  1. The Bills have improved and have a good nucleus to buid on; they are not yet a playoff contender.

     

    - The Defense is still poor and a major disappointment; they cannot stop the run nor get pressure on the opposing QB

     

    - Fitz is a great stop gap solution but not the franchise QB needed to go all the way.

     

    - Fred Jacklson is the Buffalo Bill of the decade and current heart and soul of the team, howver, he is thirty plus years.

     

    - CJ Spiller has yet to prove he is worthy of being a first round pick.

     

    - Still need a deep threat.

     

    I we finish above .500 or sneak into the playoffs it will considered success - absolutely - but I see the same results as the Jets game.

  2. Just an FYI for all of us BILLS fans in the AOR.

     

    AFN's Game of the week is PATRIOTS vs. BILLS (at least we will get to see ONE (1) live game this season)

     

    Game time is:

    - 2000 in Iraq

    - 2130 in Afghanistan

     

    Go BILLS!!!!….

     

    just returned from a year long deployment to Iraq, know the feeling of getting to see the Bills live on AFN. For all of you deployed I hjope you see a great game with a Bills victory. Nothing better for morale. God Bless and stay safe.

  3. I've been a bills fan a longtime since mid to late 70's.Lived thru the

    Super Years( we could win every game but one).

    We became a halfassed organization when Ralph fired John Butler.of

    course they(including buddy)went to SD, became buffalo west and you

    know what happened.

     

    We, on the other hand, hired the arrogant idiot Donahue, and equally arrogant ass

    greggo"I dont like fat guys"Wiliams, watched a proud organization get run into the ground.

    brought Marv back for stability because we became a laughingstock.watched him and realized

    he was a good coach, but not a Gm.suffered thru the Jauron/tampa 3 crap."Its tough to win

    in this league"geez what an idiot.

     

    Now we are back to what we never should have let go.Buddy and Chan are Football men building

    a football team, with excellent coaches and a frim belief of their philosophy.Teams used to

    be scared to play in Buffalo,they will again.

     

    Keep up the good work!No more undersized players.Thank God..!

     

    I think we are watching a disaster in the making - remember 1985!

  4. Great story on the TBD front page about JD Hill. He's from the same part of Stockton that I grew up in and about 12 years older. Early in his NFL career he would visit friends across from a park where alot of us would play pick-up games in the afternoon. We all knew who he was and we'd yell and wave and he'd come over and throw the ball around and talk to us. He was a real cool dude. It's great to see how he's turned his life around. He's always had a good heart.

    JD Hill played hard nose football with a lot of character. I too am happy he is turning his life around.

  5. The one place he should be in is on the stadium wall. Some people claim that the owner has a grudge against him. I'm not sure that is the case. Cookie Gilchrist and Lou Saban both should be honored by being inducted onto the stadium wall. Both Cookie and Lou were not easy personalities to deal with. But there is no doubt that both are sizeable contributors to the history of the Bills. It is time to do the right thing and honor the both of them. From what I understand Saban has a daughter who lives in the Buffalo area and Cookie is not in good health.

     

    Totally agree with all, it is a shame Lou Saban is not on the wall in Buffalo. Cookie I understand wants to get paid for being on the wall. Great point about Cookie in the Hall of Fame, think he is more deserving than Floyd Little.

  6. I won't say HATE, but there seems to be a general dislike or disinterest towards the Bills nationally. I mean when they are rumored to re-locate, no one seems to care other than locals like us or ex-pats. No one really has any sympathy towards the fans of Buffalo and their dedication even after those 4 SB losses. Is it maybe because Bills fans are viewed as cocky, drunk and obnoxious? Ralph is a meddling, cheap old geezer? i don't know.

     

    I travel quite a bit and have to say that the Buffalo Teams of the 90s led by Jim Kelly and the "no huddle" had many fans. Just spent time in a Tampa watering hole and relived a few Bills memories from those days. I think if the Bills ever put a competitive product on the field and get back to the playoffs the support is there to stay in Buffalo. I'm just sold on the off season restructuring of the front office, things could get ugly in 2010.

  7. This is a spinoff from the "mobile, agile, and hostile" thread.

     

    Who are the SOFTEST or LEAST AGILE Buffalo Bills you can think of?

     

    My list:

     

    Mike Williams - a big teddy bear. No mean streak whatsoever. Always overweight and slow.

     

    Lonnie Johnson - his name is Lonnie. 'nuff said.

     

    Erik Flowers - perhaps the most timid defensive lineman I've ever seen in a Bills uniform.

     

    Eddie Robinson - got deked for a touchdown by Chad Pennington. 'nuff said.

     

    Please add to the list.

    How about Walt Patulski, the 1972 first round pick; happy go lucky guy who never made it in the NFL.
