In Japan, they have such a law also. When translated back to English (Japlish), the signs in Tokyo read "No drinking over walking"

I do recall that Mario came to Buffalo for the big bucks....yes...but that he also wanted to play in a 4-3. The shift to the Rex 3-4 based D is a mess, and , unfortunately, the owners (saints, yes) apparently went for REX show, not go on the football field. Buffalo has been snakebit by changing back an forth for about a decade.4-3, 3-4,4-3,3-4 etc etc. Players fit one better than another...so what. And, it is a management failure to comprehend this....and that ,now , is the Pegula's. (RIP Mr Wilson)

Speaking about laughing....did you see Gragg catch a pass from Manuel while standing with both feet out of bounds? And, he was laughing his head off after...watch the replay. Maybe Gragg didn't appreciate he hurt his team with a bonehead play....the attitude on this team is bad.....megabucks and comfortable doesn't make hustle and determination.

All this bring back Schwartz talk......yes, he should have been kept.......but Rex ego wouldn't allow that. The Bills are paying Schwartz $3 mil this year and next....to do nothing btw. Rex fired him. Wanted his buds from the Jets staff.....so Rex could call his own D plays.

My word for him begins with a b....BUMBLING

Schwartz would not come back short of the HC job. And, he didn't get it the first time around. He is collecting $3mil this year for not coaching (thanks Kim and Terry) and, I think, again next year as well. Schwartz is sitting in an unpaid league job waiting for a HC gig. Roman working for Schwartz, theoritically possible, at least, not vice versa.

This could be a lot of things. Anybody know if Harvin was born outside the USA? Just saying, might not have the documents to get a passport....or a work VISA. Hard to believe it would go on with a public figure like and NFL player, but who knows. Could also be health related, not injury related...did he even have a rare disease....anyhow, lots of speculation on behavior as a basis of this problem. But, could be anything!!!!

Rex even calls the D signals on the sideline. I wonder who is being head coach when Rex is hobbying at being DC....?????

Rex said "different philsophies" Right, Schwartz way works though.......

It will be a show, but, of what, is yet to be determined. I am sitting here on Sunday morning getting ready to go to the game with my buddies (cinci chilli for the tailgate) and its snowing at my house. Hope conditions are a little better at the Ralph. Weather won't be the best for the passing game, anyhow.

I watched EJ throw in the games last year, and TT this year...as a season ticket holder of many years. The report above about EJ not hitting the broad side of a barn for long throws is right.......TT has thrown much better than that this year....his arm is decent although not all-pro imho. EJ last year was not decent. EJ this preseason has better than I have seen him before....maybe he has turned the corner. Still, his occasional bumbling behavior on field makes me nervous, and is clearly why the coaches are down on him. None the less, we will undoubtedly see him this weekend against Cinci and we will know if EJ is a player once and for all. TT shouldn't go and should take two (three) weeks off, come back 100%. Whaley traded Cassell (starting now for Dallas) so EJ would get this shot. OK, but the season rides on EJ being enough of a pro to step in and win. My guess is we win in London only...and the EJ debate will rage on. For the record, I would have prefered to have Cassell in the Bills QB slot this weekend. Finally, I witnessed the on field frustration gestures (not body language) of the receivers last year....that was plenty of evidence for me where the problem was. The term "body language" doesn't convey the gestures, as there was no need to read the gestures, they were self explanatory.

Whaley has gotten a back stabing rep.......why do you think Simms elected to stay on the Falcons practice squad.......???????? He certainly stabbed Cassell...getting the pay cut and then trading him. Simms can't make the Buff Practice squad on a technicality.........that could have also been managed. I think Whaley did all this to get EJ another shot........I hope TT is out long enough for EJ to show what he has or doesn't have....this ought to be his last shot in Buffalo. I root for the Bills to win, and if EJ does well, so be it. But, if he gets a few games and bombs.....well, astalavista baby.......

McKelvin is a good tackler.....but, he is not a big hitter type.....actually, none of the current crop of safeties are.....maybe Rambo tries......I long for a safety ala Leonard Smith of the 80's, there was a BIG HITTER safety.

Don't wear your Bills gear in Pittsburg, it will get ugly quick. My son had an incident some years ago.....he wouldn't go near that stadium again even in civilian clothes.

Moore and Boom both fumble....both in their first week after not playing for a while. Maybe its not good to put guys on the field the week you bring them in....just sayin.

TT's throws today were a little off....that can happen......Harvin disappeared.....he is not playing like a $6 mil man. (but REX loves him, oh well) the thing that bothered me the most was I saw REX calling the D signals. WHO is being the head coach then??? I have season tickets, but don't watch REX at home, so seeing that on the TV made me aware. Every other D coordinator in the league calls the D........thurman must not have the goods to do that imho. REX must feel he has to do this to live up to his rep a D god. Yes, the D held the line today, but, is statistically way behind the mark the Schwartz did last year with the same folks. finally, I was glad to see Gilmore finally look like a first round draft choice that turned into a shutdown corner and delivered the BIG play. BTW, the replay on TV showed the call on Gilmore was a good one....he did have a handful of jersey. None the less, Gilmore is extremely valuable now...not so much the first three years mostly........

Pretty big time move for an interm HC........he may or may not be right, but he his moving fast. In any event, we now see why he was elevated to HC.......he is going to do things his way in a hurry. So, it remains to be seen if he can resurect the Dolphins carcass, but where ever he is going, he is going there fast.

I too was around in those great days.....saw Butch Byrd play in the old rockpile......I was in my teens.....and my Dad used to occasionally get the company tickets and would take me. Later, I went off to college in Troy NY, and, off season, I used to see Butch's tricked up car with all his decals...he was from Waterveliet across the rive from Troy. So, he was a "local" in the sense he was from NYS. I thought Butch was very important to the Bills teams of that era, he was that big play capable cornerback that occasionally got the pick 6. We have good CB's now.....including G, M, and Darby. But, none has yet shown that kind of big play outcome on a regular basis.

McKelvin in the last couple of years has shown the ability to make INT's although Darby has done some of that, our alleged #1(gilmore) has only a few picks in all his years as a Bill (maybe 2, not sure) A good cover CB is great, but the int capable guy is even more valuable. If the Bills don't get a Great offer for McKelvin in the trade market for next year, look for him to still be on the roster day one 2016. Starting CB talent is rare and valuable....and he is one. And, he is paid fair value for his ability. It took him some years to learn to play, but he know how now...... And, despite all of Darby's success, I remember the troubles he had off the field at FSU.....and feel pretty good Bills have Leodis still coming back, maybe for just the year....none the less....Darby has been great on field...not sure how he is doing off field.

Likely not, however, if you want to stop spending two roster spots on for kicking, maybe Cundiff is the best for BOTH functions in one roster spot. That is...Gay was the best kickoff, and couldn't placekick. Carpenter, apparently, can't kickoff.......but Cundiff might do both adequately, but non necessarily as well as either Carpenter or Gay. Anyhow, that is what I think is going on.

Rex and coaches don't want Bryce Brown. Whaley might think thats an option, and he can force the issue as GM, but Brown and the coaches have parted ways. It will end badly if he is resigned.

That (called back) TD to Clay was a beautiful catch and throw......TT can deliver most throws imho. My fault with him is that, in the first half, he should have taken off a few times....but he is drilled, just like EJ was last year before he was benched, to throw and not run. He has to run some, especially when there is 25 yards up the sideline to be had. On the radio broadcast (yes, I still listen to the real time commentary when at the Ralph) Kelso even mentioned that Tyrod should have run a couple of times. Coaches need to teach judgement, not absolute rules. Fitz used to take off occasionally, and was usually effective. TT can be better by far at that than Fitz was.....he did do it in the second half....it was like the coaches turned that on for the second half.

Yep, this isn't a playoff caliber team, they loose their head to easy.....way not a smart team.

Well, based on McCoy's performance (all heart but no go), I would say Whaley and Kelly are in the dumb and dumber categories so far.

Groin injuries are notorious for being lingering (like a hammy,actually) Miller will likely have this situation all year. Just a question of whether he can play with it. Back a few decades, I had one....and played the rest of the season. But, it hurt so bad I couldn't drive my stick shift, couldn't lift my left leg to do the clutch.
