Better one...better two? Better one...better two?

"What are we eating tomorrow?" Hopefully, for NE* and their fans, it's CROW!!! Eat like the rest of the group. Just spit on it and get back in the game...it's football!!! Just snacky/appetizer type stuff and some Blue Lights. LET'S GO BUFFALO!!!

What did you expect? The Bills have sucked forever and the national media has been ballwashing Brady & Co.* forever now, as well. Be prepared if the Bills win...all you'll hear is what the Pats* did wrong and not what the Bills did to win. "Off day" for NE*, blah, blah, blah. I'll take the over on all. The next time Marshall Faulk says anything funny, intelligent, or interesting, it will be the first. He's one of the most useless wastes of oxygen employed by the NFL Network. Maybe those "fans" can hang out with the handful of d-bags who still think it's cool to wear an O.J. jersey.

GAME DAY IN 'THE RIC', BABY!! LET'S GO BILLS!!!

That would be a typical Bills move...declare that Brad Smith will be the Week 1 starter AFTER already having put him on IR. Brilliant.

That's a shoulder patch, at best. If they EVER change to that, I'll beat you over the head with it...(j/k).

Nice. After all of the bad news coming out of OBD, lately, the title of your thread made me laugh. Whether your pun was intended or not, good job.

Just made my annual call...very late to the game this year. Talked to a very nice and informative female rep. So here is what I got.: - Sunday Ticket Max (Red Zone/mobile/internet) for $147...she said that since I got it free last year I couldn't get it free this year (but I paid $75 for the Max upgrade last year anyway w/ the free basic ST). - $200 Visa Gift Card...this basically gives me the ST Max for free + $53 to the good (after the $147). - Free Genie + 4 free mini-Genies...we were due for an equipment upgrade so the Genie was free with 3 minis plus free installation. She credited the $49 for the 4th mini so that we'd have entire upgrades throughout the house (6 TVs on 3 floors). She also suggested we keep our main HD DVR which would give us the capability to record up to 7 programs at once versus the 5 with the Genie. All of this at no additional monthly cost to what we were already paying. Note: I did have to make a two year "commitment" (the buyout fee is $20 per month for every month still "under contract") but I had no intention of leaving, even though I played that card (firmly but nicely). - I wasn't eligible for any programming discounts because I still had some credits that don't fall off until mid-September. She told me to call back on September 20th after my next billing cycle hits and ask for the 'Loyalty Department'. Since all credits will be gone then, she said I'd "definitely" be eligible to knock some $$ off the monthly bill because nothing was done with programming today and I've been a DTV customer in good standing "forever". After all of this today, I'll still be reaping additional benefits in a couple of weeks. My goals going in were: 1) Get Sunday Ticket Max for free or at a substantial discount...check. 2) Get the Genie plus at least an additional mini for free...check. 3) Get my monthly bill lowered... check (in two weeks). Mission accomplished in a very pleasant 52 minute phone call (which seemed much shorter than that). Man, I love me some DirecTV! GO BILLS!!!

On the contrary. I don't think there's anything happy about it...especially for the home team.

I heard a rumor that there have been rumors about Jairus Byrd but that's unsubstantiated...or so it's been rumored.

God bless. Great story and thanks for sharing. My dad is also the reason that I am a lifelong, diehard Bills fan. There's not a day that goes by that I'd like to both thank and curse him for it. I'll be taking my sons, ages 13 & 11, to their first Bills game on Saturday vs. Washington. They're both over the moon with excitement and the older will proudly be wearing his Fred Jackson jersey, the younger proudly wearing his Stevie Johnson jersey. Hopefully, they'll take away some great memories like the ones your father forever provided you. Hang in there and thanks for sharing in your time of grief. GO BILLS!!!

Welcome back, Jairus!

Yet these two teams have won exactly the same number of Super Bowls under their respective owners. Face it, the Foreskins have been the Bills South. They were irrelevant and going nowhere until they were able to land 'Bob, Part 3'. The only difference is that Washington has spent a lot more money for a losing product and done a much better job of gouging their fans for every penny they can. That and the fact that Snyder is a complete prick and reprehensible human being. He, Jerry Jones, & Bob Kraft are everything that's wrong with today's "modern NFL".

Twat did you say? I cun_ hear you.

Maybe 'Little Dummy' Snyder should move them to LA. I hear the NFL is looking to put a team or two out there. No, thanks. That stadium sucks...but I'll tolerate it next Saturday. GO BILLS!!!

It's the equivalent of the infamous "lower body injury" in hockey.

Ditto. My personal, favorite Rian Lindell moment: A buddy of mine is a Redskins season ticket holder and took me to their game against the Bills at FedEx Field in December of 2007. It was a chilly, misty/rainy day and the Bills had struggled offensively most of the game, save for four Lindell FGs (and a safety by the defense). The partisan crowd was emotionally jacked because it was Sean Taylor day - the team's first game following the murder of their star safety - and it looked all day long like Washington would win. The Bills trailed 16-14 and got the ball late in the game for a final drive. Trent Edwards miraculously drove them down field and into FG range with only seconds left in the game. Lindell lined up for a 51 yarder at our end of the field. As the rain came down, he nailed it with room to spare. My buddy couldn't believe it and I was stunned but elated. Then the announcement by the officials: "Timeout, Washington." Head Coach Joe Gibbs had called a timeout just prior to the snap. I was now dejected and my buddy breathed a sigh of relief. Lindell lined up again for another 51 yarder in the rain. As he awaited the snap, the whistle blew and a flag was thrown and I thought, "WTF, now?!", then I realized that Gibbs had succumbed to a massive brain fart and had called a second consecutive timeout! 15 yard penalty, Washington! A second 51 yarder became a more than manageable 36 yarder. No problem for Lindell. Good!! Five FGs on the day and the Bills win in a weird thriller, 17-16. The two hour car ride home to Richmond was a joy that felt like 10 minutes to me, not so much to my buddy. lol Thanks for that memory, Rian, and many others. May your future endeavors treat you well. Let the Dustin Hopkins era begin. Make it a good one, kid.

If so, he'll have to pry it from Roberto's cold, dead hands.

I was 9 years old at the time, living in Grand Island, but wasn't lucky enough to have attended the game; however, a neighbor across the street went and gave me the commemorative coin. To this day, it's still one of my most cherished pieces of Bills memorabilia. All these years I've I wondered if he ever regretted giving it to me. lol Like many others, I listened to that game on the radio. That was the Duane Thomas game. http://www.profootba...king--football/ Apparently, not. Kelly reached the national semifinals at San Diego in 1970 and won his local competition in 1971. http://www.isledegra...elly1-13-05.htm Yes, I had both. http://www.bicyclehe....org/page6.html Ditto.

Who said he was the greatest CB in Bills history??? Good God, your irrational hate of him is over the top. I don't think one person in this thread stated that he was the best. Again, he was a 4th Round pick. You have an ax to grind. End of story.

Simply stated, the fact that you think a 4th Round draft pick is "overrated" is asinine. He wasn't a top 10 pick, he was a freaking 4 Rounder. Sign me up for that kind of production from all of the Bills 4th Round picks. Get a grip, dude.

Yes:

They aren't. They're Corn Flakes-esque.

Will this be the newest Jauron-esque TBD catch phrase should the offense sputter this year?

Two more words: asinine thread
