  1. You make a great point. Many QBs have to play in tough cold wintery weather either at home or on the road. Plenty of those QBs are from warm weather states and likely never saw snow until college or the pros. Both Mannings (Giants stadium is probably the toughest "wind" stadium in the league), Favre--these guys play well in all weather.

     

    Maybe Jimbo forgot that he played football in MIAMI (and that he didin't play high school games in the winter in PA), but the reality is that there is no such thing as a "cold weather QB" by state of birth. To argue otherwise is silly. A good or great QB from California, Florida, Louisiana---they will play just fine in Buffalo.

     

    Sorry boss but the Meadowlands is not windier than RWS. Not saying it doesn't blow there, but it's not windier than RWS.

     

    Bills vs. Pats in RWS

  2. Tom Janik's interception return against the Jets in that five-interception game was a great moment. To this day, Joe Namath will tell you that may have been the worst game of his career. And it's a good thing it was. If it weren't for those interceptions, every story about Detroit's winless season would have mentioned the 68 Bills.

  3. I actually don't mind that the Jets game is the one in Toronto this year, but I do mind that it's a night game. Yes, the Jets are a divisional opponent, but the rivalry doesn't have the history or passion of the Dolphins or Patriots. Frankly, I'm glad the Colts game is here, outdoors, in the elements instead of having Peyton passing against us in the dome.

    BUT I hate that our "home" night game is in Toronto. The atmosphere at the Ralph at night games is electric, and Bills fans put on a great show for a national audience even if our team lets us down. So I'm disappointed about that.

  4. I'm not old enough to remember Lou Saban during his first go-around coaching the Bills, but I do remember his return.

    Not only did he turn the team around, he saved OJ's career. Does anyone else remember "OJ left, OJ right, OJ up the middle"?

    Ralph, put him on the wall! And announce it during your hall of fame induction speech.
