Even though this question lost a lot of seriousness a while back ... I bring up the counter point -- Most cultures, i.e. besides western (european & american), consider it a sign of respect to cover the head, not remove the covering. I find this interesting because we remove our hat to sing the anthem, go to church, etc, but in the Jewish tradition (on which the Christian western culture is originally based) you place a covering on your head to enter worship, or engage in official business with political and religious authorities. As a pastor, I still ask the teens in the youth group to remove their hats when we pray, but how important is the hat vs. the importance of the heart within?

Just a question ... why would GB or TEN HAVE to draft Lynch in the first round, but for the good ol' Bills someone in the second is just fine? Just curious. Why wouldn't TEN have the same mindset?

Just look at the current and former senators & congressmen from MA and you'll see Freddie fits in even better.

Why is Lindell not listed as a #9?

I was interested in the medallions, too. I'm in NW PA, but that's still a long ways to drive everyday for 24 days. I would def. be willing to send someone money who is willing to get the full collection for me.

You guys actually like how the lightning bolt is done on the shoulders? The bolt on the white jersies aren't so bad with the blue background, but on the navy & powder blues? It looks like someone at the design firm didn't know how to use an alpha channel and make the background transparent. That's the kind of work I would have done on my 286 PC back in 1993. The helmets are cool, the jersey colors are great, but those shoulder bolts ruin it for me. I'd be ticked if the Bills put a buffalo on the sleeve of our jersey with an oversized white background like mom did it at home with an iron on transfer.

anyone who's been around knows that you don't use "belinda" unless there is no message beyond the message title How to spot a not!

Byron Franklin BTW, I was looking through "Relentless" and in 1982, Jim Haslett had a catch. Does anyone remember this? Seems weird to me.

Deluca needs another crusade after his one against JP fell by the wayside by playing well this season ... Marv & RW were the next best logical direction for ill-informed opinion & conjecture. Most of the rest of the country is already saying "too old, too senile", why wouldn't Deluca jump on that bandwagon?

... But how does that prove that the NFC is better ...

I was too busy feeling sorry for the piano being out in the rain, being played by an old, fat, bald guy that I didn't recognize. Billy looked really bad.

Did anyone else want to see a follow up to the Sierra Mist Karate Class. I wanted to see the instructor thrash one of the students when they tried to take the Mist. Without that non-existant ending, the was a lame commercial.

Yeah, you can't just keep letting your FA go, year after year. Really, just look at the Pittsburgh Steelers. Big names and production don't mean much in the NFL. What IS important? Your GM's prognosis on future production compared to other options.

Yeah, that's why Bruce never worked well in the 3-4 Bruce would have to be a MLB on D if that were the case

Sorry, I live out of state & I'm a pastor -- Sundays are usually kind of booked for me. That being said, I went to a preseason game (4 tickets), used my credit card points to get 2 tickets to the Miami game (had to sell them cuz it did line up with my vacation), and bought 4 more tickets to Tennessee game (cuz it does line up with my vacation). My wife has consented to one of my dreams -- when I retire, we'll rent an RV and hit each of the 16 (or more) Bills games that year. Until then, I'll need to be content with one or two games a year.

The point isn't about mileage, it's about commute times, and another city taking the team. Orchard Park isn't a threat to Buffalo as the main city in Erie county/Western New York. However, if pro franchises start moving to Rochester ... While Rochester is still regional to Buffalo (as is Santa Clara to SF), it can clearly be a competitor. As much as we want regional support for the Bills, they are still the BUFFALO Bills.

The equivalent would not be the Bills moving to Batavia. It would be the Bills moving to Rochester. Or the Bears moving to Milwaukee.

I actually think that they would be served well by going to a 3 WR set, TE right side (to help out our RT, RG) and a single back. 'Course, I'm not paid to make those decisions. I'm just tired of the token play fake out of the I Formation with a flare pass to Shelton. Let Josh Reed play slot and motion him as needed for extra blocking, depending on the direction/misdirection of the play. We need more ace back sets -- WM or AT.

I wouldn't make it all about ATrain. He played very well. I was excited about the effort. But ... WM had 4 rushes for 15 yards when he got hurt. Also he got hurt on a rush that resulted in a -3. So ... his first three rushes were for 18 yards (5 yds, 4 yds, 9 yds). Looks like we were gonna run over the left side all day, WM or AT.

I was trying to put the best possible spin on those days ... One of my good friends played football with Jim in high school (my friend was a freshman when Jim was a senior, my friend's claim to fame is that Jim peed on him in the shower) -- when I've mentioned that Jim looked drunk during a few of those games early in his career, my friend said it wouldn't surprise him at all.

In '86, we were coming off of 2-14, 2-14, 4-12 seasons. Not many cared about the Bills. Kelly came into camp after two years in the minors (USFL) where he honed his ability to run an offense. His first two years in the NFL, his passer rating (though not the perfect measure of QBing, it is the best we have) was 83-84 both years. Nothing great. In '88, his first year with Thermal (which should have helped) his rating dropped to 78.2. '89 his rating increased to 86.2 -- a level that we would now be more or less satisfied with. His fifth NFL season the rating jumped to 101+. That was his 7th season of starting in a professional setting. It takes time to develop team identity, team play. Even extremely talented players take years to jell (gel?) as a team. Give Marv a chance to develop that team. I don't remember anyone who cared about the Bills calling for Marv's head early on in his career. The only head we called for was Kelly's. Course that was only after those games where it looked like he was playing drunk ...

I got the biggest chuckle out of the Raiders being last in the league in fan loyalty ... so much for Raider Nation.

I went online in late '94. The only connecting my computer did before that was with college servers.

Wasn't it TKO who did that to Wicky Williams?

Does that mean that Gandy should be the dude vacuuming out the car for the next customer?
