  1. You're right. Reshuffle the chairs on the deck of the Titanic. Happy frigging holidays.
  2. I guess that's where I have a major problem. If I'm the owner, regardless of my age, I'd want to go out a winner and would spend the money to do it. If I am looking to leave a legacy for my heirs, how about a franchise that is highly regarded and, subsequently, worth more than a perennial loser? But that's me.
  3. Correct. Ottawa returns next season as the RedBlacks.
  4. 4 - 2 in the division? Yes, please.
  5. I'd like to pose a question to the board: What would be the state of this franchise if the Bills were a perennial contender? I ask this question with a bit of context. I live in Saskatchewan, Canada. From the late '70's to the mid 2000's, our CFL team was pretty much a joke. They kept their payroll low and put the fans through years of agony. All this in a football-rabid province. Consequently, the financial state of the franchise was terrible and it needed a lottery to keep it afloat. Fast forward to now. The team has contended because they are willing to spend the money to be successful. More importantly, winning has allowed them to capitalize on merchandising, so much so that of every dollar spent on CFL merchandise, 70 cents are spent on Saskatchewan gear. The team is flush with cash. I know the CFL is a much smaller (and inferior) product. I also know that the Bills turn a profit regardless of the crap on the field. However, this is an example of how winning helps the bottom line. Thoughts?
  6. Those questions will be answered in the future. Enjoy the win.
  7. I cannot. Stevie needs to be more action and less bluster, in my opinion. I'd rather be happy with what I see, not what I hear. Talking doesn't win games.
  8. And that, my friend, is where we will just have to agree to disagree.
  9. Well researched. I see your point, but I disagree with your conclusion. My guess is that Seattle would not do that deal in retrospect and other teams would be looking at that deal with a wary eye. I suppose teams that are "all in" might look for a player they think might put them over the top, but do you really believe that the acquisition of Stevie will do that? Colour me skeptical. This is a "what have you done for me lately" kind of league. If a team wants to overpay for a middle of the road, possession receiver prone to big drops and fumbles, then hey, I am all for it.
  10. Today's market. Why trade for a mediocre receiver with a big contract when you can draft one that is much less expensive?
  11. That quote is a load of crap. All this means is business owners have to get their mail at a central location rather than have it delivered straight to their door.
  12. Nobody pays a 4th for Stevie. A 6 or 7, maybe.
  13. SJ brings a 6 or 7 tops..
  14. I was going to comment on how being a *Pats fan and coming here is kind of a dick move, then I remembered you are a *Pats fan and it would be a natural act for you.
  15. No. Today was riveting sports entertainment. Loved it...despite the AFC East results.
  16. A great day around the league until that joke of a finish.
  17. Gronkowski carted off. Brady implodes and fumbles.
  18. Gronkowski carted off. Brady implodes and fumbles.
  19. Manuel certainly looks lost.....and I had hoped he would be the answer.
  20. -45 C wind chill here. Fabulous day. And for the record, I don't want him here. I want us to progress under Hackett.
  21. Good topic. I am in the Manuel camp. As many know, under my former moniker of Marauder24 I was somewhat critical of Pickspatrick. I see the glass half full with EJ and enjoyed seeing him rebound after the Steelers fiasco. Though he didn't put up great last week, he had us in position to win the game twice.
  22. Great point.
  23. I agree...I don't think there is any chance of that. However it won't stop people here from clamouring for it.
  24. Expected to be fired today. Discuss. Edit: Has been fired.
