dwight in philly

the playoff loss to san diego in the 1980 season playoffs. fergy was hobbled, the bills lead most of the way and would have hosted oakland the following week. was a horrible feeling to see ron smith break bill simpson's tackle for the TD. i am totally convinced the bills would have beat oakland, then philly in the super bowl. wide right didnt hurt as much for some strange reason.

thanks!, interesting read, i do not think many fans, including myself, did not think the trade would turn out out so horribly. it was the beginning of a typical bills downslide.lamonica turned into an AFL icon, the bills were just a season away from the first part of the harvey johnson "glory years".

one less team to compete for a wild card.i always watch games from a perspective of " how will the bills benefit " mindset. i have the utmost respect for manning and it sure is sad, the colts are in trouble, to say the least, but it just reshuffles the wild card deck a bit.

i thought that was a reach by 3rdnig , just trying to be too clever, that is an ongoing problem on here, too many kings of glib wannabees..

i did much the same except its for my 2 granddaughters. hated to leave buffalo, but with NHL center ice and the NFL sunday ticket , life is good! 23-13 BILLS!

i share the same enthusiasm and i go back to 1960, as an 8 yr old.. totally identify with your anticipation and passion. as for the alleged "football insight or humor" on here, i still come to this site regularly in spite of it!

im glad you mentioned a place here in philly to watch the games if need be. i moved here in 2008 and watch the games on the dish at my daughters. like lots, we have a family get to- together with as much "buffalo food" as we can get our hands on. fortunately wegmans has moved in to this territory and we have access to sahlen's , webers mustard, so all is not lost. just an fyi for people in the northern va , dc area, there is an excellant place called "jimmy's " maybe " jimmy's old time", in herndon va. it is excelllant, shows all the bills and sabres games, true buffalo bar. he even serves beef on weck , highly recommend it!

i actually think gannon is decent. his observations are usually on the money. he is not flowery or bombastic, just critiques what he sees. that is all i need, it is hard enough to watch the NFL now with all the non-stop commercials, video inserts, etc, not having to deal with an over the top jack-ass analyst is somewhat comforting.

i think thigpen gets cut only if a better option is presented by other teams cuts. baltimore is looking , so it should prove to be interesting the next couple of days.

wish they would fit us for these caps rather than buying them in bulk.

:lol:

i was pleasantly surprised by florio's positive take on the bills. like it has been said on here, having a national talking head show some love for the bills is unusual and i will take it. without going out on a limb, injuries will be the key.

i thought about that , but the bills have played jacksonville almost every year for a while now and i am quite sure DelRio faced the press numerous times with allen in attendance. the fact he took the time when he became aware of the situation says a lot. like others on here, i thought DelRio was kind of a jerk, but i guess we are only able to form opinions based on what we see on sundays . but it is heartwarming , to say the least ,to hear about this.

jerry sullivan basically broke the story in his chat last week, but it was rumored for a bit. i think wilson is a straight shooter, critical, yet fair, always informative.

when i read that yesterday, i obviously was impressed by DelRio, that was a classy move, something that the NFL seems to be sorely lacking. it is all about "me", the money , etc, for the NFL. it sure would be nice to return to the game i grew up with and have since watched turn into a greedy monstrosity.

thanks!, i cant speak for all of the ex-residents of buffalo, but i really appreciate the pics. as an original season ticket holder when the ralph opened in 73, i love how the stadium looked!the sun setting, it just looked cool.. the tailgating , brings back warm memories.. hope you keep em coming!

i really dont know much about him other than what a few raven's fans commented about him on PFT. they were not flattering and i am hoping the bills shoot higher.

same here in philly!

i agree, like him or not, he said how i feel, and i am quite sure how others feel, about the bills and commitment to winning. i think pegula has only shined the light directly on the bills and their lack of commitment to winning. "small market" nonsense may finally be exposed as a faulty excuse because in reality, grabbing as much cash as they can every year while not even achieving mediocrity should be obvious.

i watched the first half on the computer and the only thing i like about the team are the uniforms.. they , the bills, as a team appear to suck!.. big time.. but , you get what u pay for! lets "build for the future".. yea right, any QB is going to get killed behind that o line! what is the matter with nix, is he blind?? or is he being told by brandon and littman to make due with x amount of money.. ralph is making money hand over fist while we, the fans, get handed a pile of sh-t..

pat moran says the chiefs may be bringing back otis taylor

no problem, like i said, myself , and most on here, knew who you were referring to. just beware of the grammar and accuracy police that looms out there on here, waiting to strike!

i hear ya.. off the bandwagon the philly fans will be jumping!

was waiting for the "accuracy police", surprised it took so long.. i think most knew who the thread starter meant..

i would use the extra fourth to grab him, sure! why not?
