They have to count for something, and I say they account for 2 extra wins all by themselves

This is a league where respect is earned by winning. You don't get it by looking good on a handful of plays, then ultimately lose. Success never rewards the wrong team.

Since the unveiling of the new uniforms I had done a 180 on my comments. I was sure they would whiff on this opportunity, since I really wanted the throwbacks as the new uni, but the new ones look every bit as good, if not better then my absolute favorites(2009 all white throwbacks). The team looked epically classic, and the all white setup is something we should never move away from. Like the Colts, it's classic. The helmets look very crisp, even if I am not used to the smaller logo, it was noticeable to me and I'd like to see them enlarge it even slightly. It was really nice to seethe Bills not look like an arena football team for once(the all blue abomination) and even better were the flashes of some players finally coming around didn't hurt either. I know there are those who liked the blue pants, but I hope to never see them as an option now, it was a 70's kind of thing, and only seems to work for those teams that have been committed to that look. Detroit, Kansas City, Browns, Cincinnati, and even Miami have done the dark pants thing at one time, but I'd just love to see our team stick with this clean look for once.

I wouldn't be opposed to this, I think he has the physical tools to be good, and with Tyler you know what you get.

This was a funny post. Even funnier are all the comments made from people who didn't get it.

I didn't know I was starting a thread that collected Butt-holes... thanks for the replies.

OK, We're all mad at the stupidity of the Bills FO, so here's a little distraction. My friends and I over the years, and some going waaaay back to my youth, used to come up with slang names for all the other teams in the league we hated. some are good, some are dumb. Here's my list of the ones I can remember, and some left blank. Post up some of your best, or improve on some of mine...

Anything less than a 3rd rounder would be a complete waste of talent. And I'd even go as far as saying that a 3rd and a 5th should be about right.

Right now I'll take anything that sounds good in that regard...

Yeah, that is one of my all time favorite episodes. It ranks right up there with "The Blue Harvest" Family guy episodes as an all-time classic.

I have yet to find a stream I can actually get to work...

Warren Sapp and Michael Irvin, I can't stand those 2

Unfortunately, the good natured ribbing of opposing fans and the excessive drinking and fan behavior is ruined by those who take it too far, and in many cases can be dangerous and unsafe to others. also the violence that has gotten worse over the last decade at stadiums around the league is tarnishing the family atmosphere that the game wishes to cater to. In 1997 a friend and I went to soldier field to witness the eventual 6-10 Bills lose to the 3-13 bears that day, and even with the 2 teams going nowhere that season, we barely made it out of the stadium that day. Rocks were thrown at us, and a group of about 40 very drunk and violent fans began surrounding us with a few Bears Fan loud mouths trying to incite a fight. We managed to get the mob closer to the streets where traffic police could be seen, and the crowd opened up enough for us to get to our car. If it weren't for the traffic police there is no doubt we would have been seriously injured. In 2000 I witnessed similar behavior in Tampa with another group of Bills fans, and even with my group of friends wearing Bills jerseys, they seemed to not mess with us that day, but none the less, it was nearly a full blown riot. These new rules are trying to eliminate this type of behavior, and since these incidents I simply don't care to go to any more away games, it's a waste of my money, and getting too dangerous. We're not much better in Buffalo anymore, I have seen a Miami fan and his son endure some of the most vulgar behavior and a barrage of profanities that made me sick. It is always fun to partake in good fan ribbing and banter, but when the drunkards take it too far, it ruins it for everyone. As far as the smoking goes I could give a rats ass that people can't smoke in the stadium seating area, the smoke ruins the game for me personally, but I do think there should be an area to go if you do smoke. I would probably suggest more security, rather than goofy rules, but you can blame the @$$holes that take it too far.

Anything positive he does from this point on is what I have been using to evaluate him as a player. Since all lofty expectations have been lifted, I would be very pleased to see him develop into a solid line backer that can flash some brilliance from time to time. He can only get better at this point, but the real question is will he make the team now, or is it too late...

If this team doesn't play decent football this year, the only thing it will be due to is a lack of execution by the talented players on the team, and the very suspect offensive line. also very important to the success of the team is the play of Ryan Fitzpatrick, which is linked to O-line play, and whether or not defense is stronger. I am not optimistic, but I am not going to say the team sucks and can't do well. 8-9 wins are very achievable, but I am not truly expecting more than 6-7. still waiting for the baby....

2 drafts dedicated to defensive linemen needs to start paying off soon, but Dareus is just one guy, and a rookie, so to expect to be amazed this year is unrealistic at best given where he will be playing. I have heard though that he has been hard to handle at times, and has been very disruptive. If he is going against wood, I will take that as a good sign he is doing well.

I'd like to stay away from more snow references in all honesty, we have enough association with that. If they end up being good I'd like to suggest The Amish Express

I know I am contradicting myself by starting this thread, but I think we all know the kid simply can't play at the pro level, should never have been drafted in any round let alone the 1st round, and made things worse by holding out. 1. It's not his fault where he was drafted 2. Despite what people think, he does work hard, the light is simply not coming on plain and simple. 3. His talent level is not on par with NFL standards. There's literally no game film to critique, no on field attitude a-la Whitner to bash, so I am politely requesting we all agree it's time we as fans move on and quit bashing the guy, he'll be released this season anyway.

I don't share your optimism quite as much, but there's no doubt the team does have more talent this year on paper. What this team needs to do is execute now. There are some serious expectations on some of these athletes, and it's time they get angry, quit all the hopeful and wishy-washy comments and play some "punch you in the mouth" football. Know you are better than your opponent, then go prove it. Let's play some damn football already, I'm tired of watching great practice highlights. It's time this bunch of pansies earns our optimism and I'm waiting for them to step up. Win some games you bunch of whiners!! I'm still waiting for the baby.

When did we sign Cosmic K. Forces? I bet we got him on the cheap....

Thanks for the well wishes, the Packers have always been one of my favorite NFC teams as well. Good luck this season!

I love the helmet's new look, but really did want the standing loge to return, but this is so sharp looking I am more than happy. Now as long as they don't bring back the blue pants I'll be very happy.

Miami Dolphins at the Ralph. No matter what the team's records are, it will feel like a playoff game. You really can't go wrong.

I like Moats, I really do, but his height and playing weight was a factor at OLB, and just because Bills nation has a man crush on him for making a few noteworthy plays doesn't make him a game changer yet. Quite simply he was probably the best LB on the team a year ago, but that's simply not the case this year with players like Merriman showing strong signs of recovery from injury. There's plenty to like about the guy, and it just might make sense that he can do more damage as an ILB in the 3-4 set, and have strong play calling skills as the defensive signal caller playing MLB in the 4-3 set. I see this as a good thing, when a guy is talented, coaches will move you around a bit.
