The BLUES Brothers

My son Loves the Buffalo Bills because his ol' man (and his Grandfather, Uncles ) have Always Loved Buffalo Bills... Going to a game annually through his School years, watching Games every weekend obviously helped us bond. A lot of kids in his school would like whoever was in the Playoffs but he is dedicated to our Buffalo Bills as hard as we know that can be... We take him to College this weekend. I plan on telling him to get a good education, enjoy the ride and be responsible. However I am asking if any Dads out there (or sons who received good advice) could share some wisdom so I can make sure I make the most of the teachable moments on the Ride to College. I would understand if this topic gets closed or removed - but I am sincere about getting insight from some of the smart, witty, caring fellow Bills fans out there.

Obviously he won't be giving away any secrets - but as a VET QB - I guess I'd like some insight on how he feels our OL is gelling, how our Offensive Strategy compares with other Teams he has played for - and why he feels EJ should start ha ha. I was on a road trip when Bills picked him up and Sirius Radio interviewed him and he was pretty cool, humble and sounded genuinely happy to be with the Bills ~ I'll bet it will be a Good Interview!

Gotta Love Football Fans that have Class like the AFC Cousin visiting from Lake Erie. Well Wishes for the Regular Season ~ Especially since we don't play each other :-)

Great Post!!!

I like your take and also want to see EJ make the team. I was at The Ralph at an NFL Event the night he was drafted so want to see the 1st Rounder make it right. He worked hard the off season and has more upside than Matt, the King of the Cassel, who is a Great Game Manager but lacks the Spark of our younger QBs. Also - WGR was reporting Cassel's overall TD to Interception ratio looks good but is skewed by success from earlier years - has not done as well recently. At any rate - its only Pre Season but I was happy how hard they played, got a win, especially with so many Skill Players down.

Just wanted to say Thank You for that Awesome Report! Glad to hear we are Clicking!! Go Bills!

I'm in 50s so I remember him going from 2nd fiddle (fullback) to Starter and he was an Exciting Runner. RIP and Thoughts And Prayers for his Family.

Hope it was a Good One for all the Fellow Dad's ~ ...only 320 days until Mothers Day

I was surprised by Hogan"s ability too! I didnt know but Makes sense he is a good golfer. Back in hey day of 90's I was at a charity gof tournament and Steve Tasker could Crush the ball - those guys know how to leverage golf swing and an edge on the field. Boobie Dixon seemed to be buddy buddy with Everyone including Rex. The autographed helmets started at $200 and went for $600 each. I hope Shady's Charity made a nice pile tonight!

May be a short n sweet thread but Great Crowd in Rochester for this Charity Event softball game. Hogan battled Jerry Hughes in the pre game Home Run Derby and Hogan just edged him out The Crowd reaction for Shady, Rex and Thurman were So Loud !! I bought signed shirts by Darby, and Tyrod Taylor in Silent Auction and met Sammy Watkins at a meet n greet All the Players were excellent! I know it's not their Day Job but it made for an entertaining night. All players were awesome.

I think it is Awesome that your Grandson spent time to intro you to this - it is a very Good Place to be with your "Bills Brotherhood" ( Hey I like the sound of that...) . At any rate - I'm 50 and so have grown up with an engrained happiness for beating any team but especially whenever we beat the Dolphins - who is you favorite arch enemy, Howard? Go Bills!

After Watching most of 1st Round without seeing "The Bills Are On The Clock", I have changed my mind on the "I'd be ok with a Trade Down " scenario ... Now - I really now hope/want the Bills to make a selection at 50!

I agree - you'd think these guys have to realize it is the Fans of the Team listening to the show. I hate the Dolphins - but I am not going to tune into a Miami Radio station to try and catch them talking smack about their local team.

Rochester Radio station s having a party for 1st round with give aways. It's the only thing that has me excited about Round One this year. I was lucky enough to have Won a signed Robert Woods helmet during Thursday night game party at bar last year so will try my luck with them again. Friday night will be watching ESPN/, listening to WGR then looking up all I can on our Picks - It is a little like Christmas Morning to me opening new gifts - hoping they Fit & play well. Saturday AM - going with my brother ( new Season Ticket Holder) and my son for a Bills sponsored Draft Party at Ralph Wilson Stadium in the Field house. Rex is supposed to show & we'll try and take pics. Go Bills!

Although I am a die hard Bills Fan - when I attend games with family or friends and I am seated close to a jersey wearing fan of the opponent - I usually go out of my way to say hello, find out from where they traveled, wish them a good season ("except for today";-) and keep it light hearted since we are Ambassadors of the Bills and feel that good Karma has helped us to win the last 4 games I have attended. As for The Packers - to me, they seem like a great out of town 1st cousin to the Bills and I have a lot of respect for the franchise and their dedicated Fans. Amazing and impressive that Coach Lombardi is still well deservedly respected and quoted to this day. (Ironically - My son recently applied to the Vince Lombardi College Scholarship). Would love to see your Psychic Super Bowl scenario Mr. Ice Bowl 67! I may even would want that future guess more than you sharing next week's weeks Lottery Numbiz!

This Rochester Dad is happy to say our son just accepted to Niagara University and we will want 2 tix! Potentially 4 if I can get the Wife and daughter to join us and why wouldn't they? Nothing like a Home Opener in September! I still remember how Electric last year's Opener was with the Win after Chicago, Jim Kelly's Healthy Report and The Pegulas stepping up!

I had to laugh since it happened to me too... Just in from a little after work fun and Happy to see the Progress! If this works out - I will always associate St. Patrick's Day with Clay-Watch 2015! I have been glued All The Time too ~ On Two Bills Dive constantly (seen all of the 40+ pages), listening to WGR constantly from here in Rochester and listening on NFL stations while traveling last Wed-Friday in NY, MA and CT on Sirius constantly. Please sit back down dolphin fans (all 86 of you regulars in the sun life stadium) ... Thanks Mr. Whaley, Coach Rex and Cheers My Bills Brother Fans - & Go Bills!!

When the text arrived My initial reaction right at the dinner table was Nooooooo! and my son chimed in ~ We are Big Kiko Fans (who isn't?!) But I may need to admit that McCoy would be The Best RB since Thurman and if he can do what Thurman did with catching and running - it could, as outlined above, really improve our Team. Isn't that and Winning what its all about? I already miss The Legend but Go Bills!

I understand he also had what looked like "BILLS" tattooed on his pecker ...and yet actually when he gets excited - it reads: "Buffalo Is League Leader in Sacking the quarterback!" ...was going to do something with future Super Bowl wins but figured he IS a defensive minded guy...) Go Bills!

I met Mr. Talley when at a Golf event in Orlando. We sat at last two stools at the bar the bar for 45 minutes - he was sharing stories with me and I was totally in awe. As I left - I felt I was in Heaven meeting one of my football idols from the Great Teams I watched weekly and read about daily. His character was a both Genuine and humble. He even had shared his cell# and I would text him for a couple years after we met (I did not over do it - just a funny text, a picture of the Home crowd, and recently when Andre made the Hall. He would always reply in a great way. I lost my phone in April and losing Pictures on the phone was awful-and it also stung losing the cell # of #56. ( I know I should have backed it up -never thought I'd lose it) but my point is - you hear how sometimes Star Players are awful in person - Mr. Talley was Awesome!
