All these threads - Dareus stinks, SJ is a joke, not sold out...., fire Edwards, we need a 3-4 guru, Maybin at the Jets...can all be merged into one - the Bills orgainization is a total joke. Good players/coaches come here and decline, bad/coaches players leave here and do well - just name them. We had one great era - the Bill Polian era. BTW - Polian left because Ralph did not want to pay an injury settlement to Jamie Mueller. Polian got mad because it would deter free agents - Ralph's daughter was in the meeting and told Polian something - Polian dropped that "C" word and it was over - we lost the greatest exective ever in the NFL. The SJ is representaive of it all. This was the SECOND time a SJ TD celebration resulted in a 15 yarder on the kickoff....how does this happen in any decent organization? It cost the Bills a TD and the game. Did anyone on the team/coaching staff get in his face either during/after the game? Chan - who I like - says he needs to learn....WTF...can you imagine SJ pulling such a stunt in the Kelly/Polian era. Want to walk to the sideline and tell Bruce Smith to buck up and hold a team from your 35 instead of their 20? What is Fitz going to go over in the locker room - put his teenage ninja mutant turtle t shirt on and tell SJ to cool it? Please.... This team and organization has no leaders and wants none - it is a perfect example of a company where either consciously or unconsciously the management won't hire smart leaders because they might outshine the people above. At the end of the day -the joke is on us - we pay for - write about and follow our "loveable losers". We make insightful comments about the draft, nuances of the defense and offense. But what we have is a business that is on a 10 year cash grab - especially right now in the seasons before the salary cap floor starts. Our problem is we the care and investment the fans make is not matched by the owner. An organization like this just is not worth having.

Yes - because someone with 14,000 posts (could be a sign!) is SO MUCH smarter and well versed than someone new PTR - could you give us some insight on how many posts it takes to become as knowledgeable and respected as you?

On IR

Maybe he is right.... They are 9-7 over their last 16.....sounds about average BTW - he said his favorite bet is the Bills + points

Well - as my buddy from SF said last week - the Bills played last Sunday like they were 30,000,000 below the cap - the Bills fail to invest in their team - don't expect the fans to invest in tix.....

East Aurora is EA - next to OP outside B-LO Mark Kelso's kid - Mark Kelso - old enough to remember him? Little Loop is Pop Warner Football Yes - I am comparing him to a 9-10 year old - Kelso's kid at that age knew how to read blocking patterns, see plays developing and he (he was always the RB) would following his blocker and understand where the holes WOULD develop in the next second. Spiller doesn't have that - FJ does. Spiller just wants to blast off - FJ studied tapes of Kelso

This post kills me..."Time for him to step up!!" This statement makes it seem like he has been holding back - he has another gear - he can play better. Oh - good - can't wait to see him step up!! My take on Spiller is this: If you look at his college highlight real - most of his big runs were sweeps to the outside - he had enough speed to get to the outside and once there - he had one defender to beat and used his speed. Can't do that in the NFL - he doesn't know how to run in traffic - which is what FJ does well. This is why the Bills use him in screens and pass plays - put him in positions where he can try to use his speed - he lacks traffic skills. I live in EA and watched Kelso's kid play little loop - at age 9 kid knew how to use his blockers - he would follow/wait and then hit the hole (FJ)....that is not Spiller. Spiller doesn't have a "step up" - he is what he is.

Well - if you want to know who is in first - ask Pats and Bills fans whose record (w/l - opponents) they would rather have....

its almost like it was photoshopped

Hi Thanks for the note. My sincerest apologies that the intent of my article was missed. I love Buffalo; one of my best friends is from there, and I spent a perfectly enjoyable weekend there a few years back. It was meant as a satire of those who think of your city - and mine - as out-of-the-way dumps in need of some Ivy League sophistication. If the intent was missed, it's because I probably shouldn't make attempts at satire. Anyway, thanks for reading, even if I only enraged you. Can we call it even after what your Bills did to my Chiefs in Week 1? Reeves Dude, Could you have spent less time on your blip about Fitz? You just couldn't resist blasting Buffalo with the same old crappy cut and paste ****. Cold winters declining population...blah, blah, blah, Did you use Google to write that or did you visit here and come up with these grand insights on your own? New York's winter's equally suck.

Here is the way I kind of see it. You can win with a top rated offense and or defense that grinds out statistics - maybe say like old Bill Parsells teams or the Jets. Grind it out, let your statistically superior team have its results regress to the mean. You can get beat once in a while but after 16 games....you have won 10 to 12 of them. The other way to do is skip the stats and MAKE PLAYS. The Pats have been living on this for the last 8 years. Bills are statistically almost equal to the Pats - and in the same way have a 4-1 winning record - why? Because both teams MAKE BIG important plays. The Bills have been making plays on both sides of the ball all year long - big offensive and big defensive plays that leap frog the stats. I do beleive that the league has changed since the Parcells days and the factor of winning has changed from grinding out stats - to that of having a team that makes plays. The question the thread starter posited - is this 4-1 record a statistic anomoly? I don't think so - I think our coaching staff and other staffs (New England) have teams and game plans that enables the team to MAKE PLAYS. Unsustainable? Good question - after 16 games we will know!

The refs did blow it with the clock at the end - should have been at 1:53 instead of 1:43....home cookin?

Made the same comment to my wife last night

Big Cat....Do I know you? Know anyone named marto? danno?

Next up......"When did you start hating your country?"

Well - There is hating him because he is on a rival - and that can be expected - but to add jealousy fueled analysis just diminishes your opinion. Brady is one of the all time great QB's - that is a fact - doesn't mean you can't hate him.

I always love - er I me loathe it - when some fan, local radio personality....starts with "I want to see...or I need to see....". What are you guys....on the coaching staff? Owners...? Jerry Sullivan? What are you going to do if you don't see what you are looking for....start a thread.....?

Here is my Bledsoe story - I am golfing at a local cc and Bledsoe and a local tv talent personality car rep are in front of me (who I know - hey it is East Aurora - its like high school here) - we catch them - it is the day after a preseason saturday game - West Herr introduces me to drew - I say hi, welcome, and crack a joke - "Aren't you 'sposed to be breaking down films from last nights game?" Hey looks at me and says he has been playing FB for 26 years and doesn't need to look at film anymore. He and West Herr can hit the ball a mile BTW

But they just had "Match Game!!!" Absolutely hysterical - I had to pull over - couldn't stop laughing!!! Sabretooth...........

The whole la stadium thing is very interesting - as a business model - it is the same a Gerry Stadium in Dallas - by requiring private funding now for these stadiums - essentially what you now have is owning a stadium that you need to fill to make a return for the private investors - the NFL team simply becomes one element to making the stadium pay for itself....and that won't happen simply with 10 sundays a year. The business model includes all sorts of other attractions to fill and pay off the investors. What you have is a stadium owner using a football team......instead of a football team owner using the city/county/state supplied stadium. Also interesting because public funding for stadiums is gone for the future - prolly good for our bills as LA is the only location left in the US where a privately funded stadium could make sense Of course there is Toronto.......

Seriously - have you heard those guys on Howard Stern......it is almost painful to listen to as they humiliate the host.....you have to get a bunch of people to do it - calling in from different numbers....I assume that Dope would simply not do any calls - maybe a long term plan of consistant needling would be good

I always thought it would be great to organize a call in assault on Dope and his Lapdog similar to what the two guys on the Stern show do - I think its Sal and Richard - where they just do call in after call in of staged calls to humiliate/antagonize Radio Talk shows....I think we could get Dope to actually blow a fuse....

Hey - Steve Johnson - wait till you get into the endzone before celebrating....have a little patience before making yourself look like TO/Ochocinco....

Franchise Qbs.....????
