretty small. However ,the TV thing does level the revenue thing to some degree...but, the prices in a big market might be higher. I just hope the Bills will try somewhat higher prices before they abandone the Buffalo area, we are very low on ticket prices right now.
  7. I think Polian likes the ESPN gig and had called it a career.
  8. Unfortunately, you will get your wish when Ralph passes. In the etc category, will be the Bills organization.
  9. Yeh, even Cordy Glenn got wupped yesterday.
  10. Well, it was a mistake, however it happened, but not a big deal. I actually think that the sneak needs to get run in unexpected situations once in a while to keep the D honest. I saw a QB do that a couple of years ago, and he went for 55 yards. Would have scored but the center (who was out in front of him) was to slow. Ran it because ther was nobody up the middle in the D. Speaking of unexpected plays, that fake punt was a beauty, ehh. (it was in Canada ) Just surprised, then, that idoit Carroll didn't also run an onside kick after one of their scores!(I guess he was taking it easy on the Bills )
  11. Mr Wilson will have his year end review with Nix and Gailey. At that time, they will be told whether they will continue. I remember when Chuck Knox came back from Detroit, and announced he would not be back. Anyhow, that is the alleged SOP. So, first or second week in January will tell the tale. A top five pick would not be bad news. However, I hate to loose to the phins and Jets, especially. So, I will be pulling for our team, however bad they may be. I lived through the 2-14 years that got us OJ, so I guess I can live through this.
  12. Another defensive stinker. Outcoached and outplayed. Lots of folks out there that don't know what they are doing. I can wait a couple more games to find out who is getting fired. Nothing would surprise me. the rookies really looked bad, Graham, Glenn both looked terrible. Gilmore and Brooks got smoked a couple of times also. At least no negative calls on Williams, but maybe he was so far out of position that they could call him out. May be time to finally let the season tickets go.
  13. Fake punt, 30 pts ahead...yikes, our guys are playing "run for the bus" football. Get the game check and get out of Dodge!
  14. Yes, Graham looks like a bust at this point. I counted 4 drops, and I wonder why Easley isn't in there. I remember a number of years back the Bills had a punt returner who dropped three in one game, and they cut him the next week. TJ is a candidate for that treatment, recalling the Pats game faisco as well.
  15. Spiller will get his yards, I am saying another 100plus game. Fitz will have a good game.......but so will Lynch. Close game to call, Bills would win 4 of 10 if they played 10. Still not consistent enough. Of course, a couple of big plays could turn it around. McKelvin could do it, Graham could do it, Spiller could do it. Who Knows, thats why they play the games.
  16. Michael Vick paid his debt to society. OK, I get that. But he is not the person I want the kids in WNY looking at in a Bills uniform. And, I have seen Vick in person in the Ralph as the Atlanta QB.......a scrambler without a great arm...never get you to the SB...and already north of 30. Bottom line....we will never see Vick in a Bills uni.....IMO finally, I am thinking whatever it takes to get Landry Jones....all those starts in the OK uniform.....he can play.
  17. Just recall, Aaron Rodgers was a #1, and sat for 3 years before playing. OK, he was behind Farve...but, still...at least one year of grooming is appriopriate to save on field education mistakes.
  18. I remeber all the happy talk about James Hardy. But, the guy was incredibly slow and couldn't play at all, save the jump ball pass at which he excelled at 6'6 or whatever he was. I am not sure I believe any of the predraft hype. I would go for the speed guy every time.
  19. Buddy has excelled at combing the corners of the league for players. We got Urbik, Reinhart, Chandler that way......reports of his mistakes are legit, but remember the good moves also!
  20. Well, the truth is the Buffalo market will not support the ticket price structure that can be had in Toronto (or in many other large markets) Hence, the winning record would not change the finicial calculus much. Selling out Ralph Wilson Stadium at current prices still has a significant disadvantage to selling out the Rogers center. Hence, the money men will prefer a big market venue. That includes all the visiting teams as well, since they get a share of the live gate. So, I don't buy the on field performance argument vs a via the need to have a Toronto game or two. If that keeps the bills in Buffalo, I am all for it!
  21. Actually, the list is longer than those two. Urbik and Reinhart also have to be resigned. Thats the top 3 guards, and we surely have to get Urbik. Reinhart is a starter on other teams as well.....hope we don't loose him. And, somewhere out there is t he end of Woods contract.....I think he may have one more year. Spiller has two more I think. George Wilson also will need to be resigned, but I am wondering about that. With Aaron Williams a bust at CB, he may be moved to safety, DeNorris Searcy is already there, And, frankly, Ron Brooks would be a great safety as well, a hitter with ball skills, depending on if his very average speed is adequate on the corner or slot.
  22. Actually, I am tired of trying three years and out, lots of confusion with a new system. Of course, the 3/4 4/3 switches have rendered the D useless for much of the last three years. The last few games are the only time in that period where I have seen a real NFL defense! And, the O is definitely better than any of the Jauron years, they were in the bottom 4 or 5 in those years. I think if the D had been better, Gailey would have had a better record than the Jauron years. I think they finally have it right (almost), it still can get better with better personnel, esp at LB. None the less, at this point, the O and the D are better than the Jauron years. No desire to go back there. And, yes, the personnel are better, and I agree, the strength of the O is the Oline and rb. QB and WR could be better, but are not total diasters. And, I think Fitz is better than Losman or Edwards ever were on their best days.
