I think people should cancel their tickets until the Bills move out of WNY!
That will show 'em!
I won't be happy until I have no reason to be happy!

'Skins are going to take a WR, too, I bet

Trading your very-early second and an early 4th for a very-late first isn't a big deal. The Pack didn't drop that many spots.

The Bills used the 23rd pick in the 2003 draft on a guy coming off a catstrophic knee injury (that's still difficult to watch). For better or for worse, Willis is no longer with us -- although I wouldn't say that he's "gone to a better place" -- so what is the take-away lesson from all of this? I call the overall situation "The Willis Experiment" because the Bills seemed to go out of their way to take a chance on a guy who would almost certainly not -- and didn't -- play during the 2003 season.
Simple: Don't draft severely injured talent, no matter how good he projects. I tend to think that Willis is misunderstood by the haters, but even more misunderstood by the Ravens, but one thing is true: the Bills lost a whole season of productivity from one of their first round draft picks. This is unacceptable, especially considering how things worked out. Of course, if Willis turned into pre-insanity OJ Simpson, I wouldn't be writing this. But the chances of that happening in today's NFL are not worth an entire season of missed action.
Now, I'm not here to play the game of who was available when the Bills selected McGahee (Larry Johnson, Dallas Clark, Anquan Boldin, etc...), but I'm a little jilted at the way Mr. McGahee left. The Bills stuck their neck out for this kid in a time when no one was ringing his phone and he ended up taking the low road out of town. I'm not amused. Never again should the Bills take a risk like they did with McGahee.
And that is the take-away lesson.

I get the same feeling from this signing as I did last year with....Josh Reed.
I want to poke fun, but we all know how Reed worked out.
Josh "Hands" Reed!
Coy "Stonewall" Wire?

Anyone have a picture or screen shot of this?

I'll be there tomorrow bright and early (around nooner).
There are actually way more Bills fans than we have in the Bills room (yes, we have our own room -- with two huge flatscreen TV's), but some people have a custom of sitting at the bar or going to the back room in the bar.
See "yins" there.

Yup. We already got some stuff (a FatHead for example), but the Bills will send more if a bunch more people sign up as official Pittsburgh-based Bills backers. You can do that on buffalobills.com.
See you on Sunday (hopefully)!

UPDATE: In recognition of the Pittsburgh Bills Backers, the Bills sent us some cool stuff to put up in the bar. How cool
Also, there are currently 165 Bills Backers in Pittsburgh....cool.
-
Certainly allowed and encouraged to come! No ID checks or anything -- unless you're attempting to buy some beer. (And even then...lol).
Buffalo Blues is actually pretty good even for families during normal business hours...but not during gametime! Hope to see you there...

From our fearles leader Grant:
Hello everyone,Football is finally here! The Bills play the Pats this Sunday at 1pm, and what better way to watch it then with loads of fellow Bills fans?
The official meeting place of the Pittsburgh Bills Backers is Buffalo Blues ( http://www.b2restaurants.com/buffaloblues/index.php) and the time is this Sunday at Noon when the bar opens. They know we are coming and are looking forward to seeing us. Invite some friends to come along, and encourage them to signup on BuffaloBills.com as a Bills Backer starting this Sunday (if they register before we won't get credit for a new member). If we get enough new members to signup on the website, the Bills will give us an autographed piece of equipment to proudly display in Buffalo Blues.

Buffalo Blues
216 S Highland Ave
Pittsburgh, PA 15206-3913 Map
(412) 362-5837
Doors open at noon on Sunday. If the agreement is the same as it was last year with us Bills fans (it's being finalized tonight), we'll have our own room/area with a big screen and sound. Wings are good (considering the area), food is good (I like the chicken quesadillas), and some okay drink specials if I recall.
See you there...

Surprised Shaud made it.
Surprised Coy survived again.
Surprised Ezekiel got the axe.

If we're in a situation where it matters who we have as the third stringer, it won't make a difference who the third stringer is.

This doesn't bode well for the WR's on the cusp...

Thanks, Florida_BillsFan!
Just ordered my Lee Evans jersey for $50 after shipping! Great deal.

Maybe there isn't that much difference between a 4th and 5th round OL?

“I know a lot of people see me in the paper hanging out in LA with people like Tara Reid and Paris Hilton, people who can actually make you dumber just be standing next you,” said Leinart. “But so what? I did that all through college and was still wildly successful. That’s because I’m in a different mindset when I’m on the field. The fact that I’m in a mindset at all is what makes it different. Off the field I don’t bother with things like mindsets.”
Most of what people say on parody news sites sounds stupid...

Stevie Johnson likes to rap, too.
Doesn't make sense to rag on a guy for a hobby of his just because he's not great at football.
