http://www.buffalonews.com/sports/bills-nfl/article693970.ece Just give it to a Toronto station, the Bills will be there soon enough.

Ah to be young and dream big. Unfortunately Nix is old and values every draft pick more than gold. No way he even gives up one nuget to move up in the first round. Point 2. Forget QB. If it isn't LT the pick will be defense. LB, DE DT CB...oh did I say LB

WTF did I just hear on Sunday Football
LancasterSteve replied to Lv-Bills's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Yep...thought WTF -
Well Littmann (treasurer) & Overdorf a longtime Wilson friend have been calling the financial shots more and more ever since Wilson fired Tom Donahoe. Brandon answers to them but has no real say in who gets paid what anymore from what I understand. That decision comes from Detroit. The last time to my knowledge that Russ Brandon was directly involved in any contract negotiations was the Jason Peters fisco when he told us that Peter's agent would not return any of his calls. Don't look for any big FA signings either as spending will continue at the absolute minimum until the new collective labor agreement dictates otherwise that all teams spend to the cap. Buddy Nix's hands are tied but he'll never tell you that.

The Official Bills vs Pats* Game thread

It did mine. We'll see in the off-season if Nix & Chan have any gonads to rid this team of this "me first" a-hole. The Bills are doing just fine without him. -
A Few (Very Abbreviated) Thoughts About The Game
LancasterSteve replied to Bill from NYC's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Thanks Bill I enjoy your reading your thoughts after each game. I still don't like the Spiller pick, but it is what it is. Like I told you at the time, Spiller was by far rated higher then the next rated player. Buddy Nix has been playing his cards closer to the vest since then. It was a not so secret, secret that they were very high on Spiller. Dareus is a good one...solid pick who with any consistent help next to him would silence most naysayers thus far. On a bad line Bell was the least of our problems, at least this game. Maybe the Bills are just showcasing Bell, hoping he can be delt at draft time with good outings now. Just speculation. He's missed most of the season so we'll watch to see how he finishes out the season I really really hope that what Gailey spouted about Fitz is just BS. Fitz can be cut after next season with a minimal cap consequence. I wonder if Buddy Nix will be given the green light to draft a QB in the 1st round by Wilson's bean counters if they see the mass exodus of club seat owners not renewing (95% due for renewal)or seeing the floor drop out on season ticket sales. We need 2 outside backers and one inside. Barnett was the best out of this motley crew. IMO this arguably George Wilson's worst game this season from my vantage point at the stadium. Lucky You on going to see the Grateful Dead. Enjoy, you deserve it. You are one of the good guys here and am lucky to count you as a friend. The bond of eternal optimism we all share. Next year will be better. We look for that glimmer of Hope to hang our hat on. Been doing that for 49 years of going to games so like You I part with GO BILLS !!! -
was Ralph at the game today?
LancasterSteve replied to TheFunPolice's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
...............and probably not far from the truth either. Most of the "old guard" was canned by Tom Donahoe. Maybe they cut corners in the ticket office and fire the 4 Canadians in charge. Everyone I knew there was canned when this Toronto BS started. As far as RW, I don't think we'll see him at RWS again this season. I saw him one time and that was it, though I didn't have a chance to talk with him like in years past. -
LOL that started last game. Looked like a pre-seson game and expect the last two home games to be worse. Maybe if season tickets next year go below 20 grand maybe Wilson's bean counters will allow Buddy Nix to bring in some talent.

The best part about how the season has been going
LancasterSteve replied to Just Jack's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Doesn't matter no way is Budy Nix allowed to draft a QB by Wilson's henchmen -
Gailey won't be fired. Same goes for Edwards. They both come cheap and doubt Ralph's bean counters who really run the money show, would be willing to pay any other coaches what it would cost to lure them here. Heck up until the last game RWS has been selling out so what insentive is there to spend on a better front office and coaches ? Those old enough to remember that the other newspaper we had here in Buffalo-The Couier Express-was the only one that often ripped into RW fow being cheap. Crickets from this rag of a newspaper now.Big money calls the shots and no way will they step on Wilson's toes so don't ever expect the truth about this organization. But, but Jerry Sullivan rips into the Bills you might say. True but his is an opinion column and even his triades are puff balls compared to what was written by columnists, especially in the late 60's when Ralph Wilson was threatening to move the Bills if he didn't get a new stadium. Those days of hard-nosed, truth seeking journalism are long gone. Big money now rules the not-so-free press.

Official Bills vs Chargers game thread
LancasterSteve replied to Just Jack's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Now that's a Deep Sleep !! Buddy Nix is 72 so I don't expect him to be awake at midnight when FA starts. He needs his sleep to be able to remember what to do the next day and even so it is only a 50-50 chance he'll remember. Don't think so..get old you'll find out, that is if you remember ! -
Official Bills vs Chargers game thread
LancasterSteve replied to Just Jack's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
LOL, I have been having nightmares that the headlines on the front page of the Buffalo News reads "Bye-Bye Bills". A new owner cleans out ALL the "OLD" deadwood and overnight the former BB's become a playoff team. Ralph in his 90's, his bean counters are up there as is Nix at 71. This is an organization run by old guys. Forget Brandon, he's window dressing, no imput on players at all. It almost seems like this organization has run out of energy in aquiring talent needed to field a winner. -

Bills lost the coin flip and SD elected to recieve so Bills will get the ball at the start of the second half. -
Game blacked out in SD
LancasterSteve replied to \GoBillsInDallas/'s topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
When I was stationed in San Diego in '71 I had a chance to see the Bills play at- I think it was Jack Murphy stadium in Mission Valley with a few other sailors from WNY. It was only about half full with a good number of empty seats below, so I explained to an usher that the 4 of us were from Buffalo (well area anyway)and would it be possible to move down closer to the field and Bills bench. He said he would check and get back to us. Toward the end of the first half he comes over and asks if we still want to move down as he can get us seats 15 rows from the field. Talk about happy after you have been going 12 hours a day for six days a week for 12 weeks with eight more to go at NTC, this one day was like a vacation for us. And altough the Bills lost 20- 3 and we were disappointed with the score, the high of happieness from just seeing our beloved Buffalo Bills play some 3,000 miles from home is a memory that alays brings a smile to my face. -
Ditto and times running out....sigh first game in'62 seems like yesterday

The Official Bills at Jets Game Thread

back on the field now -
So true. I enjoy watching the super stars that come to Buffalo to play against either the Bills or Sabres. IM glad that Crosby was able to play hockey again. Hope he has no more concussions as the sport of hockey just went up a notch with Croby's return.
