  1. Sadly this has to happen with the Patriots in our division but this needs to be said.....Tom Brady is not only the equal of Joe Montana but he may be on his way to becoming the best ever. Poised, unshakeable, deadly accurate, and tough as anyone. This kid is unbeatable in the clutch. From a pure football fans point of view, Brady is almost flawless. Everyone always says that Brady is good but he's a product of the system. No, he really is that good. Philly is in for a tough night.

  2. Good for you Bro!!!!

     

    Stay strong and be proud that you've finally done it. I've been 11 months without a smoke and its sooooo much better being smoke free.

     

    Do I still think about having one?.....Yes, but the ugre is so small now I hardly notice it.

     

    Stick with it!

  3. Boy oh boy. If Howard is many peoples pick for a good sports talk host than this city needs an education. Howard was a good balance when that maniac Dickerson was a ranting irrational idiot, but Howie is just so unentertaining that its painful.

     

    Attempts at humor fail at once and his supposed "insights" are nothing more than the obvious generalizations I hear in the upper deck. By the way, whose the preschooler on with him?

     

    Hey Howard, why dont you kill a few MORE minutes reading e-mails. Vapid and banal.

  4. Wow....a real bummer for those who loved hearing Joe from NYC overnight but also good for Joe. His opening rants rank right up there with some of the most entertaining radio I've ever heard...."y'know, this franchise....."

     

    Chris Carlin is a solid replacement but Joe is the best. WFAN is the gold standard in sportstalk and it shows you how amatuer and lame WGR (yes including Howard) is.

  5. I agree...........is this a playoff team?....no.....but they beat the Jets start to finish yesterday and that should count for something. The D was amazing......Jets had the ball 1st and 5 in the 3rd and went 3 and out......wow. Throw Evans the ball more please OC Clements. They still have some big holes but if they can pull off a win in NE on Sunday......all bets are off on the "lost season".

  6. Lets repeat..........................Brad Riter is a no-talent, moronic, obtuse idiot who has no broadcasting skills but uses plenty of vapid content to mask his total lack of knowledge of sports.

     

    Lets hope the next sound we hear is a truck crossing the center line.......if you get my drift

     

     

     

    If only Buffalo radio knew what good sports talk sounded like........it aint Brad

  7. This really is a silly thread. If you leave a sunny September game thats close with 5 minutes left in the 4th, then you have a point. After all, if your main concern is beating the traffic instead of enjoying the game....then why do you bother going?

     

    But.......if you are sitting in raw conditions like yesterday for about 6 hours (assuming you arrived around 10am to tailgate) and you dont want to stick around to watch two poor teams burn the rest of a blowout game out.....then you have every right to leave. Watching garbage time of the Bills-Cards in a rain soaked cooler does not qualify as being a true fan.

     

    Both teams are lucky we spent the cash to watch them in the first place.

  8. D keeps Curtis Martin from running wild and holds him under 70 yards.....and Pennington shreds secondary with pinpoint passes for 2td's......leads two other drives that result in FG's..........Henry runs well but redzone offense fails...again.......Bledsoe goes from average effort in Pats game to his typical road performance: 5+ sacks 2int and many poor decisions.....late Td in garbage time

     

    Jets 20

    Bills 10

     

    hello 0 and 4

     

    On the bright side....if they win 3-4 games this year hopefully Ralph will fire TD and its back to square one...again

     

     

    Nothing left to do but wait for JP to get healthy and build from there

  9. Well just got home and you beat me to this thread.

     

    Coy Wire had one of the most brutal games I have ever seen a Safety have ever on any level of football.

     

    Bit on play action on a 1 and 30 that resulted in a 1st down.

     

    Got beat again in coverage in 1st half for another big 1st.

     

    Let Graham run right by him for yet another huge 1st down with the Pats backed up in their own endzone in the 3rd.

     

    Goes offside on 4th and 1 and gives the pats a 1st.

     

    Promply gets beat for the go ahead touchdown a play or two later.

     

    Heard him just now pulling in that "A hard playaction makes it tough"...and this gem "things happen so fast in the redzone and he got a step on me"

     

    If the game is too fast maybe you shouldn't be on the field.

     

     

    Let Baker play....I can live with rookie mistakes, not the total lack of talent and mental breakdown that Wire shows every week

  10. Forget about dealing with people holding up tickets on the way in.

     

    Stay at your car and down a few beers until just before kickoff.

     

    Get to the Abbott Road side of the stadium where people cross the street

    and start eyeballing prices around 12:55

     

    You run the risk of miss a few plays but you will find a pair at face.

     

    If your looking for just one seat....follow the same instructions,offer a

    $20 and you'll be in the gates, have a cold overpriced beer in your hand,

    and be seated for kickoff. Trust me, I've done this many, many times before I got seasons.

     

    A game that is on local TV is easy to get into. A game that has 70k+ sold that is blackedout is the one you'll pay dearly to get in.

     

    Wait till just before 1pm....dont panic when you hear the anthem....then lowball them. Or you might get lucky and find some good Bills fan looking to unload a seat cheap because he/she doesn't want to miss the start either. Good luck. Its worth the effort.

  11. 20-3 Pats

     

    Too many 3 and outs for the D to overcome

     

    5+ sacks of Bledsoe....maybe a Matthews sighting in the 4th

     

    Henry run well but Bills get behind early and have to throw thus ending the ground game

     

    Brady with 260+ yard game with 2TD and 0 INT's. Deadly efficient as always.

     

    Coach Bill educates Coach Mularkey

     

    Wish I thought otherwise......here's hoping for a major upset

     

     

    Go Bills

  12. FWIW I just beat the Colts with the Bills on my way to winning SB39 (T.MaGee MVP) and this is how I did it.

     

    Play the Nickel on running downs- As I'm sure you are aware, Manning will pass, pass, pass. Having an extra DB will enhance your coverage. If they run Edge, let him get his yards (within reason) because they will go back to the pass eventually because thats their game.

     

    Use the Blitz judiciously- As evidenced last Sunday @ the Pack, you blitz Manning a lot-you lose. QB trap is a safe zoneblitz to use.

     

    The idea is to prevent the big play so use plenty of Cover 2 and Cover 4 on 3rd and long.

     

    Ball control- run the playclock down to 1 or 2 sec especially with the lead.

     

    Dont panic- If they go up early, relax. You are facing the Colts defense not the 85 Bears. Run the ball, pick your spots, chew the clock, and most of all- when your are in the redzone score TD's

     

    Good luck
