    There always are 6 or 10 or 12 kickers with NFL experience (some game experience, but at least significant practice experience) bagging groceries somewhere, staying in shape and practicing their kicking.  When your kicker goes down, you just go sign one of those guys.   

     

    I don't see the need to keep kickers on the practice squad.   Practice squad players are essentially free agents - they can leave any time to take a roster spot elsewhere.   If the Bills have a kicker on their practice squad and almost any NFL team offers him a contract to be on the active roster, he's going.  If the Bills don't have one and they need a kicker, a kicker on someone else's practice squad would take the job in a heartbeat.  

     

     

    The problem become if you lose your kicker on a Saturday and don't have time to sign a guy and clear him through protocols.  You put him on the PS just to get him through protocol in advance.  IMO this NEEDS to happen. Kickers don't matter until they matter.  I don't want to go into a playoff game with no kicker because we didn't both to stash one.

    That's almost worth contacting their archivist just to see if they've digitized a record of it.

    I feel like there is probably a microfilm of it somewhere at a minimum. NY public library would be my starting point.

     

    I'm not sure where you are, but the erie county library downtown has it on microfilm back to 1955 apparently. 

     

    Lots of libraries seem to have it, you can search by zip code.

    Speaking of scoreboards... it's a damn shame that the Aud scoreboard isn't somewhere to see.

     

    Someone told me it fell onto the ice.

    No, that was the original one at the new arena that fell. The old one at the Aud hung there until they demolished the building. I agree that it would be cool to have at least a panel of it somewhere but you don't really realize how big those things are, even the small ones.

     

    The thing I always wanted out of the Aud was the big buffalo medallion that hung in the wall in the main entrance.

    I sat below it many many times in the Batavia party zone. It was the black and gray (white) look you see in some of the photos.

     

    One of my favorite memories of my first Bills game ever attended was the first ever Monday night football game at Rich stadium Bills vs Kansas City circa 1973 . Howard Cosell was there along with dandy Don Meredith Iconic booth guys from back in the day. Someone took a tantruming kicking his arms and legs baby and put Cosells head on it with a caption that said "You're our Baby Howard" and displayed it on the scoreboard....They showed a picture of he in the booth laughing at it......fun memory.

    Me too, and if the Bills are who we think they are that won't happen because we'll take care of business from next Sunday until then

    Which team are they? The team that is one very unfortunate play from being 8-2 or the team that is two very fortunate plays away from being 5-5?

    Remember that week 17 game he brought the jets to Buffalo and they had to win to get in the playoffs and the bills were playing for nothing and Fitz futzed

    I do. Doesn't mean I want to see him in that situation again. I can't think of a QB in the league who is more of a flip a coin player than him and I'm not interested in having a guy that I know can show up and throw for 400 yards totally out of the blue like he can. I'd rather see a rookie who has never played in that stadium before in what will likely be less than ideal conditions come out and try to win.

    There's a loop hole, here's the entire order....

    They can use face shields, attach them to their helmets. So if you're on the field, with your helmet on, you're good. 

     

     

    So you mean there was hysteria caused by people who chose not to read anything further than the headline and maybe paragraph 1?  I'm shocked.

    Pennsylvania Health Secretary Dr. Rachel Levine announced targeted efforts to stem the surge of new COVID-19 cases Tuesday. Anyone who visits from another state will soon be required to have a negative test within 72 hours before entering the state. If they can't or choose not to get a test, or they're still waiting on results, they have to quarantine for 14 days. 

    The same goes for Pennsylvanians visiting other states. They're required to get a test 72 hours prior to returning or they have to quarantine for 14 days. "We really want people to stay at home, to stay in their household, and not to travel," Levine said.

    The order, which goes into effect on Friday, doesn't apply to people who commute to and from another state for work.

    I don't eat any of that stuff, so my single contribution is to thank the gods that nobody mentioned Pringles.

     

    The single worst product designed for human consumption that was ever invented.

    I went to Turks and Caicos and was amazed at the sheer number of varieties of Pringles they had in the airport that I had never seen before.

    [Jim Harbaugh] The Jets actually interviewed him before hiring Rex in 2009. There were also reports they were interested two years ago. 

    With Michigan 1-2 and going nowhere do you think he jumps ship? Harbaugh and Lawrence? A fan can dream. 

    Jumps ship?  He lost to Michigan St at home again and to Indiana for the first time in 32 years. Ohio St. is going to clean their clocks.  The way it's going he could get fired.
