  1. Ok Bills fans. Hang in there. Lets score a TD and take control. Lots of time yet.
  2. Football is still football. Blocking and tackling.
  3. Time for a Fitz Pick-6. Fitz can do it.
  4. We should not need him. Run Gore and Singletary and its 14-0
  5. Terrible playcalling. Daboll making this too hard.
  6. Really want to see Allen throw some accurate deep balls ... time for him to find a groove.
  7. Good coverage to flush Fitz out of the pocket.
  8. I think so. We shall see.
  9. Sweeney is out, Koft must be active.
  10. Not crazy about the red jumpers. I like Blue shirts as white pants for home games in football weather.
  11. Hank Stram. Super Bowl IV.
  12. Well stated. I still think Thurman is worthy and I would take him over several RB already on the list, including Sanders. Gasp, yes I said it.
  13. Correct. Just another sensitive ‘offended person” spouting off while being insensitive.
  14. Buffalo Fans Loyalty Tradition Honor We owed them a 45-7 ass whipping Miami Dolphins no fan base
  15. Seems like Allen is held to a different standard than those in his draft class and even the QBs in the years prior. I think he will answer his critics by winning.
  16. Great photos by the OP. Yes, I grew up in the 60s-70’s. Loved the AFL and still have the AFL football cards and a few old team photos from the time. I really think part of the charm of the AFL and NFL pre merger was the scarcity of the product. Sunday games, fewer teams, the switch from 12 to 14 games, you got your info from newspapers ( Buffalo had two), radio, magazines. A Bills highlight show once a week on local TV. Of course the players were different too, many of them worked another job in the offseason, few were training year round. The players as a whole were definitely more reserved/modest, one only need watch the old films to see that. I definitely like the stripped down coverage and there seemed to be more clarity on the rules and calls ... today everything is over blown, over-analyzed, and almost every call on the field open for debate. In comparison, Less is more. The AFL was a catalyst for Pro football’s growth. Once the leagues started stealing players that really led to the fast merger. Monday Night Football was probably the thing that took the NFL popularity to the next level. As for all this stuff about older fans knowing more about football and rebuilds than younger fans I think that is total BS. Todays fans know a ton of information, stats, fantasy leagues, social media, endless talk shows and highlights, streaming and restreaming, blogs, tweets, forums, etc, etc. etc.
  17. Just another NFL "judgement call" that went against us. Some do, some don't. You can probably call something on every play. So many rules are subject to interpretation by the ref, this is one of them. Baby Huey was certainly over officious that day.
  18. Then why has no one picked him up? His terrible blocking, less than mediocre receiving skills, and below average running ability just might have something to do with it.
  19. Let’s not forget he spent the week in concussion protocol with limited snaps. The Titans defense is very good. The pick looks more like the receiver giving up on the play than anything else. Pass protection today was again spotty. Oh, and he won again. B+.
