Because the "beer" inside SUCKS. The two beers that were palatable were removed (Guinness & Smithwicks) - at least in pre-season. Ralph Wilson Jr. Stadium has to be the only professional stadium in the USA that doesn't have at least a few craft beer selections. It's a joke, actually.

I think I read he forced two fumbles on special teams. That would need to be confirmed.

Hopefully it's for BLASTED Canadians to sleep it off after games.

I for one DO NOT want a new stadium or the PSL that would come with it. Update what we have - the sight lines are great, The Ralph just feeds concourse and entry gate upgrades - and that is on tap for this off-season.

SkittleBräu!

Woods was "dinged" while blocking on the Manual scramble to the 2-yard line. I was bummed he went off the field on his own because I thought EJ was going to hit him for the winning TD. I have to say, Hogan was ready in a nanosecond and in position FAST. It was not a coaching replacement.

If by "handle" you mean, pass it to someone else, then no - I can handle it!

Canadian beer sucks dirty toques.

Does anyone remember watching Snow in the pre-season? We was absolutely horrific in his bad play. Remember the drive where they had 6 cracks to run it in from the 4? Snow was at guard on those plays and was pushed back into the runner on 3 of them.

The one thing that stuck with me when Chan was answering questions about the Tebow signing and the state of the "wildcat" formation in the NFL was this reply: "In this league, you have to have two of these type of players on your roster." He was mainly referring to injuries and how wildcat players tend to get banged up pretty good... but read into this anyway you want, but I can see him using both Young AND Smith on the field together for certain plays. It might be a gimmick, but is there anyone here that wouldn't get at least a little bit excited seeing that on game day?

“I was just thinking telling myself, ‘The Buffalo Bills are going to eat!’ The Bills have been hungry for a while, but we’re going to be eating now,” he said. “Adding those two ends I’m overwhelmed. I can’t wait to hit the field together.” – Marcell Dareus As long as they fill up on roasted Brady - this sounds good to me!

Over 5000 career yards and you never heard of him? You are not a football fan. Stay off this board.

I've been to EVERY Toronto game. There are literally THOUSANDS of tickets taken out of the box office and put on the streets in the hands of scalpers. Rogers will never admit it - but it is obvious to anyone who has ever scalped tickets at a pro sporting event. Hell - the Sabres used to do it at the Aud during the lean years (after the long sellout streak ended). It has killed me because I was duped into buying the "Season Ticket Holders VIP package" - full price - under the guise that I would lose all rights to future ticket sales if I didn't buy the whole 8 games (FIVE years of tickets) up front. Last year, I saw one scalper with at LEAST 100 tickets in his hand/pocket. This is NOT a broker or a street seller. He's "promoter" supplied. Bottom line - you could get inside the building for as low as $10 to any of the previous games. Obviously they are doing better this season, so it might change a bit, but I still think that if anyone wants in - they can do so for considerably less than face value. I'd hope some REAL Bills fan's would do it this game. It's sickening to see half the stadium (or more) routing for the other team for a "HOME" game. As a side note, the most sickening thing is to go in a bar 5 blocks from the stadium in a Bills jersey and have the bartender say "Bills? Oh yeah... there's a game here today..." In a city that REALLY wanted football - every bar and restaurant within 10 miles would be decked floor to ceiling with team promotions - looking for the business. They simply don't give a sh*t up there.

per Bills text alerts.

If Incognito ever has a son he needs to name him Guy. Guy Incognito. Best. Name. Ever. BTW, initial poster - did you start this thread after 3 plays? Two holding penalties in the first half would get one of our guards run out of town on this board.

By that reasoning, God made Bill Cowher throw the overtime game against the Ravens several years back... allowing the Steelers to finish below the Bills and draft Roethlisberger. And Cowher did throw that game, by the way...

I've seen every home Bills game for the past 20 years, seeing the whole field from the upper deck - trust me - Whitner is just good enough to be an AWFUL NFL starter. Good luck to him in Cincinnati. We are losing absolutely nothing with his absence except injury protection - but my guess is that there's always a veteran safety out there if that happens. Donte wanted 5+ plus per season, hit free agency and found out what everyone knew from watching film. He wasn't even worth half that. I never dog on Bills players either. The situation has to be truly awful and real for me to say anything. In this case - it is. Luckily the coaches agree.

I don't care if we was an undrafted free-agent or the first pick in the draft - watch him play IN PERSON, not on TV where you only see 30% of the field - to judge his play. I couldn't care less about his draft position. On half the plays he's LOST out there. How many times do we need to see this guy come in 2 seconds late on long touchdown passes? Slow to re-act, slow to turn and run, slow to the line... The coaches saw things with the team as the year went on. i/e., Trent to the street, Wood to center, Jackson in for Lynch... ESPN has been showing many clips of Randy Moss, Braylon Edwards and other free agent receivers as of late - and there's ONE common denominator with all of them... many are against the Bills and if they are, they show WHITNER COMING IN LATE every frickin' time. Just say NO.

Yes - but they also started Edwards over Fitzpatrick as well. They watched and they learned. It took a little more time with Whitner - and because he is such a vocal guy in the lockerroom. Honestly, if Wilson didn't have that same leadership ability, I'd think twice too. They call him the "Senator" - he's a more mature team leader. All this being said, I would love to see this position get better talent over Wilson. He's not the be-all-end-all safety. He's just better than the player demanding to get paid in the top 5 at his position, when in truth, he's in the bottom 5. Free agency shined on light on that beast for certain.

George Wilson's EVERYTHING is better than Whitner's. Better instincts, better hands, better height, better tackling, better playmaker, better leadership... better player, period.

Sit in the upper deck and watch Whitner play - then tell me you want this guy back. Agonizingly slow to recognize the play - his hip turn is awful - he can't jump to defend high passes and he's a pile jumper on running plays. Luckily, we now have a coaching staff that can recognize play like this. Veteran minimum is the best offer this guy is gonna get ANYWHERE.

Sit in the upper deck at the Ralph and watch Whitner play - like I have - and you'll see a safety consistently out of place and reacting LATE to just about every play. Moreover, he consistently gets beat one-on-one by backs in the hole. He's just not good enough to start - and he's not good enough to start on a 4-12 team. Lastly, there is no drop off AT ALL when George Wilson steps in for him - and at least Wilson will make a play every once in awhile! I resisted, but as Bills fans, we must acknowledge the 1st round bust and let this guy walk.

Bob & John's LaHacienda on Hertel. Everything else is a distant second.

Aren't comp picks awarded for the loss of rights-held free agents? His 1-year contract ran out and the team announced it was choosing not to resign... a comp pick is still awarded for this? If so - that rule has to be changed.

Actually - look back to the last Steelers game of the previous season. Cowher essentially threw that game - handing a regulation ending FG to the Ravens and sending the game to overtime - thus allowing the Steelers to draft several spots higher than they would have - including the jump over the Bills to a lower spot... all for the reason of taking a QB ahead of the Bills. I'm 100% convinced of this. Near the 2 minute warning, Cowher decided to go for it on 4th and 1 on HIS OWN 40 YARD LINE. Essentially handing the tying FG to the the Ravens if they didn't make it. What coach would make this decision - knowing that the missed 4th down conversion would essentially hand the tying points to the other team? And overtime of that game was a joke - every play looked like the Steelers were being asked to stand down. I remember watching this knowing that it was going to cost the Bills in the draft order.
