  1. The Felser article on the front page where he writes that Jauron has stated Edwards doesn't answer or return his calls, if it is true, shows how ridiculous this team has become under Jauron. How can a player with Edwards' record act like a primadonna? Would a competent coach put up with such nonsense? It looks like we need a new QB & a new coach before we're ever going to be a winner. If it's true, both those guys are losers.
  2. No! They pitch Andy Pettitte and try to close the series out Sunday, with CC as an insurance policy for Monday and if they win Sunday, the opening game starter on Wednesday. I don't think they want to use CC Sunday & not have him available to start WS game 1.
  3. There is no tough decision-Trent is probably out until after the bye. If Fitzpatrick wins the next 2 games, he's the starter-not just this game, but he must continue to play well against Houston. By the way, hitting 40%, like he did against the Jets and winning the game because the Jets coach out-buffooned Jauron doesn't instill a lot of confidence that Fitzpatrick will blow us away two weeks in a row to win the job. He's much more likely to just blow, than to blow us away.
  4. Yes, it does! Look at our schedule, so far we've had a different offensive line just about every week.
  5. After missing out on World Series tickets, I went to Stub Hub from the Yankees site & bought a ticket for game 1 of the World Series. If they don't get in, I'll get a refund. I'm going to drive down to Poughkeepsie & go down on the train. So, all you Yankee haters, suck it! Go Yankees!
  6. Trent Edwards hasn't played much different in cold weather, he's been up & down regardless of the weather.So Mark Sanchez, after one game can't play in cold weather? So Matt Leinart WHO PLAYS IN ARIZONA (super hot weather & in a dome when needed) has proven he can't play in cold weather?
  7. Out of the 1st round-if he clears the doctors you are sooooooo wrong. Jim Kelly's college career ended in game 3 of his senior year-the Bills drafted him in the 1st round! Here's some stuff I found about his senior year: The next step in Kelly’s football career was the NFL draft. Experts predicted Kelly to be one of the top ranked quarterbacks in the draft. During Kelly’s senior season at Miami, however, he suffered a serious shoulder injury. The injury forced Kelly to sit out the rest of his senior season and cast doubt on his ability to bounce back and perform well in the NFL. Despite these doubts, the Buffalo Bills selected Kelly as the 14th overall pick. If there were ever questions about the resolve of Kelly, it was laid to rest in his senior season at Miami. "Ironically, we were playing Virginia Tech, which, of course, is also an ACC team now," he said. "I suffered a major shoulder injury in that game and had to have surgery. "When I was waking up from the surgery, the surgeon was there. He said, `Jim, I hope you studied.' I asked him why. He told me that when they went in, they found out that the injury was a lot worse than they had expected, and that he had had to put three metal rods into my shoulder. "He said that I'd never have the range of motion with that arm that I had before and that it had probably ended my career as a quarterback." When Kelly shared the news with one of his five brothers in a phone call from his hospital room, there came more advice. "Don't ever let anybody tell you want you can't do. Do you understand?" one of his older siblings grumbled. Kelly apparently listened. He was yet to become one of the greatest quarterbacks in NFL history.
  8. Didn't the Bills once draft a QB who had a major shoulder injury in college? His shoulder held up ok.
  9. I've never seen two more fundamentally unsound TEs as Royal & Gaines in Bills history. Cleveland is in for a long(er) season of dropped passes & bonehead plays. Gaines always seemed to be doing something stupid when it counted the most, and Royal always was Mr Incomplete when it was needed the most.
  10. Great article. The only line I disagree with you on is the one that Kelly might not have signed with the Bills. He was in the Bills' office when the USFL called and told him not to do anything yet. Without that call he might have even signed with the Bills that day. I've always thought that no matter what Jim Kelly said at the time, his biggest objection to signing with Buffalo was he didn't want to spend a year or two on the bench behind Joe Ferguson, when he could play right away in the USFL.
  11. The reason the UFL can't draw fans is they have no clue what they're doing. Outside of Las Vegas, the other franchises are too close to NFL teams for people to spend close to major league prices for minor league football. Why would anyone in NY pay $50 to sit on the sidelines of a minor league football game? Ditto for San Francisco-both cities have two teams, why did the UFL put teams in those 2 places? Even the Orlando team is too close to the Tampa Bay Bucs & even is playing one game in far too close St Petersburg at Tropicana Field. Making things worse, the NY team plays each of its home games in a different stadium. One is at Giants Stadium, one at Citifield, which is designed for baseball, not football & one is at Rentschler Field in East Hartford Ct. Marketing has been horrible. Until a few weeks ago, individual game tickets weren't yet available. You can't get much, if any coverage in the newspapers, the NYC papers have basically ignored the UFL. The only thing I saw was a point spread listing for their games in the NY Post. Do any of these teams have any local radio coverage? I haven't seen anything in the NY papers about the Sentinals games on the radio, I doubt they have a broadcast. The league is a joke. Sure some guys like K Graham Gano will find a job in the NFL next season, if not sooner, but the talent level is has beens and never beens. The best QB in the league is Brooks Bollinger, who has washed out with 3 NFL teams. 2nd best QB of 4 is JP.
  12. She's currently on Showtime's Californication, she's gone downhill big time. There are many actreses her age & older who look a lot better than she does. You'd think in a profession so based on looks, she would have taken better care of herself. Kathleen Turner 2009: http://www.wireimage.com/celebrities/kathleen-turner
  13. I've never seen a QB benched with a 10 point lead, that's what the Jets went into the 2nd half with. Do you realize that the garbage behind Sanchez is worse than Sanchez? Kellen Clemens is an outright bust & Eric Ainge & Kevin O'Connell ain't any better. Since Ryan really had no alternative, he had little choice but to hope to win with Sanchez playing badly and get the win in spite of him, while giving him valuable experience-it almost worked. If Ryan cost them the game, it was by having Sanchez continue to throw instead of relying on his running game. Even when the Bills were stacking the line, the Jets still were getting a big gain running every once in a while. Ryan should have let his running backs win the game, not Sanchez lose it.
  14. His salary is still way too high for a punt returner. That's why nobody wants to trade for his current contract. If he gets released, he'll be snapped up at a much lower base salary than he has right now.
  15. Rex Ryan's father used to put a bounty on taking out QBs when he was coaching the Eagles. Like father, like son.
  16. The stadium was not "half empty", unless you were counting later on when people had enough of the cold & went home.
  17. Losman is mediocre in a league where Brooks Bollinger looks like Joe Montana. HTF is that improvement?
  18. I was at the game & I was listening to the Jets radio broadcast. The Jets announcers were adamant that it was a catch & the play would not be overturned. When I watched it on the scoreboard, I thought it was a very close call because the ball was still moving a bit. I told one of the Jets fans I went to the game with "At least your announcers aren't homers"
  19. I figured it out, the Bills would become the 7th ORIGINAL AFL team to get 350 wins. What that means is out of the 8 original AFL teams, only the Jets have a worse record than the Bills.
  20. Fitz, maybe, but anyone who thinks Hamdan can start & win in the NFL is nuts. The only reason he's here is because he's buddies with Edwards & acts like another coach on the sidelines. Once Edwards goes, Hamdan is gone too.
  21. I looked up the Bills record in the Media Guide. On page 212 they have the all time head coaching records and they add up to 348-384-8. Now add in the 1-4 & it is now 349-388-8. From the Summary of coaching records of other teams from the NFL Record and Fact Book 2009, plus this year's records,here are AFL teams with over 350 wins, there's 7 already. Add in the old NFL teams and you have a ton more, especially considering all those pre-1960 games the NFL teams played. Broncos 408 Chiefs 389 Dolphins 402 Patriots 401 Raiders 431 Chargers 374 Titans 377
  22. His daughter Christy Wilson Hofmann is inheriting the team, not Mary Wilson. It's been well known for years that Ralph has willed the team to his daughters, and with the death of Linda Bogdan, that makes Christy Wilson Hofmann the sole owner and subject to estate taxes.
  23. 2-3 wins at best. We have no NFL caliber offensive tackles on the active roster-NONE! Next year none of these bums, with the possible exception of Bell in a backup role (because the other guys are worse) will be on the Bills & I doubt they'll be in the NFL. You can't win many games with no OTs.
  24. I'm going on a bus trip from Albany. Will any Bills fans other than me (and I presume Pinto Ken) be there on Sunday?
