  1. I'd rather have Loadholt at RT and move somebody else back inside.
  2. in 1965 KC Chief Mack Lee Hill died shortly after the game in which Mike Stratton put a terrific hit on him at the Rockpile. He didn't die on the field, but did die of complications during surgery the day after the game, as I recall. I was in attendance and remember hearing the news on Monday, but otherwise cannot remember the circumstances.
  3. Who in their right mind would trade for any Bills' 1st round pick? That pick is always a bust, or close to it. It's just a jinxed pick.
  4. I have to nominate Dennis Shaw at QB, Bobby Barnett at RB, Gary Bugenhagen at G and Mack Yoho at K. Especially Shaw and Barnett who had shown so very much promise their rookie years, and then nothing, nada, zip.
  5. What...is it a 3 minute infomercial? "Help, I've fallen and I can't reach my wallet!"
  6. Manti Te'o is extremely underwhelming. Kind of reminds me of Kelvin Sheppard, doesn't he?
  7. Maybe he'll bring Jake back to Buffalo to kickoff.
  8. I'm just glad he doesn't have 3 feet.

  10. You are just getting this message now? Try another service provider.
  11. Interesting that Ralph actually owns the locker room, whether or not the players admit that. As owner he can do as he pleases and if the team quits because they don't like their boss' decision, then so be it. I am so very tired of reasoning why we keep losing. Its just that we do that pisses me off.
  12. What an enlightening piece of news. I would have never guessed it. All along I figured Fitz was the 2nd coming of Daryl "The Mad Bomber" Lamonica.
  13. I think what WEO is saying is that Fitz will be just good enough to save the jobs of the coaching staff and maybe even the management. That's always been the problem around here. The Bills are just good enough to squeek by with what we already have. Sad, but true.
  14. Since we all know that nobody's getting fired, what would be your "real" plan? With the rules of the new CBA, you can't work the players too hard which is exactly why we're so friggin soft. This is also the reason we're seeing so many injuries across the league. The teams can't demand accountability because the CBA won't allow for any repercussions for playing poorly, making mistakes, or just flat-out laying down. The only way you can get results is by turning to veteran players to step-up and lead. So, if I were Chan, I would pull aside the player who is "the heart & soul of this team", namely Fred Jackson. I would empower FJ to take it upon himself to kick some sense into the rest of this team. I might even let him run a practice without coaching. I'd ask him to push the guys until they drop. The union can't file a grievance against their own now, can they? I would keep this up until things turn around. This, my friend, is the only way things will change IMO.
  15. Hank Bullough is available and is only 78 years old. Kay Stephenson is available, but is a bit young at a mere 67.
  16. Maybe George Edwards is available. Why do you think the answer to everything is to "fire [insert name here]"? Who's gonna replace them? You? Just enjoy what they give you. After all, we did play rather well in the 2nd quarter. Nothing else is gonna change with this ownership and management group.
  17. BTW, how's that new Peace Bridge project coming along?
  18. This is really a tough one for me to understand. I am in total agreement that it is every fan's right and obligation to express themselves based on the on-field performance. If you go to a concert and the band sucks you don't give them a standing ovation. However, Fitz is a really good guy. He has upside. There are clearly things he can do that prototypical QBs cannot always get done. He has physical limitations though. That is abundantly evident. Right now, Fitz is the person we brought to the dance. So, do you dance with him or sit on the sidelines sulking? I agree with the OP that we might choose to give him at least a little support and hope we can get enough from him to allow the rest of the team to carry us. If and when we have an alternative, we can call for a change. I was sitting in the rockpile every week booing Jack Kemp and calling for Lamonica. But today, I am not going to boo Fitzy and call for the alternative which is clearly much worse.
  19. The main reason for the acquisition of Tavares Jackson is that he said he LIKES playing on FieldTurf.
  20. Buddy's secret plan has been revealed!!! The opponent can't figure out who they're supposed to cover and BINGO... we score. I can see it now. Rex says "cover Jackson" and the D can't figure out which Jackson to cover; or he says "block Williams" and their OL hesitates because there are three Williams on the field. BINGO again. SACK!
  21. We could trade CJ, McKelvin, Kelsey, Fitz, and throw in Russ Brandon for Watson. This is elementary, my dear.
  22. If the Bills had picked Decastro most of you guys would be screaming that it was a horrible pick because he is obviously "injury-prone." But because he was picked by the Steelers, it was likely the fieldturf at the Ralph and it is so sad and unfortunate. WTF?????
