Prediction:
The Bills look sloppy and everyone freaks out.
Chan chuckles to himself that things never really change.
By week one half of the people on this board can't even remember that this game took place.

I know right? I mean practice squad players need to earn their own.
They need to be more like a guy like Shadow...a hall of famer before even playing a regular season snap.
He'll SHADOW the hell outta-ya!

My new favorite player Michael Jasper aka SHADOW!
Per Murph..."He casts a large shadow".
Shadow is fuggin awesome. He's got the perfect attitude and can clog entire highways.
I have never heard of another player with this nickname....and we need a unique name for this mammoth of a player.
SHADOW!

I think the "value" of the Shaggs is they are an example of rock-n-roll made without any influence, or talent. Kind of like finding a tribe in the Amazon and making them play rock without ever letting them hear any. Putting the Shaggs on that list is either a big joke or some critic trying to go over everyone's heads.
PTR
I assure you it's no joke.
I love "My Pal Foot Foot" (superficially about a cat named "Foot Foot" who has ran away), but it's probably not the best song to start with them, even while it's the most popular.
It's probably the most outwardly "childish" of their songs, but still has the classic velvet undergroundish slang to it.
They are so challenging because you need to let go of any previous influence you have in Rock music and just accept them.
Then, strong patterns start to arise, both in their lyrics and musicianship. And they sing about deep feelings that are weaved throughout their very linear playing.
They were the one of the first bands to be so "honest"(not caring about what other think) that it's not a surprise that they are sometimes lumped in with the "proto-punks".
But I know it's not for everyone

Weren't the Shaggs daughters of the record producer and none of them could actually sing a lick?
The Shaggs
My Pal Foot Foot
I'm not sure that their Father was a record producer..but he played a very big role in their career.
He was almost like a Murry Wilson (Beach Boy's Father) in that he was a tyrant who forced the band to play, but also had some good intentions
Not bad. I would choose Freak Out by Zappa over WOIIFTM. No Dylan? Good call with Velvet Underground and Captain Beefheart. My list off the top of my head-
Captain Beefheart-Trout Mask Replica
Astral Weeks-Van Morrison
Velvet Underground-Nico
Dylan-Blonde on Blonde
Are You Experienced-Jimi
Kick Out the Jams- MC5
Nick Drake- 5 Leaves
Zeppelin II
Dylan-Highway 61
and a tie between obvious choices-The Doors, Sgt Peppers, Pet Sounds
Yeah, leaving off Dyan was tough. I'm actually a Dylan freak believe it or not, but just enjoy the 10 records I listed better than they stuff he did in the 60's.
Here's my list for Dylan:
1. Blood on the Tracks
2. Highway
3. Blonde on Blonde
4. John Wesley Harding
5. Another Side
6. Desire
7. Bringing it all Back Home
8. Planet Waves
9. the other folk albums
10. everything else prior to the 80's work
any list of top 60s albums without the Rolling Stones' "Let it Bleed," is bogus.
and let's not forget the seminal, ground-breaking and angry: "Johnny Cash at Folsom Prison."
j (music snob) w.
Of course "Let it Bleed" is a classic...but IMO it's not as good as: Begger's, Sticky, Aftermath, and especially Exile (70's yes, but in my mind the best album of all time)
i thought i was pretty knowledgeable when it came to music, but I can honestly say, The Shaggs as a band do not ring a bell at all...i suppose I have heard a song of theirs, but for a band that is being considered a major contributor for a musical decade, I feel somewhat embarrased...
The Shaggs are the best kept secret in music. (Jonathan Richman being the other).
Some people would say that they can't play their instruments...and in some ways that's correct...but they actually play very exact - every note is planned and has meaning - and it's like they learned in almost complete isolation from the rest of the western world.
The reason I love their music so much is because it's the most pure form of Rock n' Roll honest passion that I have yet heard.
Song's like "Who Are Parents" just can't be duplicated in my mind.
Give 'em a shot, but be prepared for it to take several listens before "getting it". They are about as challenging as "Trout Mask Replica".
BTW...Zappa said that they were better than the Beatles!
-
Not really in any particular order...
1. The Shaggs - Philosophy of the World
2. The Beach Boys - Smile (bootlegs)
3. The Beatles - Sgt. Pepper
4. Frank Zappa - We're Only In It for the Money
5. The Beach Boys - Today
6. The Velvet Underground - 1st album
7. Captain Beefheart - Trout Mask Replica
8. Love - Forever Changes
9. The Monks - Black Monk Time
10. 13th Floor Elevators - Easter Everywhere

It seems like a very flexable play that can be low risk with a smart and athletic QB.
Please educate me.

Coulda shoulda. TT is going to be a marginal player who lasts a few seasons and then crashes down in a haze of cliches.
Missed it. I wanted to see the part where he walks on water.
He's better than most people because he's on the inside with the Jesus

What other message board would you rather be posting on right here right now?
None. This is the best.
When it's too tough for other fans, this message board is just right for us.
When you post on this message board, act like you've done it before.

I agree - sweet site.
Looks like you put a lot of work into your analysis.
Thanks for making it, and I'll probably be checking it out regularly.

I am drunk but thtat is F***ing awesome.
I noramally hate WRs but Stevie is one of the best. Deff better than Lee and one of the best players on the team. Him, KW, Poz, Wood. Levitre, they are the core to build around.
I honeslty have hope for this team for the first time in years. w2hat chat is doing for the O, I can only hopw our D continues to improve. It sucks cause with the Ets and NE in our diision Its going to be so hard to make it happpen
Best post I've seen in a long time!!!
____________wHY sO sERIOUS?????__________

I'm on board. Though I think it's a reach to say this team could do it.
I mean, they haven't beat the Pats in forever.
We beat the pats in last years opener.
(keep telling yourself that Byrd Bath)

You're right. Easy decision for me......GOODBYE.
Have some friggin pride in yourself.
Nah, sorry about that comment. It should be directed at Ralph. Have some friggin pride in yourself Ralph. It's Buffalo's team, not Toronto. If you want it to be Toronto's team, have some nuts and move it there, otherwise quit fuggin with everyone and just move it.
what a stupid ignorant comment

Something tells me that we should give him a two year pass to develop players and implement his system the correct way.

That's what I'm talkin' about Big Man. I've taken a lot of heat around here in the past for being negative about the moves that this organization has made. However, I am on record for being against drafting Whitner over Ngata, trading up for McCargo, and taking Maybin over Orakpo. I made these comments AS THEY HAPPENED, not in retrospect. I was greeted with the typical homer B.S. around here. Comments like...
-" But he must suck because I never heard of him"
- "Then why aren't you an NFL GM"
- " Somebody call the wambulance"
So many morons that can't see the forest through the trees. I don't think I should be an NFL GM, but I am on record for calling this organization out on the mistakes they have made AS THEY HAPPENED. While I'm at it I will also admit that my current account is my second go-around at TSW because my first account which dated back to '05 was cancelled due to "crusading" against J.P. Losman. I was Waaay ahead of the curve on this guy and would have pulled the plug on him after we lost 20-17 in Detroit on 10/15/06. I continued to be a pariah around here as the company line was arguments like...
- "Losman is the 16th ranked qb in the league"
- "Losman needs time to develop"
- " even though he's been in the league for three years, he's technically a rookie"
So my account was terminated. HOW DID MY ASSESSMENT TURN OUT?
I suppose the bottom line is that common sense is not so common and wisdom, clarity of thought, and a high I.Q. should be considered a blessing.
Who the hell cares if you happened to be right about a few things? Most of these moves looked horrible from the start anyways.
Greg Bell

I'm just a year or so age-wise from being able to remember Greg Bell play.
BUT...every youtube Bills video I watch (BillCody1960 = GOD!!!) from the Bell's time has him looking like a hall-of-famer.
Today I was watching the Bill-Cowboys 1984 game and Greg Bell dominated leading us to a huge upset of the shi*-boys.
Simple Question: Does Greg Bell get due credit?
