Yeah, and the red helmets keep us reminded of the winning tradition we have enjoyed the last 10 years?
-
Now those are uniforms! That is exactlty what I want them to look like. I always thought the white helmets looked the classiest....besides....white=snow=Buffalo! Look for them to be a combo of that old style and a touch of new flair (like the Chargers did). Hopefully Buddy had something to do with what they did out west. Thanks for sharing....I hope we get our wish.

Correct...DreReed83 probably did not even read the article. -

This article makes a strong case for the Kelso (Great Gazoo) helmet. http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/page2/story?page=easterbrook/101026_tuesday_morning_quarterback&sportCat=nfl -
denial.....it's not just for breakfast anymore i agree with darth

I'm sorry....but I still will never grasp the audacity of 0-5 Bills fans who hate on the Jets for having more success. One play? Remember "the Comeback"? When Beebe stepped out of bounds before scoring a TD? "Ha!" Silly....just downright silly. The Jets are better.....light years better than the Bills right now......deal with it.

interesting....watch this video with Josh Cribbs, the other recipient of "evil" James Harrsion's hits..... About the hit on him, and many helmet to helmet hits, he says exactly what I said about the hit on Massaquoi. A LOT OF TIMES, a pleayer preparing to hit another player does not know where the recipient's head is going to be at time of impact.....is he staying straight up, making a cut, or will he LOWER his own head? http://espn.go.com/video/clip?id=5715915

it has nothing to do with the "negative vibes" of Bills Fans. But it has everything to do with this: http://forums.twobillsdrive.com/topic/121918-bills-situation-beyond-hope/ and as for fond Bills memories, I posted one earlier titled Buffalo vs. San Fran

Arguably one of the best games I ever watched over the years. This is a great summary video. 3 things I loved most about this game: 1. Thurman was the ultimate offensive weapon in his prime 2. Kelly knew how to use a TE. Pete was not known as a huge receiving threat in college, although he was well rounded. But look at how awesome a smart QB like Kelly can make a TE with basically no speed look. 3. Marv's call to go for it on 4th and 4. enjoy http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mgw6wTONA4Y

watch the hit against Massaquoi over and over again. The announcer says he was "defenseless....looking for the football". B/S....this guy cathces the ball (it's in his hnads anyway) and Harison is trying to time the hit to "seperate" the player from the ball. Look at where the WR's body is when the ball touches his hands.....look at where Harrison is and the position he is taking at that time (preparing to launch).....the WR turns towards him and begins LOWERING his body. Harrison is alread in launch mode! This is not defenseless. And if it is than tough sh*t. Harrison is supposed to recognize this and ease up until the WR can turn around, see him, prepare for the hit? If this is the course of action they expect the defenders to take, than guess what....that WR gets a completion and tackled. Big difference. You gotta look at the plays agsin...the speed of the game does not make it possible to adjust the long taught hitting techniques employed by NFL players.

You beat me to it, because I was going to say the exact same thing. He is spot on and i applaud him calling out the hypocrisy of the NFL moneymakers. They can't have it both ways. James Harrison nails people and gets DPOY award. The NFL promotes all this, we eat it up b/c face it, we love seeing intense hits. They feed this style into the players when they are in HS and they look for that killer instinct in college. They draft, make stars of these guys, and they reward them. He lays out 2 Browns in one game, they sold pics of the hits on their website. Then they turn around and steal money from the guy??? They made their bucks on both sides. I'm glad Schlereth spoke up. He is not sitting there trying to ride the fence and please fans and the NFL (or NHL as he puts it). He blasted the league that pays his checks pretty much. He's right in everything he said. Lets not also forget "Jacked Up!" Remember that? Yeah, we loved it...I did, I know that....and so did the NFL bean counters. Imagine this in Hank Williams Jr's voice: "Are you ready for some Flag Footbaaaaalllllll???"

Thanks John, I have been waiting to see if this guy would talk to anyone in the media. That being said, his words only prove what many of us already knew; he doesn't have a clue what's going on, he doesn't care much, and he does not let his staff do their jobs in the process. He talks about it taking 3 years and that the fans should have P&P like they are children who have no clue about professional football? This 3 year period that he says he "has been saying all along" didn't happen to be heard about when they upped the ticket prices yet again. What a slap in the collective face of all Bills fans. He's sending Buddy out now to go scout QB's????? The Bills should already have more info on more college QB's than any other team in the league. After all, they "knew" none of the other QB's after Bradford was worth picking in rounds 1 - 6. When he chuckled and said the fans shouldn't worry about him dying, well, Mr Wilson, it's not so much your death that worries them, it's what happens to the team in Buffalo as a result of it.

You both are kidding right? The TE's we have on this team are not cutting it and it's been their craft through college and now the pros. So what makes you think Arrant Maybe might make a good TE? His "body, size, and athleticism"? What in the Wide World of Sports are some of you thinking? To be a TE, you need to be able to run routes, shed db's and lb's, have good hands (you know, for catching and stuff), block oncoming defenders (the guy can't even get around slower offensive linemen!), and be unselfish enough to stick your nose in and do some real dirty work. This is one first round draft pick you cut your losses with. Trade him for ANYTHING. I'm sure someone will take a shot if they only had to part with some future picks.....either that, or involve him in a package deal. A first round pick that can't even make ST's? He spends most of his time on the bench, what good is he doing you anyway? That would be a huge statement for a new regime looking to infuse their identity into their team.
