  1. I laughed out loud, then I thought, wait, for ten years our best, most famous player, was the punter. This could end up not being a joke.
  2. The win on the road in Chicago followed by the sale of the team makes this an amazing week, so how will we remember the game? So is this game going to be remembered as the "Jackson Stiffarm Game" or the "Kyle Williams Interception Game?" I think it's the "Jackson Stiff-arm Game." But maybe there's a another great game name out there? Here's the question for the whole Bills universe: NAME THE GAME!
  3. Loved the stiff arm. My son and I were running around the house like crazy people. I haven't had much to really point to these last few years to inspire my young brood of potential fans. That was epic, classic Buffalo. Old guy. Underdog. Underrated. Hard working. Runs the ball in OT down the safety's throat, no stepping out of bounds, no retreat. Nothing fancy. And Conte is on his Butt. I still Jackson scored on the play. How beautiful, regardless. This is a great day to be in Bill's Nation. So is this game the "Jackson Stiffarm Game" or the "Kyle Williams Interception Game?" Maybe that's a good question for the whole Bills universe.
  4. It is so frustrating that we have missed on a qb all these years. As everyone knows, the qb position flips everything. The Bills front office, the Bills record, even the image of our city is flipped by one man at one position. I wish we would get it right! All the analysis comes down to looking at that one position. Right now, we look awful, and management looks stupid, and the coaches terrible, unless EJ turns a corner...put Brady on the Bills and we are a 2 seed. Give EJ to the Pats and they probably miss the playoffs. If Orton or EJ are average, we finish in the middle, maybe sneak into the playoffs with nine wins. It's that simple, and that's all the main stream guys are good for, even though they like to dress up their conclusions like they are well thought out. Here's the qb situation; here's the narrative; and everyone says the same thing. Who couldn't do that? I miss the X's and O's the commentators used to give us. The talking heads these days are talking to the masses of the uninformed. They have so little to offer. The bottom line probably wouldn't change much, but at least I'd enjoy the conversation.
  5. Joe B. is very good for X's and O's, watches a lot of film, and really digs into the nitty gritty. Last year his week by week positive verse negative plays for each Bill was remarkable. He is my favorite by far, and I wish he was better spoken and had more exposure, but he's a kid and will only get better (if we can keep him). I think Gaughan is a better writer and is much better spoken, and Gaughan comes with more exposure and credibility. I do think Gaughan does a good job with the bigger picture. The guys in Rochester like Sal and Catalana do well, too. And I still like Matthews on Wham1180. At the bottom of the list is Jerry Sullivan. Sully is way too negative and arrogant for me. I'm negative enough just looking at the field every Sunday. Listening to him is like sitting in a bad movie, trying to watch it anyways (since you paid the ten dollars for a ticket and popcorn), with the guy next to telling you how bad the movie is over and over again. Hey, I get it, but let me watch it. Okay, I'm an idiot and you're the enlightened critic; just shut up already! I hope Sully writes long enough to have his beloved Pats switch places with Buffalo, at least for a season or two. Brady can't play forever, right? 1. Joe Bascaglia 2. Mark Gaughan 3. The Rochester Bunch 1,000,000. Jerry Sullivan (with his hand in my popcorn)
  6. Anyone know anything about Pegula's oldest children and their mother? What is the long term family history?
  7. Here's who should be color commentating the game to keep it interesting:
  8. Its' bad, but I don't think its that bad, Mr. Chicago. We are like a kitchen fully stocked with ingredients and prepped with pots, pans, and commercial ovens, but no cook. We have a good team, but a QB in over his head. Maybe its confidence? Maybe its ability? But EJ looks inadequate. I hope beyond hope we have enough of a running game to cover for his weaknesses. Maybe he can grow into the role. If I lived in Chicago, I only wish I would be strong enough not to watch the BIlls. I'm an addict; addicted to hope, that seems to be all the team is pushing the last 14 years.
  9. Funny. Some of you all make me laugh out loud. I read his tweet too. Right on. I was there with my family tonight, and my kids were so disappointed by the zero points in the first half. How is the team going to win fans of the future? My kids want to root for the Bills, they do, because they see me rooting, but they have to do more than whine about their fans when THEIR PERFORMANCE IS POOR, especially when fans are paying for to watch the game. I want my kids to be Bills fans. I want to cheer for them! I don't want to boo, but what are we supposed to do?
  10. Schopp has changed over the years. He has gotten more negative. Covering the Bills wasn't his ultimate life goal I think, and he seems like he drags listeners through his own personal midlife crisis. He has had a couple of shots with Espn and, he leaked that he saw Buffalo as a stepping stone, back in the day when he took over for the coach. I could be wrong, but what I hear in drubs and drabs is a bitter guy who thinks he is always smarter than everyone else in the room. I think he has some great ideas, and back when he was in Rochester, I listens to him religiously, now I tune in hoping he is on another vacation. Joe Buscaglia is my favorite. His articles on WGR are NFL scout like. He is a smart young guy with a lot of potential. He seems to get it. Capacio is the nicest guy on GR, but I like the Bulldog. If Schopp weren't such a grumpy old man, he'd be better. If he want a jerk, I could handle more of him. I don't need to have unicorns and rainbows everyday, but Everyone who calls the show isn't an idiot. Just my opinion.
  11. Anyone have a clip of BJ on the Giant's sideline? A link to youtube? That could go viral really fast.
  12. This is funny and probably right on.
  13. We have been terrible on short yardage...couldn't Timmy get those yards?
  14. I still root for that Guy. What an excellent human being.
  15. I dont think not signing Tebow is smart or dumb, but it will look foolish to the rest of the league. I don't think the Bills will do it because of the non-football side of it. As for the football side, purely from an on the field football standpoint (Tebow would be a distraction) I don't know how anyone could think Jeff Tuel could be a better backup then Tim Tebow. Plus, Tebow could give us the opportunity to come up with some offensive packakges. As long as we have terrible quarterbacks, conservative offenses paired with good defense is the way to go. Limit the turn overs with fewer passes and play aggressive D. The strategy helped the Jets to two AFC title games. Tebow could be a part of that, maybe a small part, but why not try something, anything that goes against the grain. Tebow. No punts. Drafting 3 QBS every year. My son is 14 and has never seen a Bills playoff game that wasn't recorded!
  16. I think Doug Whaley's decision since Mr. Wilson's passing are geared toward the current administration and coaches keeping their jobs. Obvious, right? Well, I think that means they have focussed on (1) winning, (2) improving talent, and (3) making sound decisions that would be respected around the league. The bosses swinging for the fences on Sammy was a calculated risk to 3 to achieve 1. I don't think they will step out of their comfort zone and risk being or looking foolish when it does little to help us win. Tebow will be a nonstarter. I thought going for Sammy was so awesome because it was that kind of out of the box--I don't care how it makes us look--decision, but then they come out and say they just want to "win" like every one else, not "win now." They are TOO CONCERNED about how they look, and the team really needs to do more to swing for the fences after a decade and a half! Tebow would be a good sign of unconventional thinking, especially if they built plays or packages for him. If anyone could help lead our team to old-fashioned 3 yards and a cloud of dust victories on the back of good defense it would be Tebow and our stable of running backs. Anyways.....
