  1. Err. DJ is the Captain, April is just 1st mate! It ain't on April. We used to have depth on this team. Backups that actually belonged in the NFL. Now our depth is thin as paper and that reflects on special teams. I know, Parrish should know better than field that punt last week, but the dude is fighting for a roster spot, said so himself.
  2. And he was our second DT taken that draft, and he was in the 5th round to boot!
  3. How much slack? How about this is the first year he's got a substandard ST. Our problems are far worse than ST.
  4. I don't know. I think fans would pay higher ticket prices if they knew it was due to the Bills staying. How much? Who knows. Right know, the Bills are pretty affordable from college kids, to professionals. I wonder if they jacked the prices, if you would actually draw from a different sector of our local economy, those with large amounts of disposable income. I've heard from plenty of people who have the cash, but will not attend games based on the rowdiness. Jack the tix price, exclude the young and drunk and I bet you still sell tix. Maybe not a sellout every game, but darn close.
  5. Correct. My point is the Bills, right know, are only 2 games out of the division lead with 11 games left. Even if (when) they lose Sunday, they still have 10 games left in the season. Ralph sees this and won't pull the trigger until the math says we don't have a chance. Do I think we have a chance? No way. But until there is no hope, Ralph ain't going to pull the trigger, too much $$$$ involved.
  6. Right, she gets assets of his. Now can he will the team to be sold and those are the assets she gets? Who knows. Just seems like he his trying to save her the trouble.
  7. Don't want to be a downer at all, but no way the Bills stay in Buffalo. Maybe short term, 2-3 years, but not any longer. Financially it makes no sense for a new owner to stay here. It's called return on investment. He pays $750 million to Ms. Ralph and needs to sell luxury suites and tix to pay for it, and not at current prices. Although, I wonder if people would pay twice as much, or more, for tix if they stayed? Unless Kelly & Co. really do have a group, the Bills are as good as gone. Enjoy them while they are here, DJ, TE and the rest of this sorry bunch.
  8. We are 2 games from the division leaders and almost beat one of them. With 11 games to go, until the Bills are mathematically, or embarrassingly out of it, DJ stays. Personally, the sooner the better for me.
  9. Echo, that is exactly what it is. All he does is repeat what Schopp says, without really adding any substance to it. Honestly, Schopp really needs to move to talk radio, definitely more his style. And to believe he used to fill in on ESPN radio a few years back.
  10. One of my favorite lines from the movie!
  11. I was listening to those guys on the way home from work, about 6pm and had some thoughts: 1. Can Bulldog form his own opinion, or is he Schopps puppet? He used to be so good years ago when he was on WBEN 930. 2. Funny how they stated the billboard was as "small" segment of Bills fans, and how does that act actually speak for the all Bills fans? Then Schopp went on to say that the listeners that respond to WGR's websites polls are also a "small" segment of Bills fans. Hmmm. Did he just say his market is small? 3. As said earlier in this thread, for two guys who hate the Bills and want Jauron fired, I find it funny they are offended by the Billboard. Thing is, they can't be on the side of the people behind the billboard as it's not their idea, it's someone elses. 4. Listened to them for a few minutes and then changed it to Riter who was actually discussing football.
  12. Even if we had all of our injured players back, the answer would be a resouding HECK NO! No way we win this weekend. The Jets should be able to rush for at least 250 yards, if they choose to rack up the rushing yards.
  13. I don't know when, but he was relieved of the GM duties in the last years with Seattle. Based on that, I don't know if I would want him to be GM IF he came to Buffalo. Honestly, I'm not sure I would want my HC to be GM. On the flip side, he does well with QB's - Favre and Hasselback, so that would be a plus.
  14. As angry as Thurman said he was with the loss, and the Bills current situation, no way he ever coaches. Now, ownership, I guess we can only hope so we can keep the team in town.
  15. Wow. This organization is an absolute mess. I'd say it can't get any worse, but....
  16. Thought that was the this website the stadium wall?? When I said reported, I meant posted. Fixed.
  17. Seemed like a beaten guy. At least it's a bit easier to get a read on the guy when you can see him making the comments. Said they'll do whatever is necessary, and would not comment on DJ's future. Both of which have been posted on TSW. Seeing him say it, seems like he is at the end of his rope. Maybe some change is coming at OBD. On the other hand, DJ was his usual uppity self. God I want him fired.
  18. I thought that when he was seeing Buggs off the field. Just seems like a typical Bills "blockbuster" deal.
  19. Ok. I finally finished watch the game (11pm) as I was at work today. My thoughts, in no particular order. 1. 13 penalties for 75 yards. Thank God they were of the short variety. How many false starts did we actually have? Last I knew, the o-line KNOWS what the snap count is. Unaccepteable. 2. The long pass to Evans in the 3rd quarter (?) he short armed it. Unless I had a bad angle on the TV he looked like if he dove, he would have caught it. 3. Cut Roscoe. He’s not worth a thing now. 20 yard loss on a punt return? Fumble? Cut him. 4. The bright spot the past few weeks is our interior D-line. Love how hard Stroud and Williams are still playing. 5. 2/17 and 23 yards with a pick, and that’s the winning QB’s stats? Are you kidding me? 6. They have got to find a way to get Owens in the game. Nice couple of catches, but needs to handle the ball at least 10 times a game. The reverse was nice, but need him on the field at our goal line instead of on the bench. 7. Is Steve Johnson still on this team, and why isn’t he playing? Couldn't hurt and get some game experience. 8. I’ve defended Trent in the past, but can’t any longer. Although, I wonder how he would look if the O-line gave him some time. Needs to just toss the long ball and see what happens. He couldn't do any worse than he already is. 9. Speaking of Trent. If I were the defensive coordinator of any team we play this year, I would instruct my defensive backs to play within 10 yards of the line of scrimmage. Ya know Trent won’t even look past those 10 yards downfield before he checks down. Although he did have a few nice runs. 10. I want DJ fired. It won’t happen anytime soon, but at least I can dream. 11. The last two Browns wins have been against the Bills. Again. The last two Browns wins have been against the Bills. Wow. 12. What do we do at MLB? My best guess is Mitchell is done for the season and who knows about Buggs. Time to sign a veteran, or at the least Bowen. Paul P. should be back in a few weeks. 13. Time to do something about this O-line. Many penalties and Trent on the run most of the game. I know Runyan is old and why is Levi Jones not signed, but my God, could they be any worse than what we have?? 14. I want DJ fired. Oh, I said it earlier, but what the heck , I WANT DICK FIRED! 15. Clean house. Scouts, front office, draft guys, coaches, everyone. Unless Ralph could really care less about this team, he needs to do something now. Once Ralph's pocketbook is hit, maybe he'll make some changes. I know he's sold out most, if not all of the games this year thanks to Russ, but wait till next year. No way we have 50k plus season tix sold. 16. Lastly, I know I've posted in the past I wouldn't care about this team this year after they didn't fire DJ after last season, but they got me again. They looked OK in preseason and almost won against the Pats. They got my attention. Now, what can I say other than I am passionate again. Passionate for change and hopefully better times for us Bills fans.
  20. Twitter. Your 24 hour news source. Actually I hope it's true and DJ is fired. Probably not though.
  21. You have to have a log in to view now. Plenty of old posts this week regarding this.
