dollars 2 donuts

Jeremy Jacobs, Delaware North, Boston Bruins owner and Western New York native. I thought this even before GR mentioned it this morning. Additionally and what GR DIDN'T mention this morning is that Jacobs said (paraphrasing), "I'd love to be able to purchase an NFL team in my home Town."

...and he needs money and no one is paying him right now. Plus, he needs to show teams that he has at least one more full year left in the tank for 2012 after coming back from his injury. He was our leading receiver the year he was here. He was Cincy's leading receiving before a late season injury.

Who do you cut off this team? I am not being glib I really just want to know. Is it Martin? Is it a LB? Do you put someone on IR who you really don't want to put on IR. I mentioned a few weeks ago that this team history with injuries has got to stop. I am not saying there is rhyme or reason with it, just that it would be nice if the trend of losing an average of almost 20 guys each year would stop.

Jim Ritchter seemed durable, very much so Kent Hull but my memory could be playing tricks on me. Going back farther I just have no memory of Joe D. or Reggie McKenzie missing a game. Sorry, I am not trying to pick on Bell or any of the other OLmen, but his becoming the Jonas Jennings of this generation of Bills OLmen, without the skills. Please let me know what you guys either remember or know. EDIT: Man, I am seem to also remember that save for an injury toward the end of his career Joe Devlin had played a number of years without missing a game. ONE MORE EDIT: In 14 years (76-89), 13 more so as a started he missed the 83 season and 5 other games during his career. courtesy of Buffalo Rumblings: http://www.buffalorumblings.com/2009/6/23/921781/top-50-all-time-bills-no-38-rg-rt

Yeah, my thinking too; they'll find their upgrade with the #1 overall pick next Spring.

Are you kidding me? We still don't have Paup locked up and you want to sign Barnett!! I love H2o...but only in a refreshing manner.

As some of the Buffalo Pro-football historians will mention around here...we got screwed...royally. When the league folded around 1950 the NFL took the Cleveland Browns, Baltimore Colts and, by all accounts, should have taken the Buffalo Bills - a reasonably successful and very well supported franchise with many national supporters... ...so of course they took San Francisco.

They still have to beat...the #3 team!

Isn't funny, I mean if we were a baseball team and through 40 games we were lets say 28-12...can you imagine anyone in the sport not taking us seriously? EDIT: ...and by the way, why is it lost on people that two of the teams we beat would be undefeated, but for losing to us?

I just really like the fact that someone had the respect to say that it isn't really as much how they feel, but that the term really earned there way into that position.

Bumped b/c I can't believe, especially on this Board, that no one cares even to look in on a thread where someone nationally puts us in the top 3.

I have my brother-in-law's stag and we are all going to be watching the game. However, if I wasn't I'd be down there. I think that's a pretty good stadium. I have been there a few times before. ...and oh the seats we that would be available!

http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/powerrankings Does he think the Lions (2) and the Bills (3) are the 2nd and 3rd best teams in the NFL? No. ...but they earned their way there.

Actually, Scrappy, it is January of 1989 for the AFC Championship game. The Bills did lose a regular season game a few weeks before in the '88 season. Suffice it to say...it is a really long time.

Would anyone trade him right now for Cutler?

Thank you, OID.

Like most of the others here I am fine with that and kind of knew it was going to be the case headed into today. My problem, though, is with other 2-1 teams that might be ranked ahead of us and Matty I think the Lions are great, but I agree with you...they have more to prove 3 games in now than we do.

...but my father would have loved yesterday. Still, I knew he was in Heaven with a big screen TV, getting up from his comfy chair with a football in his hands, unable to sit for the last part of the game...like me; and after the Bills win he slapped his hands together with a big smile on his face and went to the table to have some homemade sauce and meatballs that my mom made. ...and even though it is Heaven for her too, I don't think my mom minded making sauce for him one bit. GO BILLS!

Two helpings, jr, to those who said before the season that the lockout would especially hurt teams like Buffalo.

I was going to post this Cereal...man, this is huge news for next weeks game.

I like your optimism hondo, but as I said in the other thread, 10-6 will NOT get you in. The Bills will have to be 11-5. Does anyone think the Jets and Ravens will be hovering around 9-7? ...No.

I kinda like this one. ...well, I don't like it, but it is probably accurate.

I love that fact and I love when that comes up. In world history with respect to misunderstandings it ranks right up there with the Immaculate Conception. ...welllll, they're not side by side.

I agree with the 4-1, but I gotta tell ya, NS, and it pains me to say it but I think 7-4 (11-5) will be necessary this year in the AFC to make the playoffs. Assuming they are the wild card contenders I think the Jets and Ravens (yes they beat the Steelers but badly hiccuped against Tenn.) will easily get to at least 10-6 this season.

Chandemonium, for the past few days that image has been in my head; the one about the Pats driving to tie or go ahead and the Bills picking them off for 6. ...you and I would make great Hollywood directors!
