It also happens when someone tries to put a hanger on the fire nozzle in the room, also early in the morning. I hope everyone here knows not to do that. Not good for your hotel bill.

And I just saw a report this week on TV, of how the ice on the Great Lakes is early. It is threatening to reduce the shipping on the lakes. Guess it all depends where you are.

Great post Nanker.

I have always had the view that the largest number of people in Syracuse follow the Giants. I still do. Retailers have to make money to stay in business. Giant colors far outnumber Bills colors on retail shelves. They do it because it sells better. You also see more Giant clothing being worn. I will say this though, signing Marrone as coach has picked up interest.

Vanna, i would like to buy a vowel.

If you never saw Dennis Shaw pass, today should give you a good idea of what he was like. Especially the long passes that were always just a little short and up for grabs. Although considering it was only his second start, I thought Tuel did pretty well. I'd be willing to bet that next year KC doesn't win 8 games. Everything is going their way this year. It won't two years in a row. At the very least, the Bills are certainly entertaining this year.

RIP You missed one of the key points in those broadcasts. When someone got a hit, I believe he banged to pieces of wood together to make the sound of the ball hitting the bat. The aural image of those games is as clear to me now as they were back then. He had a great voice for broadcasting.

Any details??

I was on the James Harris bandwagon from the start. Read an article after the draft how Harris and OJ would lead the Bills into the promised land. Saw Harris in camp. What an arm. I would still bet he had the best arm in Bills history. Could throw the ball through the swinging tire damn near every time. I am still not sure what went wrong besides his mysterious stomach ailment. The only really bad thing I can remember about him is he threw the 10 yard pass with the same velocity as the 60 yard pass.

How would you know that. His body was never found.

My comment had no Polian content. It was a Levy blew it comment. If Marv wasn't so good with a quote, he wouldn't have been considered so succussful. But I do give Marv credit. The perfect coach to lose 4 straight Super Bowls, but also the perfect coach to actually go to 4 under those circumstances.

I have always believed this.

Nice original post and an even better chart. Thanks to you both.

is give Easely a chance. You should know the melody. I thought I would throw some "Instant Karma" at this.

I assume you mean Peyton because he is worth way more than Eli.

I agree. The clock is running on Marrone. If Freeman outplays EJ, I don't think they would go back to EJ. So if Freeman wants a multi-year contract, this scenario would work for him. On the other hand, if Freeman wants to be a free agent next year, he signs with the Bills for one year, with the opportunity to show how good he is. I think the Bills are the best option for him in either case.

That was sarcasm. I am not sure knowing Hackett's system is worth anything, so to me it is a minus.

He knows Hackett's offense. Is that a plus or a minus?

There is a tendency to forget what Farve's last few years looked like. They weren't that pretty. I doubt he would get the Bills to the playoffs. And his arm, although it was one of the best ever, is now even older. I think Dixon and Freeman are both better choices. Sometimes retreads work. Jim Plunkett anyone?

I voted for Van Miller but only because Lou is not eligible at this time. Oddest thing though, without Ralph the Bills would be gone. You could probably say the same thing about Lou. Lou build the base many of the old time fans here still live on.

I have to not like facial hair to be a Bills fan? I guess that would disqualify me. Of course the question could mean on women. If they mean on women, proceed to being a Bills fan.

And after they monitor it, what do they do?

I believe the point he was trying to make was the time taken before the snap. As they pointed out, they snapped the ball with about 20 seconds left. So 9 plays at 20 seconds makes the game 3 minutes shorter. Very well could have made a difference. And if we start splitting hairs, yes maybe it wasn't 20 seconds a play, but it does add up.

Since it is on both does that mean the loss is on Doug, and Marrone.

I voted throwback. That was a good football team. There are two things that strike me about the no goal. The first is, there was a goal called back against the Sabres, in what I believe was one of the last three games of the season. I think Ward was the goal scorer. The second thing is that any other year, Hull's goal was a goal. I believe that was the only year that rule was in affect.
