  1. On the NFL commercial with the film clips of old shows, how many of you noticed that Cosmo Kramer's coat had a Bills logo on the sleeve? If you missed it, check it out: http://boston.sbnation.com/2011/2/7/1979912/super-bowl-commercials-2011-youtube-best-fans-ever-nfl-ad
  2. Obviously Chan got Steve Johnson off the bench, but if Chan is a difference maker, why didn't he try to do the same for Hardy? It comes down to talent, Johnson was & always will be better than Hardy. After the team took Trent's security blanket, AKA Josh Reed, away, Chan had to either get Johnson or Hardy off the bench. Chan made better decisions on wide receiver use, but he didn't do anything other than let the guys play, Roscoe included before his injury. As far as Fitzpatrick, I've always thought he was the same player in 2009 as 2010. The stat boys may pull up some stats to debate it with me, but the bottom line is Fitzpatrick proved his value in 2009 when he was the main QB in 5 of the team's 6 wins. How soon people forget how well Fitzpatrick performed when Perry Fewell was coach. Remember how Fewell was bragging about the big ones Fitzpatrick had when he audibled into a long passing play in a Bills win. Remember how desperate Fewell was to get back Fitzpatrick for the Indy game, and how well he performed in the weather? I think a coach can bury a talented player on the bench, but even that can't ruin him. Talent will eventually surface, if not with one team, with another. The only reason Bills coaches yanked players like Losman & Edwards was because they weren't cutting it on the field. Losman's career wasn't ruined because Mularkey yanked him when he sucked. Losman's career was ruined because he wasn't good enough, ditto with Edwards. Shanahan is a great coach when he has John Elway at QB, other than that, he's average. I don't know if anyone can win in Washington with Danny boy there. He's gone through Marty, Spurrier, Gibbs, Zorn & now Shanahan. Like the Bills, who the coach is doesn't seem to matter. The Redskins don't know how to put a roster together and the only common denominator is the owner.
  3. All mock drafts suck. Any mock draft that doesn't include a QB by the 3rd round is worthless, because they don't understand the Bills needs. I'll be shocked if the Bills don't draft Christian Ponder.
  4. Coaches don't ruin players, players ruin coaches. The idea that this team has had incompetent coaches is nonsense. Now some of our coaching selections haven't been top notch, but none have been incompetent to the point of making or breaking a player's career. To think that JP Losman, who has been coached by Mularkey, Jauron, Fassel & Carroll and has only been successful against minor league competition would ever amount to anything with different coaching is insane.
  5. If he's alive & well, yes, but he knows he can't beat 44 straight. I once had a streak where I went to every Bills home game except preseason for 16 full seasons and parts of two others(front of streak middle of 1990 season, end of streak middle of 2007 season). I started a new one in December 2008 & I made every one the last 2 seasons. I'll never get up to 16 seasons again, but I've started a new streak.
  6. I think Gailey loves Ponder, has since high school, and if he can get Buddy to agree, Ponder will be our 2nd round pick. Chan talked up Ponder Senior Bowl week like he's already his coach.
  7. Don't be sorry, it wasn't your fault. It was the guy who published the article. There's nothing wrong with a spelling error on TSW, it's when the articles are written by guys who don't know how to spell people's names that is the problem.
  8. It really has to hurt because the Packers are in it. Any time a streak like that has to end, it's agony. When it's your own health that ends it, it's even worse.
  9. He's in the hospital, he had to give his tickets to his daughters: http://www.dallasnews.com/sports/super-bowl/local/20110204-illness-ends-wisconsin-mans-streak-with-never-miss-a-super-bowl-club.ece
  10. I knew this was going to happen one day! Sometimes Ralph Wilson passes us in the stadium on his way to his box. One time I begged Ralph to fill out the necessary paperwork. I even handed him the necessary papers and a pen to sign them. All he said is "I'm too old for this s***", threw the papers & pen on the ground and proceeded to his luxury box. That's why Jacksonville is in the Super Bowl and the Bills are home.
  11. You might have the wrong guy. The article refers to "Art Schlicter". The former QB, who spent the 1986 preseason with the Bills until the day Jim Kelly signed is Art Schlichter. So maybe Art Schlichter really is innocent.
  12. I agree with you, but let's not revise history. Eli Manning sat the 1st 9 games of his rookie year behind Kurt Warner. With the Giants 5-4, Coughlin made the switch to Manning. Carson Palmer sat out his entire rookie year. Jon Kitna played every down. Palmer wasn't even put in to mop up in the 4th quarter.
  13. You just don't know where to go. There are a number of port-a poties where at most you have a 1 or 2 person wait, if any. Now I'm not talking after noon, but before noon there are plenty. However, since I know where they are & I don't want anyone ruining it for me, I'm not telling
  14. The right system is Pee-wee football. If the parents are willing to let him play with/against their kids, he can dominate.
  15. Her parents should have scheduled a parent teacher conference with the teacher and asked "What did our daughter say that was so offensive to you, you f****** b****?
  16. A lot different than the Bills Super Bowl years. In Minnesota there was no need to park anywhere because the municipalities teamed with the motels and anyone staying in an area motel that wasn't within walking distance of the Metrodome had a free shuttle bus to the game. In Pasedena, the official Rose bowl general parking, at what I think was a golf course next to the Rose Bowl was $10, if I recall correctly. I'm not sure about Tampa & Atlanta because we had bus transportation as part of our Super Bowl packages, but Atlanta had a pretty good subway system. Isn't there any mass transit near the stadium or did JJ build it somewhere where a parking gouge would be guaranteed?
  17. He'll be wearing one having done less than Rob Johnson did the year Rob got his ring. I guess years from now he can wear the ring even though he never has and never will play in an NFL game. I hope he never gets so low that he walks around with the ring claiming to be Aaron Rodgers. Trivia question: What do you, me & Graham Harrell have in common: Answer: None of us has ever played in an NFL game.
  18. Lower pay, same results.
  19. Pretty stupid & not very funny. But if you laughed, maybe you're just stupid enough to enjoy it. Thanks for realizing I'm a genius.
  20. Why do people like you post outright lies & think you can get away with it? 1st of all, there was no strike in "'07", the 2007 team was 7-9 all by themselves. Giving you all benefit of the doubt, let's assume you typo'd and meant 1987, the year that there was a strike team. In 1987 the strike team went 1-2, the real team went 6-6 for a final record of 7-8. Where did you come up with 4-0 when only 3 games were played during the strike and the fake Bills lost 2 of them?
  21. Because in fantasy-land the Bills can trade anything to anybody and they'll just roll over & make the deal. I've got a better idea-Nix should get both movie versions of "The Producers", study them carefully and figure a way to trade our 1st round pick to all 31 other teams. Then we'll have the rest of the 1st round. Instead of Bialystock & Bloom, it will be Nix & Gailey.
  22. 17 years ago, on this date the Bills last Super Bowl was played. Around this time 17 years ago, I took the duct tape off the envelope that I had placed my Super Bowl ticket in and attached inside my shirt for safe keeping and took the ticket out. Petrino took the stitches out of his ticket that he had sewn to his shirt and now was ready to present at the Georgia Dome. We then waited for our bus to arrive at Knight's Inn in Marietta,Ga. and take us to Atlanta. I had 4 similar mornings in 4 cities between 1991 and 1994. In 1991 it was waiting for the bus at the Bill-Mar hotel in Treasure Island, Fla, 1992 at the Budgetel outside Minneapolis, and in 1993 it was leaving the Ramada Inn in Anaheim, Ca, driving to Pasedena at 7:30 AM and ended up being the 2nd car to get into the general parking area next to the Rose Bowl. There may never be another morning like that again.
  23. They might, but Marvin Lewis throwing the kids on the O-line under the bus saying they're not doing what the coaches told them to do is classless. Marvin is looking for excuses instead of accepting the fact that Chan is schooling him.
  24. I saw something about a refund policy if games are cancelled, but I didn't open it. It would be great news if they started the season on time but had to cancel 1 or both of the exhibition games and we got our money back for worthless tickets.
