  1. Well, one of my retirement gifts from the Navy for my wife putting up with me for 20 years was to take her to Jerome Bettis Grill in Pittsburgh.

     

    HANDS OFF A+ place to eat if any of you get into town! (the steaks are GREAT)

     

     

    Jerome was in and saw me sporting my Bills gear so we got to talking.

     

    We talked about Rex and Jerome said the Bills now have a attitude and will win with that. He said Rex is no slouch and will get it done in Buffalo.

     

    I asked about how he felt how close the Bills are and he said like everyone else. "QB and O-line will do it. They are Seattle in the makings if done right" He loves Bills D and thinks Hughes should be kept (I agreed with him).

     

    We also talked about Buffalos QB situation and he personally knows Whaley from his days in Pittsburgh. He said Whaley is a class act and VERY smart (he said that 3 times over). He said the reason Whaley is up there is because he can get things done.

     

    He also said No way they would of landed Rex without a plan for a QB to step in. Jerome said "watch the trade wire and you will see how smart that man is"

     

    I hope so!

     

     

    He was fantastic and gave me a 8 X 10 signed of him! I refused a military discount (I always do, I dont believe in handouts or freebees for my service) We were invited next week to come in when they do the Jerome Bettis show and got passes for it! I cant wait!

     

     

    That's one hell of a story and it sounds like Bettis is a hell of a guy. Thanks for sharing fellow vet

  2. They are asking on Twitter would you rather sign Revis or Hughes? I think that it is Revis for the system that we will be playing. The pressure will still be there. Obviously I'd like both but if you said pick one it's Revis for me.

     

    But as of right now, we don't know what system we'll be playing, especially if Schwartz stays. If he does stay, and Rex lets him run the defense, we won't need Revis, keyword there being need

  3. I think he is a free agent after this year. He is playing lights out. We could cut Mcelvein loose, and save some $. Rex and Revis love each other and would be scary

     

    Way too much money for a position that's adequate enough with who we have on the roster now. No way I risk losing Hughes and possibly Dareus for Revis, that'd be the ultimate in lose lose

  4. Jerry Bergman's dad Jerry Bergman, made one of the worst calls in the history of the Buffalo Bills. It was so horrific, that Ralph Wilson vowed he'd never officiate another Bills game. Wilson paid a fine for that, but Bergman never did another Bills game.

     

    Here's what happened: The Bills were losing to the Dolphins, I think it was 1975. The were in the midst of a huge comeback, and had cut the lead to 3 or something. Miami had the ball, and Mercury Morris was on a sweep and Tony Greene upended him to the point where he was upside down, about a foot above ground, and the ball bounced loose. The Bills recovered. Bergman not only ruled no fumble (down by contact), but he tossed a 15 yard penalty on Pat Toomay who had apparently elbowed an official as he was trying to recover the fumble. Instead of having the momentum and the ball at about the Miami 25, we were penalized and everybody was so upset, they couldn't focus. Next play Don Nottingham ran up the middle for about 55 yards, and the game was in effect over.

     

    The guy who determined the outcome of the Lions game today is the son of the guy who did that to the Bills. Beauty.

     

    The NFL wanted Dallas to advance. It is worth several hundred million dollars. Nobody gives a crap about Detroit. But everybody in the country either loves the Cowboys, or hates them because they call themselves America's Team, and they have the biggest douchebag owner in the world.

     

    Yeah it's all about money, and I guarantee money was thrown around for a piss poor call like that. I can't imagine even if there were proof of it that anything would be done about it. Honestly, I used to think Jones looked like the biggest moron for an owner til I read about Daniel Snyder. At least Jones gets the best results money can buy.

  5. First I saw of him was in the bowl game on new years day.

    I liked what I saw, definitely.

    Threw for 550 yards, and not his first 500 yard game either.

    If he only had the few picks you say he did, that's cool, because it isn't for a lack of throwing.

    Seems to have good accuracy on short and long throws. If there is a chance, I would even move up a little to try to get him.

     

    Question is what would it take to move up from 50 to an earlier 2nd round pick?

  6. I swear, some elite QB could have thrown for 750 yards on Sunday, and the media would still be all over Manziel's jock like a growth. Down 17 with the defense giving him the middle of the field, he orchestrated a drive that ended up with a TD. Then the second series, it was 4 and out when it should have been 3 and a fumble out. What makes this kid any different than RGIII? Oh his faggy nickname I guess. The Bills let him taste the teeth of the defense but the media seems to forget that. He'll end up nothing more than Beiber wearing a football helmet

  7. This is true desperation. Manziel has no respect for the game. He thinks he's above the game and touts himself as one of the best without having played a single down. Goes out and parties after being drafted in the first round. That's a damn joke in itself. Hell no, let Jerry Jones moronically trade his first for him. I'd sooner have Losman back with Edwards, Hobert, Johnson, Nall and Brohm as the OL
