  1. Headline from January 9, 2005....

     

    Bills CB Troy Vincent, who was injured most of the season and only returned for the Bills last two games against SF and Pittsburgh, both Buffalo victories, was instrumental in joining with Clements and McGee to help shut down Marvin Harrison, Stokley and Reggie Wayne as the 6th seeded Bills pulled off a big upset in the NFL playoffs. Vincent had two picks of Manning as the Bills rolled to a 31 - 21 upset of the heavily favored Colts. Next up for the Bills, a crack at their longtime rivals, the New England Patsies!!

     

    Lets Go Buffalo!!

  2. 7) IF the Bills make the playoffs, is a home game an impossibility? If so, too bad because I have a 50/50 chance of getting permission to go. I sound like a wimp? Wait until YOU are married 20 years.

    GO BILLS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

     

    Well, I've been married for 2 years, and one thing the wife knows not to mess with is the Bills, especially the Bills in the playoffs. Already told her if we play at Pitt/NE, I'm there. Indy is more difficult b/c I have to buy a flight, but I'll try.

     

    She also knows that in the unlikely event the Bills ever make the SB, nothing that is happening in life, children/money etc., will prevent me from being at that game.

     

    Its all about setting the precedent early on and sticking with it.

  3. Restoring ND to the National Championship picture on an annual basis would be extremely difficult, hence my post, that it is very hard to win at ND. It is easier at Florida (academic standards, florida talent etc.). Meyer had a chance to try for legend status and took the easier, safer choice. That probably tells you all you need to know about Urban Meyer as a person.

     

    I do know that this is ND's most important hire in a generation. There are a whole bunch of kids who do not even remember ND being relevant and if ND doesn't come back strong, they will fall further and further off the national stage.

     

    I want to see them winning and good, for selfish reasons, I'm a die hard Cane fan and want the rivalry renewed.

  4. SO, the Pittsburgh game, at home, will be like a playoff game. Which "The Ralph", will be jacked up beyond belief.

     

    Win or lose, I just want to feel a playoff atmosphere at the Ralph once again. There hasn't been a playoff game at the Ralph since 1996. We haven't really played a do or die game at the Ralph in almost 10 years. I have my tickets and I hope I'm watching my 9-6 Bills beat the ever living stevestojan out of a full-strength Steeler team. Oh yes, we can and will win that game. Steelers ain't so good on the road. We will smack em down baby!!

     

    Too bad our victory will ensure the Patsies go to the SB, but so what!!

  5. This game scares me a little, to be honest.

     

    Amen. It scares me a lot. Mularkey needs to keep his team focused on the task at hand and not allow them to get all full of themselves. You know McGahee is gonna be jacked, the game is in his hometown. He needs to make sure the whole damn team is that focused.

  6. My scenario.

     

    1. Assume Jets get the 1st wild card.

    2. Assume we win out (10-6)

    3. Denver(9-7) loses to San Diego, Kansas City & Indianapolis

    4. Baltimore(9-7) loses to Cin, Indy & Pitt

    5. Jax (9-7) loses to Pitt, Green Bay

    6. Cincy(7-9) loses to us and a couple of others

     

     

    Well there you have it, 0-4 start to the playoffs. Why not us?

     

    I'm not sure about the Jest. They have 4 very difficult games coming up...

     

    JETS- 8-3

    Houston Possible L, but a W b/c at home

    @Pittsburgh Definite L

    Seattle Possible L, Seattle is not as bad as they were yesterday

    New England Definite L

    @St. Louis Definite L

     

    Thats 10-6 if they win vs. Seattle, but if Seattle wins, then 9-7.

     

    I'm much more concerned about the Ravens. Do you guys honestly think Baltimore will lose to Cinci??? I think the Ravens get one slot for sure at 10-6, Denver collapses and we fight with the Jest for the other one.

  7. I live in Boston and the word here is that NOOOOOO way do the Pats let Pioli go. The Pats have him under contract for a few more years. They could easily elevate him to co-GM status for the Pats as well. If they do let him go they would be asking for huge compensation--like next two number one picks and then some. At least this is the word in beantown. They were speculating that he would go to Miami as well--doubt it!

     

    But would they match a President/GM title for Pioli like Cleveland may offer? Thats a tough one to match.

  8. If we finish 10-6 but miss the playoffs, is this a successful first season for Mike Mularkey and do we cut Donahoe slack? Even though it would be yet another missed playoff year and we did have a very slow start, 10-6 would still be a big improvement. It's a big if and purely hypothetical but just thought I'd throw it out there.

     

    Yes, I would consider it a successful season given the fact that we would have ended the year 10-2. Chalk up the Jax & Oak games to a new coaching staff/system etc., and you have the foundation for a terrific 05 season. You just have to hit the ground running.
