Indeed buftex, the history is there for all to read...

You obviously have not lived in Houston. Maybe national perception has it that its better then Buffalo, but nothing could be further from the truth. The weather has all the advantages of a swamp, traffic is the equal of LA's mobile parking lot, and the city itself has all the charm of a strip mall. Actually, slightly less charm then a strip mall... And BTW, I'm being kind in case there are any Houstonians reading this. I've lived all across this country, and still I have a hard time figuring out why actual Bills fans continue to dis the fine city of Buffalo. Yea, hang all the politicians and cut the dang taxes in half for sure, but the city itself is far more liveable then most.

To be classless is to be a permanent loser.

No problem, but I do get PTRs point. I was really hoping for Haz back when Williams was being interviewed, but the timing just didn't work. The problem now, I suppose, is that after reading some stuff on JH, I'm not so sure he's actually a good coach. If the Bills hire him I'll give him some time and hope. Nothing could be better then combining competency and the respect for my home town.

Damned by faint praise...

Well said. I guess I have lived long enough to actually see the inmates run the frigging asylum....

Seriously. I cannot believe the drivel people are spewing over Holcromb. Kitna played OUTSTANDING ball the year before, but no one messed with the Palmer kid's development. But in Bills land a QB with 5 starts better put up or he goes to the bench....for a career journeyman. Fans and press have created a fake QB controversy, and it was allowed to fester because MM didn't put his foot down and cut this puppy off at the knees. I was here for DF v RJ, but this one is about as bogus and "Dawgged" as anything I have ever seen. 'We' fans better get a grip.

Personally I think this approach is brilliant! Consider: 1. While most of you have jumped on the "I HATE TD" bandwagon, I would like to remind you old timers that, Polian aside, we probably have never had a better wheeling and dealing GM in Buffalo - ever. Whats more, many of TDs picks are talents. JPL, LE and WM have a big time future with an improved line. You all need to stop foaming at the mouth about TD. If Wilson /Bills history is an indicator, he is much better then the guy who would replace him. 2. TD may in fact be the most important guy the Bills have had in the organization. Crazy? Well, this man has figured out how the Bills can make money, and has executed the plan. What does that mean on the football field? Nothing, other then that football field stands a much better chance of remaining RWS instead of, say, the Coliseum. 3. Sammy W at OC would be awesome indeed if his voice can work the change. My only problem with this list is JG. I have a suspicion that Williams/LeBeau were the real brains of the D operation. Just a hunch mind you...

Thank goodness we have posters with such excellent in-side information, or that know the people involved and can make in depth character assessments.

The histrionics on this board are reaching epic proportions. We are now finding reasons to hate/rant/rage in the most innocuous of places...

Thanks Tolstoy, for writing a reasonable post. I'm glad to know I am not the only one who cringes at the histrionics on this board.

I must admit that my time here is pretty sparce these days. One can only listen to so many (and constant) hissy fits. Not that anyone would have noticed...

Right on Mr T. TD has been a highly entertaining GM, who has kept us on the edge of our seats with his bold moves. And most important, many of them have panned out. The group of players you listed are part of a long list of guys he has wisely drafted or paid (or not paid.) The man knows his stuff. That he has made some mistakes is only human, and not the fodder for endless whining. The vitriolic chest pounding that is (now) TBD can really were a guy down...

Harrison was the guy I wanted back then, but was picked just before Moulds. You can argue about production w/ QB diferences, but there is no denying Marvin is the kind of guy you want on your team.

I thought about that RT. With Anderson practicing and getting short yardage/goal line carries at a minimum, and an opponent (SDC) that is tuff against the run, it just seems like too much of a risk.

Thanks. Coming from another Buffalo homer makes it a little easier.

Start 1 RB, 2 WR and 1 Flex in a 14 team IDP dynasty league. PPR for all. I have serious O power, but too many choices. Thoughts? RBs: Caddy Williams C Benson T Bell / Anderson L Jordan WRs: T Holt L Evans Mi Clayton L Fitzgerald B Stockley Right now Im leaning to this: L Jordan Holt Fitz Evans Tough to sit Clayton and Caddy, but against Buffalo's DT? Im even having a hard time deciding between L Evans and Stockley with BS's home game against Jax. Any input?

No argument from me. Personal tast is altogether a different issue. I just just get worked up a little when people dismiss them for being "pop" or "like everyone else." They are guilty, not nesasarily of bad tast, but of not paying attention.

What he said. Coldplay is not simple pop music. It is highly dramatic, and with excellent musicianship and songwriting. True, you're not likely to find yourself banging heads in a mosh pit while you listen too it, but that only commends it even more. Those that claim it is like everything else, or that it's for the lollipop crowd simply have an underdeveloped appreciation for fine music. And before anyone gets the wrong idea, I am a musician who constantly laments the regressive and primitive state of contemporary music. I also listen to mostly "alternative" and will not be found scanning the bubble gum stations.

Funny, I move from Texas (#6) to Colorado (#50) and am compeled to lose 20 pounds in 3 months. Must be something in the air.

Amen brother.

I do. We have to look at them, after all. Eye pollution should be everyone's concern....

1) Why did you move out of Buffalo? 1976 - for school and adventure. 2) Where did you go? Washington DC, Los Angeles, Boulder CO, Seattle, Boulder CO, Houston, Boulder CO. See a pattern there? 3) How does your new home compare to Buffalo? Always more work at better pay. 4) If the econonmy and job market were stable would you move back? Maybe. 5) What suggestions do you have to improve the quality of life here? Lynch all the polititions past and present, and lower the sales and property taxes bigtime.

I loved the remake, but that does not mean the original was inferior. It is to this day a classic in the genra.
