  1. talks about twitter, adjusting to the NFL, talked about practicing and preparing hard getting ready for games, hardest adjustment coming to NFL is working on all the little things. Pettine says he's quiet, defense has to make plays to give the offense a chance to win, about KC says they have to slow down Charles and confuse Smith, asked what was the coolest thing about being in the NFL Kiko responded just being in the NFL is so cool

  2. nothing groundbreaking, Says Aaron Williams flopped as CB and moved to safety, Graham is so good the Bills used 2nd and 3rd round picks on WR, Shepherd was given away. Says Gilmore and Dareus could be talented building blocks if Dareus plays up to potential, Manuel and Woods are beginnings of a nice youth movement and Cordy Glenn played a lot better than expected at LT. No mention of FB Drew Smith from right here in Guilderland NY though:-)

  3. Do you have a cocktail table in your man-cave? Get a piece of glass the size of the cocktail table, arrange the cards on top of the table, and put the glass on top of them. You can look at them while you drink and watch football, not spilling a drop on them.

    I did this a few years ago. came out nice. covered it with Bills, Sabres, Braves and others that I found interesting
  4. Fergy was a above average QB with a rocket arm who had the same problems today's Bills QB have. Bad personnel decisions and constant coaching turnovers. His rookie year was nothing more than handoffs to OJ. I think he only threw 150 passes his rookie year. He had JD Hill and Bobby Chandler in Saban's and Ringo's run offense. He threw more with Knox as they drafted Jerry Butler and got Frank Lewis for Paul Seymour. But top draft choices like Tom Ruud and Bob Nelson, Booker Moore, Perry Tuttle, Phil "Okie" Dokes didn't help much. He had Ahmad Rashad for one year but he wanted $100k a year and Ralph only would offer $95k so he went to Seattle. Knox left and they hired Kay Stephenson who put the Bills in a downward spiral.

  5. just to namer a few....

     

    Sabres: Jiri Dudacek, Taro Tjisimoto:-), Ric seiling (good player but Islanders took Bossy with next pick), Joel Savage. think they had quite a few 1st and 2nd rounders who never played in the NHL

    Braves: John Hummer, Tom McMillian were first rounders,

    Bills: Al Cowlings, Erik Flowers, James Hardy, Perry Tuttle, Gary Marangi, ( Carl Eller & Paul Warfield who never signed and went on to the Hall of Fame), The bills have had enough bad draft picks to fill a few pages

  6. Driving to VA and back this week I listened to a lot of ESPN and they hit the nail on the head. They were talking about San Fran but it fits Fitz perfectly. They said the thing that separates Kaepernick from Alex Smith is 1: he is willing to throw downfield, and 2: he makes those throws. The thing that pisses me off about Fitz is every time we have third and long he throws a 2 yard pass. The Tennessee game when the Bills got the ball back with a minute to go on their 20. 1st and 10, 2nd and 6, 3rd and 4 and incomplete, incomplete game over. How do you justify getting 6 yards in 4 plays against a prevent defense?

  7. I still remember one of his catches, which was highlight-reel material for years. It was on the sideline. He was stretched out, practically parallel to the ground, and somehow got both his feet down in bounds. It was amazing.

    If I remember right that was against the St Louis Cardinals on Thanksgiving 1975. Totally stretched out. He was my favorite Bill
