  1. or as a football player "Pile-on"? Really? And using "RJ" for anything other than the Sabres is blasphemy.
  2. Where's Arthur Moats when we really need him?
  3. Revisionist history. It was enacted in 1993 to keep the QB from getting hit. I remember it.
  4. The kneel down has never struck me as one of football's glaring problems screaming for a solution. However, when it comes to rule changes that ruined the game, the worst-ever may be the "tackle box" rule. I don't know why they ever made this rule except to give a competitive advantage to the offense. I say intentional grounding is intentional grounding. Wow, I've kept that inside for a long time. What a relief!
  5. I ended my college career on my back, not because of any injury. Melanie.
  6. Maybe the Bills front office saw something that we didn't about fan-fave Fitzmagic. What's your take? Where does he land?
  7. He'd never lay a glove on Fred Jackson
  8. Here in Israel, cable TV became widely available in the early 90s just as the Bills were playing in the superbowl every year. Israelis were unfamiliar with American football before then (the superbowl was televised for the first time during the Gulf War - Wide Right) so people who became familiar with the game as it began to be televised here thought that the Bills were a dynasty like the 60s Packers, the Yankees or Manchester United. I remember an ad campaign for one of the cable TV companies, with billboards everywhere, showing a closeup action shot of Jim Kelly. By now American football games are a staple of cable sports here, so I guess the Bills track record in the intervening years has dampened the Bills enthusiasm pretty much. But my friends who follow sports all know about Josh and the New Bills, and they often congratulate me after an important win. BTW 1PM games are Sunday 8PM prime time games for us, given the time difference.
  9. Perhaps the high point of Chandler's career: The Bare Facts Are He's A Star
  10. Bring back Bobby Chandler!
  11. I, for one, would be happy never to hear another word about JD McKissic
  12. Terrence McGee Stephon Gilmore
  13. Really! Almost enough to make us forget Duke.
  14. They told Araiza he gets 3 bye weeks, one scheduled by the league and two games against New England
  15. Is DaRon Bland DaRick's brother?
  16. I stopped watching the broadcast and am just watching this board now. Much more entertaining.
  17. All I can say is I'm SO PLEASED that it was on 3 networks. I understand that next year's Pro Bowl will be covered live by 5 or 6 networks.
  18. My #1 favorite Bill ever. He gave us a sense of winning beyond just handing off to OJ. And his gutsy performance playing hurt against SD in the playoffs is still my biggest (OK, second-biggest) heartbreak as a Bills fan.
  19. Maybin, because the Bills became the laughingstock of 31 NFL front offices. I doubt anyone else had him ranked above a 3rd rounder. By this token Manuel deserves a mention, although I remember the panic about getting a QB in a draft that had no legitimate starter candidates. At least if we'd taken Geno we'd have taken a guy who stayed around the league a long time. But I think EJ was a stand-up guy and he took the criticism like a man.
  20. Punter is a need maybe Moorman can come back maybe Gogolak
  21. My favorite one so far
  22. Kiper Mel Kiper Mel Kiper Kiper Kiper Kiper Kiper Mel
  23. NFL draft soon. Who will Buffalo select? Can't say I care much. Haiku posts only (5-7-5 as you know unless you flunked school)
