I hate the Bills ! Posted November 11, 2011 Share Posted November 11, 2011 I think we all remember where we were on certain days and nights when the Bills played. For example we all know where we were when the Bills played the Comeback Game against Houston. How about the 2007 Monday Night Game against Dallas when we lost despite 6 Cowboy turnovers. I looked at the 53 man Rooster from The Bills for that season, there are 9 players still with the Bills who played in that game, the other 44 players have been released or left. That means in the 4 years since we last played the Cowgirls we have turned over 83 % of our Rooster. Now that has to be some kind of NFL record or close to it anyway. The remaining team members are Roscoe Parrish , Fred Jackson, Kyle Williams, Ryan Lindell, Brian Moorman, Terrance McGee, Bryan Scott, Chris Kelsey and George Wilson. Of those guys Fred Jackson and George Wilson are playing great ball. Kyle is on IR this year but is a main cog of the Bills Defense Roscoe on IR again(what a shock huh)and has played his last game in a Bills uniform in my opinion. Ryan Lindell is still kicking the ball well but got hurt last week trying to make a tackle and is out for 4-6 weeks. Brian Moorman still punts pretty well also, but his career in Buffalo could end in another year or 2. Bryan Scott is also a valued member of the team still and make a fair number of plays. Kelsey had the game of his life against Dallas, with a pass deflection, int and TD all on the same play, but he is more of a role player now. McGee had a kick return for a TD in the game against Dallas but clearly his best days are behind him. The New Look Bills are 5-3 and hopefully they can beat Dallas come Sunday.

San Jose Bills Fan Posted November 11, 2011 Share Posted November 11, 2011 Nice post… good research. Kelsay is out for this game unfortunately. This defense would be a lot better if Kelsay, Kyle Williams, and Merriman had managed to stay healthy this year. Oh well. Hopefully the Cowboys play like a bunch of hens.

st. pete gogolak Posted November 11, 2011 Share Posted November 11, 2011 Don't have any statistics to back it up but my guess is that 83% turnover in four years is about the NFL average. To paraphrase Thomas Hobbes, life in the NFL is nasty, brutish and short. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't forget to post here too: http://forums.twobillsdrive.com/topic/138308-bills-rooster-turnover-83-since-2007/ Weird how there's two identical topics but one has 71 views and the other one only 42… Remember that Star Trek episode with the Evil Spock in the parallel universe, "Mirror Mirror?"

Technically it's egg farming. Chicken or Egg… one of the two but I think the second, not the first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2003Contenders Posted November 11, 2011 Share Posted November 11, 2011 Just goes to show what a disaster the Marv years were in terms of personnel decisions. Very little remains from those 2006/2007 draft classes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ICanSleepWhenI'mDead Posted November 12, 2011 Share Posted November 12, 2011 (edited) There are several proposed theoretical explanations for the observed phenomenon of 83% rooster turnover: 1. The earth's inner core is tens of kilometers off-center; http://www.technologyreview.com/blog/arxiv/27321/ 2. The future has resumed its efforts to sabotage experiments being conducted at the Large Hadron Super Collider (you can't make this stuff up); http://io9.com/5380647/is-the-large-hadron-collider-being-sabotaged-from-the-future 3. Chicken Little (a well-known expert on rooster demographics) was right! 4. Ralph is cheep. 5. It's hard to keep your rooster upright in the NFL.

T master Posted November 12, 2011 Share Posted November 12, 2011 Any time any team beats the boys it's a good day as far as i'm concerned , but it would be a glorious day if the Bills beat them just like it was when they beat the Pats !!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
