Right? I remember being so pissed when they changed them in 1984. Never really liked them...but they had their best era since the merger, with those nasty things. But now I wouldn't mind seeing them for a game or two...they are not as bad as Sabres slugs. Personally, the look the Bills have right now is my favorite.

Best album I have heard in a few years...a masterpiece. It has been in constant rotation for me, for nearly a year...

So sorry to hear this.

Hey thanks guys! Definitely a memorable birthday...quarantine and "working" from home!

And the other with the Bears. Personally, I think Winston is really talented...but there is no question, his interceptions are a problem. On the field, I think of him as a more physically gifted Fitz. And, he can give you some great play, but you just never know when that fatal mistake is going to happen. I really think some coach will take a chance on him. His stats last season were eye-popping...including the 30 interceptions.

Only player from that list I could see them having any interest in is Bradham.

Love Lee Hazelwood!

He also took scores of great photos documenting the short history of the Buffalo Braves.

Everything is a hoax.

I saw them last summer in Houston (my 12th time since 1978), and they were still pretty damn good. Yeah, they are old, but they aren't dead. Every time I see them, I assume it will be the last time...but it looks like I have an Austin and Buffalo show in my future. My only real complaint about their shows is that with a catalog of close to 500 songs, it would be great to see them dig a little deeper for some deeper cuts. Satisfaction, Honky Tonk Woman and Jumping Jack Flash are amazing songs...but I would be fine if they didn't do them every time I see them. GIve me Time Waits For No One, or Slave...so many great songs....why limit it to pretty much the same 23-25 songs every night?

The Pegulas have their issues, but it isn't from lack of trying... Ralph was just unwilling to spend at various times in the teams history....his miserly ways pretty much ended the "talking proud" era of Bills football with a whimper.... all in all I appreciate them both. I do believe, at some point the Pegulas will get things right. They just need to hire the right people.

In his prime he was really good, but yes, we definitely got him at the end. He had a great arm, and made some amazing plays with just his arm...but he would have needed the 90's Cowboys O-line to be effective once he hit the wall. He didn't fare well with Dallas after his time with us. Those first 8 games though...he really was spectacular. That OT win over the Vikings was maybe the best passing performance I ever saw for a Bills QB, other than, maybe Fergy going for 450 in Miami 1983.

It was a dramatic descent.

Didn;t work out well, in the end, but I swear, his first 8 games as a Bill may be the best stretch of QB play we have ever seen by a Bills QB in the last 45 years or....even counting Kelly.

Mario Williams was pretty great for us, until his last season. Honestly, though ultimately they didn't win anything while he was in Buffalo, I consider that signing as one of the rare times we have "overpayed" for a player, and he met expectations. During his final season, I was positive his lack of production was the result of Ryans poor coaching...lie he was wasted. The fact that he did nothing the next season, in Miami, now makes me think he just got old. Can't hold that against him.

Fred Smerlas, Richie Incognito and Doug Flutie...all were pretty decent players for us, but really didn't like any of them. If we are including non-players, gotta go with Rex Ryan and Dick Jauron. Rex was just a clown, and Jauron almost single-handidly made me hate watching the Bills...almost. Been following the Bills every week since 1972, so I have seen some putrid Bills teams. Jaurons squads may not have been the very worst, but they were the most miserable to watch. I hated the "Jauron era".

I would bet Andy Reid dresses McCoy for the Super Bowl, out of respect for their long relationship. If they are winning, no doubt he gets a carry or two.

bull####.

I know what you mean, and I don't disagree....but I have to say, I do miss Monday Night Football being "can't miss tv". The last few years (though ratings were apparently up this year), I just don't get too excited about it anymore, unless it is a particularly interesting (or Bills-centric) matchup. At one time, I would never miss a Monday Night Football game...now it is almost as bad as those Thursday Night games.

Funny, this past summer I went to see the Rolling Stones, for the 20-something time...it was a great show, but one weird thing I noticed was that Keith Richards and Ron Wood were not smoking...I thought "good for them...old geezers trying to get healthy in their old age". After some reading, I came to find out that they didn't smoke on stage, because of all of the fines, and threatened legal action that was threatened them from previous tours.

Funny thing is, if Sammy had never played for the Bills, and had the exact career elsewhere, we would think it was a solid signing to bring him in to Buffalo, at the right price.

It may have been slight, and I don't have any fancy stats to back it up, but I really think over the last month of the season he did show some improvement on the deep ball. I felt the first part of the season, his deep passes were thrown with the intent, mainly, of not getting picked off. Most were just absurdly off target...almost gave me flashes of EJ Manuel. I felt his confidence started growing, around the time of that Dallas game, and more of deep passes were catchable. And it carried on the rest of the season...unfortunately, because of the issues early on, I don't think they wanted to give him a lot more opportunities.

He is a great receiver when healthy...but his injury history scares me. He has missed 29 games in 4 years. Only played in 9 games the last 2 seasons And he will be 32 by the time next season starts. Definitely interested, but not as interested as I might have been 3 years ago .
