So which is it USPS or UPS
-
Is their anyone here that received your tickets without be emailed from the Bills ?
-
I called them again. Their very non committal with their answers. Before it was by
August 7th. Now they really had no answer. So I asked when should I be concerned. She said if I don't receive them by the 14th...WTF. I even asked If I could pick them up but was turned down. My only hope is they come today without the email.
-
I like them better than the old ones. But I still hate the Bills road uni's.
-
That sounds like me except I check the mail box. Where are those freakin season tickets. They better be here by the weekend. They have no problem taking your money in March . Its six months later and they can't get the tickets out on time.
-
They are taking longer the last few years. I guess they want to sell as many season tickets as possible.
-
We must be getting pretty close...like maybe this week.
-
What a sham. Try to give The Sens the game. And nothing called on the big goon.
I can't stand this team. I despise Murray for the head hunting on Connolly.

OK, OK.....I have cooled down a bit. Even though I thought the pick was too high, I still like the player.
Here is the thing....Whitner works out with Fletcher and Spikes. They rave about the guy's work ethic and for his desire.
He is ALWAYS around the football. He can make plays.
He is solid in run support. He hits hard and is a strong tackler.
He is fast. He runs around 4.36 so he can stay with even the best receivers.
He can cover TEs one on one.
He plays with a mean streak!
His only real weakness is his size. He is only 5'11". So, he will have a little troubel with the taller receivers, however, he does have a 40" verticle leap. So, he can make up for his lack of height in that way.
The big thing, and I think the reason he was drafted by the Bills is this....HIS ATTITUDE! He is a "FOOTBALL PLAYER." I know that gets over used, but it is true with this guy.
While I still think it might be a bit high, I think he is a solid player and will be our SS for many years to come.
Also, it doesn't hurt that Spikes and Fletcher love the guy. Nobody has a better work ethic than they do. So, if you like and respect those guys, don't be too upset with Whitner.
I think he will be a good fit for this team.
Where did you find that Spikes and Fletcher love the pick...thanks

How did you do that ? When I searched it didnt show up. But there are events .
Im not sure why there not posted.
-
Im looking for tickets to the Niagara Falls Memorial Arena for an event. I checked tickmaster and that venue is not listed. Does anyone know an honest company to
purchase tickets from for that arena...thanks !!!

Would the Bills carry 4 QB's on the roster or do you think someone will get released or traded. I would think a trade would have to take place before the draft
pick....but stranger things have happened.

Here's one of him going with the 28th pick.

I love the first round pick. I would only like this one just as much.
-
-
Im throwing in my two cents. Its Bill Cower that is the difference. He could lose
coordinators ever year . The teams that take them think there getting the next rising star coach...But its Cower that makes things tick period.

My father in law lives way out in the country. He is on the computer 24/7 using
a dial-up modem. The problem is we can never get through on the phone.
And he refuses to get another phone line. Is there any software that I can hook up,
so he could be online and get calls through his computer at the same time.
Thanks for your help...this is pissing us off that we can't get through.

A router, 50 ft cat5 cable, camcorder. digital camera, lap top, all the chargers and batteries that go with them. I just don't want to try and board the plane and run into problems....thanks !!!

Thats not it either...its suppose to say this:
Why Dick Jauron will never be a successful NFL coach
Dec 13, 2005 | 4:53PM | report this I sort of feel bad for Dick Jauron. I think his biggest fault while he was here in Chicago was that he wasn’t Mike Ditka. He didn’t yell and scream on the sidelines. He didn’t try to become a “Chicago guy”. He was just a nameless, faceless coordinator when the Bears hired him to try and steer the “Good Ship Wannstedt” back into placid waters. He was Coach of the Year in Chicago in 2001, in a year that looks more and more like an aberration, the more data you stack up against it. Even we hard-core Bears’ fans would admit, “we got every bounce” during the 13-3 season which lead to a playoff loss to the Eagles in the divisional round.
I mentioned in yesterday’s blog that I felt Detroit made enough mistakes on the Sunday night game to fill up the Internet. That might be a slight exaggeration, but I want to show this sequence of plays at the end of regulation. It’s sequences like these that maddened Bears’ fans and may explain why Jauron may not be a head coach again:
(Note: the time and result of each play is from nfl.com’s “full play-by-play” feature)
3-16-GB 31: (1:59) B. Favre right end to GB 38 for 7 yards.
Analysis: Okay, the game is tied at 13, and the Lions have stopped the Packers. They're punting. Are the Lions going to take a shot at winning the game, or are they just going to run the clock out and try for overtime? Seems to me that given the circumstances, I would take a shot for overtime. You’re on the road and the 13-3 lead you had in the first half is gone. Samkon Gado is gashing your run defense, and you don’t have an answer on offense. The longer this game goes, the greater advantage to Green Bay, in my opinion.
4-9-GB 38: (1:13) B. Sander punts 36 yards to DET 26. R. McQuarters to DET 30 for 4 yards. Penalty on DET-S. McHugh, Illegal Block Above the Waist, 10 yards, enforced at DET 30
Analysis: Forty-six seconds ticked off the clock, so the strategy appears to be to run out the clock. I don’t agree with it, but at least there’s a discernible strategy. I also don’t think R. W. McQuarters is a very good defensive back, but he’s a dangerous punt returner. Yet he never gets the chance here because one of his guys threw a block in the back. Not good discipline.
1-10-DET 20: (1:02) A. Pinner pushed out of bounds at DET 24 for 4 yards.
Analysis: If you’re trying to run out the clock and play for overtime, why are you calling running plays that have a chance to get knocked out of bounds?
2-6-DET 24: (:56) A. Pinner right guard to DET 31 for 7 yards.
Analysis: Detroit picks up a first down. So now you’ve atoned for your mistake in going out of bounds on the previous running play. You can run the clock out and play for overtime. But wait…Detroit calls time out?! Getting a first down is now making Jauron think, “Hmm, maybe we can get into field goal range after all.” It’s this type of thinking that drove Bears’ fans nuts. Dick, you already laid out your strategy by letting 46 seconds tick off the clock before Green Bay punted to you, and now you’re changing your mind mid-stream? You're at the 31. It's going to take a few plays to get into field goal range.
1-10-DET 31: (:45) J. Garcia pass incomplete to S. Vines.
Analysis: So now you’ve switched over to actually trying to win the game in regulation. You’re in no-man’s land right now. You don’t exactly have the Colts’ offense, and you’re asking them to move about 40-45 yards in :45 seconds. Not impossible, but again, why didn’t you just decide to do this in the first place? Then you’d have 1:30 on the clock, not :45.
2-10-DET 31: (:40) J. Garcia pass incomplete to R. Williams
Analysis: Now that’s two straight incompletions, and you’re facing 3rd and 10. Now you’re REALLY in no-man’s land. Can you get a first down, or are you going to flop back to running out the clock?
3-10-DET 31: (:37) S. Bryson right tackle pushed out of bounds at DET 37 for 6 yards.
Analysis: Pushed out of bounds without getting the first down?! Now you have to give the ball back to Green Bay with about :30 on the clock.
So to summarize Detroit’s strategy: they were playing for overtime. Then they got enough yards in their minds to start playing for the win in regulation. Then they had a couple of incompletions and decided most of the way through to go back to playing for overtime. Then they couldn’t run out the clock, so they had to give the ball back to Green Bay. This happened all in the span of 25 game seconds, mind you.
This is Jauron’s legacy. He’s like a Texas Hold’em player who won’t bet big until he’s sure he has the best hand. The problem is, by that point, most of the players have left the pot, and your chance to score big winnings has gone out the window. Oh, sure, you’ll still win a little bit, but not nearly as much as if you’d decided up front that you were going to be aggressive. And it’s why he never was, and never will be, a big winner as a coach.
