Is there anything about the Bills that you like? Has there ever been anything about the Bills that you like? You don't let player walk away in free agency. They are in the open market and some want to move for a variety of reasons.

You picked some inane time period for some reason. But I'll play along. Levy still fits. Coughlin with Jacksonville and the Giants. Gibbs. The point is that successful teams get s HC and front office that have a philosophy of play, and they then are diligent in getting the right players and right locker room mentality to carry out the plan. That is a timeless way of building a winning organization, whether it be football or a widget factory. I take it coaching and management in general isn't your strong point.

Too broad perhaps. I know I don't. Just do it professionally.

The sad thing is when he'd write about non-Bills/Sabres stuff he was pretty good. He just couldn't control his nonsense with the pro teams.

What you absolutely refuse to understand is that it is not being critical, it is the irritating, smug, self-important attitude of Sullivan that is the issue. The Bills were bad to terrible back in the day and guys like Felser and Kelly would roast them. But they did not resort to the sarcastic nonsense and smugness and insulting tone of your boy. You clearly like the guy. Clearly some don't. And people like me who don't are not going to change their mind because you say he should.

No one has an issue with columnists being critical in my opinion. They do have a problem with criticism being overly snarky and resorting to childish personal insult. That was Sullivan to me. I have read his stuff about the Bills and Sabres, I have read and heard him be insulting to anyone who dared to disagree with him. So I have no desire to listen any more to him or read any more from him about the Bills.

If Sullivan thinks he's going to be real popular and make a good living at this new gig, I think he's mistaken.

And I read an article on si.com yesterday that the young CBs the Eagles have are good enough to where they can release Darby, so there you go. I got ripped by some for posting a thread last week asking why some folks are here is they can't say anything good about the team. This guy is Exhibit A.

I wish I knew how to find and post things from movies etc. But I think of the scene in Animal House with Otter and one of the sorority girls when she looks at Otter and says: Otter, you're weren't that good. jerry, you weren't that good.

Fielder could write negative things about the Bills without. resorting to personal attacks and cheap shots. Sullivan can't. He used to have a column where he'd address fans' questions and if he didn't like something he just write back childish insults. I liked some of his work like when he'd write about golf or the Olympics. When it came to the Buffalo sports teams he'd come across as petulant and insulting, and inconsistent. He'd be critical if the Bills didn't do X, then if they did do X he'd blast them for doing so. Felser was the epitome of a good columnist. Jerry, you're no Larry.

Given that they made the playoffs in their first year I don't get your point. But to answer your question Lombardi, Landry, Noll, Levy.

Two sides to the story. We should have paid him. He should have come to camp and talked as Russ requested and to get his injury evaluated. Should have been handled better all the way around.

The picture painted is disturbing, and Congress needs to exert its authority and figure out what is going on over at the White House. But whomever wrote this to me is a coward; if you have that much concern for the country then do the honorable thing and resign then go to Congress and tell them what is going on. You can't have this kind of behavior no matter who occupies the office.

That's accurate if I recall correctly. I think Ralph initially wanted Miami, and when that didn't work it was Buffalo, Louisville, and one other city I can't remember. When Ralph visited the owner of the Courier-Express sold him in Buffalo.

Oh yeah. Caught a pass from Jack during autograph day once.

I don't know why they didn't fill in the blank

I wish all of you here could have experienced the AFL days and the Rockpile. Great memories.

I don't think Lamar was the issue. It was more that he could not get guarantees to use the Orange Bowl.

You play to win

0%.

Glad to see some linemen in there

Much more discriminating in my old age. But when I was in my teen years, on Wednesday nights in the summer at Uncle Sam's it was penny a beer and dime a shot. You could drink anything for a penny a glass back then.

I think if I were a DC planning against us I'd be concerned with Benjamin. His size dictates double coverage.

Only time I was not real excited about the start of the season was a couple years around '70. You knew even with OJ they'd stink. And right before Polian and Marv, that year or two was not as hopeful. This year? Very excited! Excited to see Edmunds, see what Daboll brings, if and when Allen takes over. I think they're 6-0 but still very excited, because last year tells me we have a shot at the playoffs.

If he doesn't have the mentality McD wants it will be a very short visit I'd imagine.
