  1. Josh Allen is playing for the Arizona Hotshots. Looks like he put on a few pounds since the Bills season ended.
  2. [Forgive me if this topic has been discussed before...} In 1993, the AFC East played the NFC East. In week 2 the Bills beat Dallas on the road, in week 5 they beat the Giants at home, and in week 9 they beat the Redskins at home. Is this the only time a team has defeated the SB champs from the 3 previous years in a single season?
  3. Must be Done Whitner, why else would Marv have drafted him #8 overall? Never mind that he played SS, not FS
  4. This is correct. I'd be surprised by a big crowd for a late season meaningless game but you never know. Good flat price for unlimited beer and wings. Calico Jack's right next door on 2nd Avenue takes the overflow when McFaddens is overcrowded.
  5. Surprised me that the punter wasn't doing the kickoffs in the second half. Where's Jordan Gay when we really need him?
  6. Went solo to a Bills vs. Raiders preseason game at Cal stadium back in the early 70s. Solo to a road game! The place was pretty full because everyone came out to see OJ. I discovered that, oddly, that during the plays I have a tendency to lean in the direction that the Bills are heading as if to encourage them. Not so oddly, I guess, because the people around me were all doing it too but they were leaning the Raiders' way which made for some awkward body contact.
  7. We want Marangi http://www.dailypublic.com/articles/09182018/we-want-marangi-anyone-else-ready-quit
  8. Correct, much like we did with Terrell Pryor and the Jets. NP will be signed and then cut after the Bills-Lions game
  9. I don't remember a guy going as long in the concussion protocol as Derek Anderson has. It doesn't matter from a football perspective for the Bills but I really feel for the guy. He was happy playing Mr. Mom and came out of retirement for us. Is he another Kevin Kolb? Bills have been under the Cone of Silence on this one as far as I can tell except to say that he's "still in concussion protocol."
  10. I've had that experience watching Bills games many times and I'm not color blind.
  11. It's always the highlight of the year when they break out the Xmas unis. Last year it was very clever to wear them in the snow game, helped our QBs find the right man to throw to.
  12. If you think the point of it was how impressed HE was by meeting ME, then I guess you're right.
  13. I met Marv Levy on a street in downtown Buffalo the day before the 2016 opener (he was in town for Bruce's number retirement) Got a nice selfie And I actually had the presence of mind to say "there's no place I'd rather be then right here, right now"
  14. All season long they had given the ball to Roosevelt Leaks in situations like that. He almost never touched the ball except on 3rd and short or 4th and short, and he averaged 3.7 yards per carry. He was money. I never understood why they gave the ball to Cribbs on that play.
  15. That was the toughest Bills loss ever in all my years as a Bills fan, tougher even than wide right. Fergy was a real hero that day and played hurt, really hurt. It was the first good season that the Bills had since 1966 and came after going 0-20 against the Fish during the 1970s, the Bills beat Miami in week 1 and opened the season 5-0. Had all of us thinking that maybe, finally, this was our year. Then a gimpy Ferguson led the Bills to a lead against SD after 3 quarters but it came apart in the 4th. It still hurts. You can watch it here:
  16. I'm thankful every day for the reminder that the Bills had Lee Evans before his enshrinement in Canton
  17. I notice that we're also tied for the league lead in games played, at 10. LET'S GO BUFFALO
  18. That's a HOF set compared to my collection of bums
  19. A few years ago, my nephew went to Russia. He wanted to bring me a gift so he brought me Buffalo Bills babushka dolls . (Babushka dolls are nesting dolls that are sold in an amazing variety of themes in nearly every souvenir store in Russia). I saw the little ones playing with them the other day and had a good look - and a stroll down memory lane. All of these guys are long-since gone from the Bills and, except for Lynch, long-since out of football. Looking at these, I'm reminded of Seinfeld's comment that we're only cheering for the clothing.
  20. I think you need a touchdown to get a 1 point safety or a REALLY BIG sack on a 2 point try
  21. Let's agree that NFL is the best place to do that
