As long as we are dealing in fantasy: The 3 Bills, to coach the Bills. HC: Bill Parcells in his prime DC: Bill Belichick OC: Bill Walsh

I heard Marcell Dareus went to Dinosaur BBQ and tried to order a dinosaur for lunch. He was apparently dismayed to hear they were not actually on the menu, and in fact, have been extinct for quite some time.

Sully is not a football expert and his pessimistic approach rubs a lot of people the wrong way. But he is a heck of a good writer, if you judge his writing on its own merits.

Most successful Bills play ever: The fake run over the top on the goal line followed by the pass to Butch Rolle who would sneak off the line of scrimmage and end up, always, wide open in the end zone. That play worked for 6 so many times it's ridiculous.

Couldn't help but think of this:

It's been dead for a very long time now.

I hear he can work magic with a can of Campbell's chunky soup.

Marcel thought to himself: "I should wear a whole bunch of yellow gold, and then put on one of those yacht caps. Like the Skipper wore on Gilligan's Island, only in white. That's a good look." Stick to playing football, Marcel.

If we can't seize opportunity and beat a Brady-less Pats team, well, it ain't gonna bode well for our season. Game is crucial. Probably quite a bit.

This thing is like a piece of found art, and likely to only appreciate in value as time rolls forward, at least among Bills fans.

You're right. We haven't been God awful. We've been slightly better than God awful, but not quite mediocre.

I hate the "break the plane" of the goal line rule for a TD. There are many plays where it almost becomes impossible to defend. You get the big pile up on the goal line, the ball carrier jumps up in the air, sticks his arms out over the goal line, is met by 3 or 4 defenders...and he ends up lying on the 3 yard line. TD! bull ****.

I was going to say him too.

This is an omen. The Sabres, my friends, are going to win the Superbowl! YES!

I am no Rex fan, but it has to be said that Brady was as confused/frustrated in that game as I have seen him in a long, long time.

Holy crap. You are demonstrating the power to turn back time.

The real money in NFL ownership is not annual profit, but selling a team at a price way higher than you bought it at. That's why the ownership group loves Pegula. He overpaid for the team and provided a high comparable selling price for future sales.

My favorite Bill is probably Kent Hull. He was polite, and a true professional. He was outstanding at his position, a leader, a technician, a warrior. He was huge and yet lean and in shape in a way current offensive linemen are not, and he came across first and foremost as a gentle giant of a farm boy from Mississippi.

I still say Thurman is on the short list of what I'd call "greatest offensive weapons" of all time.

Yep.

Look on the bright side. The last time the Cubs won the World Series, Teddy Roosevelt was President, World War ONE was still six years in the future, and the average worker earned between $200 and $400 per year. Now THAT is something to B word about.

If you sound convincing, people will believe you. Rex's strategy is genius. He said: "Being ranked 4th last year was a disappointment with this talent; we're going to be No. 1 in the league this year, no doubt." Or words to that effect. That all sounds a lot better than "I'm going to take a great defense and make it below average. Confusion, lack of effort, and league leading, undisciplined, stupid penalties will be the hallmarks of my stamp on this team!"

Always good to hear Diamond Dave. I'm confident Tyrod is going to improve this year.

I agree with that.

As long as Russ sticks to marketing and doesn't pretend to know how to run a football team, it's OK. His role within the organization, too, should not be compared to previous ownership.
