Flacco can't get it done with Ray Rice, Anquan Boldin, Torrey Smith and a good defense.
Highly overrated.
Can't get it done? Lets see here....5 years in the NFL, 5 years in the playoffs...in arguably one of the toughest divisions in football during that time...(sans Cleveland)..if not for a dropped pass in the AFC CHAMPIONSHIP game he is a Superbowl QB...keep or better yet start start drafting QBs with "upside and potential"...makes sense to me...
There was a brinks truck near me that flipped over throwing 10 million dollars of silver all over the highway...so no go for Flacco
You probably just kept going too....
-
Back up the BRINKS truck for FLACCO....nuff said
-
I say scrap all of these potential "franchise" QBs and back up the brinks truck for FLACCO...Just sayin...he has only taken his team to the playoffs EVERY year since he's been in the league....if not, see what it would take to get Rivers. He would be a monster behind our O-Line.
-
In a heartbeat....he is only 31 years old. The Browns drafted a "franchise" QB around the same age. Since I now live in SD I get to watch the away games, since a lot of the home games don't sell out and if Rivers had Buffalo's Offensive Line he would be a pro-bowl QB again. The WRs wouldn't have to stop, reach behind themselves or get laid out to catch a pass....unlike with Fitzgibbons
-
He has a job that he loves, it pays him well, and he is very good at it. He can see his family and probably has better blood pressure in the position he is at.
His bllod pressure may be down a bit but his waistline has increased substantially.....Blood pressure will be sure to follow...

More changes...
The Bills have signed CB Crezdon Butler and OT Thomas Welch to the 53-man roster.
So who got cut?
PTR
Who? Why not give Stanford Routt a shot? Crezdon Butler from the AZ practice squad?

Reality is that if we can snatch victory from the jaws of defeat from either the Texans or Patsies* our schedule for the rest of the season favors a strong finish. I agree with Buftex that if we beat one of those two teams 10-6 is not out of the question. Enough to get us into the playoffs, i'm not sure, but would make for an interesting december for a change!! GO BILLS!
-
I don't know what is more ugly those uniforms or that defense that the Bills are trying to show us.
Bills suck, Nix suck, fire Chan, bench Fitz...uniforms are turrible
-
I will eat my shoes if we beat Houston
Get ur FRANK's ready! Nothing like Buffalo Wing flavored shoe leather....GO BILLS!

"If you look good, you feel good. And if you feel good, you play good. If you play good, they pay good. And if they pay good, you eat good." Primetime
I guess just substitute "think" for "look"....we all know they don't look good...

I have no problem with a domed stadium, and would actually consider buying season tickets if we ever got one. I have several issues with this proposal...
1 - Location. OP is the perfect spot, and if they ever decide to build a new stadium, it should be built where one of the existing stadium lots are today.
2 - Convention Center. Forget about it. We barely have use for the one we have now, and Buffalo is not exactly the mecca of convention destinations. Can you imagine going to a convention, and finding out there is nothing else there but a barren waterfront?
3 - Retractable Roof. Waste of money. Either open air stadium or dome. Not both.
4 - Ownership - A new stadium proposal should not even be open for discussion, until new Bills ownership is in place. In the meantime, spend the 100+ million on fixing up RWS.
I have a rebuttal to your banter
1. OP is a terrible spot for the community/region. It's great for 8-13 days per...if the Bills ever go back to the playoffs. So for now we'll go with 10.
2. Convention Center - the reason Buffalo isn't a hot spot for conventions is because the current one is 476 years old and the surrounding infrastructure stinks. Pittsburgh has plenty of conventions, as does Cleveland and Idny..... Even in the winter...go figure.
3. Retractable Roof - Why limit yourself to one or the other? I was just in Az for the Bills/Cards game and going from 95 degrees to A/C was fantastic. If it was 80 they would have had the roof open. Not to mention how good it would feel going from -10 to 70. Be openminded with the flexibility of having a retractable roof.
4. Ownership - Do you want serious buyers with serious money and a commitment to Buffalo? If yes, build now so you have a selling point. If not, put lipstick on the pig...
Just my $.02...
The Bills have the lowest ticket prices in the NFL. Obviously a new stadium would increase those prices but they'd still need to work on a volume model, IMO.
I've never been there but I'm told Indy is a very nice city that has had competent people building the urban core for many years now.
Indy is the 12th largest city in the U.S. and is its downtown is considered one of the best among U.S. cities.
And all this without Buffalo's beautiful waterfront, Canadian tourism and Buffalo Wings!! Imagine the possibilities!! I would even consider moving back once they city got their S*^% together.

I had the honor of meeting Kent on a flight from Buffalo to Atlanta (on my way to San Diego). That was in about 2002-2003. I'll tell you what, these guys pour their heart and souls out for the teams they play for. He was in bad shape back then and could barely get his knees bent enough to get into his seat. Being uncomfortable never stopped him from chatting and telling a few "war stories". RIP big man.

Someone on twitter asked him about that the other day and his response was that he " is not a DE in this league"...from Merriman himself...

I actually find this move kind of refreshing in a sense. Not that Moorman got cut, becasue he has been a great pro, but if you don't perform, you get cut. Simple as that. I know we all have our sentimental players that we love, but when your skills diminish it's time to move on. That being said, I wish him the best of luck. Great guy from all accounts, now a average punter at best.

Hey guys, I was wondering if you could help an out-of-town (country) Bills fan. So I ordered a Spiller Reebok jersey and when I received it, it was inexplicably missing the numbers on the front. They are sending me another one but I get to keep this factory defect.
My question is, is there any place I can mail this jersey to that would be able to screenprint just the #28 on the front and then be able to mail it back to me? I searched all over Toronto and Ottawa and no luck here.
Thanks in advance!
I should add that the reason I want to get this done is that I'm going to Arizona to watch the Bills play and they said it'll be 4-6 weeks before I get my replacement jersey.
Don't know but I will see you in Arizona!!! Go Bills!

ZUBAZ....gotta love it!Bills zebra hat sighting! Awwww yeah!
-
How about a blitz every now and again? Ever think of that? It didn't look like we sent more then 4 guys the entire game.....an extra guy may have disrupted the timing that Snatchez had with the receivers. Not to mention a bump off the line as well...

Born at Mercy Hospital, grew up on Woodside. Growing up being told that if I "didn't shape up", I would be going to Father Bakers. Surviving the Blizzard of 77'. Bills and Sabres, through and through. Chestnut Ridge in the winter, Crystle Beach in the summer, (The Comet). Going to the "Ballet" in Fort Erie. Growing up on Hot Wings, before the rest of the world knew what they were. Nick's at 03:00 in the morning for a garbage plate. Chippewa street when it was hookers, not "HIP". Going to Talty's, Annies, Griffin's Irish Pub, The Irish Center, Caz Park, Doc Sullivans, going to the first ward, Big Tree Inn, webers mustard, going to "the falls", being in the middle of the desert and being on guard duty at 03;00 in the morning, listening to AFN radio when the kick was wide right,,,,,,,,, locking and loading and swearing to God that I was going to shoot the first tent that cheer'd (luckily nobody did), snow mobiles, ice fishing, camping, getting my first deer in Cory Pennsylvania", parties with family and friends, and on, and on, and on,,, BUFFALO, not just a place to live, but a place to LIVE.
Having left in 1996 for the Navy...I have to second your comments!! Couldn't have said it better myself...

Not sure who has ESPN insider on here, but when you click on each of our draft picks name you see something consistant....for INTANGIBLES -- the picks are graded either a 1 (Exceptional) or a 2 (Above Average). The majority of them all say smart, hard working and tough....turning out to be a really good draft with good, hard working kids! I'm excited for the future of BILLS football...GO BILLS!

me thinks:
Wimbley - DE
Scott - DE
Meachem or Royal - WR

Boy, how nice would this be? I'd take Williams and Winston in a heartbeat if these are the only moves the team makes!! This is per ESPN Insider....
There's some debate over who exactly is the top free agent target this offseason, but DE/OLB Mario Williams is certainly in the conversation. The former No. 1 overall pick has excelled in QB hunting in multiple defensive schemes, he just turned 27 years old in January, and there's a big gap between him and the rest of the available players at the position this offseason. Most teams would love to have him on their roster, but when financial considerations are taken into account, that limits the market substantially.
One team that has remained in the mix -- at least speculatively -- is the Buffalo Bills. The Bills have an excellent pair of interior D-linemen in Kyle Williams and Marcell Dareus, but lack an elite pass-rusher as they move back to a four-man front for 2012. So from a needs standpoint, it's a match, but will the Bills be ready to pay the hefty price?
During an appearance on WGR 550 on Tuesday morning, Bills GM Buddy Nix hinted that they might be ready to take the plunge. "We'd like to be out of the business by Friday. The big splash for us could be over in a week," Nix said, per BuffaloBills.com. He later reiterated that the team was going to be addressing the DE position this offseason, either through free agency or the draft. If that's the priority, then inking Williams would certainly be a logical move.
Furthermore, the Bills have the cap space to make an aggressive offer -- according to numbers published by NFL.com, they're $23 million under the cap -- and still have enough left over to target other top FAs at positions of need like Vincent Jackson and/or Eric Winston.
