Formerly Allan in MD

1. Formation of the AFL was announced and Ralph Wilson, bless his soul, gave us/me a team. 2. That they represent a great but often disrespected city, sometimes (though not often enough) making us proud of them and the city. 3. That's easy: Frank Reich "writes" the surreal "Death to the Oilers" script.

Certain posters appear rather clueless as well.

Hope he plays with that passion.

All long time Bills fans may become recovering alcoholics at some point in time.

What we needn't do is neglect fixing massive holes in the roster by drafting another quarterback high. The key to a standout offense is, generally, the offensive line. The Bills haven't bought into that concept in quite some time. A quarterback, even one that wouldn't normally function well when pressured, can be a star behind a solid line. And it makes all the difference for running backs when there's a hole or even a sliver to squirm through, unless your name is Jim Brown. Of course you need good receivers as well. But none of it comes together without that stout front. So Beane drafts a potentially franchise quarterback but paper tapes a seriously broken line with mediocrities such as Newhouse. Of course his rookie quarterback gets injured early on. But Allen needn't have been thrown to the wolves had Beane not made another bad decision, that's trading McCarron BEFORE determining if Peterman was no longer an interception machine in regular season games. Beane's mistakes have been serious. We won't be Carolina until we figure out how to be. Yes, it will take time, but it'll also take sound decision making.

After the game, make sure you go to McDonalds.

Plus one. Agreed.

Patience? Being a die hard Bills fan since day one makes that difficult. It actually kinda makes one numb.

About time our farm team persona with the Pats was reversed.

Not sure they had video review at that time.

Amen!

Can we please find an offensive lineman or two who can play.

Rentals, when you need a lot more? Nope!

Huh?

Look at it this way: if you can overcome the depression of being a long time Bills fan, you'll be a much stronger person. I've become a very strong individual having been a Bills fan since year one.

Milano, Poyer, Johnson, the punter, and Phillips.

Strange title for a strange thread. It'll take a lot more than this trade, which won't happen no matter how one huffs and puffs it, to "transform the entire Bills organization."

And no protection in front of him. Did we even scout the Redskin game. Everyone in DC was talking about GB's weak run defense last week.

Can't buy me love.

McCain turned out fine after being tortured. Hopefully, Allen will do likewise. Allen's make-up suggests he'll pull it off. The question is: will management assist him sufficiently?

Tears on my pillow.

OL

Foster and Lee?

Use a high draft picks, for a change, on stud offensive linemen and/or sign some quality free agent linemen, for a change."

The same can be said about our very offensive line, aka "what just ran by me" and "what's a hole for Shady."
