Heels20X6: Is that a picture of our new fullback in your avatar? I heard he was "jacked"....lol
LOL! I'm hoping that's him after a summer at Barry Bond's Conditioning Camp! He'll definitely create some holes for Lynch to run through!

Sorry....I even scanned looking for it....nuts.

Malone's a scumbag, it makes it all the better remembering the Bulls B word slapping of the Jazz in the NBA finals
Seriously, I've always hated that guy
I personally enjoyed it when he and Gary Payton went over to a stacked Lakers team to try and get the elusive ring and still got knocked out of the playoffs...
-
Yeah, I know he worked for the Raiders but he's got some nice things to say...

4. The Bills are a team to watch in 2008
Buffalo has been quiet but productive in the offseason. It made a trade adding Marcus Stroud to the defensive front, providing some much needed size. The Bills signed a versatile linebacker in Kawika Mitchell from the Giants. And in the draft they added top cornerback Leodis McKelvin, who will also help out in the return game, and big wide receiver James Hardy, who will complement speedsters Lee Evans and Roscoe Parrish.
But what really makes the Bills' potential off the charts is the return of linebacker Paul Posluszny, among others, to the 53-man roster. Posluszny, a second-round pick in 2007, joined 11 other Bills last year on injured reserve. The Bills weren't all that far off last season, finishing 7-9 but playing hard in every game.
You better believe the Patriots are paying attention. The Bills are healthy, they have added size to their defense and they keep adding players who impact the kicking game. With all the attention being paid to the Miami Dolphins' new regime and the Jets' spending in free agency, I think the Bills have flown under the hype radar in the AFC East and are in position to challenge for a playoff spot in 2008.

Exactly. Expect him to lay up in front of the water everytime, even when it's not that tough a shot. Expect him to let those behind him play-through.
Really, I thought Dick's strategy would be to play for par on every hole (even if he has a chance for a birdie or eagle) and hope that the rest of the golfers make mistakes and finish above par.

I met a nice guy and talked with him on a two hour flight tonight. After talking about business for quite a while, our conversaion shifted to football. After a bit, he said he played professional football. I asked if he was a receiver, but he said no, he was a Center back when he played. After talking awhile he mentioned the Bengals, then later mentioned going to the pro bowl, and later still being drafted in the first round. Eventually he told me he was the first Bengal ever drafted (in 1968) and was pressed into duty as a player representative because they knew he'd make the team.
Anyway, he was a cool guy, and I connected with him as a person first, and secondarily as a football player, one I admittedly had never heard of before meeting him (and researching him a bit now that I'm back on line). Apparently Bob is the only Bengal to ever have his number retired (#54).
Anyway, our conversation was pretty mundane, but it was very cool to talk to an old NFL player. I still can't beleive I thought he was a receiver! I guess he did retire almost 30 years ago (1979) and the guys weren't nearly as big back then.
So, I know this is a bit of a LAMP. I just thought I'd come share my experience....
Whew...for a second there I thought this story was going to go "Red Shoe Diaries" on us and end with a "Mile High" experience!
Just kidding! Great story though. the older generation of footballs had it all. Class, toughness and a pure love of the game.

Man I knew this board was full of ignorant toolboxes but I had no idea. No wonder I very rarely post here. Obviously to the neanderthals here it is better to sit down and lap up answers than stand up and ask questions when making a major commitment of time and money. Besides totally misreading my post, which a majority of you twits somehow managed to do (did I ever refuse to buy the season tickets?), there seems to be a noticable lack of any sort of suss when it comes to Wilson and the Bills organization.
It basically can be summed up like this: Football good, Ralph and Bills good, anybody who dare ask questions of above is "dik" (sic).
Christ I could go into any sports oriented bar in WNY and most if not all would agree with everything I have said...but here?
Sorry Darin, I guess you're not the only illiterate reactionary.
Using the thesaurus to prove your intelligent just furthers my theory that you're a pompous windbag. It's fairly obvious to all that have posted here that you are a narcissistic, self-seeking, grandstanding troglodyte (see I can use big words too) that expected high-fives and cheers for his pathetic post and now has to go on the defensive because he's been embarrassed with the reaction he didn't expect.
-
Football Darin, football marketing being discussed my man.
And what is ironic about a progressive questioning an entertainment corporation heavily subsistant on local and state welfare?
We're not talking marketing, we're talking about you giving yourself a verbal blow job because you think you showed up a young man making minimum wage trying to sell tickets to a team the rest of this city loves.
I am so sick of reading posts from you pompous, over-bearing morons who claim they're doing us a favour by refusing to support a "sub-par" product in a small market because "they're sending a message" to Ralph Wilson.
Ralph doesn't care what you think, I don't care what you think and the 80,000 faithful that show up every Sunday during the season sure as heck don't care what you think.
I hear your message and all I'm hearing from you is "I'M A DOUCHEBAG" being screamed until somebody turns around and gives you the attention you so desperately crave for your empty 'cause'.

Can we get another "amen" here?
How 'bout a HALLELUJAH!!! ?

Westinghouse is like a PMS-ing ex girlfriend who gained 30 pounds and runs into you and decides "she'll show you" by bitching you out. Little does she know that she's making a complete ass of herself in front of everyone, and everyone knows how truly pathetic she is.
Westinghouse....
You got:
CBS PWN3D!!!!!!!
Now back to your regularly scheduled JP and Trent bashing....
-
Evidently I fall under 'The Dean' alliance, based on Westinghouse's brilliant analysis.
I also fall under the 'Mock 'Tards Mercilessly' alliance and the 'The Bills Offense Still Sucks' Alliance.
I went to Hamburger University.

I loves me some Marshawn! Went out and bought an authentic Lynch jersey because he represents to me that fun-lovin', hard-playin' attitude that I love in an NFLer. And I fell in love with him that game against Denver, where he hard to run for a yard, he got clocked, lost his helmet but still pushed forward for that yard.
What a glorious run!

The Chroise is tugging at my heartstrings, but I am resisting. Was the Great Crash of '08 God's retribution? Is Chroise a false American Idol?
The Chroise is in all of us Beerball, look deep within and you can feel the power of Gilbert washing over you....

Last year, these teams had stats for at least 3 QBs:
Arizona, Atlanta, Baltimore, Carolina, Chicago, Cleveland, Green Bay, Kansas City, Miami, Minnesota, New England, New York Giants, New York Jets, Oakland, Philadelphia, San Francisco, Seattle, St. Louis and Tampa Bay.

But, 3rd string QBs NEVER see the field. I guess you're right.
PNW, you just got....
...PWN3D!!!
HAMDAN CHROISE STYLE BABEEEE!!!!

If your question is would I take A 3rd rounder for JP and Huard as my backup, my answer is yes, yes I would.
I too would be happy with Huard backing up Trent this season. My only concern is how long would it take for the "Bench Trent, Start Damon" calls to be had?
-
Why? Just because he showed up after a 3 month layoff doesn't mean the argument goes away dude. For a guy that completely fizzled out the way he did, to leave for three freaking months acting like a vested veteran was and still is wrong. Hate to break it to you, but it just might be that Trent's not into playing football as much as you guys like to think. He clearly wasn't too into being an offseason leader.
Wow. You don't have an agenda against Trent at all do you?
Look, for better or worse, Trent is our new starting QB, how about we not do like the Losman-Haters did and throw him under the bus before the season even starts?
I'll give him 7 starts this season before I make an evaluation on him. If he's great, that's great for Bills fans. If he's not...well, let's not think about that shall we....?
-
We have Lee Evans at WR that is better than any WR they have. And I would take Trent and his potential over an overrated Alex Smith and his injuries any day.
Don't you mean 'Shaun Hill'? I think he's the front-runner to be the starter next year. He's the Trent Edwards to Alex Smith's JP Losman in their fans' eyes.

Now we know why Hackett hasn't been to OBD.
I know...bad karma, bad karma!
Carolina...playoff contender...? Really?

This is true, winning teams sell out
I can guarantee that if the Sabres don't win the cup, or let either briere or Drury walk, there are going to be some pissed off season ticket holders
Once the team goes back to being mediocre/good, the bandwagon will empty out a bit and tickets will become easier to get again
What about a team like the Toronto Maple Leafs? The very definition of mediocre, yet they sell out every game, every night, year after year on the promise of hope.
Why can't the Bills have fans like that??
-
Better not have been for too much.
And time to contact the agents for June, Scott, and Harper. It's getting close to draft time. Probably can get them cheap.
What some people forget is that Harper played a few seasons for the Hamilton Ti-Cats so he'd be used to weather and climate of playing in Buffalo. I think he'd be a good fit.
-
Ya that is true. Did he weaken his hand to negotiate with other RB's now tho ?
The Church of Marv has always had me as a follower.
It's cheaper than Scientology!
Three picks for what was essentially a cast-off at season's end. Great move.

Hey guys, I picked this off of SI's Ten Spot:
"A Brazilian Web site is reporting that model Gisele Bundchen may be pregnant with boyfriend Tom Brady's child, just like Brady's ex, Bridget Moynahan. So now we know how Brady intends to find reliable pass receivers -- breed them."
So if true, that'll make two kids for Brady from two different moms about 2 months apart.
Seriously, him and Willis are going to have enough kids to put a new franchise in Toronto.
EDIT: My bad guys - I had this typed up about 3 hours ago and then it got thru due to my stupid internet connection. Kelly beat me to the punch
-
ok, you claim to be a bills "fan", but you dislike the team, hate the direction its going, and refuse to watch them or spend any money on them until they are good. To me, that sounds like the textbook definition of a bandwagon fan.
All I got to say is we Bills fans ain't got nothing on diehard Lions fans. You want to talk about suffering thru one bad front-office decision to another? That's the picture of frustration.
We've got it good in Buffalo, better than most posters on this board seem to believe.
-
I agree with this post 100%.
I want to know the pulse of other season ticket holders also. I'm in the same boat. Being from Virginia, I spend a ton of money making it to most of the Bills games every year. If they start being a farm team for the rest of the NFL, I'll cancel sometime in the next 2-3 years also.
I have a keen eye on what we are doing. While I think Marv has done an admirable job thus far, but if he is handcuffed by ownership, there is no hope for the fans. Ask Pittsburgh Pirates fans. It's pathetic.
Tickets aren't $10 anymore. If the NFL wants to run like a business, then they better put a good, competitive product on the field. It costs to much money nowadays, for people to blindly throw cash away at millionaires.
I don't think tater is referring to you in this case. You being from Virginia and owning season tix are above and beyond the call of a fan. What tater's b!tching about is the fact that people in WNY make a 'Bold' statement on the board about why they no longer want to buy tickets because of Ralph, Marv, the lunar eclipse..etc.
If someone was to come out and say: "Look I can't afford it so I have to give up my tix." No one would bat an eyelash.
It's the pompous, self-serving types that come on here and go: "I want to send a message to Ralph Wilson. I refuse to renew my ticket because...blah...blah...blah"...shut the f#ck up already~!
No one would call you fairweather if you said: "Look I live in Virginia and I just can't afford to make the trip out." It's the people in Buffalo who quit on our team that infuriate us.

Here in Ottawa, I was playing softball and wearing a Bills cap...well this guy was chirping with me all game and finally made some crack about the Bills being losers and the team moving and I jumped him as he was rounding second and proceeded to hit him until the teams broke us up.
I'm not even from Buffalo and I am very sensitive to people making light of a possible move. Seriously, I will fight over it.
