  1. I can't believe people are actually hoping to finish dead last in the league to get Andrew Luck. How can we consider ourselves to be great fans if 25% of us are hoping we suck!?! Is this an indication of how miserable people from WNY are on a regular basis? I live in South Central PA, surrounded by Eagles, Skins, Ravens, and Steeler fans and none of them talk this negatively (or hope for the worst) about their team. No wonder we are a laughing stock!

     

    I understand not everyone feels this way, but it makes me sick to read some of these posts.

  2. Gov is ready to shutdown in MN

     

    A NFL team seems like the last thing the state needs to support compared to the problems they have. $350 Million or whatever the Vikings want is not going to be easy to come by from the state, so I would plan on them being the most likely to move to LA, IMO.

     

    Ramsey County officials announced today they have reached an agreement with the Minnesota Vikings to be the team’s local partner in the effort to secure a new stadium in Minnesota. The site of the publicly-owned stadium – a new retractable-roof, multi-purpose facility – will be the former Twin Cities Army Ammunitions Plant (TCAAP) property in Arden Hills. The agreement reached by the team and the County calls for an $884 million stadium and an additional $173 million for on-site infrastructure, parking and environmental costs, bringing the total project costs to $1.057 billion. The Vikings will commit $407 million to the project - 44% of the stadium costs and 39% of the overall costs. The team and the County are currently working with State legislative leaders and the Minnesota Department of Transportation on identifying costs and funding options for off-site road improvements, estimated to be $7 million per year.

  3. I'd like to see what he can do behind a line that can run block (so teams can't just tee off on him), while playing with the lead (so teams can't just tee off on him), and with a full off-season of work and a full training camp (as the starter getting full reps).

  4. Once you guys figure out that we can, indeed, win with Fitz, you'll see that it is clear that we need to get stronger on the OL and LB's (DT taken care of). I would personally like to see our offense play ball without having to worry about the defense giving up 400 yards per game each week, and actually be able to run the ball with a lead!

     

    Focus on the lines first, then defense the rest of the way!

     

    Go get a veteran FA in Free Agency to back up Fitz in case he goes down with an injury.

  5. While I agree with many of you on how embarrasingly bad this video/song is... I have to say that any type of swagger that these Bills can get would be a welcome surprise. I'll take 1 Stevie Johnsons over 10 TO's. Stevie has heart, a good sense of humor, and dude can play!

     

    As long as he stays clean, plays with heart, and doesn't disgrace himself or this city... I am all for him having some fun in the off-season like this!
