  1. What a message to Maybin. He has his friends & family at the game & Gailey lets him know he's not good enough to even put his uniform on in front of them. Why even carry him on the roster any longer?
  2. I don't have a clue about Syracuse's following. I know one guy who is a big Syracuse fan, but that's it. The next 2 weeks, CBS has the doubleheader today & NE will be the 4:15 game, next week NE is on Fox at 4:15. For whatever reason, probably because the state via SUNY & state employers has transplanted more people from WNY, the Bills are a lot more popular here than the Patriots. Ch 6 slants their programming more to the Albany area than Western Mass. The Bills, Jets, & of course, Giants are on the radio here. It's been about 20 years since the Patriot games have been on the radio here. If there were enough Patriot fans, the Patriots would be on. There aren't & they're not. The last time the Bills played NE, the Giants were on CBS & Albany didn't have the game. So far this season, I haven't had to go to a bar yet because I went to the NE game & all other road games have been on home TV through the KC game next week.
  3. No. Especially considering the Jets fans will be watching the Jets on Fox the same time the Bills are playing. The Jets have top priority & the Bills 2nd priority in this market. When there isn't a conflict with the Jets, we usually get the Bills. I already looked at the extended listings on WRGB's website so I know what they're showing through next week's games.
  4. The Raiders tried to do both in 2007, drafting a 300 pound QB. It doesn't work.
  5. I picked us to go 3-13 at the beginning of the season & even that looks unattainable.
  6. Why do some people assume we have better coaching? There's no evidence that Gailey & his staff are better than what we had. Think about this-If Fewell had stayed instead of Gailey replacing him do you really think Trent Edwards would have had any chance of starting the 1st 2 games? Fewell was a big Fitzpatrick guy. When all is said & done, Fewell & his staff will be looking pretty darn good. Also, Jauron wasn't nearly as bad as some of you think. Gailey has done nothing since his arrival to make me believe he can get more victories out of the same players as either Jauron or Fewell. With the exception of OC, last year's staff was better.
  7. It looks like Albany has the next 2 Bills games. After that it will be tougher to get Bills games in Albany. Here's how the November & beyond schedule looks for Albany tv: Nov 7th-No way, Jets are at Detroit the same time. Nov 14th-Decent chance. Game would be on Fox & they have the doubleheader. The only game they could put on instead is Minnesota @ Chicago. Nov 21st-No way, Houston is @ Jets. Nov 28th-No way, Jacksonville is @ Giants. Dec 5th-Decent chance, unless the Bills are so bad Ch 6 wants to show the 4:05 Oak @ SD game to avoid direct competition with the Giants. Have to hope the favre hype puts us over the top. Dec 12th-? NE is @ Chicago the same time & the Bills/Cleveland game may only be showed in Cleveland. Dec 19th-Looks good, all competition is from other geographic area. Still have to overcome the network's urge to show Peyton Manning instead of the Bills @ Miami. Dec 26th-No way, Jets @ Chicago same time-only hope is if the game gets flexed (The Jets, not the Bills silly) Jan 2nd-Definite, @ Jets.
  8. Maybin is going to be doing that. I expect to see a play where Heap catches a ball around the 5 yard line drags Maybin into the end zone & right after they cross the goal line, Maybin tackles him, then does a celebration dance & becomes the 1st defensive player ever to get called for excessive celebration in the endzone when the offense just scored a TD.
  9. Trent Edwards was a 3rd rounder. Now we know why they are so happy to have him in Jacksonville. One man's trash is another man's treasure, until you find out why he was the other guy's trash. We're collecting a roster of other teams' trash.
  10. Root for Carolina, Cleveland, SF (not this week because they're playing Carolina) and any other team that by losing would cost us the #1 pick. Also, root like crazy for the Raiders because New England has their top pick.
  11. Really bad teams also lose close games to good teams. You never know how a game will play out, just that the bad team will find a way to lose sooner or later. If it's sooner, it's a blowout, if it's later the game appears to be close.
  12. I see you're in Massapequa. Is LI safe from the bedbugs or are they out there too?
  13. Somewhere on a 49ers board, someone is posting something like this: Do you believe that we traded up to get Anthony Davis? Look at what the Buffalo Bills did. They picked up a guy, Cordaro Howard, as an undrafted free agent. Take a look at the Bills depth chart today - Howard is their starting right tackle!!!! Grass is always greener...
  14. Who runs Bleacher Report-a bunch of Browns fans? There's still enough time for Lee Evans to be a piece of the puzzle on a good Bills team 2-3 years from now. There's no way that fat slug Rogers would be a Bill by the time the team got good. Trade Lee for an injured, out of shape slug- No Thanks!
  15. Levitre has been helping him, pretty soon Wood will be there too.
  16. Anyone who thinks the Panthers will pass on a 1st round QB because they drafted Claussen in 2010 are sadly mistaken. They must start winning some games with Moore so that they are behind us in the draft. Go Panthers!
  17. We've all seen him play. You just keep making BS excuses because YOU haven't seen him play enough to satisfy YOU. Meanwhile all the NFL Coaches & GM's who know tons more than you & I after reviewing all data when a guy hits the waiver wire agreed he's a bust. Soon enough, you'll learn what I already know-the NFL talent evaluation is sophisticated enough that when a high profile player busts, it is evident to everyone in the league. For some reason there are people who have such an overinflated idea of their own ability to scout players they refuse to believe the professionals have a degree of competence that they can actually cut players & make proper decisions on players that never get to play in an NFL game. Instead, they think they MUST see him play against NFL starters to actually trust the competence of the professionals, when just about every time the professionals are correct. I know the people in the NFL know a lot more about player evaluation, have files and tapes on all the high profile cuts & are making an informed decision that I cannot possibly make. Some people just ignore the facts and live in a dream world that they know more than the guys who are employed by the NFL.
  18. If you think Mike Williams was a bad pick, do you remember who we would have taken if he hadn't been drafted 1 pick earlier by Detroit? Joey Harrington. We were in a total lose-lose situation with the draft board put together that year.
  19. Bad teams are always going to have a number of close games that the fans will point to for optimism. However, the bottom line is the bad team will lose those close games most of the time because they are a bad team. Even the back to back 2-14 teams of the mid-80s could have been 8-8 with 2 or 3 extra stops per game. They were 2-14 because they lacked the talent to get those 2-3 stops, same as this bad team.
  20. That's only because you think the team will still suck a year from now & you won't want Ralph there.
  21. The curse of lousy drafts.
  22. How about, if you have $15 million you & your family will never need to worry about money, so why put it into anything that has even 1% risk, since your goal should be to keep it, and you have no need to make it grow. Anyone with that much $ and is "investing" in anything doesn't need to. Now all the investors will tell people they have to grow their money, but when is enough, enough?
  23. Wow, you bag on me for agreeing with the REAL GMs. The real GMs are the ones who let Brohm sail through waivers September 2009. I trust their judgement a lot better than your's. What is truly amazing is all you Brohm morons say we need to see him play-Total nonsense. QBs and position players are cut every day, never starting in the NFL. What makes Brohm so special that the NFL needs to see him start? We've cut plenty of QBs over the years who haven't started. But you and your Brohm friends HAVE to see him play. I'll go on the side of the PROFESSIONALS, who let Brohm go, not some fool with 7 posts.
  24. When I was working they made us keep changing our passwords. I really didn't care about my work PC being password protected, since there was nothing on there I wouldn't be sharing with co-workers anyway. So I just started using one letter of the alphabet 5 times. The 1st time it was aaaaa, second bbbbb etc. Then they added alpha, symbol, & numeric requirements. So I then used my initials, the @ sign & then 5 digits starting with 1. Fortunately, I left before I ran out of password combinations. My last one was hl@77777. Every time I typed it in I thought of Mickey Mantle.
  25. That's why he's the perfect #2. He can't carry a team like a franchise QB, but he can keep a decent team in the game long enough to win. Unfortunately, the rest of the roster makes this a bad team, not a decent team, so the Ls continue to pile up. I'd like to see Fitzpatrick stay here for another decade, just not as the starter. The fact that he's so smart makes him a great mentor to a franchise QB. It would be great for Fitzpatrick to be the next Frank Reich to the franchise's next Jim Kelly.
