  1. We would have been higher but someone must have come by here and seen all of the "fans" giving up because our LB has a hurt knee. I usually think we have one of the best fan bases in football but when I see bandwagon jumpers saying the team might as well give up and move out of Buffalo because one guy won't show up and another is out for the season, it doesn't seem that way.

     

    I agree. You have your bandwagon fans, and the one's that believe we're still a mediocre football team and will still be a below .500 team. We're gonna do great this year, and I still feel we'll be a 10-6 to 11-5 team.

  2. ESPN's Matt Mosley and their army of NFL bloggers ranked NFL fans. Buffalo came in at 11.

     

    1. Steelers

    2. Packers

    3. Browns

    4. Eagles

    5. Chiefs

    6. Skins

    7. Broncos

    8. Pats

    9. Raiders

    10. Giants

    11. Bills

     

    Note, however, the Bills received a "score" of 16, as did the three teams in front of them. So essentially a tie for 8th, but separated by some random ESPN "tiebreaker."

     

    My only gripe? ESPN had a "Loyal" category defined as: Loyalty when team sucks (Loyal): You score points with us if you stick with a loser.

     

    Buffalo scored a "3" on a scale of 1 (best) to 5 (worst). Considering seasons ticket sales in recent years, I'd score us at LEAST a 2 if not a 1... which could have moved us up to 6th.

    We should be at least 4th on the list.

  3. Crowell's career is done in Buffalo. The Bills made that very clear by placing him on the ir rather than let him rehab and come back in 4 or 5 weeks. Now we know where the Bills will look in the 1st round next year and see who they will team with Poz and Mitchel for 09.

     

    Crowell cant be that dumb or can he? Why do you wait until a few days before the season to anounce that you are having surgery? He let down his teammates. I like how the Bills acted quickly and Im sure Crowell never would have thought things would have played out like this. This along with how the Bills are handling the Peters situation sends a very loud message that they are in charge- not the players.

     

    I agree 100% Peters is just as dumb!

  4. I think the Bills are seriously P.O.'d at Crowell for waiting this long to have surgery, especially 3 days before the season opener. Crowell missed the 1st pre-season game because of his knee, and I'm sure the Bills feel if he needed surgery, he should have done it when he knew he wasn't going to make the 1st pre-season game.

     

    I was extremely optimistic going into the season, this puts a big damper on my optimism. :thumbsup:

  5. I haven't seen anyone say we can't beat the Seahawks. I think the Seahawks will be a good test for our improved Defense and Offense. It will give an indication as to where we will stand for the rest of the season.

     

    On realfootball365.com, there's a comment section after the article. There are a few there that think we will lose, and we'll finish 7-9 - 8-8.

     

    I think we'll win 31-13, and we'll destroy the NFC West again like we did 4 years ago.

  6. I'm out now. Got out in 2001. Was stationed at MCB Hawaii, Kaneohe Bay.

     

    That's cool, what was your MOS?

     

    I was in from 96'-00', and got recalled from 02'-05'. I was orginally a 5811 (M.P.), first stationed in Okinawa, then twice at Quantico, VA. I went back to regular active duty in 05', and had to do a LAT move to 7212 (L.A.A.D. Gunner), and was stationed at Cherry Point, NC (hated my unit and Cherry Point). I got medically separated last June from multiple foot & ankle injuries. Now, I'm a civilian contractor working for the Marines, so I can't get away from them, lol.

  7. I'm pumped for the season opener. I'll be at home, watching the game in my living room on the NFL Sunday ticket. I hope it's not a rain out, with the early predictions of Hurricane Hanna (or what's left of the Hurricane) hitting the NY area on Sunday.

     

    Game 2, I'll be flying out to Yuma, AZ that day. Hopefully, I can find a sports bar in the area, and catch the 2nd half of the game.

  8. By the way....I haven't looked back at my posts but I hope that one of those posters for Kelly was not me......

     

    I think I was big on Devin Thomas.......I know that corner was not on my list

     

    I with you on Devin Thomas. Before the draft, I was hoping we'd draft him because of his size and that he played in Michigan (a cold weather school). I'm glad we drafted Hardy. I lost interested in Malcolm Kelly after his 40-times, and him throwing a fit about the venue being changed.
