  1. That would be amazing. And I just got free HBO for a year!
  2. Quite the feel-good offseason piece. No real news or groundbreaking information here. But hey, someone wrote it, so I posted! Go Bills http://www.nfl.com/n...drought-in-2014
  3. I hope everyone (including Big Baby) learned the real lesson out of all of this: big fat guys do not make very good race car drivers.
  4. Of course, coverage is often press in red zone defense. Need to create that separation before you are free to get a jump ball.
  5. I think Martin is likely at 9. If they pull an amazing first round trade move like they did last year to move up for Watkins and don't have to give up next year's first, or if they move back a few spots and pickup another second and still get martin or ebron, my hat will be off to DW.
  6. Kollege Edukated. I'm going to tweet at him. Heard of a good one. Something about a cat who wears a hat and gets into all sorts of wacky, mischievous adventures.
  7. We shall see. Something tells me Doug Whaley isn't the type who worries too much about playing it safe. If a guy is there who he thinks is the truth, at any position, I bet he pulls the trigger.
  8. Totally agree. I saw that mainly on the defensive side of the ball. I hope that attitude continues without Mike Pettine at the helm. Still bitter about losing that guy. Schwartz will have almost all the same guys back (except Byrd) plus some healthy additions. This will be a telling season for me of how much coaching and coordinators particularly mean to our team. We already saw how much they improved from Wanny to Pettine. Hope Schwartz is a guy they rally behind also. And I hope EJ and the entire offense are less timid and play like Mario, Kyle, Kiko and Co. But agreed, saw a lot of improvement in attitude and getting after it this past year. That's gotta continue to grow.
  9. Then it could create 22 Terminators to sign as free agents and we'd win the Superbowl? Ok, changed my mind. Trump's hair can be the owner.
  10. Glad to see this. It's encouraging, and I hope his teammates are buying in. IMO the biggest thing the Bills have been missing over the years is that killer instinct that comes when you have absolute confidence in yourself and in your teammates. Seems like so many times we would be up by a score and we just needed to put that one more on the board to put it away, but we couldn't go for the throat and we'd let the other guys back in the game. Or we'd be rallying, within striking distance, and we'd almost realize that we were about to go for the win and we'd blow it. Great teams know how to capitalize on those moments when they're in front of them and go for the win, not just being happy that it's close. Really hope EJ is that guy who will lead that attitude, and we see more games like the Jets at home last year. We got up, and we stayed up. The Jets made a play, and we responded and shoved it down their throats on the next play. The defense would make a big play in a sack or turnover, and the offense would immediately respond and score. When the team knows how to take advantage like that with offense and defense complimenting each other and building off each other, going for the throat when the other guys are on their heels, that's how you dominate football games. Again, here's to hoping EJ can help rebuild that winning attitude!
  11. I think a patch will probably do the trick. The blacked out jersey does look hard though, but I agree that Ralph's passing isn't the reason to wear one. The players are there to play the game, not attending the funeral. It would seem a little off color if you ask me. No pun intended. They probably wouldn't wear two patches in the same season, but I think it would be cool if something is done to show support for JK. I guess it doesn't have to be on the uni's, but I hope the stadium has some "KellyStrong" signs or something along those lines. I think the "(insert city/individual/cause here)Strong" mantras are a little cliched at this point, but some type of sign of support would be cool.
  12. Well. Hope not. Just thinking about it... wouldn't that be an awfully awkward 7-10 years if the team played in Buffalo while JBJ prepared to move them? Wonder what those seasons would look like... hope I don't have to see it.
  13. I'm really glad I looked at this thread now. This was by far the funniest thing I read all afternoon. idiots.
  14. I could never ditch the Bills just because of an owner. I dislike a lot of people's politics, but I'd be hard pressed to find someone I abhorred enough to make me abandon the team. Maybe the Koch brothers. Not just a loud mouth sideshow of a presidential candidate. Go Bills forever.
  15. I believe being the first international owner in NFL history is the kind of groundbreaking thing to put him in the spotlight he might desire. Of course he's going to say he wants to keep them in Buffalo now, because he's smart enough to realize, as most on here have pointed out, that he's locked into Buffalo for at least 7-10 years regardless. Yes he'll make money in Buffalo, but he'll make more money elsewhere. A whole lot more. Again, as many have pointed out in previous threads, when you factor in more than just ticket sales (TV revenue, marketing/merchandising profitability, etc), Buffalo comes up just about dead last in terms of overall profitability and national exposure. But as you say, it still makes a ton of money, so it wouldn't be much of a risk to move anywhere else, because every NFL team makes that much $. Pretty sound idea to make a lot more money by moving actually. I'm not in his head though, so who knows. I just feel his tune may change after 7 years, especially if we haven't won or at least gone to a superbowl in that time. I can see where some of his big time persona may be a plus for the franchise, and I can also see where it would be a major negative. I could see this guy growing to hate Buffalo and Bills fans. Again, pure conjecture. On a selfish note, I'd really rather not have my NFL team universally despised by my friends and coworkers because of who the owner is. Where I work and live, it's safe to say the Donald is universally legitimately disdained or just though of as a complete joke. At least now they usually want to cheer with me for the underdogs! If we sucked AND were hated as bad as good teams that have earned haters... well I guess that wouldn't be shocking luck in the life of a Bills fan, actually.
  16. Have to agree here. Just can't see him wanting to keep a team in WNY. When the time was right, he'd look to make the move. Whether to LA, Toronto, London, etc because it would be the biggest, hugest, most luxurious franchise in the NFL, and he'd want it in the biggest, hugest, most statement making city it could be. And as far as day to day business of how the team/organization is run, promoted, marketed, etc... You think Ralph was a meddling owner? Think about this guy for just another minute...
  17. Agreed completely with no O lineman at 9 in this draft. Find that talent in later rounds. Mike Williams... never again!
  18. He thinks the biggest obstacle to getting the Bills to move to Toronto is the welfare of the Argonauts? Wow. Can you get more pompous that that? I think there are more than a few people in Buffalo, the state of New York, and the United States of America who want to keep the Bills here for maybe just a few other reasons that might prove bigger obstacles to his dream.
  19. Wow. I haven't posted on here since the season. Probably check out the conversation once a month or so. But for some reason, I neglected work for most of the day today, before this happened, reading up on all the conversation I've been missing. Must have been on here for a reason. RIP Ralph and Prayers for JK
  20. My goodness everyone is angry. If they did this to you, you would try and beat them up... really? Theyre putting a foam ball in a net above your head, barely touching you. But especially if you were with your wife, youd be so disrepsected that you would have no choice but to physically assault a 20 year old. Thats probably true for a lot of bills fans, and thats the biggest problem with our stadium, fans, games. Everyone always thinks everything is an insult and wants to fight to prove how tough they are. No one is buying it. Just makes us look like neandrathals. Thank goodness the other teams fans in the video have a sense of humor and dont try to flex nuts by fighting pr instigating. Again, i reserve that this is hilarious, and i hope i see this in action next season.
