  1. I suspect every GM tries to guard against falling in love with a player, then staying in love too long. A healthy detachment is needed (see the Patriots), and I believe Moorman is a prime example where it will come into play this year. My first reaction to this article was, can the guy function as a holder? Sometimes that role is even more critical than punting. If he can hold for kicks and if Lindell becomes comfortable with him, I think the time has come for a change.
  2. With due respect my response would be, why does Brandon owe anyone (other than the owner, and maybe the prospective new owner) this explanation? The Bills ownership situation is far more precarious than it is for nearly every other team. As a result, the current move toward regionalization is more about building a foundation for the long term success of the Buffalo franchise than it is about the immediate number of Canadian butts in the seats. As rocky as they've been, the team's initial efforts to tap the Canadian market can only help maintain the viability of the Buffalo franchise in the minds of the next ownership group. When the time comes for a cold, hard business decision to be made about whether to keep the team in WNY or to move it, how do you quantify the value of the team's initial entry into the Toronto market? I don't think you can.
  3. Having lived in San Antonio, I'd say you can cross them off your list. It doesn't have NFL-caliber demographics (has lots of people but it's not a wealthy town), is a dyed-in-the-wool Cowboys' town, and any proposed team for SA would be fought tooth and nail by Jerry Jones who claims it as part of his market.
  4. The statement you quoted from my original post was in Breer's article. It wasn't my assertion.
  5. I believe this is just the lastest in a long line of outsiders looking in and trying to speculate, but here it is FWIW: NFL.com article Buffalo Bills Owner Ralph Wilson, who is in his 90s, has said the team will not be moved while he's still living. The club's succession plan is to put the team in a trust and sell to the highest bidder. Still, the club is negotiating a new lease and renovation plan, and its regionalization efforts have been largely successful. Thirty-two percent of the club's tickets sales have come from Rochester, an hour away, and Southern Ontario, and the league is interested in continuing to cultivate the Toronto market. Down the line, could a new deep-pocketed owner swoop in, and whisk the team away? It's not impossible. But chances are, that won't happen any time soon.
  6. Stubhub has some nice seats available.
  7. I got a Nike jersey ($100 version) from the Bills store. I like the fit (shorter and more fitted). I also like that they make a men's small size - at least recognizing that not every Bills fan is 250 lbs+. Unfortunately, the Bills store sent me the wrong color so I'm waiting on the return.
  8. At an absolute minimum, Buddy SAW FIRSTHAND how to get it done.
  9. Maybe because it had a direct quote from Wannstedt. That's authoritative enough of an endorsement for me.
  10. 'Ol Dwight - still scouting like his hair's on fire!
  11. See username, formerly Williamsville.
  12. I'd ask the OP to name another Bills offseason in which more quality moves were made in terms of resigning core players, inking top-shelf key free agents, and selecting draftees with highly productive college careers. Why is it better for Bills fans to be skeptical at this point?
  13. I'll let the OP answer - he used the phrase first. But if you google the phrase you'll see it has a generic meaning beyond the old credit card brand.
  14. This has been, by far, the best offseason I can ever remember. Even a fan like me can see this team coming together, right before my eyes.
  15. Sorry if I hurt your feelings. Anyway, I also do not think the directions this year from Ralph were different than any other year. It's just being spent smarter now.
  16. Either that, or carte blanche.
  17. I thought I read the other day that the same source that had passers at a 103 rating vs. Florence, had Aaron Williams actually worse statistically.
  18. After this offseason, Buddy needs to be up there.
  19. It's WAY too early to predict. After minicamp ends a week from now we'll have a much better idea how this game will unfold.
  20. My answer to this would be, as it was last year, to use the pass to set up the run.
  21. Billnut Jr. and I will be at the game and may stop by. Is there a kitty that everyone pitches into?
  22. To those of you doubting the correlation of physical fitness and quality QB play, watch .
