The Bills are worth on the order of $1bln. If you kick in $1k, you only have to find 999,999 friends to buy the team The number of Bills fans who could part with $1k isn't anywhere near a million. So, there would need to be a lot of people who look at it as a purely financial investment, and they would expect to maximize their return. If you think Ralph is stingy, imagine what a board of directors would say to hiring a coach for $10 million a year.

$17 million in Denver? Holy crap, thats crazy.....he could buy RWS for that.

Holy cow, that thread exploded quickly. I'll stay out of the argument, but just want to know, didn't Gill get an NFL interview a year or two ago?

The Bills are profitable because Ralph has no debt to service on the team. Its not likely a new owner is going to write a check for $1 billion, so he'll have to sink several million a year in interest. Still might be profitable, but not 12th in the league.

The issue with Myers is that he would have to go back to juniors, he can't go to the AHL. So he wouldn't be playing against as good of competition, and we couldn't call him up when needed (without triggering the start of his contract and FA years). So, he'll have to be a Sabre all year or we won't see him until the 10/11 season. I'd normally agree with you, it would be fine, but this guy is too good to play junior hockey anymore.

Are you guys all neurologists? Did you examine Edwards? Did you stay at a holiday inn last night? How can you possibly think after reading some article and hearing on TV that a guy got a concussion that you know he should retire? We can say "I'd have gone for it on that 4th and 2" cause we are all familiar with football. But nobody on this board (even if you are an MD) knows this situation, so none of you should have an opinion on it.

Um, our starting QB left the game with a concusstion. Its the OL's job to prevent things like that... We were pretty bad running the ball as well. I don't think they were that great.

Fitz wasn't good, but he at least didn't play scared. That throw to Evans that they reversed (I still don't understand how they reversed that) was an audible by Fitzpatrick...the dude at least wants to win.

Gotta be a catch. The NFL needs great plays at big moments....bush league if they overturn.

Did they just forget to stop the clock? TO went out of bounds on that last play, how is it the 2 minute warning?

Uh oh, the Jets hopes are rolling around on the field. Will they be any good without Jenkins?

Against who though? ND's biggest yearly opponents are USC and Michigan...and Clausen lost both games. Do you want a QB on the Bills that beats the cupcakes every year, but loses to Miami and NE? Cause we already have one of those....(minus the cupcakes this year)

I only caught the tail end of ND's last drive in that game, so take it for what its worth.....but a real winner of a QB would have won that game, Clausen crumbled in the end even when he had multiple shots. I want a guy who wins games like that.

There were a couple of Bengals fans at our local BBB bar on sunday....they offered a sign-up sheet for any Bills fans who wanted to become Bengals fans for the season. At least every Bengal game is exciting (and they win)... Personally, I can't get into another team. In a given game I can pick someone I want to win, but I can't buy a jersey and be a fan of a second team. Plus, its Sabres season!

Does this mean Maybin can sign now? I'd love to see that guy out on the field for us.

I'd second the Senator, barton hill is way nicer than anything in the falls, and Lewiston is a better place to spend your anniversary. Go see the falls during the day, walk around goat island, then go back to lewiston and go to dinner at Carmelo's.

I think Murph is pretty good, and Kelso gives really technical analysis. They are both huge fans though and sometimes it shows through more than Van ever did.

Anybody remember how pumped we were after week 2 in 2003, when it looked like Bledsoe was a superhero and we were going to score 35 points a game, and no team could stop us? We went 6-10. NO still has a lot to prove IMO, and this is gonna be a tough road game for them....

Its funny that whenever somebody says something like this, you look and they are from FL. Its amazing how an entire state is anointing him as the chosen one....and pretty much everyone else thinks he is good but will likely flop pretty hard in the NFL. Why the hero worship? I watched him play a bit last week and I can't say I was all that impressed.

Did anyone else see 3-4 intentional grounding penalties that should have been called on Leftwich on the bucs' last TD drive? I'm not really inclined to think the NFL has something against the Bills, but this game should _not_ have been as close as it was.

Depends on Nelson's injury....hopefully it isn't serious.

Really? If that happened in a hockey game it wouldn't even be a penalty. The dude (on the winning team after the game) talked crap, and got knocked out for it. Why would that warrant a season long suspension?

I really don't think much should happen to the Oregon guy...the Boise state guy clearly went up and taunted him, and then he got lit up. Thats how every backyard football game ended when I was a kid. Even the Boise coach knew what his player did was wrong and tried to stop him. If anything the UO guy should be disciplined for whatever happened with the fans. As far as that punch goes, if you just won a game and you get in the face of your opponent and taunt him, you better be ready to get decked.

I don't think that is an accurate statement....Trent has had some really good games (or parts of games). I'm not being an apologist, but I think your statement has swung overwhelmingly negative. Think of the Raiders game last year, the Chargers game, the Seahawks game, the Broncos game. Those were won by a guy who managed the game well, kept some key drives alive, etc. JP was a first quarter TD machine, but was horrifying in the 4th quarter when the game was on the line.

There was at least one play that the pass rush did a good job of flushing Ben out of the pocket, and only a blatant hold by their RT saved a sack. Then Ben found someone downfield for a 1st down...and everyone gushed about how great Big Ben is about keeping plays going.
