  1. i am an optimist, but after seeing that line-up, not too fired up. kinda made me face reality.
  2. when the bills were winning under butler, i heard no negative comments about players playing in buffalo, coming to play in buffalo. it has been a culture of mismanagement that has made the team undesirable for the past decade. i know buffalo is not south beach, but a winning tradition would obviously put on us on an even playing field regarding the perception of actually playing here.
  3. absolutely!.. what are they not not getting at OBD?, one marketing firm tells them to go with those awful jersey's they switched to, and they cant see the light!, i am no big fan of the current sabre regime, but at least they dumped their horrible uni's, went with tradition.
  4. i have espoused the same feelings regarding this subject. again, if another team moves to LA, i do not believe there are any other viable, realistic markets for an owner to move the bills. i really only considered san antonio, never thought of OKC, could possibly be another jacksonville, i e:, very strong college presence and history. maybe i am too optimistic about the bills remaining in buffalo, but there just are not many options. toronto?, the CFL would die and is the canadian govt going to allow that to happen? also, where would they play?, i think the wgr's and jerry sullivan's are just too fatalistic and people are actually listening to them!
  5. that sounds too easy and makes too much sense!, just once would i like to see a deal like that get done. the skins just gave up mid level picks for brown. get that left tackle, the season could be interesting.
  6. it seems the bills have been woefully weak in their judgment of the linebacker position for about the last 12-15 years. the previous posters all were right about paup, spielman, covington, cowart and holochek and the seemingly bad luck that occurred with those players and the failure to come up with solutions after them or their injury situation. . my biggest beef is the recent past, the past 2-3 seasons, linebacking appears to be a glaring weakness. why they have refused to address it is beyond me. no offense to keith ellison, but we need more!l liked the davis signing, would have loved to have gotten mcclain in the draft, but they seemed to pass on guys like cato june, freddie keiho, etc, in free agency while going with depth guys. sure june and keiho may or may not have worked out, but it seems they were blind to the weakness.
  7. totally understand and know where you are coming from. i am not a person who has an inferiority complex about the city of buffalo , or the bills. i love and boast proudly of both. my only point is that it seems the jets off-season has been covered on a national basis like no other team in the league. i expect the hype of the cowboys, the nfc east, belichick, tom brady, manning, etc, on and on, but, continuing to hear about buddy ryan and revis on a daily basis just had gotten to me.
  8. its funny, i kept thinking about him after that 5-1 start, and what might have been going thru his mind after he was put on IR. but, naturally, everything turned to garbage and it was a moot point.
  9. i agree completely, that whole scenerio with him just before the season was strange. that being said, guess it remains to be seen if he has any upside left.
  10. are you really that illiterate "new york wise guy" sounding?, or, are you just portraying a character? cannot get a read, but , either way, i find it entertaining..
  11. i do realize that, and appreciate your encouraging words. like i said, it was an impulsive thing and am aware of the crowd on here and really do love the dialogue..
  12. forget it!, some on here are more interested in being glib , witty, whatever.. i am just not there , i guess..... don your lampshades and return to being the life of the party, be the star in your breakroom, i will go back and think deeply before starting a thread..
  13. wow!, just impulsively decided to start a thread, was not looking for attention, but i will certainly be more cognizant of the sensitive people on here, those that "police" this . very tough crowd!.. good for you troll patrol!.. you told me!
  14. i know there was a recent thread about "being sick of hearing about the jets". i just thought i would re-kindle the thoughts. i am quite sure a great deal of the contributors on this site surf the various other football sites. but, come on!, anybody check out ESPN on a regular basis? there is not a day that goes by that there are not articles about revis, rex ryan, jason taylor, same old crap! tim graham just wrote about the new stadium. i , like everyone else on here, hope the jets flop this year. i know it is NEW YORK, but it is nauseating to keep being fed jets hype. enough already!
  15. is your spiller jersey a throwback?, i just rec'd a birthday present that i requested, a blue throwback spiller jersey, it is just plain awesome.
  16. beck and limbaugh are in the same place the hollywood libs are!, NOWHERE TO BE FOUND!, IN ADDITION, why would the "usual suspects" , penn, madonna, bring attention to it. it may bring attention to obama, whom hollywood supported. GOOD FOR THE SAINTS!
  17. did not say they were bad people, just wondering where they are?, like i said, noble effort in haitii , how about the U. S , THATS ALL!
  18. i thought the players on the saints who took the time to help during the gulf oil crisis was really a nice gesture. i sometimes wonder where are the same people i. e. george clooney, sean penn, etc, who couldnt help haitii fast enough! how about stepping it up for the U S A !.. good job saints!
  19. from PFT talk .com:"The team announced today that it will raffle off an authentic Super Bowl ring, with tickets going for just $2 a pop and proceeds going toward Gulf Coast renewal. So if you've always wanted a Super Bowl ring but you've come to the realization that you're probably not going to earn one as a player, this is your chance. I could get on a soapbox here about how cleaning up the oil spill is supposed to be BP's responsibility, and the Saints shouldn't have to do things like this. But I won't. Instead I'll just say that this is a great gesture by a team that has shown a great commitment to its community. It's stories like this that make it hard not to root for the saints".
  20. L A ?, where?, no stadium and no real plans to build them. do you think the owners would just let trump waltz into L A?, highly doubt it. i think he would be humble enough to be part of the NFL fraternity, and smart enough to know he can make money in buffalo.
