My choice(s) would be the 64 and 65 AFL Championship games since I was too young to remember them.

I'm right there with you!

I wasn't following him for the entire practice, but I don't think he had any reps during the 5 on 5, 7 on 7, or 11 on 11 yesterday. I think most of his activity was either during individual drills or during ST practice.

After 20+ years of "coaching" for the Bills and surviving numerous changes at the HC spot, he was let go a couple of years ago, and seems to have vanished. Does no other NFL team understand the value of having a Chuck Lester on their staff? Is he hanging around WNY hoping the Bills come to their senses and rehire him? Is he working for the Bills in a diminished capacity? Retired and hanging out at the Erie Basin Marina all summer? Inquiring minds want to know!

Not sure. Just repeating what Murph said.

The only time I noticed him during practice was when he was on the sideline getting re-taped.

John Murphy just addressed these two things on his WGR550 show... 1 - Nix said "no" to bringing back Evans 2 - The Bills have no plans to fill the vacant spot since cutdowns are only a few days away

- On consecutive plays, Choice took a solid hit from Searcy, and then Morrison really lowered the boom on him in the backfield. - Hagan had a couple of nice catches. I wonder if his solid training camp will vault him past Jones into the #2 WR spot? - Young and Thigpen had good and bad moments during 7 on 7. Thigpen had a couple of nice throws down the left sideline, and Young looked okay for the most part, but as soon as I thought he was looking good, he fired a swing pass at the feet of the RB on the very next play. - Gilmore was the first player on the field by at least 15 minutes, and spend some time catching football from the jugs machine. - I did not notice Mario Williams or Mark Anderson. In fact, I had forgotten they were on the team for the entire practice. - Stevie was pretty quiet, but came to life at the end of the practice with some nice grabs. - Dareus had shoulder pads and his helmet on, but was wearing shorts instead of football pants. He seemed to be practicing with the rest of the first team, so I don't know what the story was. - Wannstedt was very animated with the defensive players after practice ended. Not sure if he was upset about their play during the two minute drill or something else, but he was definetely fired up. - Graham looked okay. He seems to be really skinny, even with pads on. A couple non-football notes... - It was hotter than I expected out there. I bet it was close to 85 at the beginning of practice. - Parents who bring their little kids to practice can't seriously expect them to sit in the stands and watch practice. I saw a constant stream of people with kids make their way into the stands, and right back out within 30 minutes. Kids want to eat, drink, and go play in the fan experience. - I miss the days of training camp at Fredonia. Even though, there were no grandstands there, I can remember standing by the fence within a stones throw of Joe Devlin and Ken Jones goofing off during stretching exercises.

Anyone know if the Bills are practicing in pads today?

I feel the same way(bolded part). I was recently talking to a Pittsburgh fan, and stated this exact point. Not exactly something to be proud of as a Bills fan when you know a fan of an opposing team is planning on taking in a game at RWS.

Unless he is really screwed up, his draft stock will still be high come next April. He is that talented.

I'll be her baby and take a ride on her morning train!

Some of the responses to Spags are priceless.

I really hope the Bills pick up a young QB(with at least a little promise) to act as the #3, or to put on the PS. I'm not even sure why Brad Smith is taking QB snaps. He isn't making the team as a QB, and he attempted ONE pass out of the wildcat last year, so why bother.

Toronto has tried multiple times to get the Olympics and failed. Adding Buffalo to it's next proposal isn't going to help their efforts. The political hacks in WNY would only hinder any efforts. I am not sure if a city that doesn't make the Olympic cut gets any constructive criticism afterwards in terms of what they need to do next time around, but I am 100% sure in Toronto's case, that the suggestion was NOT "you need to bring Buffalo into the equation next time around".

Whats the excuse for the same boorish behavior during the regular season when tickets are NOT available for $5 each?

It looked like every Bills player had one of those horse collars on. Just another example of some creative design jerkoff who doesn't understand the KISS principle.

Another example of great creative writing by Spags. So much more enjoyable on a day after a game instead of people at one extreme ready to jump off a cliff, and at the other extreme, diehards who can excuse away any performance preseason or regular season. Keep up the good work Spags!

The problem at RWS is not limited to adults in their early 20's. On a somewhat related note, I've been to 7 or 8 different NFL stadiums to see the Bills play, and the experience for opposing fans at RWS is by far the worst I've seen. It all revolves around the excessive tailgating, and people getting liquored up before they ever enter the stadium. PS While I enjoy a few beverages of choice before the game, I have never been "piss drunk" at RWS, and my visits go back to the stadium opening. I am pretty sure I am in the majority and not the minority in that regard.

I fixed your post.

It was like being in a time machine tonight, and one on one sports never went off the air. Good to have you back Murph
