  1. Mine would be the greatest comeback game against the Houston Oilers in the wildcard playoff game. I was so depressed at halftime of that game and on top of the world by games end. Everywhere I went that afternoon, people were congradulating me on the Bills winning. It was a great day that I'd like to relive.
  2. I think the next Super Bowl the Bills will play in is Super Bowl 45 in Dallas TX in 2011. That's only two years away. What is your best guess?
  3. Personally, the 1985 Chicago Bears are the best super bowl team I've ever seen. Forget the undefeated dolphins of 72, the Bears of 85 are something I'm not sure I will ever see again. Your thoughts?
  4. Don Beebe was a true blue Buffalonian. I remember when he won the Super Bowl with the Green Bay Packers and he said that when he won, he was winning it for the Bills fans and for all those players he played with during that run in Buffalo. Are there any players on our roster right now that remind you of this guy? He gave his all to our franchise - even when he was gone, he had us on his mind.
  5. http://www.remembertheafl.com/AFL.htm It's a great stroll through Buffalo Bills memory lane.
  6. Every time the super bowl rolls around, I think about Gale Gilbert and how he lost four straight super bowls with us and one with San Diego (5 total). It got me thinking, did he ever start a game for us in the regular season? I don't think he did, but I can't remember. Someone help me here.
  7. I may be in the minority, but I miss our white helmets from the 70's (the one with the buffalo we have on our helmet now, not the standing buffalo). I wish we'd bring those back. Unfortunately, those helmets were worn during the losing years. Regardless, I do wish we'd bring those back.
  8. Is it just me, or do the refs always seem to make the calls in Pittsburgh's favor when they are in the big games? The Seahawks should have won SB 40; however, the refs made the calls that needed to happen in order for Pitt to win it all. I know there isn't a real conspiracy going on; however, it makes me angry that they always get the calls they need. For example, the hit on Willis at the end of the game was helmet to helmet, regardless of what idiotic Phil Simms said on the broadcast. Yet, when I looked for the yellow flag for helmet to helmet, I couldn't find it.
  9. We already have a great WR in the making. His name is Steve Johnson and his number is 13.
  10. Three out of the four teams left in this NFL final four have a great run defense and they run the ball well. Arizona might be the exception; however, even they are trying to run the ball more in the playoffs. I wonder when the Bills brass will figure out this simple equation.
  11. For eight years, I have watched our Bills on the NFL Sunday ticket. Last season I decided it wasn't worth spending $300 plus on per year. I am trying to find ways to save $ with the economy we have. Sad to say, after the Bills performance each week, I'm glad I saved my money. I probably won't get it next year. Anyone else do the same thing with season tickets, individual game tickets, NFL Sunday ticket, etc. this past season? I get the feeling a lot of Bills fans are going to start cutting back on the Bills if this team doesn't make some serious strides.
  12. Putting butts in seats, selling concessions, and people purchasing your team's merchandise is the key to any successful business venture in sports. Any businessman or woman will tell you that it's hard to keep a customer base coming back to your store when the product you offer them is less than satisfactory. Come Monday morning, we will learn of Jauron's firing on the way to work or over breakfast and then we will all have a renewed sense of hope in the future of our Bills. Regardless of who the new coach will be, this will cause us to show up again next season in full force (aka - spending more $ on this product). For example, whoever we choose with the 1st pick in the NFL draft will result in that particular jersey being purchased countless times between the draft and the start of the regular season. It's all about making money (always has been) and that's what I feel Ralph will base his decision on come Monday morning. If he does what I think he will do, I'll think of Nick Nolte's line from the movie BLUE CHIPS: "There goes HAPPY, headed for the cash machine".
  13. I've never been able to get used to calling our stadium "RALPH WILSON" or "THE RALPH". I can still hear Miller saying "welcome to Rich Stadium" in my mind. It will always be Rich to me. If our team is so strapped for cash that we have to play one game per year in Toronto, why didn't Ralph sell the naming rights to the stadium a few years back instead of naming it after himself.
  14. EX NFL Coaches that could land in Buffalo: Steve Mariucci or Jim Fassel. Butch Davis also comes to mind. Anyone else think of any that could possibly wind up in Buffalo? I don't think Ralph will spend what it takes to bring in Bill Cowher. Ralph is all about selling seats; therefore, DJ is gone Monday morning. Then we can rebuild yet again. I feel like we are in the Bills version of Groundhog Day.
  15. I enjoy this board. It's fun to speculate on who we should have drafted last year, who we should draft this year, why we collapsed this year, whether or not we should fire our coach, who the QB should be and why, debating whether we should renew our tickets or not, etc... The questions we bring up are for the most part legit; however, remember who is at the top when you ask those questions. The elephant in the room is RALPH WILSON - every question we bring up from day-to-day goes directly back to him. Ralph hires the personnel that makes the decisions that affect us on the field. Detroit sucks because of their owner. The Raiders suck because of their owner. Look at every franchise that struggles and ask yourself how many coaches they've had in a 10 year span. If it's more than one, you probably have a losing franchise. Ask yourself, who hires and fires those coaches and you're back to the elephant in the room. I like Ralph because he created this team that I love, because he has kept it in Buffalo, etc... However, I know he's the one responsible for the product we currently have.
  16. Ralph is the reason we suck. Just like Al Davis is the reason the Raiders suck. Look at any business, it starts at the top.
  17. Ralph thinks we don't have enough talent on the field to win games. He needs to look in the mirror. RALPH is the one that lacks talent at his job. It starts at the top. He is in control of every major move of this organization. If he doesn't think we have enough talent on the field, then he needs to go out and buy the big name players every time free agency comes around. The truth is, he's not going to do that. He'll just keep firing coaches and laying blame at the players feet. For once, I'd like to hear him come out and say he's responsible for this mess we have had since the late 90's.
  18. Rob Johnson is my all time worst jersey purchase. Yours?
  19. Once Jerry Jones dumps Wade at the end of the season, Ralph could always bring him back. However, Ralph would probably hire him and then refuse to pay him again, just for old times sake. Heck, we ought to kick the tires on Mularkey one more time. Seriously though, once I start to think about all of the decisions of the Bills front office over the past 10 to 15 years, I realize that our ship really has no rudder.
  20. “It’s huge,” said Trent Edwards. “I’m very, very excited about coach Jauron getting extended. That just shows the effort that he’s put into this organization and that just shows the backing that the organization has for him. I’m very, very excited that he’s here for the next… a three-year extension is what I heard.” “That puts a lot of the players in this locker room at ease knowing that our head coach is going to be here and he’s not going anywhere else. He’s ours and we’re going to play for him the rest of this season the next three following that. So it’s nice to have that set aside and it’s very, very well deserved I would say too.” Ouch! I wonder if Trent wishes he had that interview back?
  21. Someone needs to remind Donte of that guarantee. Wonder what he would say now if a reporter brought that up from this past summer? I'm glad he said it back then and I'm glad he believed it; however, I wish the coaching staff and some other players would have worked towards the same goal that he had.
  22. I saw on the NFL today that Marty S could possibly be going back to Cleveland as their HC. Hurry up Ralph! Bring Marty ball to Buffalo.
  23. In the offseason, I say we make a trade for Vince Young. The titans are going to unload him and I think he'd be a great backup to Edwards. Reminder, for all those who say he isn't NFL material, I would remind you that he took the Titans to the playoffs the past two years.
