  1. I agree, if the field isn't playable, cancel the game. It isn't fair to either team to risk any injuries considering the circumstances going into the preseason games. The field here in Orlando was absolutely awful. It was just a matter of time until a little rain fell between the Champs Bowl and the Citrus Bowl games that would cause a problem. The city did address the turf issue here but that stadium is easily in the top 3 worst stadiums in the country, including high schools. It is a toilet bowl and the City of Orlando should be ashamed for dragging their feet on building another one.
  2. I know the Bungles drafted Dalton this year but it really looks like they have set themselves up pretty good to be in the Luck lottery. Time will tell but it sure looks like they are heading there.
  3. I know it's a little early to be asking but does anyone know if any of the games will be streamed live on the internet. I know justintv used to broadcast the games, albeit a lousy picture, but football live nonetheless, but does anyone know if there might be any other sites with the games. I am hoping something on DTV in the 600's will have something but I really doubt it. I just can't wait till Sunday at 7pm, almost 24 hours after the game. I love that football is back uninterrupted.
  4. Trying not to pee on yourself when it's really windy. Always check the wind twice before letting fly, the wind really does shift alot around the tree lines.
  5. Just ask Marcia Brady in New England how he/she likes pressure up the middle. That is how the Giants beat them and that is how the good defenses in the league become the good defenses. They get pressure up the middle, something the Bills haven't consistently had for a long time now. Poz was always getting swallowed up whenever he would rush and when running a 3-4, you need to get pressure from someone up the middle other than your nose tackle.
  6. Langley has the almost the perfect size for a 3-4 DE. I would almost guarantee that he is one of the practice squad players signed to start the season, or he is going to have a mysterious injury in camp which will allow the Bills to "hide" him for a year while he develops.
  7. I am guessing that one of the QB's the Bills were seriously interested in this past draft was Kaepernick(sp) from Nevada. With a couple of the UDFA's from there, my guess would be that they noticed them during scouting trips. Also, with a couple of Florida guys (noticed while scouting Dareus or even Tebow last year) and a few guys from Conference USA, my guess would be that they were scouting someone, QB or other, pretty heavily in that conference too. I could be wrong but the Bills did get a bunch of guys from a fairly small pool of talent, with only a handful of conferences represented in the UDFA's. I like some of the signings and the punter seems quite intriuging.
  8. Ralph is (not) cheap.
  9. I think it was red at one time and that would look pretty good again with the new colors on the field. Hopefully there is a plan in place to do that. They could paint it after the new turf is down since there is a border area around the ring and any spillage won't get on the new turf. I just hope someone at OBD has this in their plans, if not, they should be contacted soon about doing it.
  10. I'm in Orlando too but I would prefer the Bills to stay in Buffalo. I like going there for the games and it would be too hot and uncomfortable here to watch some of the early season games.
  11. Thats some pretty funny stuff. Some guy named Merriman even made the credits.
  12. I have to agree that the jerseys from this site are fantastic for the prices, I have several of them and can't complain at all. I also agree that I am a little skeptical of the first run of these. I am going to wait a few weeks to see what other sellers have to offer but all in all, everything I have received from dhgate so far has been better than expected.
  13. I love that show. I bought the DVD of season 1 and it is absolutely hilarious. There are a lot of scenes on the DVD that didn't make the network for obvious reasons. If anyone hasn't seen this show and plays FF, go out and get the DVD's, you will love it. The Shiva trophy episode with Shiva Kamini has to be one of the best. Great actors and actresses you might have seen as 2nd tier characters on other shows are the headliners on this one. Just some funny sh*t to watch.
  14. Having a dedicated line shouldn't be that hard, as long as you aren't trying to do it 30 minutes before kickoff. Once it's there, all you have to do is move your stuff every weekend and you are set. I don't know your house and patio setup but if it's easier to run a line off an open spot on your LNB right out to the patio, I would suggest that.
  15. Hey Gordio, I would take whatever Fezmid says as gospel when it comes to DTV. He is the local guru around here and he knows everything you need to know about DirecTV. With that said, one thing to consider is dedicating a line from either your multiswitch, the one in the house or the one from the Dish itself and run it to your patio. Then all you have to do every weekend is grab your TV and receiver and set it up outside. I have done the same thing in the past and it works great. I bought a new house last year and had the DTV installer run a dedicated line to a permanent receiver and TV that I have on my patio. Of course, I live in Florida and can get away with it but it's a wonderful thing. I haven't watched a Bill's game indoors in about 4 years now and this past season, I was able to watch a majority of them from my pool which is awesome. Good luck with the setup and contact Fezmid if you run into problems.
  16. Thanks Jay. I just sent an email to a friend of mine that gets me my tickets every year to see if he can get me my 6 again. Hopefully there hasn't been a lot of people buying up tickets to games that might not happen and there some decent seats left.
  17. I got this off of the Bills website: Bills individual game tickets will tentatively go on sale in late July. My link If individual game tickets went on sale to season ticket holders, there isn't anything mentioned on the site about it. Well, not that I saw anyway. I do already have my airfare for the home opener weekend so I hope tickets go on sale soon, if there is a season of course.
  18. This might be a stupid question, considering I am not a season ticket holder and live out of town, but didn't the Bills change the opening of the stadium lots last year to 9am? If so, wouldn't that mean that they are now opening at 10am? For some reason, I seem to remember my buddy that gets me my tickets, saying that the lots opened last year at 9. I don't know.
  19. If you met your wife at a Bills game, you might be a Bills fan
  20. I don't know when but I would guess that they are probably going to try something in the next couple of weeks just to smooth over the fact that that is when they start selling individual game tickets. They probably need some sort of promotional event to "wag the dog" with the CBA debacle. Someone mentioned in another post that since the players are not permitted to have anything to do with the team until the CBA is straightened out, the Bills might consider bringing in some former players to model the new uniforms, which would be a fantastic idea. Just wondering if the older players would do something like that since it would be sort of crossing some imaginary picket or union brotherhood line.
  21. I realize that but they have McGee, Poz and Evans on the main page for $20. Probably just a coincidence but those are 3 players that might not be here next year too. Anyway, it's a pretty good sale on the throwback jerseys regardless. It also looks like they are going to keep the white throwbacks and eliminate the blue ones, which is good.
  22. Check out the prices on the jerseys. I know they have a Spiller jersey listed here also but it is only one size. The other jerseys are for players that might or might not be with the team next season depending on how everything shakes out with the new CBA. Regardless, there is a fire sale going on here with the jerseys, and possibly the players. Who knows. http://www.shopthebills.com/Buffalo-Bills-Jerseys/Royal-Blue-NFL-Jerseys.aspx Just an update: I looked further into the sale and they also have a Fitz jersey for the same price. I am guessing that they are looking to unload overstock to make room for the new product hopefully coming soon.
  23. Am I the only one that thinks that Aaron Williams might end up being the best pick of this draft? Sure Dareus is going to be a star but I really think that Williams has serious potential to fall into an elite status when people talk of all time great DB's. The pre-draft show on NFLN with Williams and Prince A. showed alot of what we are in for with this kid. I could be wrong but I think the reason that the Bills didn't move out of that pick was the fact that Williams was still on the board and Buddy probably didn't expect him there. He has some serious talent and if Texas was even remotely considered for a shot at the national title, he would have been a much much higher pick. In reference to Bill from NYC's assessment of the draft, I have to agree that this might be the first draft that was handled from top to bottom by people that have worked in some capacity with football for a better part of their lives. I am sure Mr. Wilson was aware of everything going on regarding who was going to be picked and what potential trades were offered, but it does appear that he has stepped back and let football people run his football team, probably for the first team. Thank you Mr. Wilson.
