  1. Let's trade for him and Plaxico ... sign Harrison ... they'll go with Lynch and Hardy ... our offense will be unstoppable because opposing defenses will be afraid of getting a cap busted on 'em!!! Brillllllllliant!!!!
  2. No way the Bills are paying top dollar for 2 WRs ... there's nothing to see here folks ... just move along ... move along ...
  3. Training camp fodder ... if he is an improvement over the recently resigned Justion Jenkins, then so be it ... I'm sure Jenkins didn't get a huge signing bonus ... and given the state of our receiving corps, I'm not against giving anyone a look ... it doesn't mean they are automatically on the final 53 man roster.
  4. The author of the article should wait for the facts to come out before he tries to exonerate Lynch. So we need to wait until Lynch guns someone down before we put down the pom poms and hold him accountable? In his 2 years here, he has consistently shown poor judgement, and it is not railroading him to hold him accountable for his actions, especially when the team is counting on him.
  5. Bruce ... no wait ... Reuben Brown {snicker}
  6. Law of averages ... they were due to screw up and bring in someone competent. Don't worry, it won't happen again.
  7. Have you seen our receivers?!? Harrison, though a stop gap, would be an improvement until we can hopefully develope someone else in the next year or 2.
  8. Kelly: "I have some great news Bills fans" Reporter: "Has Mr. Wilson decided to sell you the team?!?!?" Kelly: "No, I just saved a whole lot of money by switching to Geico"
  9. Gale Gilbert was AWESOME ... The greatest Bills QB to never start a game. Gibran Hamdan's chroise pales in comparison the Gale Gilbert's chroise ... in fact, Gale Gilbert was the embodiment of chroise ... chroise made flesh!
  10. Most of which were during the glory years of Kelly, Marv et al ... except for those glory years and the AFL years, this has been a consistently mediocre franchise with occasional forays into above average and bad. In this day and age of parity, you can get better in one season ... we haven't gotten better in 9 years ...
  11. The point is not that we have the same won-lost record as the Lions, but that we're entering that same level of chronic ineptitude as the Lions. Let's face facts ... this francshise was dominant in the AFL. Once we got to the NFL, we have consistently been bad to mediocre. Yes, we had the run from the late 80s to late 90s, but that was the exception. We lucked into 2 great GMs (Polian and Butler) and found a diamond in the rough in a cheap hire (Levy). These guys assembled the core of a great team. Before the glory years and since, we have been mediocre. Now we have an owner who refuses to change, a GM who is not a football guy, a revolving door of cheap hires and retreads at head coach. Jauron isn't good enough, but we're going to be sold this line of crap about "continuity". In this day and age of leaguewide parity, teams can rebound in a single season ... case in point Atlanta, Arizona, Miami ... while we're being sold "hope" ... hope that Trent grows and gets more consistent ... hope that the players great love for Jauron translates into wins ... hope that Fine and Shouman become vialble downfield receiving threats ... hope that Hardy becomes a starting NFL WR ... year in and year in, we are sold hope without any substantial changes to actually back it up. Will the Bills be agressive this year in free agency and bring in players to get this team better ... we can only hope, right?!?
  12. Awesome! I've heard of him! ... well one of them ... Sams is a good special teamer isn't he?
  13. Awesome! I've heard of him! ... well one of them ...
  14. Well said ... despite an identical w-l record from the year before, I think that we took a step backwards. In 07, we were younger, less talented and decimated by injuries. Given the schedule and fewer injuries in 08, 7-9 represents a step backwards, and we're committed to staying the course ... of mediocrity.
  15. I find your grammar/typing skills to be exemplary.
  16. I second that
  17. I stand corrected ... we're only in the Lions territory [Link] ... Keeping drinking the Grape Kool-Aid boys!

  18. Add my son's house squirt hockey team to that exclusive list.
  19. It's Official ... Now that the Cardinals are in the Superbowl ... The Bills have taken their place in the pantheon of inept franchises. We're now in the proud company of the Bungles and the Lions ... :thumbsup:
  20. Any chance that they can relocate to the middle of the Atlantic Ocean?
  21. Yes, traffic would be fugly ... better yet would be Williams Road in Wheatfield where the OZ park was dreamed up to be ... better access to surface roads. Canadian traffic could cross at Rainbow or Queenston. There would still need to be some new roadwork, but not nearly as much as downtown Nia Falls. Again moot point ... it's not going to happen.
  22. That's a fictional novel isn't it? If it's the one I'm thinking of, I've heard great things about it.
  23. English Pub ... The Buttery? They do a Henry the 8th themed dinner show that is a blast. Next time you're there ... look for Piccards Nut Shop ... it's a little outside of the village, but it's awesome! The U.S. side was always strong in industry thanks to the cheap hydro power ... especially in aluminum and chemical manufacturing which are very energy intensive. Tourism was always a few extra bucks in the summer, but the city never had to rely on it. Also, there was a very strong mafia presence, but everyone had good jobs, so evertone was happy. After the Schoellkopf power station (which provided the cheap power) collapsed, the new Robert Moses station was built and the local power rates went up and negated the cheap power advantage. In the 70s, there were widespread shifts in manufacturing from northen towns to the south and Niagara Falls was hit hard. Now, instead of developing our tourism, everyone is fighting to hold on to whatever piece of the pie that they can and squash any attempts to redevelop. Business climate is now so tainted and difficult that few even try any more. It's a shame, the city gets 10 to 12 million tourists a year on name recognition alone. Making money here should be sooo easy ... but it's not. Sad ... sad.
  24. Florida was able to turn a swamp into a world class tourist attraction ... Niagara Falls turned a world class tourist attraction into a slum.
