  1. My father in law is a really great guy who has a lot of really great sayings. I'd like to think that they are all his, but I'm sure he collected many of them throughout his life.

     

    One of my favorites is: "all statements are read at their highest threat level."

     

    I try to keep that in mind when I'm posting here, or writing emails, etc.

    I ran that phrase through Google...looks like dad-in-law owns it. Nice!

  2.  

    Okay, but then lets be clear. We're complaining because this team never goes 5-for-5 in critical five game series. Which is true for 95% of the teams in the league.

     

    This is a solid club that was pounded by injuries, committed too many penalties, and could never get its defense going. This isn't a hopeless Trent Edwards or JP Losman rebuilding project. I understand that everyone is upset, but people are acting like the cupboard is bare when it is very clearly not.

    The player cupboard might not be bare but the coaching one is looking sparse.

  3. Nothing for nothing but how much did Dez Bryant play in those 2 games with Cassel?

     

     

     

    Even this is a completely FALSE STATEMENT, and I am seriously sick of seeing it repeated, presumably in ignorance. Please look at the stats and reconsider.

     

    Matt Cassel two games, QBR 62.3, 61.6, 2 losses (NYG 4-4, SEA 4-4), 324 yards, 1 TD, 3 INT

    EJ Manuel, two games, QBR 81.7, 75.3, 2 losses (CIN 7-0, JAX 2-5), 561 yards, 3 TD, 3 INT

     

    Cassel has brought almost no value whatsoever to his team.

    Manuel has played mediocre football behind a poor and injured OL and missing the team's top two WR.

     

    BUT Manuel has been CLEARLY BETTER than Cassel.

  4. Everything is personal to somebody. Most people just keep it to themselves when another person crosses their line. In terms of the Bills, fans aren't shy about letting it be known our line has been crossed. No, Bon Jovi isn't the devil. Mr. Bon Jovi very well might be a nice guy. Yet, he has aligned himself with men who wanted to hi-jack the team out of WNY; an institution that was born and bred in Buffalo, NY, and supported by the WNY region for over 50 years. That is very personal as you are seeing. Some of the venom is over the top, true enough. But what you suggest is just business for TO group is personal to many others.

     

    So, to Bon Jovi, Tannenbaum and Rogers I would say it's not business on my end, it's just personal. They aren't akin to terrorists or dictators as one t-shirt I saw ridiculously put Bon-Jovi in the company of. However, they have proven to be disingenuous, sneaky and disrespectful to Bills fans everywhere, including our brethren from Ontario who enjoy the Bills in WNY, the good and valuable citizens of WNY, and the legacy of AFL-NFL stalwart, Mr. Ralph C. Wilson, Jr.

     

    The Bills were founded when my father was 9 years old. He's a 62 year old man now. And over that time our team had one owner, who in spite of our feelings about the product at times, remained fiercely loyal to the area when he could have moved the team out of town many times. That means something. Business doesn't have to come at the expense of tradition, relationships or character. When Pegula is named owner he will want to make money too. But unlike the TO group it won't strictly be about cash and carry.

     

    Go Bills.

     

     

    Outstanding post! There is no need to be apologetic about our collective hatred for a man/group of men that is actively trying to remove a part of our lives. That’s about as personal as it gets for many of us. Will we bear a grudge forever? Probably not. Is the JBJ hatred earned at this moment? Absolutely.

  5. I live in Baltimore city, and there are plenty of areas that are fine places to live. The bad areas are no worse than similar areas in DC, Buffalo, Rochester, or any number of large American cities.

     

    Gotta disagree with ya on this one. Been a Baltimore City police officer for 23 years after growing up in the Town(Tonawanda). No worse place to visit or raise a family then right here. Annually one of the top 3 most deadly cities in the country. Not to mention the home of Ray Lewis & Willis. How much worse could it get?
