A friend & I went to Grovers two weeks ago - those burgers are everything people said they were! Bill came to $26.00 & out comes the Amex. "Sorry no credit cards." $%^^&$%!!!! Luckily we had $30 in cash between us. Strangely enough, LaHacienda does take personal checks.

Grover's in Amherst mentioned above is cash only, as is LaHacienda in the Falls. A bit OT, but is refusal to accept plastic at popular restaurants a WNY thing or is it like that in other places around the US?

Rogers basically bought the Bills for the day and moved the game to Toronto. Therefore it will be viewed as a sellout whether he can resell all the tickets or not.

Don't be forgettin' the Beeeooows OC, Turk Zonert!

Nah. I'll just call you an attention seeking whore. I'd rather read 50 pages of Dean and BeerBall than one post of your self serving BS. The KING? LOL. Get over yourself. You'll be gone soon enough.

Not to cast asparagus onto the City or the Contractor, but isn't this pretty much SOP for WNY? Look at the failure of the 219 extension. Look at the gas prices. Look at the Peace Bridge. When the Bills win, none of the above matter.

Kelso, +1. Interesting that both are now accused of "holding the ball too long" etc., etc. Edwards is more suited for the Bills' intensive porpoises. I bet JP would thrive next to Fouts in the Err Coryell scheme. Thanksgiving disclaimer: As God is my witness, I thought turkeys could fly.

How soon IS now?

Jimmy Carl Black RIP Had the pleasure of meeting the man several times. A true Gentleman, great drummer, and Indian of the Group. http://www.jimmycarlblack.com/

1Bills, I am on board. None of this Edwards this, Losman that, Fewell didn't, Peters can't... Just beat the damned Pats*. Better yet, beat up on them while you are outscoring them. I know that is an ungentlemanly suggestion for our oh-so-proper coaching staff, but sometimes boys must be boys, eh wot?

Not to be a wet sponge, but offenses learned how to neutralize #97/55. They blocked him away from the play, making him run longer than it took for the QB to release the ball. The knee injury didn't help matters, either.

Sorry to interrupt the other points in the thread, but I would like to say one thing: I knew we were in trouble when TD hired Greggo, and allowed him to blow up the #2 defense from the previous year due to arrogance (GW's). If we had kept the late '90s (dare I say Wade's/Ted Cottrell's) defensive system & players, and focused on improving the offense, the team would have been far better off. But no, we had to go to the smoke & mirrors defense of Jerry Gray and (to a lesser extent) Dick LeBeau. Now we are in a modified cover 2, which needs perfect execution, especially from a light & quick front four to succeed. When they (front four) don't succeed, we see wide open receivers splitting the zone with no defender within 3 yards. That is my gripe with Donahoe. He let a top defense evaporate.

Allegedly it was roadkill, dragged through the front door and left a trail of blood.

And you are going to last as long around here as you did with your old screen name. Keep crusading, Skippy.

I've had this clipping from the paper hanging on my fridge door since sometime in the mid 1990's. It's a letter to the sports editor written by one Brian ******** from Cheektowaga. It's titled "Dumping on the Dolphins". I hope the ladies and gents here like it as much as I do: " As a longtime Bills follower, I spent the past few months listen- ing to national media people an- nouncing the demise of the Bills. It is true we are rebuilding, but it is a wonder to be 8-4, despite in- juries and inexperience. I watched with great pleasure the dismantling of Miami at home by the 49ers. I now will enjoy writ- ing the obituary for an organiza- tion long overdue to receive it. In 1985, Miami lost the AFC Championship game. In 1986, Miami finished 8-8 and out of the playoffs. In 1988, Miami finished 6-10 and out of the playoffs. In 1989 Miami gave up 69 points in two consecutive losses to finish 8-8 and out of the playoffs. In 1990 Miami wound up 12-4 but lost to Buffalo in the playoffs 44-34, giving up 434 yards. In 1991, Miami at 8-6 alowed 61 points in its final two losses to finish out of the playoffs. In 1992, Miami lost the AFC Championship Game to Buffalo, surrendering 358 yards and com- mitting five turnovers. In 1993, Miami entered Decem- ber 9-2, and gave up 33 points per game in five straight losses to miss the playoffs. In 1994, ahead 21-15 in an AFC semifinal, Miami allowed San diego to move 60 yards for the winning touchdown. I can't wait to see what hap- pens this year. Despite spending millions of dollars, this remains a group of underachievers who fin- ger point when faced with adversi- ty and lack the fiber of a champi- onship team. It amazes me to watch probably the best coach of all time tolerate selfishness and lack of discipline and character."

Here's mine, 'cause I was there! 1. Bills 34, Dolphins 31 OT- October 25th, 1987- Joe Robbie Stadium 1987 would mark the first time since 1966 that the Bills would sweep the Dolphins, and the first game of that season series was a memorable one. The Bills were down 21-0, but battled back and won the game in OT on a Scott Norwood field goal. IIRC Robb Riddick (one of my all-time favorite Bills) scored 3 or 4 touchdowns in this one

We DID fight to keep Cribbs. His agent was Jerry Argovitz, who was a silent partner in the USFL. He pulled Cribbs and Billy Sims to that league with his conflict-of-interest dealings with the Bills and Lions. Cribbs "almost" signed his contract with the Bills several times, only to come back with another set of demands. Same for Sims. Detroit sued the pants off that Texan SOB.

Crossed lines here, EII. I was disagreeing in the strongest way with the newbie's post "If Edwards had not been hurt in AZ the Bills would be 6 - 0 right now." JPL did not lose that game, the defense did. Last I checked, Trent doesn't play defense. And I'll go on to say that as long as Mr. Losman is a member of the Buffalo Bills, I will hope and expect for him to play lights out and lead this team to success any time he is under center. If and when he leaves the Bills after this season as a FA, I wish him well, and will root for him to succeed in every game that is not played against my Buffalo Bills. I have my favorite and not-so-favorite players on this team, but for a so-called Bills fan (not talking about you, BTW) to revel in JP's struggles is counterproductive, and even dare I say, traitorus.

Baloney. I hope your hate for JP gives you an ulcer. And your namesake is a Satan worshipping thief, just ask Willie Dixon.

Joe who?

If you go to Canada as many posters have suggested, make sure you bring either Birth Certificates (originals - not copies) or passports with you so you don't have a hassle coming back in to the US! My list would look like Fez's, except substitute Buzzy's with LaHacienda (Niagara Falls, NY - No credit cards accepted!)

So what do youse guys & gals think? 1) Bills knew of McC's problem and hoped it flew under Indy's radar? 2) Bills didn't know of the injury due to their oversight? 3) McCargo hid problem / didn't know about it? I don't know what to think at this point.
