    Holy crap. There's no need to be nasty and condescending. My goodness.

     

    The point remains that it's silly for branches of the United States military to belittle each other. We are all on the same team. This has nothing to do with my Bills knowledge or the fact that I had a blog about the Bills... seriously? And just because I'm asking doesn't mean I don't have research skills. My god. I work 55 hours a week and I have a toddler to look after... My apologies if I don't have the time to spend hours pouring over material before I can ask a question on a message board. My god.

     

    It's friendly competition. Have you played sports, ever? Like at a decent level. I'm going to assume no.

    Not on you Chandler#81, I sometimes get down hard on millennials so it was my "mea culpa." But hell yes, history is not taught in schools today in many ways leading to the repeat of past mistakes!

     

    You mean like the environment of overt nationalism, isolationism, and protectionist policies the millenials are responsible for the country moving towards? 

     

    Some of the posts are just ridiculous characterizations being asserted by a poster's own bias.

     

    Anyways, I watched a documentary that was filmed within the last decade where veterans of D-Day are flown over to Normandy.

     

    To watch their interactions with the people of Normandy as well as how grateful to all those who participated is quite amazing. Toddlers are instilled on what others gave for them that day. The cemetary is kept in pristine condition. A lot of the locals repeated, they fought not to conquer but for our freedom. It was a pretty touching documentary.

    well, ROR was not here for the tank..so he construction of the roster was meant to win. Now you can argue the roster stunk, i tend to think the coach stunk... 

     

    Having said that, i am fine with the trade. As i have mentioned 1000 times..go back in the Sabres archived thread and look at most peoples posts from October and November. Blues were fighting in practice, in DFL in the NHL and Sabres were tied for 1st overall, and we all were saying ROR kills a room and Sabres are way better off without him.

     

    New coach comes in and voila'..

     

    the argument prolly should be framed ROR for Housley...

     

    They won the November trophy... Yay.

     

    I don't even follow hockey much but this post is ridiculous. They aren't better with out him, not in anyway.

    That was me that dig up His net worth of 12 million 

     

    a 2 million dollar car for him is ludicrous 

     

    I'm sure he has plenty coming from 30 rock royalties. 

     

    But let's all go on with this jealous hating.

     

    The dude was almost killed a couple years ago and you're hating on his spending.

     

    Bell gets stolen from and you cheer on the robbers. 

     

    The picture has been painted. It's not a good one.

    The real problem is, what if he doesn’t? Even if he turns into an above average QB that is the money he will command. Then you have two bad options. Let him walk and try to find another QB or overpay for an above average one. As us Bills fans know, finding even average QB play is tough. 

     

    It's a tough decision. If there is a doubt I hope they plan for it over the next few years.

     

    Miami has wasted like 10 years because of Tannehill. If he's on the border of a franchise QB like him I hope they draft some and just cut ties if the new contract is costly.

     

    Hopefully that debate never has to come along.

  6. I like the Sills and Johnson picks. If Johnson sticks around I can see him really becoming a Buffalo guy from how I know he was at the U.

     

    Played through injuries, good leader. If he makes it here and the city embraces him as I think he would I can see him really being a Buffalo guy. I'm speaking in cliches I hate, but it's honestly what I think.

    When you were kids?

     

    Our team was stacked with Williams’s 5 years ago lol not like it was 40 hahah

     

    youd still be a kid !

     

    Oh this was before that. It was like 04 or around that time. Probably a little later. I think Mario was a rookie.

     

    Mike Williams, the one who busted after missing a year when Maurice Clarett had that lawsuit with the NFL about the age requirement I think was in it.

    Didn’t Dontae Whitner get a lot of jewelry stolen when he was playing a game for the Bills? 

     

     

    I don't recall whitner. Could have missed it. It kind of sounds familiar now that you mention it.

     

    I remember Woods house in LA getting robbed while they played I believe the Vikings on a Thursday night last year.

    I really don’t know anything about Jones, but it seems like Giants fans are just in a complain about anything mood... probably justifiable.

     

    They appear to be a disaster. I'm not sure how that glorified gym teacher still has a job.

     

    I've had my criticisms but I don't know how Beane and McDermott seem so much more competent coming up under him. 

     

    Maybe it's like one of those things where you have a boss or parent who has some glaring short comings and refuses to acknowledge them so you never repeat the same mistakes.

    It's not that deep man . I think most just dislike the Jests and want to see their new toy malfunction asap

     

    Maybe you're right. I don't want him to play well against us at all. But I've always liked le'veon. I feel like he has gotten some hate on here for his decision since last year.

     

    I think it was the wrong one, but it is his decision to make.

     

    I hear ya, perhaps I'm way off the mark. My bad.

  11. I'm honestly confused by the morality clique in here cheering on a robbery of a half a mil on a guy they don't know. The worst we know he has done was blaze up before a preseason game flight.

     

    Other than that, the guy has managed his career the way he wanted to. It's his life and he wasn't a Bill when he did it. The hate is nonsensical. 

     

    Yea, he looks dumb, for first, the 500k spent on jewelry and trusting two people who are evidently way worse than him.

     

    But some idiot said you go girls.

     

    I could dirty this thread up and take conservatives down the path of personal liberty and all that corny ***** they say.

     

    I could also take it down the race path, because I honestly have no clue why a guy who wasn't under contract for Pittsburgh refused to sign the franchise tag, because it is his choice to not sign the contract is hated so much. 

     

    Now it makes sense, it's the pro-choice element? 

     

    I hope the dude gets his jewelry back, sells it and invests. But then again, should most of you be big on gold? The commercial on fox news tells me it's always valuable. You get a way better return on investment than the 10% a decade the stock.

     

    You should all buy gold.

    I'm assuming he wasn't making much with this position , financially at least his wife will rake in much more $$ but ya I'd love to have that job. Man I'd prefer a bunch of posters on here

     

    I don't think it really is a great gig. I think it is good in terms of potential exposure for a writer. However, I don't think it does much for them unless they are covering New York, Chicago, LA, Dallas and that's about it. Probably philly too. Those markets will get you a lot of calls. 

     

    Buffalo, not so much. Whoever is covering Cleveland better take advantage of this year lol.

    Total yards and championships.  It IS a stat.  The ONLY stat that matters to be quite frank. But be happy with the stats that no one will remember except a few Bill fans 

     

    i remember how our season ended.  Giving up 26 points and 130 rushing yards to the lowly raiders 

     

    You keep moving the goal posts because your point is stupid.

    2 hours ago, Stank_Nasty said:

    This is horribly inaccurate. 

     

    That defense was 4th in points against, and 4th in total yds allowed. Not to mention 3rd in takeaways and 1st in 3rd down %. 

     

    Good lord dude. 

     

    Whaley built it. Nothing good happened between Kelly and McDermott to some clowns.

    We would all be better off if reporters took a long vacation between the draft and training camp.

     

    I think you should take a vacation.

    Our cornerbacks and secondary looks to be second to none. Teams may have a better 1-2 punch at corner but I’ll take our entire unit over anyone’s 

     

    whens the last time you you could say that about a Bills unit league wide?

    Holding Aaron Rodgers and Manning in back to back weeks without any touchdowns.

     

    A 130 effin yards and 26 points? Saint dog and that douche should have done something but Fred was the only one who cared on that side of the ball. 

     

    Dareus also was hurt early in his best year of his career.

     

    If you'd like to actually discuss the game I'd be more than happy. Go Google some more crap.

    OU (Ohio university that is) came in to Happy Valley and beat Penn state a few years back. That said, it is one of the most difficult places to play in the country at night if the home crowd is into it. 

     

    Lol maybe in the 80's. Penn State is trash. They'll still probably win though.

     

    How many times has the Ralph been called difficult and they get rolled through? Talent wins.

    I think if you're looking for them to win this season, you might have the wrong mindset. I think absolute best case we have a 2016-esque season. If this team ends up being good I don't see them ready to really compete until 2021, or year 5 of the rebuild. As of today the only star we have in their prime is White. Hopefully a couple come into that role this year, including Allen, Edmunds and one of Zay or Foster. We also need some of the new faces to flash that potential. If we get several, we could accelerate the close of the rebuild by next year, but I think 2 more years is more realistic.

     

    A 5 year rebuild is ridiculous.

    C'mon bro, that's being a bit over the top to say the least. Your reference to a long-defunct USFL franchise (since 1985??) proves that. Jim left his health in terms of his back, knees, ankles, heaven knows what else, on the field for this franchise during a time when it was cool to tee off on QB's after the play like rag dolls, and never complained about that (yes I realize he was paid for that, but compared to many of today's NFL players, it was chump change). He's adopted Buffalo as his hometown, unlike most other players who bolt for warmer climes as soon as the last whistle sounds, and oh yeah, has raised incredible amounts of money for charitable causes in the Western NY area...continues to host his camps for kids every year, among so many other contributions to Buffalo, but I digress. The point is, it's unfair of you to take potshots at one of the few greats from our franchise past who's actually worth the ink to say that about. I know you're better than this. Prove me right.  

     

    No I appreciate his charitable efforts and as I said I loved him as a player as kid.

     

    I've just heard too many stories and seen him firsthand and was left underwhelmed. 

     

    Like I said in my previous post, I didn't want to meet him because of the status I held him in. My dad who met him and said he was an ass still loves him. I'm just not as forgiving at this point. Maybe I'll mature to that point.

     

    He's loved every QB, said he'd work with all of them. At this point, it hasn't worked. So I appreciate and recognize the great time he put in. And he's tough as hell. Physically and spiritually, with all he has gone through.

     

    I just don't know if he has much to offer as a mentor.

    Wow - one of those Kelly Haters eh?  No worries we all have our own opinions as we should.  I for one respect what he brought to the plate as a player.  He was an arrogant SOB who was brought down to earth by his son's situation and then his own.  Life either tends to mellow the SOB's or really really sharpen them.  Looks like Jim went mellow....

     

    He was an amazing player. I cried when he retired, I was 7 though so give me that credit in that my judgment wasn't the greatest.

     

    I knew a lot of people who met him and none had any good to say. Like pass the point where you can say it was just a bad day. 

     

    I went to a game a few years ago and was invited to a post game party behind the Fieldhouse that players and retired players go to. This was right after Jim thankfully beat cancer the first time. He said he could introduce me to him. I told him I appreciate it, but I'd rather not ruin my image of him. I liked him as the figure with the tough resilient spirit that went back to when he was a player.

     

    Well I never met him but as I was walking through I got to see him get out of his car, scream at people rightly walking. Then back out and peel out and almost hit like 5 or 6 people. I saw him on sports center that morning talking about how much he loved the fans. Then I saw him almost run over 5.

     

    People said he changed, but I doubt it. I don't wish anything ill towards him. But he's definitely close to the same guy that he pretends he's not. 

     

    I didn't have to meet him to come away with a bad opinion.
