DC Bills Fan

Just like the Giants knew that they could have a receiver catch the ball with his helmet to win a superbowl, or make an amazing catch on the sidelines to win another. The Pats were not beat by the Giants in the two SBs -- they could have closed out both games by running for first downs. But Bill didn't want to do that, and had to rely on receivers catching the ball. Just ask Giselle who's fault it was.

One of your last chances to catch us before we move to LA!

Just move the freakin' franchise to LA and be done with it. If the Bills aren't going to try to be competitive, then they are better off gone.

Stevie is a crap receiver. Drops the ball in big games. Costs his team yards (and probably a game or two) with his stupid celebrations. And he's hurt all the time. Only with this team would we accept such an undeservedly ego-centric player as our "best player" simply because he probably chose to stay with the Bills where he always has an excuse rather than try to go to a team where he would be exposed. Too bad it's too late to trade him. Maybe in the off season he would be worth a 3rd or 4th rounder, and then use the freed-up money on another area of the team that need help.

OK, occasionally he catches the ball. But most of his stats (granted the Bills have ususally been playing catch-up against prevent defenses) have come in garbage time. I wonder if he has more big-time drops than big-time catches.

I don't know why anyone thinks Stevie is anything more than a #3 receiver. He's done nothing except in garbage time. He drops the ball in key situations. In the prediction thread I said that the Bills would lose (unfortulately) and a wide-open Stevie would drop a bomb. OK, it wasn't a bomb, just a 7 yeard toss that only hit him in both hands. Next year they need to draft a real receiver. Try to trade Stevie for a high-round draft pick next year.

Pats 31 Bills 27 A wide open Stevie drops a TD bomb and then blames God.

I wore my Flutie jersey to back-to-back Redskins games and to Ravens games. I had REALLY good seats for the Redskins game, and was initally harassed a bit by the Redskins fans. The Redskins were pretty bad that year, and got embarrassed by the Bills. By the end of the game, the 'skins fans were chearing for Flutie, esp. when he juked a LB out of his jock to pick up an extra 5 yards. The Baltimorons were not as friendly. Much worse seats in the upper level of PSINet Stadium. It was a very close and sloppy game. The one thing I do remember is using the restroom and being harassed by a Ravens fan while I was at the urinal. Resisting the urge to turn toward the guy to make sure I heard him correctly , I finished up and then explained that it was a sloppy game, so it would be close. He continued to be obnoxious, yelling things about the Bills even as I left the restroom. The Bills won, and as my wife and I walked back to the car, a Baltimore fan -- with his kids -- started yelling things about the Bills. You stay classy, Baltimore!

Let us know how that works out for you.

Maybe this is the league's attempt to punish the Pats ... you know, give them a bye week before a game when they really don't need it. Don't you think the Pats would prefer a bye against another team ... maybe to get the D ready for the Broncos, for example? I can't see Kraft going to the league office demanding a bye against a team that hasn't been to the playoffs this century. I fail to see the conspiracy. Plus, teams sometimes play better when they are not coming off the bye ... Any W against the Pats is huge though.

Yeah, and if in 5 years Brady decides to play in Buffalo he will be a bigger hero than Bledsoe. Not sure if Giselle would like Buffalo too much, though.

Will anyone ever hand a Jill a game ball???

All he can say is (1) the Bills like to check down and run short passes and (2) they avoid getting the ball to Lee Evans at all costs? Seriously, this can't be a real concern, can it?

Thanks - I had a lot of time in traffic this morning to listen, so I tried to get it right!

Even though I'm listed as DC Bills Fan, I should probably change that to ATL Bills fan... Anyway, Coy Wire was on the Regular Guys show this morning, one of the jocks is from Buffalo or Rochester and still a Bills fan. He asked Coy what was wrong with Buffalo, and you could hear Coy trying to be diplomatic with his answer. He said that he had played in Buffalo for 6 years, and that was all he knew. When he went to the Falcons, he was shocked. He said that from the top down it was a first rate organization. The owner spends money to get the best coaches and players and has assembled a first rate front office. Coy said that alone fosters a winning atmosphere. He didn't take any shots at the Bills, but reading between the lines it was pretty clear that he didn't think that Ralph was as interested in winning as Arthur Blank.

How aobut overhauling the uniforms?? Get rid of the arena football league rejected threads and go back to the royal blue unis of the 80s and 90s. Oh yeah, and get a good coach.

I think Carrot top was around before that game... :

Actually, it was. McKelvin should have taken a knee in the end zone. Whether the Bills started on their 31 or their 20 made no difference whatsoever. It's up to the coaches to make sure that these guys understand the game situation.

The Pats would win. This team is cursed -- just like the Red Sox were -- and it all goes back to benching Flutie before the Titans playoff game. Whenever the Bills have a national audience, they find a new way to lose. If McKelvin doesn't fumble, Fred Jackson would have. Or Trent. That's just the way it is. Lets Go Sabres!

Actually, I think it's more like 7!

No. Scoring would be something the Bills Fans didn't expect. Seriously, why is it evey other team's QB that we play seems to be composed and not have "happy feet" in the pocket?

My concern is that Jaron considered the FG a done deal right after the first down. Maybe that's why he went to the ground. He wanted the Browns to burn all of their timeouts so that they would run out of time after the FG. If that's true, that's insane. What other team would ever settle for a 47 yard FG when you have a minute to play? Hell, run the wildcat again. Run a naked bootleg (that worked well for the Browns, didn't it?) Just do something that the other team isn't expecting. Isn't that what Jaron and his coaches get paid to do? The announcers had it right - TE apparently gets upset when he hears the names of the other QBs that were selected before him. Guess what? At least one of them - Quinn - looks like he has a lot more potential than Edwards. The silver lining is that a least we won't have to watch this horrible coaching staff come January.

Maybe if Viti was involved in a hit and run, or had some other criminal activity, he could have remained on the team. I guess character doesn't matter to the Bills much anymore.

And thanks to CBS for ANOTHER Bills game not in HD!! That makes 3 so far. Glad I got "Superfan" (even though I got it for free). For all the money CBS paid to broadcast NFL games, you would think they would care enough to broadcast all in HD.

I'm just saying that if the Bills keep playing like this, you can expect fewer games in HD. First no prime time games, then fewer HD games, maybe the Bills will be broadcast in black and white for the last few weeks of the season.
