I would think that while the game was going on, they would want to check out their team and the sight lines from their seats. Wouldn't you think that they would check out the stadium BEFORE the game? I don't feel superior, I was just making an observation, and that is...there were a lot of empty seats during the first half when the cameras panned the stadium. PS What do the state of affairs in Buffalo have to do with this?

Damn...I only asked if anyone had been to the restaurants listed above, but I hope you feel better now. PS I'm not sure why you call it a rathole? It is by far the most successful mall in the area. Also, the Thruway Mall was already dying when the Galleria opened.

Glad to help!

Peppers was covering a WR? I dont' care if Peppers stood there and picked his nose for 3 seconds, when he takes off for the QB, somebody better be there to block him. There should never be a scenario where the opposing teams best pass rusher goes unblocked. If there is, we better throw that play out of the playbook!

I noticed that all of Preston's time in the game last night was spent at OG and I believe when Fowler wasn't in there, that Geisinger was in at OC. On the bb.com depth chart, it doesn't even list Preston at OC. I assumed that he would be the backup center come opening day, but it doesn't even look like he is playing the position. Has anyone at training camp noticed if he has taken any snaps at OC?

For those who don't live in WNY anymore, the Galleria is adding a half dozen new restaurants as part of a large expansion. Except for the Cheescake Factory, I have never heard of any of them. Any comments... "Six high-profile restaurants, all newcomers to upstate New York, are being added to the mall as part of a $60 million expansion. The new restaurants are..." Cheesecake Factory Hyde Park Steakhouse Bravo! Cucina Italiana The Melting Pot Abuelo's Mexican Food Embassy Bar Louie. http://buffalonews.com/editorial/20060813/1024479.asp

I'll sum it up in one sentence like I did in another thread...JP is more than likely going to start and if Nall can show anything before the final cutdown, Holcomb may not even make the roster.

You have a brand new state of the art domed stadium. You don't have to be in 110 degree heat. Yet everytime the crowd was panned in the first half, I saw empty seats everywhere. Wouldn't you think that the fans would be excited to see the new stadium? I know that all 8 of their home games are sold out, but the fact that you wouldn't want to be there for the very first game played is pitiful.

I have no problem with leaving JP in the game for an extended period, but at least put in OL who are going to be on the roster this year.

YES...The comeback continues!... http://buffalonews.com/editorial/20060813/1043856.asp Does beating some tomato can with a 9-28 record at an Arkansas fairgrounds even warrant being in the news?

1. Peters looked terrible. He went to the inside on one play(mental error??) and Peppers went in untouched on KH. On the next series, he dragged down Peppers and got called for holding(referee called out the wrong number). The signing was a good one, but he has a long way to go. 2. K. Williams made some very good plays and I also thought Denney looked good. I still believe there is a chance that Denney could end up starting in place of Kelsay. 3. McGee did not look good, but if memory serves me right, he was picked on at times last year also. He can make the big play, but appears to need to develop some consistency to his game. 4. Aiken was the only receiver to make his presence known in the battle for the 3,4 & 5 spots on the depth chart. 5. Holcomb is just pitiful. Assuming JP will be the starter and if Nall can show anything before the final cutdown, I'd seriously consider cutting Holcomb and bringing in a young QB as the #3. THERE IS NO UPSIDE IN HOLCOMB'S GAME!. 6. WTF was Losman doing in the game with a bunch of OL who won't even be on the roster come the start of the season. He was lucky not to be seriously hurt. Not very smart Jauron. 7. Gates looked good and Thomas was okay. Assuming WM can handle being the 3rd down back, Shaud Williams may not make it. 8. Ricard and Shelton should be an interesting battle. I've never been a big Shelton fan and I think his blocking is very overrated. Ricard showed some nice hands last night and I don't think it would take much for him to win the job. 9. Greer made a couple of nice plays and will continue to be either the nickel or dime back. 10. Whitner looked okay considering he has only been in camp for a week and missed almost all of the OTA's. His hitting ability seems to be up to par for a NFL SS. I didn't notice much out of McCargo except to see him chasing after the play several times.

Andre Reed is going to have a tough time getting in the HoF and if that is the case, Moulds doesn't even come close to even be discussed.

Because every play that Whitner is on the field for, is one more nail in Wire's coffin.

Are "Sabres dollars" and "Sabres bucks"(which can be used for concessions and the gift shop) one in the same?

The only thing I know about the CFL is that this former St. Joe's grad is making quite the name for himself... http://www.cfl.ca/index.php?module=roster&...play&ros_id=408

What??? Aren't you impressed with Kelsay's "High Motor"? I seriously believe that you may see Denney starting by mid-season if Kelsay doesn't start to show some productivity. I'm not sure I believe what I just wrote.

He is fighting on Saturday at a county fairgrounds in Arkansas. Just give it up already. The chance for the big payday has come and gone. http://buffalonews.com/editorial/20060810/1025162.asp

That is certainly a way around it.

Amen. No matter what anybody posts here, come the regular season everybody wants to see the Bills win.

I'll sum up my feelings about Captain Dump-off very simply...he makes me wish Travis Brown was a Bill again.

Favorite PLAYER...Marv Levy??

What makes you believe that any of these WR's are good enough to be a #3 on all other NFL teams when except for Davis, none of them have ever filled that role in the NFL? I don't know what Aiken, Wilson or Smith have done with the Bills that led you to this opinion?

For the last 3 years while Posey was for the most part invisible, all I heard was that "he was doing what the coaches asked him to do in that scheme". I've never heard of a scheme where you are almost NEVER involved in the play. Even by accident, he should have made a play now and then. I guess Jauron had a different impression of his play. Good-bye and good riddance.

During his brief stint on 92.9 or another FM station here in Buffalo, he was going through chemo. Shortly after that, the program was dropped. How is he doing now?

Are you talking about the city or the suburbs? All you have to do is look at the city school system and you would know that it is NOT a great place to raise kids. Even without kids, there are only a few areas of the city worth living in. The rest are a joke.
