  1. Sitting in a car with the keys in the ignition , even if the car is not running, is intent to drive and makes one subject to DUI laws. Not sure how the law works with keyless ignitions. Hop in the passenger side or back seat if you're going to sleep one off. The NFL should force every player to have an Uber/LYFT app and know how to use it.
  2. Watkins, Woods, Harvin just might compliment each other well.... short passes with YAC is what I think they're looking for.
  3. The Draft experts and pundits all had Kouandjio high on the list. Right now he looks like another Bama Bust and appears to just be a meaner Mike Willams. Another highly touted and dominate player whose game and feet didn't translate to the NFL game. You wonder how these so called experts can get it so wrong sometime. Heck of feather in someones cap if they can make him starter in the NFL.
  4. A modest price increase can be justified with out of conference home games with: Houston- a team we lost to last season and JJ Watt Indianapolis- playoff team with Andrew Luck Cincy- Dalton , AJ Green NY Giants - Manning , Beckham Jr and Waterloo, NY native Tom Coughlin Dallas - Romo and the rest of "Americas" team Throw in Rex and the possiblity of a prime time game with Dallas and NE and I doubt it was a long discussion about raising prices. if the away games were our home contests it would have been a less tenable situation. Washington, Phila, KC, Tennessee, Jacksonville ( London) Revenue from price increase will equal less than 1% or what the Pegulas paid to keep the team in Western NY. Yes, we're not digging that much deeper in our pockets espcially compared to major markets.
  5. Didn't expect season ticket prices to go down but it seems they're going up about the amount of the credit for snowed out game.
  6. Banacek and Thomas Crown needed Would have made a great headline... Banacek clears Belicheck or Belichick caught by Banacek storyline for the tv show? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Banacek
  7. Belichick stole this formation from another team possiby Detroit and modified by having a normally eligible number report as ineligible. Deceptive? are shifts, men in motion, tackle eligible plays deceptive or good coaching. Get some d backs that scored over 25 on the Wonderlic, who can count to seven and decide which lineman are covered and uncovered. I don't like the Pats but enjoy creative concepts, bring back the fumblerooski
  8. http://www.buffalonews.com/city-region/can-downtown-handle-60000-fans-20150123 Up to 20,000 by Metro Rail according to the consultant? My fear is parking, espcially that controlled by the Bills. is going to so expensive that only club level and suite owners will be able to park within a reasonble walk. How many of the regional fans want to drive an hour plus only to park at some remote lot and then be hearded into some cattle car and fight ever longer lines on the way out. Contrary to some comments the purpose of tailgaiting is not to get drunk before the game but is to mitigate the cost and committment of attending a game. With the current liquor laws how much business would bars and restaurants do for a Sunday 1PM game?
  9. Hitched his wagon to a guy whose ego trip drove the entire train off a cliff. More concerned with the collateral damage that took down other assistants who don't have Buddy Hacketts q score.
  10. Yeah, but your headline doesn't drive page views.... totally agree it was a tease/ troll attempt headline which in 2015 is the sign of a weak story.
  11. Obviously O Line coach, excuse me Asst Head Coach - Offense, isn't the way Dougie and Jimmy thought this would play out. However it keeps his name in play and if the Jags need a mid season course correction .... St. Doug is in the wings more than willing and somewhat able. If I was with the NSA I would have tapped his phone just to hear every chapter of this story. It's how he left not that he left that bothers this fan. With hindsight it can be argued that once out of the playoffs Marrones goal was to build a resume not the Bills. And that resume along with the opt out clause would lead to a bigger payday if not with the Bills another team. Yes, Dougie get his 4 mill and he doesn't even have to pass go however had he led the team to the 2015 playoffs he would be in line for a contract north of 20 million and that's a lot to leave on the table. Currently a blow to his ego not his pocketbook but if he doesn't find a head job in 2016 he will have to look at other options. FWIW a friend who was in for a big pay day established residency in Florida many months before the transaction officially happened. Concerns about tax laws and anticipatory income.
  12. An open air stadium on the leeward side of Lake Erie? Design would need some big wind screens, RWS is four miles inland...I think it needs a lid on it. Of the 135 million dollar refresh on RWS the State and County put up 95 million of it. I don't know if they want to talk about putting a shovel in the ground for a new stadium at this point. I just hope a new stadium doesn't come with $2000.00 dollar PSL's and huge increases in ticket prices that keeps the average fan from being able to afford it. Enjoy The Ralph while you can, because a new stadium will come with a different game day experience and possibly the loss of the 12th man.
  13. EJ a franchise QB? At this point the only way EJ is going to be a franchise QB is if he buys a Mickey D's . Did Parker promise franchise QB money or the money so the QB could buy a franchise?
  14. On a more serious note. About half of the NFL teams no longer have remote camps opting to use their regular practice facilites instead. Having camp in Rochester helps with the regionalization of the Bills. Approx of 15% of the fans come from Rochester. Camp costs are offset by corporate sponsors. If the Bills ever eschew St John Fisher look for them just to stay home like many others.
  15. With hindsight Doug wrongly calculated that a 9-7 season would give him bargaining power for an extension. I think Pegula was thinking 11-5 gets you the extension and his agent had Doug convinced he would land one the open head job and plus his 4 million from the Bills. Doug Ice T nailed it You think you've made it, you're just a lucky man Guess who controls your destiny, fans But you diss 'em cos you think you're a star That attitude is rude, you won't get far Cos they'll turn on you quick, you'll drop like a brick Unemployment's where you'll sit No friends cos you dissed 'em too No team, no crew, you're through You played yourself... That's right, you played yourself... You played yourself... Yo, yo, you played yourself...
