  1. I would recommend that everyone read Gregg Easterbrook's new book; The Game's Not Over: In Defense of Football. He addresses many of the issues being talked about here. He writes this in the same style he used when he wrote TMQ for ESPN. He addresses the finances and the blackmailing of cities by franchises in order to get new stadiums built, as well as the concussion issue and many more. Enjoy.
  2. Buster Douglas, Holly Holm. You gotta Billieve!! Of course I will watch.
  3. Two come to mind for me. Both were against the Dolphins. 1980 at the stadium when the streak was broken and the fans tore down the goal posts. Other one has been mentioned as well, beating them when Ricky Williams ran wild. My son was probably 10 at the time and the whole stadium was singing "Let it Snow". By the time we got back to the car there must have been a foot of snow on the ground and everybody was helping push each others cars out.
  4. Actually he wasn't. He went to Seattle after here for nine seasons. Went to the AFC Championship one year and did win the West one year. Only coach to win Division Championship with three different teams.
  5. One thing to remember is Marv's comment about Special Teams being one-third of a team. We have improved there and we have a dominating defense. A couple of improvements on Offense and we should have a great team. Go Bills!!
  6. Am i and this poster the only ones old enough to remember Joe Pisarcik? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miracle_at_the_Meadowlands
  7. We will pick 32nd after winning the SB and draft a safety to replace Byrd. You gotta Billieve!
  8. I have been a fan of this team for 50 years and I still go into every game expecting to win. So I have to agree with The Senator. 19-0 Baby!
  9. One of my favorite memories is a local radio station flying a plane over the stadium with a sign reading "Cox, Don't spit, Swallow"
  10. "They took the sails out of our winds." 1986, Buffalo Bills head coach Hank Bullough after a tough loss.
  11. I was at that Giants game with a friend from Geneseo who was a huge Giants fan. Since there was almost nobody in the stadium we sat right behind the Giants bench in the third row. The G-mens third string scab quarterback was a guy whose last name was Bush or Busch. So late in the game and half in the bag, we started chanting "WE WANT BUSH, WE WANT BUSH". He actually turned and waved to us. Absolutely horrible game, but we had fun.
  12. My son, who is a member here, LeviF91, and I were discussing the Pro Bowl last week. His suggestion was to announce the Pro Bowl playerss as a Honor. Just like the Silver Slugger or Golden Glove winners in baseball. He said they should have a game after the Super Bowl which would be played by Free Agents. This would showcase available players for the teams and the fans. What do you think?
  13. Actually I don't think that those were Cox's thumbs that were up.
  14. I've been a fan since I was ten years old which was in 1963. I will always root for this team to win and I never give up in the 2nd quarter. The OP was reacting like a moron. By the way, I picked my "Greatest Comeback" sweatshirt to wear today, before the game started. It may have not matched the 1993 game, but it sure was sweet.
  15. I liked it last night on the radio broadcast, the call was "It's Spiller Time!"
  16. You do understand he is talking about Vincent Jackson,the reciever from San Diego, who is holding out, not Fred?
  17. I tend to read the articles and the board messages every day. As a life long Bills fan since the early 60's I appreciate the opportunity to read about the Bills while living a distance away from Buffalo these days. That said I am responding to the post because I feel the same way. I am very happy with what I have seen out of Chan so far. Go Bills!
  18. Good timing on this one. I heard him on the radio this afternoon. He expects to be ready by May to work out for teams. He didn't seem to have any expectations as to where he would end up. Seemed a little bitter with the Titans organization and how they handle veterans. Talked about Thomas Jones getting screwed over by the Jests.
  19. This columnist just throws in the Gailey hiring off the cuff like it has anything to do with the article he is writing about. Just a cheap shot at the Bills. Read down in the comments after the column and somebody is trashing AJ and his recent drafts, saying they should bring back Nix. I think we just have to let this play out and watch the coaching staff that gets hired.
  20. I'm hoping his throws look as good as the first pitch he threw last night at the Mets game. The catcher had to jump to his left to catch the ball.
  21. I didn't think that was exhaustion. I thought he was goofing because the Charger bumped him after he was already in the end zone and he dropped to the ground mocking the guy. The funniest part of that whole thing was as they went back to the bench Marshawn crouched behind Freddy, giving him kudos for paving the way.
