dollars 2 donuts

Actually, there was a Bill Simpson, former DB for the Rams that Knox picked up that helped us win the Playoff game against the jets in 1981 by intercepting a pass at the goal line. I think he was #45 and had red hair and a beard.

Well, we might as well let the hits keep coming: The Bills could save a ton of money on traveling expenses if they would just play their home games at the Ralph.

You know what you guys, on a side note and hypothetically, if the Bills (lets say new owner John Doe) wanted to build a new, 275 million dollar stadium I bet the NFL would tell us to go shove it. How dare we, in this day age have the audacity to build a new home for an NFL franchise for anything less than half a billion dollars for 10 games a year. Yeah, thinking about the Jets, Giants, and Cowboys got me thinking that way, as well as the Bucs and Jacksonville. Is all this opulence really necessary for every team around the league? At some point bigger and better just have to give in to enough is enough. ...just sayin.

It really doesn't seem that bad what he said. I'll be honest, I would imagine it would be kind of frustrating to be in one place for almost 10 years and never make the playoffs. If memory serves me I believe Larry Centers played for 3 different teams through the first 10/11 years of his career (including Buffalo) and had never experienced even a winning season before winning a Super Bowl with New England. So, yeah, its kind of nice when guys are good and hang around a long time in this league get SOMETHING out of it from a team standpoint. EDIT: I know my comment isn't directly related to the OPs point, I'm just stating, when you see a team so bad for so long, even other guys around the league think that, man, that sucks.

His coaches rushed him into the starting position in his first season, he should have never been on the field that early. ...if he brings his hot cheerleader girlfriend, I'm all for it. Note: Not a great movie by any stretch, but if you haven't seen The Replacements at least twice you have no business being on this board.

OK, come in a little closer, I don't want the Bills to hear this: Even if they raised ticket prices by 10% (not $10, 10%) I still don't think it would have any effect on dissuading agood majority of season ticket holders; and If this team goes 8-8, I seriously think season ticket sales for 2011 hit the 60,000 mark. Yes, the lowest price ticket in the league, but man, Bills fans are a dedicated bunch.

In a very small defense of people; the internet and the Sunday Ticket have made it really easy to be a fan of a team other than one hometown team.

Yes, you can't throw the baby out with the bathwater and Levitre is one great big baby...wait...well, you know what I mean. Wood's injury only delayed his progress, but it would have been great to see them at the same point for the start of their second season. I'm not worried, though, Wood will catch up.

yeah, I third this behind reddog and dpberr. NFL Radio over the weekend was saying we should go after Sage. Slightly more games played than Trent (32-30), a little more veteran quality, and a little cooler under pressure.

No fellow Zip shall be insulted without me rising to his defense. ahem...even Jason Taylor. FEAR THE ROO, BOYS! FEAR THE ROO!

Amen, brother, my thoughts, too. That's why, even if we have a losing season, if we can jump up and bite a couple of these better teams in the a** and make their fans whine and complain and give bad excuses on how and why they lost to the Bills...well, at least it will give me some pleasure. Go Bills! $2D (yes, I've decided to start stealing from PTR )

BufJ, I would have thought so, too, with Wire, but from what a friend of mine is telling me they really like him, I believe down in Atlanta...team leader and such.

I love it eball...not as much as I love your avatar, but I still love it.

Good article. I really liked Fewell, but hated the 4-3, and honestly, I didn't think he was ready to be a head coach. EDIT: I should say not ready to be a head coach for a team that is in the state that the Bills are in. I very much could see him taking over the Giants in a year or two.

I second all three of your points, Cash: - Good for Harris - Like him a lot - and would have preferred him over Ellison. It used to be when guys left Buffalo their careers would sputter and it seemed like a good move. However, that was prior to the "aughts" and guys like Williams, Bannon, Leonhard, Wire, Fletcher, etc.

I love learning stuff on this board. Seriously, thank you, SEP, I did not know that.

I'm little worried that Jackson might start the season on the P.U.P. list, due to the fact that Lynch may not be ready by the opener but we need additional RBs behind Spiller. It would stink to have Jackson miss any time, but having him miss 6 weeks as a result of being put on the P.U.P. list out of necessity? Pretty darn stinky.

Yeah, i never want to see any of our guys hurt, but an injury that keeps his legs fresh...i'll take it.

Deano, I'm Italian and Sicilian as well! Sicilian on my mothers side; my father always said he slept with one eye open. Yeah, contrary to what Metzellars posted early, this is one red dog conservative republican who very much agrees that the name is offensive...i don't know if it will ever be changed, but i don't have any problem if it does.

I know he is still alive but IF Sam Gash was dead, he'd be rolling over in his grave right now. ...that was one back who loved hitting people.

Buffalokie I have to give you props on this thread for a few different reasons which don't always come up on this Board. 1. You took something that I haven't really thought about before and hasn't really been discussed on this Board a lot, namely the schedule anomaly; 2. Then you analytically broke it down into a set of facts and comparisons around the league; 3. Then you tied it in to a fact concerning the Bills' schedule; 4. And then you finished with why it is important (or could be) to the Bills' season. Seriously, dude, nice. I was expecting nothing when I came in and instead I went: "OK, didn't know that..." "Interesting..." "Good point..." "True!" Honestly, a very purposeful and thought out post.

Well, I guess the questions is, as is usually the case with careers that are so short (for example, Gayle Sayers), are his numbers good enough to get him into the Hall?

NFL radio was commenting on the fact that with their injuries the Ravens need DB(s). Last time i checked, we have DBs, so ya never know.

Sage, buddy, that is awesome!

Yeah, believe me, he lost me in other parts of his rant, but that one stuck out like a sore thumb. A silly argument when you consider the Forbes article had the Bills at, I believe, 907 million, with gross revenue of 222 million, oh, and by the way, Adam, they have absolutely no debt. ...And although I am not suggesting this, but if the Bills were to raise ticket prices by 10% I don't think you would see any drop-off in attendance. I would hope that a writer would find it hard to beat up on a Town that continues to sellout its stadium 10 years after its last playoff appearance.
