  1. I always found his extensive research very informative especially at draft time. Last year he was on Buffalo Rumbling but I haven’t seen him this year He’s missed!!
  2. I think the patsies will be much better Maye will have more experience, they have a lot of good young players and a bushel of money for free agents. They will have a much harder schedule and lose a few more games but they will be a problem
  3. Lookie, lookie here comes Cookie😀😀
  4. You are correct as far as I recall. I didn’t mean to make my history as a fan a point of discussion or doubt in my post. You are also correct about the number of teams and one of the arguments revolved around scheduling difficulties. I was 13 or 14 and I spent several days (before computers!) making what I deemed to be a workable schedule and that was what I sent to Bert Bell—no response!! So I have always been a fan of whatever league or conference the Bills were in.
  5. If this article is true and Beane is as bad as Adams was, let’s hope that Guelli fires Beane!
  6. I think we agree. My point is the man behind the curtain is likely to have been Guelli. Pegula said in his press release that they had to make changes in the structure of the leadership— as they already have with the Sabres. This is likely the first, but not the last change in structure of the Bills leadership.
  7. I think there was a team in the 30’s but that was a different league.The AAC was started afterWW2. It folded, I think, in 1949 and some of its members were admitted to the NFLbutnot the Bills. As a teenager I was infuriated and wrote a letter to Bert Bell, the commissioner. Bill Mazur found about this and read my letter on his WGR sports program.
  8. That is right. See my response above.
  9. See my above comment The Buffalo Bills existed in 1948. George Ratterman from Notre Dame was our QB Otto Graham and Lou the Toe Groza were Browns stars along with Marian Motley
  10. My Dad took me to my first Bills game in 1948 Bills vs Browns in the old AAC — we lost of course
  11. Terry Pegula is getting older with a huge number of things on his plate He recently hired Guelli to be responsible for the Sabres And Bills. Adams is fired. The Sabres explode to the upside. Seattle, the Bears and the Pats have great years with new coaches. McD originally was deeply involved in hiring Beane. This structure is the opposite of nearly all NFL teams. Mc’d is a defensive minded coach favoring a bend but don’t break. The Bills have become more conservative on offense actually running a ball control offense that ironically is just what that type of defense thrives on. It gets stopped by bad penalty, turnover etc. Despite being overall the best team statistically over the last several years we have to do something to finally win a Super Bowl while we still have Josh. What are the choices? There have been rumors of tension between Beane and Mc’d possibly related to who has more input as to whom we draft. I wonder if Guelli feels that this management arrangement is awkward, upside down and is untenable. We need to make changes to get us over the hump but you might not want to fire the GM with the draft and all the free agent issues looming —but someone has to go—so, we fire the coach, kick the GM upstairs but empower him to stay at least for the season but be responsible for finding a new coach. Then, as president of football operations he might decide to hire a new GM who will be solely responsible for drafting, personnel issues and other solely football issues. Of course this suggests they have complete trust in Beane which could be a huge mistake. Hiring the right new coach will make or break the Bills. We can’t afford to fail while we have Josh and a new stadium to fill. I’ve been a fan for 78 years and I hope I will live to see a Super Bowl title so I pray they have made a difficult but correct decision. However, I must say that I doubt it.
  12. Sabres losing 3-2 late in the 3rd🤬
