So, yeah, Tim Graham may have had a bit of a presence here, but when you're a guy who has to stand behind your words, you're going to have a large presence.
This is an important point. Put another way, Tim Graham is Tim Graham. You know him in a restaurant, on the street, wherever. He, JW, others who eschew anonymity do so in the name of adding an element of validity to what they post. Unfortunately, and likely knowingly, in doing so they invite those of us who will to paint a target on them and lob grenades from our safe little internet bunkers. Having to deal on a daily basis with those of us who are willing to anonymously spray paint someone's lawn to prove a meaningless point has got to be a bit tedious, even if it is only a small percentage of the fanbase. Unfortunately, I think a larger percentage is ok with a lack of civility and assume that there is nothing personal about using a pseudonym to attack a psuedonym, despite the fact that not everyone on the receiving end is using one.

I just don't see why a "Golden Boy" would choose a team with such a depressing history. Especially in a division that faces the Patriots twice a year.
Ego? Turn this situation around where so many others failed and no one can dispute your accomplishments; fail and you can always point to the organizational shortcomings as you head back to school.

Yeah, yeah, yeah... hand me the keys, grandpa, and I'll SHOW you how this car is meant to be driven!

I'm an analytics guy. I love this forward thinking approach. It's more than just saving money. It's using big data to drive how you strategize the approach of an organization.
So, your saying, not dumping 100 million at the feet of one player, but breaking it up and pursuing several lesser talents that together are more likely to have a larger impact, for example?

We have no idea the extent of Ralph's involvement. We can guess, but that is all it is.
True, but it's hard to imagine that his involvement over the last 1+ years is as much as it has been in years past given his age and recent hospitalization. I suspect that Brandon's role today is the same as what it was this past season, only now Ralph's made it official. More to the point, I feel like the press conferece today was marketing a change that had essentially already taken place.
-
The only difference between today and yesterday is that as of today Ralph Wilson is "officially" no longer meddling... I suspect in actuality that nothing is really different between last season and this coming season from an organizational standpoint. As a fanbase, we can only hope that the "differences" manifest in the coaching search this time around, otherwise, unfortuntately, today's Buffalo Bills are the same as yesterday's Buffalo Bills.

This thread is so sad. I never thought I would have wished for trolling, but that would at least make some sense here.
Tim Anderson was actually a white collar snob who dined on caviar and sipped Dom Perignon while secretly hating blue collar cities and the people who lived in them. He never owned a lunch pail, and would scoff at the ridiculousness of the mere suggestion of it...
Ask and ye shall receive.

T-mobile girl is Carly Foulkes, not Jessica Pare.
Doh! I stand corrected.

can the t-mobile broad sing? i would follow her up a hill in her batgirl outfit.
T-mobile girl, Jessica Pare, is also Megan on Mad Men.

FWIW Gruden did say during a Monday night football game in early october this year that if he did get back into coachin that 3 teams would be of an interest to him...minny, SD, and Buffalo.
Forgot about that, but saw another thread about that on another board that reminded me
Interesting choices. All teams around from the merger without a ring. Maybe Gruden likes the idea of a challenge, like winning a Super Bowl in Tampa Bay.

You'll be fine. You have a Harvard degree, and coach Lee can help you with your mechanics on the NYSE trading floor. I, however, have a gnarled turtle flipper hand and no future.

I think it would be awesome if Fitz was in the Pro Bowl. He and John Potter could be the Bills representatives. I think between the two of them they symbolize the Bills perfectly.

a drafted rookie will start in a meaningless finale after bills clinch home field
Who then tears it up, leading the Bills (Ralph) to make an ill advised decision (edict) and start him in the playoffs, only to have his confidence shattered, which sends his career into a downward spiral from which he and the fans never recover.
In 2015 the team relocates to a deserted island for the good of humanity, and instead of playing football they are turned into a reality TV show called "Survivor, Lord of the Flies." The show ends as Fitznoggin attempts to vanquish his nemesis, but every time he tries to crush the rookie QB's skull the rock is either intercepted or underthrown.
Sorry, just adding a dash of reality...

Guess you shouldn't have ignored the fact the screen was covering the fire when you decided to throw the jersey in spite of your 115 lb nancy-girl joke of an arm. YOU SUCK!!! BRING IN THE BLIND GUY WITH THE TEE-SHIRT CANNON THAT KNOCKED THE NACHOS OUT OF MY HAND AT THE SABRES GAME LAST SEASON!!!

1) Realignment with Bills, Browns, Jags, Chiefs, Raiders making up a JV division that plays a "pseudo-season" amongst themselves. At the end of the season, the GM of the division champion will select an all-star team comprised of the division's best players to be coached by the head coach of the division champion. This all-star team will play the lowest seeded wild card team in the NFL playoffs with the opportunity to advance in place of the wild card in the unlikely event that they win. This will give the long suffering fans of the "not quite ready for the NFL" teams something to cheer for after the regular season ends. Assignment to this JV division will be on a rotating basis just in case one of the JV teams starts to dominate the division too much and a varsity NFL team starts to suck too much.
2) Eliminate the **Patriot specific exceptions from the rule book
3) Banish all of Buddy Ryan's kin from the league while lobbying world leaders to expand this ban to include the planet. I would include Ndamukong Suh in this exile, but I fear getting kicked in the balls before he's actually launched into space.

Thanks for the feedback! What's amateur is the Bills' talent evaluation skills.
Bills select Torrell Troupe in the 2nd. Very Next pick: Gronkowski.
Bills select Marcus Easley. Merely a few picks later: Aaron Hernandez.
Now THAT is what I call amateur!
Pardon me, but I think you still have some of *Belichick's gravy on your chin.

Live just west of "the D," so seen my share of Lions football. No one player to blame, just sloppy, undisciplined football team wide.

What has happened to Gailey ? It seemed when he first came aboard he had some fight in him but as time goes on it's like he's turning into a old man right before our eyes almost like Jauron is taking over his sole !!
Are you suggesting that DJ is stealing his fish or haunting his feet?
-
That's definitely Bell and not Glenn. We played the Raiders last year.
And there's no new 3/4 white collar on the jersey.

Fair enough and you've got a point. Though I will add that if the D picked up Fitz by not allowing the TD at the end the Bills still win.
What were the odds of the D picking anyone up yesterday? The only chance of winning that game at that point was not to turn the ball over, which Fitz did right on cue. Fitz and that D deserve each other. It's not mutually exclusive. They both suck, and they both need fixing. TJax is not going to save this season, however pulling Fitz is at least a sign the team is acknowledging that the 2nd string at best QB as your starter **** may coming to an end this season. I suspect the recent run heavy approach is already a harbinger of Fitz's last days.
Bills hire Doug Marrone to be Head Coach

So much so that you forgot to sign your post! And from the looks of it, several subsequent ones! I don't know what to think of the promotion of Russ Brandon, the hiring of Doug Marrone, or the fiscal cliff, but I expect there to be some normalcy in the world when I wake up on a Sunday morning. PTR, I don't know how to handle all of this change! PLEASE... (wheeping)... FOR THE LOVE OF ALL THAT IS GOOD AND HOLY... (sobbing)... SIGN YOUR POSTS!!!... (outright wailing)
