That's actually when I became a fan of the Bills! I was in the 6th grade and had heard about some team that barely missed a kick to win the super bowl, so when I picked up Tecmo for the first time, I went searching for this team - The Buffalo Bills... I started watching religiously in '96 and one of the images that has been burned in my mind, is that of Kelly being carted off the field in the playoff game vs the Jaguars.

Cottrell's "read and react" defense finished nicely in the 1999 season (#1 overall), but I'm tired of passive defenses such as his and the cover 2. I want an "attacking" defense to watch...

There's only one Bo Jackson... Speaking of, does anyone remember Bo on Tecmo Bowl? If you played the Raidahs in the playoffs and he got past your linebackers.. 6.

Not only did he dismiss Cowher coming to the Bills, but he also said that the most likely candidate to end up here is Jim Haslett. At that point, whatever respect I had for chicken little as a "Senior NFL reporter" quickly flew out the window and started to declare, "the sky is falling, the sky is falling."

Who is this "Chris Ellis" you speak of?

Who needs a link?

So far, only 1 Bills fan has PM'd me and said that he'd contribute... Is there no one else out there who is in a position to help bring my script to life? You can contribute as little as $10, or as much as you'd like. Again, it's all or nothing deal, so pledges are only taken out when the project ends AND the goal is successfully reached. I have until the end of March to reach my goal. If you can help, it would be much appreciated! If you'd like to read a scene from my script (.pdf) to see what it is you are being asked to support, PM an email address..

Yep, Testaverde's WHITE helmet was mistaken for a BROWN football. Luckett was a terrible ref. Is he still in the league?

NHL - How about "No Goal"? NBA - Where the most corrupt refs reside..

Wow, I remember that play. Ball was clearly inbounds, but touching a WR passed out on the sideline. Dead ball. BS call. Pats* get all the breaks and still complain!

Haha.. is that a call from the movie Necessary Roughness?

Any sport. I'll start - FUNNIEST: It was the 98-99 season and the Philadelphia Eagles were a terrible team (season before McNabb). I kid you not and I remember it to this day - the Eagles were about to run a play, but the referee blew his whistle, threw his flag, and came running out to announce the call: "False start, on the offense. The ENTIRE offensive line. 5 yard penalty, repeat 3rd down" Hilarious! How does an entire offensive line false start?!

Hello Bills nation, If the holidays, or the recession hasn't gotten your pockets into trouble, I am asking for you to consider being a backer for my short film. The fundraiser was just launched today and I need all the help that I can get to reach my goal. If you don't want to contribute, but know someone who might, spread the word! This is an "all or nothing" fundraiser, meaning that I either reach my goal (only then will the pledged amount be taken out), or I fail to reach my goal (no one has to pay). Please consider and take a look. If you have any questions, PM me. Thank you and have a Happy New Year! "A Funny Thing Happened..."

Interviewed JOHN GUY?!?! Wow, this place would've erupted! Guy deserves to be handed walking papers, not promoted. I can live with Nix as GM. He comes from the Polian tree right? Hopefully one of the first moves Nix makes, is to find a new director of player personnel. Hand Guy his long overdue pink slip.

Many draft pundits said, "Brohm will replace Aaron Rodgers as the starter in GB". I sure hope we see that first round potential manifest itself again...

Very, very mixed feelings about this one. The guy whose team underachieved, couldn't beat Army & Navy, flawed game management... I know, I know, college is completely different than the NFL, but what has me even more worried, is that when he was OC of the Patriots*, many Patsie fans couldn't wait to get Weis out of town! Many cheered when he took the ND job; the same way we cheered when Fairchild took the Northern Colorado (or whatever) job. Has anyone asked the Patsie fans how they presently view Weis?

Wow, are we back to this ThreeBills? Earth to ThreeBills, I said Edwards sucks, Fitzy sucks, and the OL sucks!! Trent was not the principal cause, but he was in no way a solution to the problem! You and your, "JayBaller vs Trent" crusade grows tiresome. Get a life and leave me alone..

I too agree, but take Edwards OUT of that category. Pozitive51, you may be the most loyal Trent Edwards fan that I've ever come across in my life! Probably even more loyal than his own family! I remember your, "Trent Deserves Better Than This" topic. Anyway, at one point in this game, we were starting Andre freakin Ramsey at LT!! WHO IS ANDRE RAMSEY?!

Didnt Greggo punt from the 32 in that game years ago against the Steelers? The game with Bledsoe at QB and a win needed to get into the playoffs..?

justin.tv/broadway_ruuby is also down this week. I dont think there are any working links...

At approximately 1:57 EST.

For anyone who has actually played a sport, you know how the body responds when you're not in top condition - not favorably. Most of the time, these injuries are small and nagging, but there is a bigger issue at hand. I have yet to see anyone bring up the fact that a poor conditioned body, also leads to quicker mental fatigue. This in turn leads to terrible decision making, poor technique, and laziness. Thus, creating an ideal situation for the body to become more seriously injured. There is a correlation regarding injuries and playing against players who are in better shape. There are also freak and/or unavoidable injuries. What Buffalo has shown these last 3 years, is a trend. The S&C staff needs to be replaced...

Is anyone here a member and/or know of any members who have an invite that they'd be willing to send me? I'd like to start a project on this site... Please PM me if you can help. Thanks.

Unlike his leadership qualities and will to win, a slow release, inconsistent spirals, and questionable accuracy, are all huge question marks with Tebow.

I remember that many mock drafts had Freeney going to Buffalo in the 2nd round! Could you imagine the reaction on this board had we picked Freeney at #4? People would have jumped out of their skin! In hindsight though, knowing all that we do now, it would've been a brilliant pick. This is partly the reason why I gave the FO the benefit of a doubt when Whitner was selected, "maybe they know something that no one else does and he'll be a huge impact player...". Turns out Whitner was a hideous pick; in retrospect AND at the time of the selection. While in Pittsburgh, Donahoe went with his "gut" and against the FO, selecting WR Troy Edwards instead of DE Jevon Kearse. This tremendous blunder would weigh on Donahoe's mind and preclude him from going with his "gut" later - It was mentioned that Donahoe badly wanted to gamble on selecting Albert Haynesworth with that #4 pick, but decided to go the "safer" route and select the player that the rest of the FO desired - Mike Williams. (Haynesworth was viewed as a high risk, high reward pick) If only he would've went with his gut the 2nd time around...
