I also think Smith is an asset. I am not fond of the wildcat but I still think he can be used to an advantage. After 50 years, I have come to expect what happened today. But going into the season I could only think I was going to be really excited about watching the Bills when they went on D. I can honestly say, in those 50 years, I can't remember watching a D that was worse. The talent the Cowboys had on D in the early 90's must have truly been amazing, considering who their DC was. Maybe the other D coaches made up for it. Wade, I really miss you.

If the Colts would have played last year, like the Bills have played the last two games, the league would have denied them the First pick based on conspiracy to obtain a better draft pick.

In another thread, I read that Ralph is a meddling owner. So the above list is "involved" but Ralph is meddling. Basically, if Norwood made that kick, Ralph would have changed his image.

I don't know if I agree with your conclusion but I certainly applaud the effort.

I liked the way Gilmore made the tackle when he was knocked out of the game. It reminded me of George Saimes, who was one of the surest tackles the Bills have ever had. Takes some courage to tackle that way. Fitz = Tebow When he is good he can be great but when he is not you get a lot of INT's. They are both streaky. They both have a lot of confidence in themselves, or more directly, they don't fear forcing the ball into a receiver. Again this gives mixed results. Lasty, why was Fitz in the game in the last 10 minutes? Did they really think they could come back? If Fitz is your #1, why would you risk injury to him? I really don't understand the coaching staff on that. That rings true for Spiller and Jackson also.

That is very true.

That is so funny because it is what I thought also.

It is still early in the season, but KC may be on the march to the first pick. So how can you judge a team when they play against the Chiefs? Then, add in how many bad throws Cassel had and the game would have been a lot closer. Funny how fans see the bad throws and missed opportunities by their QB, but you tend ignore those of the other guy. It really helps the defense look good. And I can say that without being pessimistic.

You ever watch Jim Kelly?

If they assumed they would show up, the spread would not be that close.

I believe Fitz wasn't pulled because they were afraid to put Thigpen in. If they would not put him in today, Fitz will have to be unable to play to get them to put him in. I'm guessing he is gone as soon as TJ is ready.

That call could have gone either way with whatever ref's were out there. IMO I thought the refs were at least as good as the normal refs and one hellofalot better than the Bills were. If there was a bad call it was on the Bills interception where the foot was clearly over the end line. There are always a few that could go either way. Who knows how many non-calls were made today.

I'd like to hear that story.

I'd be interested in the Cost of the stadium per game/event over the years. I know there have been a few non football events over the years but not many that I can remember.

Nice to see you posting.

I'm a bit surprised that not much is being made of the Jets coming off a bye week. I think that did contribute to the outcome today.

I don't get what your trying to say. Care to explain?

My link I don't think anyone posted this link, but it shows Marv's opinion of the team at the start of the season. He wasn't too happy to see his guys go. I think in Marv's opinion, his guys were not the problem.

Playing the Bengals, a weak team, after a big emotional win. That will give us an idea of what this team is really made of. And just two short years ago, it seemed our receivers were never open. What happened?

Fulton was untouched by the great depression. I like to say we got a running start for the second one.

Does this mean no team in the league thought he was worth a 3rd?

When I read the title of the thread, James was the first person to come to mind. He is my favorite all-time Bill. Truly an amazing player. You should probably add fearless to your list. Wasn't afraid to throw his body at anyone.

My memory of this is a bit different. The Bills were going to franchise Bennett but he told the Bills 'don't worry I'm staying". Then, as soon as he had his freedom, signed with Atlanta.

So in the most important draft of your life, you drafted a QB. Then you admittedly didn't treat her well which was like playing the QB behind a terrible offensive line. I'm assuming in this case the QB said I'm not gonna take it anymore and dropped out of football i.e. divorced you. Then, your looking back and sayingyou probably screwed up by not giving the QB a real chance to succeed. So life is just like the Buffalo Bills but the Bills haven't found their keeper yet. And don't take any of this personally, as it wasn't about you but was intended to show how the NFL draft is really like getting married. You don't always succeed but at the time the choice looks like an all pro. Also, it may not work out because it was just a bad pick or the team just didn't supply the right atmosphere for the draftee to succeed.
