But....but.....I thought Roethlisberger was overrated? I know I read that somewhere here.

Now we're gettin' to the good part!! T Minus... 10 days and counting!!!

That's always been a theory of mine. Then again, it doesn't appear to be a popular one. Detroit has an atrocious O line, yet spent the top pick on "franchise QB" Stafford instead of getting a stud like Jason Smith to protect the QB. Leading up to the draft, all the experts kept saying how you, "don't pass up a franchise QB" blah blah blah. Well, they got their man; I only hope he's not in the ICU by Week 14 due to crappy blocking.

I concur w/ others who point out that while the Bills can be accused of spending poorly, they cannot be called "cheap". Actually, per the latest Forbes report, the Bills are a $900 million team. As for who would buy 'em and keep 'em in WNY? I wish I knew. We'll do our best to keep things civil. But, this point has been rehashed a ridiculous amount of times here over the years. Ralph Wilson either needs to hire someone he trusts (big problem) to do the job of managing the team and have that person prove to be effective in that role (unlike Donahoe or Levy) or the team needs new ownership. It's been this way for years. 'Til the Bills have the infrastructure in place (cohesion from ownership to management to coaching to players), don't expect much. We welcome you to the board.

Pity.

Or it could be that Troy Polamalu guy.

Yeah tenny, the Ravens "suck". Even though they played in the AFC championship game last year. That's right; they suck. The Bills suck. Everyone sucks. Sarcasm sucks.... Wait a minute...

That's an utterly ridiculous statement to make 'bout Dockery. What heart?

I've heard a lot of that as well, but I have heard some encouraging remarks from a few folks. I only wish one of those few were myself.

We're well past the year point. No change.

I hear ya on the dissatisfaction thing. After dealing w/ Verizon Online's crap for far too long, I decided to call up Comcast just to see what it would cost to switch from DSL to their cable modem. I figured it would be costly, especially since I've had DirecTV since I bought my home in 2001 and have no interest in switching to cable. So, this was just for my internet usage. Yeah, it cost me more (not nearly as much as I feared), but it's absolutely worth it to me to have reliable service and customer service that doesn't make me want to strangle someone. Once I decided to call Verizon back to cancel my DSL service, they tried all kinds of crap to get me to stay w/ 'em. Sorry, not interested. If you wanted to keep my service, try being a bit more professional and reliable. You weren't, so....see ya. I've had zero issues w/ my Comcast service in the time since I made the switch.

Therin lies the problem.

Please do not post any more links to the Lankster video. They will be removed.

Yeah. Per "MarvLevy" over there, I'm an embarrassment to you all. My bad.

Here are the 5 questions: 1. Which Bill will make the biggest play (good play) on Monday night? EDIT: Answer McKelvin. Credit: Silvermike Leodis McKelvin 2. Outside of McLaughlin's obvious choice from old polls and still reigning champ, who is currently the hottest female on the planet? Maude Flanders 3. If you participate in fantasy baseball and you prepare properly, the same player should have topped your draft list for the past 5 years or so. Who is that player? Ichiro Suzuki 4. September 14th and into the 15th will be "Get Lucky" day. Why? My wife will be back from her trip, I will buy her a bottle of vodka, and nature will take its course. Former 5. The last question was going to be "If this Bill makes the Pro Bowl in 2009 it will be the best possible news for our prospects as a team." Trent Edwards was not going to be an eligible answer since he was too obvious as a QB. The answer was going to be D. Bell. That answer became too easy yesterday (Thanks Brandon for screwing up my poll). Demetrius Bell Official question 5. How many sacks will Aaron Maybin record in 2009? Zero

John, you sound like Psycho Ward 86, who has been saying that the Bills are pulling a real life Major League for years. IF so, they're not very good @ it. Hmm...

Tough few weeks, huh? Still, had the OU defense had a clue down the stretch and had the O line learned to block someone, they may still have pulled that one out vs BYU.

Now, now. Everyone has a right to their opinion. I can see where the frustration comes from. For me though, as much as I may not agree w/ some of the things that have gone on lately w/ the Bills, I still am going to have my season tickets and I still plan on attending 'bout half of the regular season games. But, that's my standpoint. By doing so, I don't feel any more superior than someone who doesn't buy season tickets. It's just something I do. By the same token, if someone feels like spending their money would be a waste and decline to do so, it's a free country.

In spite of all the turmoil of late, I'll still be there for the home opener in my season ticket seats. I guess I'm a glutton for punishment, but I just can't quit being a Bills fan.

Such bitterness.

More drama of the negative kind (Walker release) breeds more whining and lamenting of what might have been. Jump on in!

Maybe Matlock episodes?

That would be a neat trick.

Wow. I must've missed the story 'bout Stephens' death. But, I checked a few online sites and saw it for myself. Tragic. He was a good guy and, for a brief period, a very tough back to deal w/. May he rest in peace.
