  1. I'll second that....
  2. It's always so easy to dismiss another, isn't it, rather than to add something to a discussion? Almost all topics discussed here are known, in large degree, by many others yet discussions do ensue. Sure we all know that our defensive line was truly offensive in it's inability to rush the passer, yet the tidbits brought up truly underscored how bad they were. My only disagreement with the original post was that Schobel missed more games than he played and that hurt the Bills heavily. His numbers were weak when he went down, but he was still our best pass rusher and was sorely missed.
  3. Tasker was truly an outstanding Special Teams gunner, yet let us not forget who was probably the best "big" man Special Teamer. That was Mark Pike, who could never find a full time position as DE, or as an LB, yet on Special Teams, he ( to this poster) was the Bill's best Special Teamer. He often took on the wedge and yet still made the tackle. While Tasker (as a gunner) got the press and the glory, Mark Pike went on to be the all-time NFL leader in tackles. This is not meant to diminish what Tasker achieved, but only to point out that he may not have actually been our best Special Teams player.
  4. Not to mention that his rubber band arm is due for yet another rotator cuff tear. Pennington ..... if he only had an arm, he "coulda been a contenda"....
  5. Precisely !!!
  6. Just as long as you don't pet your peeve....
  7. Ralph as a pioneer and one of the AFL founders, and Bruce for being a supremely talented DE over his long career. As for Bruce's character, it wasn't bad enough that it would cost him so there's little point in discussing it now. Save that for a later day. As for Andre, he too is hugely deserving and may I add, he was better than Carter IMHO. Reed was also far more explosive with the yards after catch. Carter is, well......an ass.
  8. Eric Mould did have a great 4-5 year period where he was tough, but his big plays generally came from outside routes. He wasn't shy about going over the middle, but he never came close to being a game breaker with the over the middle route like Andre often was.
  9. Frankly? No one, not since Andre Reed's prime have the Bills had this as a consistent weapon or threat.
  10. .....hummmm.... Would have thought you might have mentioned, "IMHO" (in my humble opinion), but then again....
  11. Now that's a contribution to the discussion (sarcasm on....)
  12. I've been an NFL Sunday Ticket subscriber since it's inception (1994). I began watching Bills game via my old 10 foot dish (C-band, then Ku-band) in 1988. In 1994, all games were scrambled and the birth of the "ticket", which was available to all big dish subscribers (videocipher II scrambled signal). I believe it was 1998 approximately that DTV got the exclusive rights to the "ticket" and that's when DTV solicited me to join them. Little choice there. I did.... This year I too posed a question to DTV's customer service, which was that I'll never pay for the Super Fan if I don't get a free peek, especially after all my years of being a subcriber. They agreed and this yearm I had the Super fan package for the first time. Mainly just wanted the HD though. I do have an issue though withg having to pay $10.00 per month additional for HD, and then having to buy the Superfan package on top of it all to get the NFL in HD. "Fezmid" may disagree, but we're being fleeced for the HD in particular.
  13. Jeez.... Todd simply never knew when to shut the hell up.... Good riddance.
  14. The pro bowl is a game that has never interested me and never will. Sure I've watched a few minutes of it from time to time, but if I have anything (and I mean anything at all) to do or needs to be done....
  15. Of the list, Sims may be a bit intriguing as a backup. But then, we already have Hamden who may be better anyway. I just don't see the others as our backup.... I supect we'll be staying with Hamden and possibly a rookie...
  16. Again, the "Dean" hits home with this fan as well. Am I happy with Jauron, emphatically NO. Can he lead this team forward to success? From what I've seen from him I don't believe that's very likely. Will I be there next year on game day, even if from the comfy confines of my bar? God willing, you bet I will be..............
  17. I've been a fan ever since the 1966 season in which the Bills lost badly to Kansas City in the AFL Championship. We could have been the first AFL team to go to what was a few year to be known as the Super Bowl. Alas....... I'm 53........(with a coming birthday right around the corner), and agree with the "Dean" wholeheartedly with respect to bandwagon fans.....
  18. Could not have been better said. Reminds me of John McKay's (Tampa Bay Bucs origin head coach) "execution" comment.........
  19. Well, now that we approach the weekend after our last game of 2008, and that I've had a few days to digest the fact that Mr. Ivy League Idiot will continue as our HC, I know in my heart that I will still be a Bills fan forever. I recall 1968 and the 1-12-1 Bills, the 1971 1-13 Bills, the 2-12 1976 Bills, the 3-11 1977 Bills, the 1984 2-14 Bills , the 2-14 1985 Bills, and th 3-13 2001 Bills. Those teams were all brutally horrible and painful to watch yet week in and week out I returned. Year after year, decade after decade. Yeah, despite my belief that Jauron is one monumental moron (game and time management in particular), I will return to cheer my beloved Bills on and cursing the day Jauron was born. That and I will continue to look for reasonably priced Bills novelties that would look good in my Bills Bar and Rec rooms, but you can bet your bottom dollar that the likeness of the Ivy League wonder will never be seen in my home, except on television. As far as Mr. Wilson is concerned, I have very mixed feelings about him, his team decisions, and how committed he is at this stage in his life to build a winner. I guess he feels he'll live forever.
  20. Denney and Mitchell, each with 4.
  21. Ok, aren't you folks carrying it a bit too far? We draft 10th, amazing with the 5-1 start.....courtesy of the 2-9 finish.
  22. .....But Skoob has a nicer car.....
  23. Alone? Maybe not, but you're definitely in the minority....a seriously small minority.
  24. How cheap is he willing to work?
