I hate it when they show the Bills in Albany!! It has a negative impact on my NFL Ticket cost per game.

I am trying to see if I understand this thread so here it goes: blue collar fan = rowdy drunken fan white collar fan = polite tennis like fan..looks like that class warfare strategy is working very well! And we should have no rules and when there are rules we do not like we should ignore them and have a small civil riot. I have been a season tick holder for 22 years, got my own seats when I turned 21 and this thread is why I can no longer attend games. When the buttheads finally invaded my section I could not enjoy the experience at all. It's funny how we have multiple threads about the Bills leaving, but ultimately we will kill this team ourselves by forcing away fans that yes want a winner, but also don't want to be puked on.

You are correct if Wang is pronouncing it.

Da'Norris Searcy - He will get some playing time and I really believe he is talented. Thigpen - Fitz will miss some time this year (when was the last time a Bills QB made 16 games) and Thigpen will be very successful. No this does not mean a QB controversy, just a talented back up.

I just searched the DVR and Bears vs. Bills is scheduled for 8/14 at 7pm NFL Network on. None of the other games show up yet.

As this process drags on..I just heard Michael Lombardi on NFLN say "As negotiations drag out, that almost always means the team the player wants to sign with is no the highest bidder." He was not talking about Clabo, he was making an observation of why negotiations can drag on.

I have been on NFLN for a week straight all day (I work at home) and I have not once even checked in with ESPN. I like everyone at NFLN, except Dukes he is just a loud mouth.

I think just the opposite, if Atl and Bills offers are close he makes easy choice to stay. To me the delay may be the Bills made a better offer and he is hoping Atl matches otherwise he signs with Blo.

I was assigned a torch! Wanna trade?

Actually, I think these guys.

I was thinking the same names, but also Mary Owen Ralph's niece.

I have not seen anyone from the Bills organization, they mentioned earlier that all 32 owners are here or an individual with voting power. Does that mean Ralph is not there?

Last year the Bills spent 105.3M in salary, I would expect them to stay as close as possible to that number this year. http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2010/09/19/team-by-team-salary-cap-numbers-if-there-were-a-salary-cap/

I do understand what you are saying, but nothing is ever equal and I believe we are talking about 2 different things. My factual observation needs no sample size and may be an exception to the rule, but it is correct. Did I say in my post that all teams that spend less are winners? No, I just was making the point you do not have to spend money to win. If I was not clear with that thought then what I type and think are not the same.

I believe my initial point was not theoretical, but factual. The two teams that spent the least were Tampa and KC both won 10 games. See that's easy no argument because it is fact.

But..but that can't be accurate! The two "cheapest" teams made the playoffs and each won 10 games! I thought it was proven you had to spend to win..

..and comfort!

Since there is going to be a NewNFL, doesn't that prove the league is not a monopoly? The monopoly argument has always amazed me, how does the NFL limit the growth of another league? Just because other leagues have failed does not prove a monopoly. Finally, why can't the NFL as an employer tell an employee where they can work? My employer can move my position at anytime and if I want to stay employed I can move.

If you look at the entire season Sanchize = 20.6 points per game(15 games, I did not count the Bills game because he barely played) Fitzy = 19.9 points per game for 13 games. Very little difference despite the talent difference of the rosters.

I immediately thought of Detroit! With very little research you can find that over the past 10 years Detroit has one season with more wins than the Bills (2010 Det 6, Buf 4) and for the 10 year trend Detroit has 39 wins vs. the Bills 62! They don't even trend better, over the past 5 years Bills have 31 wins vs Detroit's 18 and that includes 0 wins as recently as 2008 for the Lions! But they are thought to be on the right track because they have Suh, Stafford and Calvin Johnson. While I know it is for only one season but our Johnson's stats are very similiar to Calvin Johnson in 2010.

Stevie did fine after the bye. Of the 11 games post bye he had at least 5 receptions in 9 of them, against Det. he caught only 3 balls, but Fitzy only completed 12 all game. 5 receptions per game is 80 receptions in a year and that is not bad. My concern is what does he do as the number one guy and he did OK without Lee at the end of the season, so I have hope. Easley and the other young guys will help take the pressure off Stevie.

I may be very wrong, but wouldn't this approach require you to make payments with interest? So the interest would eat away at your equity...even if the lender was going to defer interest and payments,they would come due at his death...that would mean Ralph would have to get more interest from the investments he made with the money that was loaned than the interest on the loan.. Now I am even more confused...he should will the team to me..I will sell 49% of the team to cover the taxes..

I love the visitors side, that's where the sun hangs out! I am in 113 row 11 (been there since 1986) and in the super bowl years it was great to see the defeated look on the opponent's face when they came back to the sideline. Now, they are usually all smiles.

There is also no reason to release a guy that has inside info on your draft thoughts and player evaluations, so you dump him post draft.

I hear what you are saying, but this is not about getting love, every team was graded. We are agreeing because what I think you are saying is we got a bad grade because we are not relevant instead of grading the players taken and using the same grading measurement.
