JOE IN HAMPTON ROADS

This is great life advice but hard to follow when you work closely with people from all over the country who follow teams like the Packers, Stikllers, Giants, Pats (!), etc. I don't hear the end of it on Mondays in the fall and I can't defend the franchise with a straight face anymore. On the plus side, being a Bills fan has brought me instantly closer to other Bills fans, wherever I've gone.

Stevie Johnson is cheap.

Yup . . .anyway looks like Smith is going to KC.

Well reasoned, and I'm not saying you're wrong. But I would be excited just to get to the playoffs in the next three years. SB is but a distant deam . . . I'm not holding out for the "one".

Right now a QB who can regularly win ganes and get us to the playoffs would be a HUGE UPGRADE and I would be ecstatic to have him. The "one" can come later when we have a defense that can win championships, which we do not have now.

Isn't it interesting how we all agree we need an upgrade at QB, but when an actual name is floated, nearly everyone balks because he's not the "one"?Getting the "one" is a matter of luck. All I know is Fitz isn't the "one" and Smith could be the "one". I for one am ready to give him a chance, even if it means a big cap hit from Fitz.

Well done sir!

Game is now officially over.

I could watch the two girls dancing again. And again.

Just throwing that out there.No worries mon! Love the Jeep commercial. Well done.

I'll give Sketchers a thumbs up

VW: that was "racist"? Anyone offended?

The people Bud is advertising to don't watch football much. Very European . . . much be an INBEV thing.

Audi is the only one worth watching so far. All others = yawn Doritos goat = fail

We haven't had bandwagon fans since Flutie left. Hey it's my 500th post - do I owe someone beer?

Was that former player Marshawn Lynch?

+1 Anyone have a specific decision made by RB (not RW) that has caused the Bills to miss the playoffs for 12 years?

Interesting data from Sports Stats Overload: Top 5 Smallest NFL TV Markets 1. Green Bay - Market #70. Definitely has to be one of the early teams, because no way in the world would the NFL go into market #70. 2. New Orleans - Market #53. Pre-Katrina, New Orleans was in the mid-40s of market size. 3. Buffalo - Market #51. Buffalo has slowly slid down the ranker. 4. Jacksonville - Market #47. When Jacksonville joined the league in 1995, they were the second smallest NFL market. Combine Jacksonville's growth with Katrina, and Buffalo's shrinkage, and now they're 4. 5. Cincinnati - #34 - Not showing much growth, but will not be passed by any of the smaller four anytime soon. Interesting that the last two Super Bowl champs are from the SMALLEST markets. While we're at it, the largest markets without an NFL team: #2 Los Angeles - well-documented lack of passion for NFL; this is the new go-to town when teams threaten to leave. #19 Orlando - With three teams already in Florida, and, those three not showing the overwhelming desire to sell out their stadiums, Orlando does not foresee any NFL-ing. #20 Sacramento - The California state capitol is two hours from Bay Area that hosts two teams (Niners and Raiders). #22 Portland - Portlanders have shown interest, giving the NFL the nudge that they are interested in becoming home to a team. Those NFL wheels turn slowly.

Coming primarily from an ethnic background rarely honored in American culture - Polish - it's difficult for me to understand why some Native American groups would prefer to erase all references to their fighting prowess and warrior heritage. Maybe "Redskins" is not the most honorable reference, but I have to say that if they ever named a pro sports team the Pollacks, I would proudly root for them. That said, if Native Americans universally find the name offensive, far be it from me to tell them how they should feel.

If his ST squad is still ranked in the top 5 for the league, I would be glad to hire him on. Nothing salves a bitter loss from years ago like winning in the postseason.

Well that was a long walk. Rus Whalix - I love it! Add it to the inside joke thread!

Only on condition there are no more wildcat plays!
