dollars 2 donuts

Yeah, part of the worry for a bunch of us interested in Willis was that the 49ers loved him...which proved to be true. I don't think there was ever a thought by SF's front office to trade with Buffalo in the hopes that Willis would still be there. Please note, I am not suggesting that at all. I am just saying that I can't imagine them risking their prize in the draft when they knew the team behind them coveted Willis just as much.

Someone posted this earlier, but it is still good to hear, Jay. ...keep it coming' Bills' fans!

What was fitz at the start of last year, in the 70s? I think he made it to 80-82 by the end of last year...yeah, that is at least a workable QB rating for Madden fans. EDIT: BTW, if you scroll down you'll see that team ratings were released around the time of E3 (June) having the Bills at 74 and the Jets at 79. I'm thinking if it were tweeked before the release date those two teams would be a little more in line with each other.

I've seen that before, and nicely done there, Mark.

Did not know that...that would have been worth it and I am not saying that just by the way he has performed in the NFL. I really wanted that guy in a Bills uniform.

Honestly, I don't know in what football universe we would be in to have only 7 offensive linemen.

Gives him a good amount of time to sign with a team who could use him. ...please tell me the Patroits don't play a 3-4 right now.

...and the last time don Shula walked off an nfl field as a coach it was in a playoff loss to the bills.

Oh man wouldn't that be great. ...they would probably switch as well, though.

That is good stuff, House. Thank you.

Damian, not that this should make you feel any better, but I thought they were all headed in that direction, even the Buffalo News.

How could they not, eball, as they've been so far up the Jets' backside in camp that when Sanchez looks in the mirror he sees the ESPN logo in his eyes.

Some of us wanted Wilson here very badly. ...please know that my middle name is Someofus.

Max, is this true? ...dang. Well, they can't have Hairston or Glenn.

What do we do if Young breaks his ankle during the last pre-season game? Chan: "Hey Tyler (if you are available) I just want to let you know that not much has changed in the old playbook the last 3 weeks."

Sorry to hear about your experience, Rev. Yes, it should be quite a bit better than that...I don't think you would get any comlaint from fans if the Bills crackdown on the order in the stadium. There shouldn't be just one "family" section.

Please let VY or Tsquared come through and show something as a #2...that list above is wretched. I can't imagine someone else coming in and starting from scratch.

Harvey did get us OJ, though, with that pathetic '68 season. ...84-85 were horrific and record settingly bad teams.

Thanks Punch, that was good. The only thing I previously knew is that he worked for the Bills for a long time and was breifly their GM. I knew nothing about how influential he was in bringing the team to Buffalo and that he was the "Buffalo" guy.

Bravo my friend...Bravo!

So many great ideas, you guys. However, it is located downtown, there is no shopping mall attached and it is a lot to put into for 7 regular seasons games a year. Please understand I do really love the ideas, but I just don't think it works for the given location. I am not offering this as an idea or even a hypothetical, but if a new stadium was tied into the Walden Galleria...then there would be tremendous money making potential.

(JIMMYJO REGARDLESS OF MY COMMENTS BELOW OR WHAT I STATED BEFORE, I AM NOT JUMPING ON YA MAN...PLEASE DON'T THINK THAT. I JUST DON'T LIKE POLITICIANS...I DO GET WHERE YOU ARE COMING FROM) Did Maxine threaten the nuclear option to bring the NFL to its knees or did she just scold him? Do you think the NFL was worried about Congress with respect to concussions or do you think they were worried about law suits? Do you think any such issue like Bountygate has to do with making sure the govermenment doesn't come down on them, or is more about law suits and the money it might cost them? We'd all have to answer to Congress if Subpeonaed, but a $200,000 range Rep or Senator is not going to put the fear of God into a multi-billion dollar entity. ...they're just not.

I am curious to see how long Chuck Schumer's career light would be flashing even at the slightest hint of pushing that "nuclear option." These are not mom and pop operations that go to the government hat in hand. What an absolutely, self-serving mess of nothing that presser was.

I kind of want to see what is up with all this Hagan news we've been hearing of late.

You guys are missing it completely. He is announcing: The Niagara Frontier Retractable Dome Stadium at Charles Schumer Field A 65,000 seat stadium with two jumbtrons set in downtown Buf, with Federal and State funding included. ...ahhh, I can almost taste the chili!
