Jackson's down -- ouch. Bills don't need that.
What happened? I can't watch the game.

Yeah, the copyright thing I don't quite understand.
The game is FREE over air broadcast to anyone in the world except western NY. BS i'm done giving the NFL any of my money
I agree 100%. You forget they makes big bucks prostituting the game by selling the rights to the Sunday ticket to Direct TV. The NFL only cares abouth the bottom line, not fan enjoyment or player safety. I never buy anything off their website and I suggest everyone else follow suit.

Anyone have any luck?
Wonderful. Well that's neat

Our offense is not the reason we are winless, they have been playing well enough to win half our games. Our D allowing an AVERAGE of 178 rushing yards per game IS responsible for the team's season. They've been having a better game today and guess what, we've mostly been playing 4-3. 3-4 conversion was an ego thing from Edwards. We should have slowly started using more 3-4 schemes and then converted over next year once we picked up more players who could play in that system. I hope George Edwards gets fired after the season.

We have more undrafted rookie FAs contributing to this team than drafted rookies. Chan's stock answer to any personnel questions is "we are evaluating talent all the time to put the best team on the field." That answer, which is the only thing you'd get from our HC, is a terrible indictment of our draft.
The natural follow-up question then is "why are we not drafting well enough that our drafted players can't beat out UDFAs?" Carrington is NEVER active. Troupe never sees the field (at least it's because Williams is playing well). Wang had to be converted to another position. We cut one of the Tackles we drafted and we have 2 guys out for the year. So Moats, a 5th rd pick and Spiller (in a limited way) are the ONLY drafted rookies even regularly contributing to the team.
How can Ralph possibly justify not firing Modrak? In my opinion (I believe most of the board's opinion), Modrak has single-handedly gotten 4 coaches fired due to the utter lack of talent he has gotten us in the draft. Can we please start a FireModrak.com website or something? He is the devil. I'll put money towards it.

The ticker is just picking up on Chan's comments Friday saying he would not rush Merriman back from injury and that he didn'tknow when he would play. Hence "indefinitely."

Addition by subtraction and addition I like it!

edit's not working. Meant RT

I watched Corodo a lot today. He was terrible. He was torched on almost every pass play where I focused on him (5-7). He was routinely face down on the ground after whiffing on his man. Fitz made this line look good today by being able to find open receivers instantly. I dont think he held the ball for maore than 2 seconds all day. If he had, he would have been getting crushed from the right side.
- I read everyone else comments and everyone else seems to think he was amazing. From my experience most fans dont pay attention to the details while watching - like how everyone was blaming switching to the 3-4 as why our D stunk, when in reality we rarely ran the 3-4 at all. The Jax game Kelsay played OLB in a 4-3 the entire game. 2 weeks later, some article came out about the team switching to the 4-3, and everyone was all up in arms. My point is no one really watches, so take others comments with a grain of salt. Howard played very poorly.
You admittedly watch him for 7 snaps and declare his performance poor? I have only read half of your post, but I declare it to be lackluster and written dim-wittedly. I DID watch him for most of the game when I rewatched the whole game and he performed very well. Considering it was his first start and he was playing against a great D who was blitzing like crazy, I would say he did amazing. He has the tools to start for us at LT.

The kid was our 1st rounder 2 drafts ago. This coaching staff won't even put him on the field for more than 2 plays a game and our defense is TERRIBLE. Are we going to wind up cutting this moron? I'd at least like to see them stick him in there for a majority of the defensive snaps for a few games and let him learn the hard way.

WALKOUT or BROWN paper bags! I'm for the paper bag idea, seeing as how it would be hypocritical of me, having chosen not to purchase game tickets, to tell others to waste their hard-earned cash by leaving a game halfway through.
I do think we should start a letter=writing campaign. We have enough members here on the board to do it. We could create a basic template in word and have people fill out the reason's why they want ralph to sell the team and promising not to support the team financially until he does. Maybe contact someone in the media (Lori if she's interested) and alert them of the campaign to garner more attention. A couple thousand letters from TBD would at least be an affront to the marketing machine at OBD.

No one with any credibility will come here. Not while we have a joke of an owner who only gives jobs through cronyism.

What the hell is a titantic? Zing!

I just switched back to anger after looking at bb.com and seeing Chris Brown's ridiculous blogs. Sure, it's a given that he is not a journalist, but rather a pathetic cheerleader masquerading as a reporter, but he refuses to even acknowledge that we sucked. Instead, he tries to rally fans around the fact that Sanchez made some comment about how many points they could have scored on us. The organization is either blind, or they realize they don't need to field a competitive team anymore and they can still make a profit.

I think I'm drifting similarly between acceptance and depression. Just when I think I have accepted that we are beyond redemption, they play decently against NE and get my hopes up again.

As a free service to members of this board suffering the stages of grief stemming from the death of hope for a brighter tomorrow for the Buffalo Bills, I have listed them in order. Feel free to diagnose yourself and medicate appropriately.

Can't help but laugh at those who equate post count with insight.
After every embarrassing loss, we get a thread in which someone declares "I'm done with this team", or "I'll never spend another dime until [fill in hollow ultimatum]". Maybe people just tire of the "Look At Me!" posts?
Cutting!
I don't want to talk to you no more, you empty headed animal food trough wiper. I fart in your general direction. Your mother was a hamster and your father smelt of elderberries.

Well written post. Brilliant in fact!
I also found the subsequent postings quite indicative of the declining level of rhetoric on this board. Surprise surprise that the people with a bunch of little buffaloes beneath their screen names actually read the post, while the new generation of mindless dimwits with all of 2 posts posted insightful things like "f u".

The NFL owners treat it as a business...the players treat it as a business...fans now have to treat it as a business and not go or buy crap from Ralphy boy. If they leave...who cares anymore. My life will go on.
ever hear: "Cutting off the nose to spite the face" ?
it's an expression used to describe a needlessly self-destructive over-reaction to a problem.
sellouts are the ONLY thing that will keep this team in buffalo. especially when this franchise has a new owner. if keeping our Bills isn't the single most important thing, then you are either not a fan or dumb.
now if your talking about buying tickets but NOT showing up?.....maybe, but most folks around here are not in a financial position to just throw money away (yea yea, i know, you already are)so that isn't going to work either.
figure out some other way to show your disatisfaction....start a petition, if your a season ticket holder send a letter. but understand one thing.....the only excuse a new owner can use to move this franchise is poor attendance.
I agree with bf34. Papa's comment is typical of way too many people on this board... "but we will lose the team!" Wake up! This team will or will not be sold when Ralph Wilson dies and not before. Something HAS to be done to bring a change to the organization. I did like the idea of staging a mass walk-out. Empty seats show a lack of interest in a team, while a walkout is an intentional protest.

It seems we as Buffalo fans are being held hostage by the owner. Why? This is what most people on the board here have expressed.
1- Fans cannot revolt. If fans stop buying merchandise and going to games, the team may be sold and moved somewhere else. So,
2- In order to keep our team here, albeit a festering turd of a team with a terrible FO and a roster that is 70% putrid, we are stuck supporting Ralph's losing formula until he kicks the bucket. At which time we may or may not lose the team after all.
The question is, what do fans do? I love the Bills, but this has been the first season I have not been able to stomach watching every game in full. I'm not supporting the franchise anymore by buying merchandise or tickets to show my displeasure at this teams, direction. This, is the only real voice I have and 1 person removing their patronage means little. But, if I suggested others stop doing so as well then I am a "bad fan" who hates the team. I have been a Bills fan for years. Like everyone else, I wish there was some way to convey to our owner that he needs to either sell the team, or make wholesale changes. But it looks like that will never happen.
So the question is. How do we as fans get through to the organization that we're not "buying" their bs? Are the 2 options above all we have?

George Edwards should have been shipped out with Trent Edwards.
The defense is getting taken to the wood shed. Ouch.
Agreed. Our defense is absolutely terrible.

Resigning Kelsay does NOT fill a hole. If anything it creates a hole for 4 years. You need DIFFERENCE makers to play at OLB who can get pressure on the QB. Kelsay is a liability in coverage, plays the run worse than he did when he was a DE and gets 0 pressure on the QB. He is objectively terrible.
-
Wait for the next text that says Levi Brown has been named our starting QB!

I think everyone will agree Maybin is the devil and Oher would have been a MUCH better pick. I'm still happy with Spiller over Bulaga though.

No one is talking about the blackout. As far as rights to broadcast, no it is not that cut and dry. The internet sites are mirroring a broadcast already in progress by CBS, they are not cutting the raw feed. The issue is REBROADCAST. Since you felt like talking down to everyone on the board, I thought I'd respond in kind with a tart and petty answer.
