Question for you: Why is you main color green when most cheese is yellow? Green (mold) on yellow (cheese) I would understand.
Maybe it has to do with the name of the city.

Can you imagine what kind of precedent this would set? Any time a business wants to move, the municipality could seize its assets. There's no chance of this happening.

Not just work.......first day of work with new boss.
He spoke with the boss. It's not like Marshawn, who had no contact with the new coach whatsoever (until mandatory minicamps started), skipped ALL the voluntary workouts, and gave no reason.

I guess it's time to start dressing up. #CBS
In a statement, CBS says it is discussing with Phil Simms his future role, confirms Tony Romo will be lead game analyst. End of another era.
Tony needs a tie and a razor.

No interception jokes yet?
I'm saving mine for when Cutler retires.

I think Tyrod is one of those quiet lead by example guys. He's first man in every morning for workouts, year round and takes his job seriously. That's what you look for in a captain.
He's definitely a leader by example, but he's not always quiet. I remember one game last season when a lineman was about to get flagged for unsportsmanlike conduct - Tyrod got in his face, talked him down, and saved us 15 yards.

I was more concerned about what Rex would change on our defensive scheme. As it turned out, my concerns were valid.
With that said, I feel more optimistic this year.
-
He's on the Wall, so leave him there, but no ceremonies or further acknowledgements are warranted.

no, we won...
Jets got a worse draft pick and the Bills got a better one. In a game that didn't matter, that's all that mattered.
So you're saying we won the pre-offseason?
-
They would definitely call a penalty on that play today....it was Brady!
Yeah I know - that's why I said it shouldn't draw a flag. There's two reasons it probably would anyway: 1) Golden Boy; 2) in real time it looked like he went for the head - it was only in slo-mo that I saw what really happened. (Another reason to allow challenges on penalties.)
-
Clements over Gilmore. Nate was great; Gilmore is very good but hasn't lived up to his draft status, in my opinion.
And Nate's hit on Brady would not (or at least should not) draw a flag even today. He led with his shoulder and hit Brady in the chest. His shoulder slid up, and that's what knocked the helmet off. And Brady was a runner at that point, not defenseless.
-
No kidding. I initially scoffed at the old-timers who warned of a coming decline, but it's true that the quality here has dropped markedly in the last month or so.
The BBMB required a certain number of posts before someone could start a thread. I notice that TBD doesn't have that requirement, but we can't add a signature until we've hit 100 posts. That seems odd. Not that I care about the sig, but it seems like you could reduce the bad threads just by requiring a minimum number of posts.
For the record, I haven't created a thread here.

James Starks 2010 version - heck yeah.
James Starks today - nah. There's a reason GB let him walk - it's because his running days are behind him.
-
Brady would have absolutely demolished these defenses. They would have absolutely no idea what to do.
Any modern offense would demolish those defenses, just like any modern defense would shut down those offenses. That's like saying an F-16 would totally destroy the Red Baron in WWI.
-
Does it count against the salary cap?
Does it cost us any compensatory draft picks?
No? Then why does anyone have a problem with it? They're obviously making an effort to improve the team, otherwise they wouldn't have fired Rex. So let them do whatever PR they think is necessary. It's a business as well as a game - they're playing both angles.
-
You have a D1 college team in town. That's 6 dates. Stadium hockey game? College Bowl game? Monster trucks? Wrestlemania? They'll find stuff.
When I lived in WNY, Rich Stadium hosted quite a few summer concerts.

That what I was thinking with John Madden circling the screen during the dances/celebrations and pointing out the parts that cross the line
"... and BOOM! That's where the flag comes out!."

Hate (most-to-least):
Pats*
Dolphins
Jets
Cowboys
Steelers
Love:
Bills
Like:
Packers
Soft spot for:
Browns
Pretty much indifferent to everyone else.

Nice!
You gotta give some credit to whoever wrote Rex's contract (Overdorf?). It was smart putting that offset language in there about broadcasting jobs.
Rex tried to defend against that clause but it got through anyway.
-
I don't think it's that hard to win in the NFL, my 3rd grade cousin would have won the superbowl if he was the Falcons head coach up 28-3
Yeah, but could your 3rd grade cousin have built that lead in the first place?
-
At least he knows the way to the stadium.
-
He'll be like John Madden ... without the intelligence.

I'd trade McCoy for Kiko
Chip, is that you?

Good - our O-line needs depth, which is exactly why I would NOT cut Wood.
What was their objective in removing the BBMB?

I was a daily BBMB reader (and frequent contributor) too. After it shut down, I checked out a few independent Bills message boards and found this one to be the best. It's really not much different than the BBMB - a lot of good posters with a few trolls chiming in now and then. It doesn't take long to figure out who's in each category.
I don't know if their plan to get more people on their social media pages worked in general, but it didn't work on me. The comments on public Facebook pages seem to have a very low signal-to-noise ratio.
