BadDad

First thanks Chevy for doing this. Darryl was always a favorite. Second I have been out of the loop for the past week and did know about any of this going on. when I started to go through the pages of this post today it broke my heart. For those of you who have been around since way back , you know that BadDad has two stinky little kids. well those two are men now and when I texted them this afternoon to tell them the story, they had both donated in the first 1,000 dollars on Thursday. My brother and I will donate tomorrow God bless Darryl and his family and go Bills.

If I am not mistaken Wayne Huizenga Owned The Dolphins, The Marlins, and The Panthers all at the same time. If not he definately owned at least two of them at the same time and ultimately owned all three. As a matter of fact the only Miami team he did not own is the Heat.

thank you . I know the man personally and yes he has his sins, but he gives millions tons to Charity every year, he does not need need the money. Just a few minutes ago I was reading an article aboutt Jks tournamnent.All the usial crowd were there. former Bills greats, etc. and jks buddy from the playing days, Dan Marino.. y

but with Steive in the slot , Watkins on one side, make your pick from the other side....Seems like a winning combo to me. Stevie has the nuts to go over the middle. Who esle do we have that can sorry for the semanticts, new laptop and I,m still trying to get hang of it.

Are you nuts this new kid is going to send Stevie to the hall.

Hate to say it, but you're right. I intensely dislike him and I'm certain that the devil is now beginning to collect on his debt, but he will go down as one of the all time greats.

Correction, how stupid can the teams that play against N.E. be? Even when they can't do it themselves, the other team seems to make a bone headed mistake and gives the game to them!

Oh my God, how lucky can N.E. be?

Hahahaha, Good one Tom! To complete the thought by paraphrasing the late great Mitch Hedberg, 'Skip Bayless used to be a dramatic tool. He's still a dramatic tool, but he used to be one, too.'

I like it and I agree with your additional criteria. Strength of schedule is important and has an affect on the overall rank, week to week, based on the opponent.

Nah with his three major escape valves out of the game I think the Buffalo D will prove to be a very good substitute for Tonya.

I noticed in the thread about where are you now that there are a lot of us down here between Ft. Lauderdale, Davie, Miami Lakes, etc. Although my kids still go the Dolphin game every year, I don't anymore as there are two games I can watch on t.v. at home every year, up there and down here. The rest of the games we have been watching at the Flanigans in Weston,($1.50 for Coors Light), for close to 15 years. We have a group that was as big as 20 back in the 90's, to 3-4 in the past few years as some were fair whether fans and some were kids who went away to college and now are coming back home. My idea is, why don't we all get together this year and watch a game together? I'm sure we can find a sports bar that's centrally located for all of us and maybe get together and watch a game with fellow sufferers. Not necessarily a Bills Backers Club but maybe an informal gathering of extremely intelligent Football fans, who also happen to be masochists, to have some beers and comiserate while watching the team that consumes us. Anyway, if there is any interest let me know, (pm me), and I'll try to organize a meeting for the game. Also, any guys that are coming down for the Miami game maybe we can get together for some beers, a kind of a night before the game at the Inn, (what's the name of the Inn in Orchard Park) where everybody meets before the game that TBD gets together for each year. Anyway it's jusr a thought since there are a number of us down here and maybe it would be nice to get together and have some beers watching the Bills.

Hey do you know Dave in Broward, he lives in Davie actually near the fins facitily at Nova? I live just west of you in Weston. Been out here since 1987, raised two boys to be rabid Bills fans and they love giving the fins fans hell whenever we beat them.

I'm a former AF Brat. Were you stationed at Vandenberg? We lived in Lompoc during the late 60's when my father was stationed at Vandenberg.

What he said!!!!!

Jets, never really were a rival, they were just there. They did help bring the AFC, and the Bills, into contention with Joe Willie's victory. What's happening now with Buddy's kid is a joke, so nahhh. Pats, I still remember rooting for them with Logan trying to win in 78' or was it 79'? Marcia is hard to tolerate (I can't stand him), but is it really his fault, or the NFL and the media that have made him the "wonderkind"? Is it his fault that the rules comittee keeps making rules to protect or aid him? They're on the way down again anyway and Bruce Jr. will be all over him this year. Many of the posters on this thread are younger and I think that is reflected in the pole numbers. But for those of us who sat in the ef'n cold, snow and/or sleet, with our snowmobile boots on for a whole decade there is only one, the only mammal lacking in external genitalia!

I agree with pretty much everything you said but I the strength and conditioning coaches are not the problem. A bunch of freak accidents half way through the season, when a slew of players ended up with broken legs cannot be blamed on strength and conditioning coaches. S*** happens. I feel that seeing Adareous and other rooks still making meaningful plays late in their first season as a point for the S&C coaches. Merry Christmas and, as always, ....Go Bills!!!!!!!!

Top 5 money, no way. However, the AP story references his position as middle of the pack type money for a #1 receiver. I think he's a middle of the pack, or slightly above, receiver so let's get this thing behind us and go forward filling the holes we presently have, not create new ones.

Living in S. FL I rarley get to see the Bills play and hear the commentary, however this game I did. I agree that the penalties were killer and the botched kickoff had an important impact. However, most of those, both the penalties and the botched kick were caused by walk-ons and pratice team players. Stevie is supposed to be a seasoned veteran and he drops important catches, makes a boneheaded penalty which leads to a touchdown because of a boneheaded play by a walk-on, and then drops a tough pass that could have won the game. When Buress had to make the play he did, when Stevie had to make the play he didn't. Maybe it was karma, but the Bills all suuffered from this idiotic attitude in a playoff impacting game. He apologized after the drop against the Giants, this time no go. He has to make a lot of plays to erase the image of a clown that he creted today in a game that we could/should have won. His exemplary play was great against Revis, however when it counted he didn't have the mental fortitude to make the plays when it counted. Excuses for his attitude won't cut it here. By the way Spillers stupid roughing penalty, was also inexcusable. We had a first down due to penalty, but he had to retaliate, causing offsetting penalties. We got lucky on the ensuing plays but then again it was just dumb luck, not smart play from guys who have been around.

I agree and I saw that all to often today from running backs, receivers, etc. On the other hand I saws ay to many times that we wrapped up a Dolphin receiver/running back, etc. falling forward after the hit for positive yardage. This is not something new, it's happened in game after game this year and for what ever reason we just fall down short of the line. I'm not talking about CJ specifically, but lately Fred, the receivers,etc. have not been following through, (or running through) the defenders. If we get a yard because, (although the rb/rc was tackled for short yds.) the rb/rc fell forward, I'll take it. The Bills are playing scared. By this I mean the players, not the Coaching staff. Somehow the Coaches have to inspire these guys to give it all up and go forward. Maybe the fact that a number of starters are out will inspire the backups to step it up. After all where did Fitz, Stevie, George Wilson, Freddie, come from? Fitz didn't have his most stellar day today, however I feel that under the circumstanes he did his best. A number of freak accidents have hurt us tremendously, the lack of a consistent pass blocking scheme (due to the above), the suffling of the OL (due to the above), no consistent pressure on the oppossing offense, (running or passing gsme), doomed us for the past two games. Maybe it's a lack of talent, maybe it's lack of coaching, maybe it's lack of luck (you can't blame broken legs, dislocated shoulders, achlilles tendon tears, etc. on the training staff). However, we have to fight through it and the guys that came in today didn't get it done. I'm not sure we're there yet, but I feel confident that between the injured vets, and the newbies we'll see for the rest of the season willbuild the nucleus of a very good team. Take heart Bills fans, Go Bills

I second that motion, good for him. His teemmates, the city of Buffalo, and the fans all rallied around Scott after that game. He was, and is a standup guy. He took every question after the game and he shouldered the responsibilty for: Jim Kelly Thurman Thomas Bruce Smith Andre Reed Daryle Talley Biscuit Marv Hull, (RIP) etc., etc., etc. ,etc. The game never should have have come down to that field goal, but it did, because of the failures of the above (many of whom are in the HOF and the rest probably should be). My oldest son became a Bills a Bills fan as a result of "the greatest comeback in NFL history", but he became lifelong after that Superbowl. He felt that this was only the beginning, and he was right, we would be back. The only thing he didn't realize was that the subsequent SB's wouldn't clearly come down to a missed field goal being the difference. The same cast of HOF characters who blew that game, blew three more and none were the fault of Scott Norwood. So if you young wippersnappers want to boo Scott, just be fair and the boo Jim, Thurman, Bruce, Darylle, Biscuit, Marv, Andre, Metzallar, etc. the next time you have the chance, because they all had a part in that loss, and they all, (unlike Scott), had a big part in the sbsequent three losses that were all blow outs.

I agree and if he does well it will be a positive for us, because they will be out of the Luck sweepstakes. He's a good guy, came to Buffalo with all the right intentions, got blownup by his coaches, and the fans gave up on him too fast. Good luck J.P. for your sake and ours.

Hey Olivier good to hear from you again, and congrats on the new Bills fan. So far so good this year and it's been very entertaining. Hopefully we do well this week and then get the break for a couple of weeks to heal up the wounded for the second half. Go Bills!!!!

Well they're really small fiches and only Rapala has come out with a lure small enough to catch them.
