I'm predicting 2-14.
I love the Bills but I don't believe them. Get me Bill Polian & Bill Cowher here and then I'll start to have faith.
If O-line is a critical need for every team and Everette Brown beat Jake Long, then doesn't D-line seem to be the most important part of a team? If you look at most of the past Super Bowl winners, they all had a couple things in common. A good head coach and a great pass rush. Unfortunately, we have neither.
I like to think that we're lucky to have an extra preseason game in which to evaluate the players & schemes. Everything (o-line, pass rush) will take some work so the more game experience the better.
I know I'll get torched for this but if I was going to trade any of our receivers, it would be James Hardy.
Okay, I'll explain. I know he was a rookie last year but I wasn't impressed with his effort and feel he will be a bust.
Things I miss: fish fry, Mayer Bros apple cider, Louie's TX Red Hots, pizza & wings (pretty much anybody's), Bison chip dip, Broadway Market, Al Cohen's bakery,....you get the idea
Bottom line: out of the league too long, wasn't that great to begin with, and would draw too much negative attention. We could use a more capable backup to Trent (our present & future) but not him.
My two cents: On the one hand, there is too much insensitivity in the world and on the other, people are offended by the slightest remark. I don't think there is anything wrong with jokes unless they are intending to be mean spirited.
Example: What do you call a bouncer at a gay bar? A flamethrower. To me, it's just a manipulation of slang terms to create an already existing word and is not intended to be mean-spirited.
In conclusion, I feel jokes are fine as long as their intention isn't to be denegrating.
I remember leaving after the game from the tunnel side endzone and by the time I got to the parking lot, one of the uprights was coming over the visitor side upper deck. It was fandemonium!
