"Brown is speculating here and not reporting." That's the takeaway here. Nix's connection to SD is what seems to make this speculation plausible. But at the end of the day, it's just that...speculation. Not much different than what happens on this board every day, except maybe not as wildly ridiculous.

Contact Russ Brandon and the front office. Tell them to "show you the baby" and you'll commit...and that you're not the only Bills fan who feels that way. Make your voice heard, whether you think it will help or not.

I believe that anyone who thinks Peyton will go to the Jest is delusional. Eli has finally come into his own and is being talked about as an elite QB. He now owns that town. The Mannings appear to be a very tight-knit family. The last thing big brother (and dad) would want would be for the spotlight to be deflected from little brother. Peyton has achieved legendary status across the league. Right or wrong, Eli would always be compared to Peyton in NYC, more so than in another market. If PM was across town, every mistake by EM would be greatly magnified and scrutinized by the NYC media and fans. I don't believe the family wants that kind of negativity and pressure on Eli. He's carved out his own niche...NYC is his playground. Peyton has several other playgrounds he can potentially own. NYC won't be one of them. Add the fact that NYC media outlets like SNY & YES keep saying that there is more internal strife within the Jest organization than was originally reported and Peyton to NYC doesn't make sense.

Unless the Bills are in it (OK, stop laughing), I don't watch any of this crappy hype from the time the Conference Championship games are over until kickoff of the Super Bowl. If it were the Bills, I'd eat up every last minute of crappy hype.

Other than the the Bills winning, of course, I would have preferred these outcomes: Super Bowl VII: Washington over Miami Super Bowl VIII: Minnesota over Miami Super Bowl IX: Minnesota over Pittsburgh Super Bowl X: Dallas over Pittsburgh Super Bowl XI: Minnesota over Oakland Super Bowl XIII:Dallas over Pittsburgh Super Bowl XIV: LA Rams over Pittsburgh Super Bowl XXII: Denver over Washington Super Bowl XXXII: Green Bay over Denver Super Bowl XXXIII: Atlanta over Denver Super Bowl XXXVI: St. Louis over New England* Super Bowl XXXVIII: Carolina over New England* Super Bowl XXXIX: Philadelphia over New England* Super Bowl XL: Seattle over Pittsburgh Super Bowl XLIII: Arizona over Pittsburgh Boiled down...all Super Bowls won by Miami, New England*, & Pittsburgh are the ones I'd want reversed more than any others.

No mention of Scott Chandler, Bob? I'm guessing that was just an oversight on your part? I think (and hope) that he's fairly high on their list. ^^^^^ This. I think this speculation is much ado about nothing. Freddie has said he trusts Buddy and Buddy is on record as saying they'd take care of FJ and it WOULD get done. I don't think he'd talk in absolutes like that and then end up with a PR nightmare and egg on his face by reneging. He's a straight shooter and I believe him on this. FJ WILL be rewarded...by the Bills.

/\ /\ /\ This. The San Diego Clippers. Then LA. There's nothing remotely Buffalo about that team. They even dropped the 'Braves' moniker. Even LA's other team kept 'Lakers' when they left Minneapolis and that makes even less sense than Clippers. The NBA sucks. Give me college hoops any day.

I hope it's true but I'll believe it when I see it. Wake me up when September (and Ralph) ends...

Like I said, I definitely think Atlanta could win, but I just don't trust them away from their dome and outside in the Northeast. I believe the Giants' pass rush will make Matt Ryan's life miserable and Cruz & Nicks will have a field day against that secondary. JMO

They said on Sirius NFL Radio tonight that Brady Quinn had reportedly taken some snaps with the first team offense this week. The games: New Orleans over Detroit Houston over Cincy (although I don't have a strong feeling on this and wouldn't be at all surprised if Cincy won) New Jersey over Atlanta Pittsburgh over Denver The Saints & Steelers are locks, IMO. Bengals & Falcons could easily emerge victorious in two toss-up games.

For me, the pleasure of a Bills win after two months of frustration...a Christmas miracle. For my 11 year old son, a home Fred Jackson jersey (his favorite player). For my 9 year old son, a home Stevie Johnson jersey (his favorite player). For both of them, Bills earmuffs.

I don't know, Bob. I wish I did. I guess I'm just a masochist. Or a dumbass. Or both. My tag is "Hopeful Bills romantic at heart...". I guess that's why.

"Oh, no! We suck again!" - 'The Waterboy'

These statements sum it up exactly. I texted my brother during the game today and said, "I wish I didn't like (Buffalo) sports but it's like a horrible addiction that I can't kick and will one day kill me." The Bills and Sabres are slowly sucking the life out of me but I can't quit them. They are ingrained in my very being.

Actually, no. The Bills had two 1st Rounders in 1983 and chose Notre Dame TE (and NFL bust) Tony Hunter with the first and then took Kelly later in the round...so, they couldn't even get that right.

They've officially been eliminated, Senator. You need to change your rally cry to: 8 and 8 baby!!!!!

Can you start Wells in the 1st half and C.J. in the 2nd half? You'd have yourself a 'Bean Spiller'...

Water, meet blanket.

Misleading? Yes. The title reads as if Smith might be coming back to Buffalo. Then the OP proceeds to say that it's been speculated that Smith might be fired and the OP would love it if AJ came back to the Bills. Nothing being speculated/reported that Smith could/would be coming back to Buffalo. Just that the OP would like it. Totally misleading. I won't argue your ridiculous point though.

Exactly. Or if they're too cheap to pony up long-term, they can trade him. I certainly don't advocate this...I'd prefer they sign him to a long-term deal. But a trade is certainly better than letting him walk for nothing (or for a low compensatory pick). That said...lock him up, Buffalo.

Interesting that nobody else found the title of this thread to be totally misleading.

Thoughts and prayers to the Wilson family. RIP, AW.

Is this a veiled attempt to say that he's afraid to stick his nose in there?

I bought into this stupid "white out" idea and wore my only white Bills t-shirt. I NEVER wear it for games. Only for sleeping. Stupid white out.
