  1. The house next to my sisters went up in flames last week...on Elmwood. It was all over the news...though her place suffered no fire damage, it was severely damaged by fire hoses... turns out water may be almost as bad for your house as fire! She sent me a picture over the weekend of her dining room ceiling that just collapsed over night....the BN reported (the morning after the fire) that her house suffered $2500 in damages...not even close!

     

    I live on the corner of Elmwood and West Ferry St. Was stuck in my car on the way home from work about 30 yards from the fire. Worst fire I have ever seen. It's amazing that there wasn't even more destruction. It was one of the most surreal things I've experienced to have the heart of Elmwood Village be filled with thick black smoke in broad daylight. Sorry to hear that your sister was lived next door.

    The NFC West is really, really good. The AFC South is just as bad.

     

    Like the last couple years, after Denver and New England, the AFC is WIDE open.

  3. Not very convincing. Bandit is dismissing his first year and half and cherry picking a small sample size. His entire body of work so far in the NFL is not even close to being at an elite level.

     

    Don't forget we are under a new scheme this year that will not be beneficial to his agressive style. A lot of the sucess with the secondary last year was because of the great pressure with the scheme from Pettine.

     

    Pettine was comfortable sending so much pressure constantly because he felt good about both Gilmore and McKelvin holding up in man coverage. Especially during the second half of the season when Gilmore was healthy. He was man-on-man with the other team's #1 every single down. Pettine got a head coaching job out of it.

  4. LOL @ the thread title.

     

    When teams see Gilmore in man to man they attack him.

     

    That was the plan with Gilmore when matched up to Stephen Hill in his opening game and teams have continued to pick on this guy throughout his career because he is easily exposed.

     

    The Bandit already undressed it, but wow, what a terrible take.

  5. I recall in the Cincy game, they specifically targeted Gilmore on screen passes to AJ Green knowing full well that while he could cover deep OK with the club, he couldn't tackle. It was a great move by Cincy, and Pettine had to adjust but by the time he did the Bills were behind despite having very good offensive success on them. Another game we gave away.

     

    Yep. It was painful to watch. And good strategy by Cincy. Tough to tackle AJ Green under normal circumstances, let alone while wearing that thing.

  6. Nice find, Yolo. I've been singing Gilmore's praises since the day he was drafted, and I think he would've made that leap last year had it not been for the injury. Even when he was able to get back into the lineup, the club that he was forced to wear really limited what he was able to do. Let's face it, a big corners like Gilmore thrive when being able to get their hands on a WR right off the snap, and using a good jam to throw them off their intended route. This ability was completely negated when he first came back, and his tackling suffered as well. I full expect Gilmore to be one of a handful of true lock down corners in this league this season.

  7. Sports Illustrated's SI Vault Twitter handle - @si_vault - has been tweeting out some awesome, and many rare, Bills pictures all day long. Also some good Sabres and even Buffalo Braves ones on there. Check out @si_vault for a few minutes if you're on Twitter. It's definitely worth it!

     

    Here's an example:

  8. I can't believe you wrote "I'm as big a Tom Brady fan as there is." You should be banned from these boards.

     

    I appreciate greatness. You should too. That being said, the Pats suck.

  9. I'm a sports bettor, and I like to browse around a sports betting forum called SBR once in a while. Just a few days ago I posted about this Bills Super Bowl bet being a great value and, predictably so, received some backlash on my prediction. Since we're on the topic, I thought I'd share the link so that you guys could see what I had to say and what the haters responded with...

  10. I remember watching this game live and knowing right then and there that he was the one guy I wanted us to get in the draft because he did absolutely everything in that game. He caught the ball with his hands constantly. He ran past guys. He ran through guys. He showed elusiveness. He high-pointed the ball beautifully on that touchdown in the corner of the end zone. He played with a physicallity and nastiness that was unmatched on that field. He seeked out contact. He displayed every attribute you could possibly in a wide receiver in that ballgame.
