  1. A pass is earned on the "250" thing today due to the weather....
  2. Actually, Royal appears the be the most athletic TE we've had since McKeller. Yet, while Royal has been contributing lately, I still can't forget his droppsies earlier. For my money though, he stays and so does the kid Cieslak (spelling?). If Neufield makes the team next year I'll be real surprised, or maybe more than a bit disappointed, especially since the "kid" can also play H back.... Everett eithers shows something by the start of next season or it's goodbye to him to.
  3. Humm....I recall early in TT's carrer when running to the right side behind a healthy John Davis (RG) and Howard Ballard (RT) would net 5 plus yards without a doubt. Sadly, John Davis played strongly only in 1990 and 2/3 of 1991 until his right knee was blown out. Ballard left via FA, and THEN came the likes of Parker. Far better than given credit for here in Buffalo, but never comparable to Davis and Ballard, both positions he was to play. John Davis came back, but was never the same animal he was before the injury. Paired with Ballard, they were awesome, even if only for 1 and 2/3 seasons. That was the last time I can remember the Bills having a O-line duo that could blow out anyone across for them. Hull was a great center, but not a mountain mover, like these guys were. Wolford and Ritcher on the left made our line then complete and frankly, top shelf.... Been a long time coming to see even relatively similar play....We're long overdue.
  4. Exactly.....
  5. Internet streams are pretty well controlled these days (NFL has worked hard....). Anyone going to do the chat room today?
  6. Will be watching the NFL Sunday Ticket here...Approx 10.5 hours from Buffalo (newly relocated to Georgetown, IN from Dayton, OH).
  7. Like the Bills maybe? Yet, that video sure brought back some memories of my youth...... One thing's for sure though, that stadium, memories excluded, was one crappy venue. The neighborhood was pretty nice though, Best St and all.
  8. Speaking of old Travis, playing for the miserable Titans, he's run for over 700 plus and for 4.6 ypc...... Seems pretty decent.........
  9. Will be watching from our living room, in our new home (recently relocated to Georgetown, IN - 20 miles from where I work in Louisville KY - UPS Brokeage), and best of all, on our new plasma TV (Panny)..... So far this combo is 1-0....let's make it 2-0... (Oh, and we will have a few cold ones available....) Go Bills.
  10. As said above, in an earlier reply, the questions were irrelevant to JP's task at hand. His responses were to that end. That's not quite cocky in my book. Yet, cocky, if you can back it up, quickly becomes self confident anyway.
  11. I apologize for bring him up, but that's what I thought of when talk of signing Carol came up (and JD was once one of the fastest men in the league....but that was it).
  12. J.D. Williams anyone?
  13. Hummm, I've been a Bills Fan since the Championship loss to the Chief's for the AFL Championship and a trip to the first Super Bowl (not called that back then).....After that 1966 season, the Bill's tanked badly and by 1968, our top QB that year was the immortal Dan Darraugh.....after Kemp was hurt, Flores bad arm, Kay Stephenson, etc. The Dan went down and we had good old Eddie Rutkowski at QB to finishup a single win season. The single win was a 37-35 victory over the Super Bowl Champion Jets and Joe Willie Namath...... Better fan? Maybe not, but I do have some longevity on my side...
  14. Based upon the 4 games we've seen so far, I think your seeing it. I am....
  15. Sounds like the classic Wheaties & Piss, the wheaties were yours?
  16. That's similar to what I was thinking last Sunday......Randy Cross gets on my nerves, but then there's always Dan Dierdorf.....
  17. Great C oach Interesting find....gotta love the preaching hitman.
  18. That avatar, would that make you JoeFourPack or would that be an eight pack???? ....ah, heaven....
  19. I think Volek showed loyalty to the Titans a few years back when he was an FA. Somewhere along the line, he and the Titans (who I think are really screwed up) fell out with each other. He's a heck of a lot better than Collins, and Young will be a huge bust IMHO. I watched a bit of the Titans-Chargers game this weekend and Young looked every bit as bad as that team. Weak arm, poor accuracy, just plain poor. I know a number of people around here wanted Young, but I thank God that we didn't get the chance...... Volek got screwed by the Titans, plain and simple......
  20. .........and yet again, our king was captured.....checkmate.....
  21. The 4th and 1 call was a call 90-95% of us wanted Jauron to make at the time. What bothered me more than even failing to get the first was the shutdown of the offense in the second half. They simply did not play well save for that one drive that ended on downs. What I was looking for waa a solid second half peformance. One that showed they came to play. Sadly, it was too similar to last year's second half play. Disappointing. Also, for TKO to work so hard to get back, make a big play, and then suffer the hammy injury, gave me a bad feeling that the second half fulfilled. On a positive, I liked the way the "D" was swarming to the ball, especially in the first half when the front four was actually putting some heat on Brady. My pick for the most obvious blown call.....how about Light's hold of Schoebel that was as blatant as any I've ever seen?
  22. Not that I wish injury on any player, let alone our own, I for one do not want to see him as our starter. He's shown even less to date than Losman. Yet, If he did, I'd back him until orif he shows otherwise. Holcomb, is the known commodity, and he's simply not going to take anyone anywhere.
  23. I've been in the Transportation field (International - Imports) for the past 23 years, beginning with Emery Worldwide, and for the last 21 years, I've been based at the Emery Worldwide Dayton Hub. In Dec 2004, we were bought by UPS. UPS has built a new hub in Louisville (next to their World Ports Hub) and on Jun 29, 2006, we ran our last operation at the old Emery Worldwide Hub in Dayton, Oh. Sad night it was too. However, for the past 4 months I've been working mainly in Louisville, and have been offered a position there. Of the 1200 plus employees in Dayton, only approx 50 of us were offered positions elsewhere so I'm very thankful for the opportunity. I'm currently a Senior Supervisor in the Brokerage dept. So......all's good for family except my wife has lived her whole life in Dayton Oh, and my eldest daughter (16 in another month) are pretty sad about all this. As husband and father (of five children), I'm pleased that I will continue to be able to provide for my family, and will retain my length of service for all except the company paid pension. Yet, I still have a pension based upon 21 years of service with CNF (our former owners), so this isn't a problem either. I'll begin another with UPS. The UPS 401K plan, to which I rolled my old 401 k into, is much better too, so that was a gain. Financially, this will all work out in my favor. So what's the downside? Anyone know of any Bills Backers bars in Louisville? (Fez - It looks like I'm going to land on my feet after all......old OhBF)
