  1. With both WGR and WHAM streaming on the internet, any Bills fan not in WNY can get a full plate (some would call Dickerson a garbage plate) of Bills coverage. This is the 1st season that I can come home & listen to my choice of Bills coverage. 1st WGR until 6:00 pm, then choose between WHAM (Bob Matthews) 6-8. Monday's 7-8 WHAM show is the odd couple of Matthews & Dickerson.
  2. Please don't revise history. The Bills won opening day over Indy 26-10, had the turning point debacle in Miami to make it 1-1 (Mia 30-7), pounded the Jets 30-7 to make their record 2-1, then were trailing to Denver before pulling out a victory to make it 3-1. The only bad game was Miami.
  3. Hey Roger, can you please tell the refs that when the schedule reads NE-Buffalo it doesn't automatically mean "Screw The Bills Today"
  4. Typical Drew-play like sh** when it matters and go right down the field once the pressure of winning the game is gone.
  5. Running backs are not known for their intelligence. In fact the smart ones get out sooner rather than later. Robert Smith was probably the smartest RB in recent years & he bailed out his career. Although he gets maligned a lot due to the obvious things, Ricky Williams is very intelligent & if he didn't have to pay millions back, he'd be long gone from football.
  6. Good to see you got home safely. Are you watching how lousy Drew is playing for Dallas?
  7. 44% completion %, 33.3 QB rating 2ints Whoever said get rid of a player one year too early rather than 1 year too late was BRILLIANT!
  8. Titans & Browns might not win three games together this season.
  9. Next time WRGB doesn't show the Bills, join us at the bowling alley/bar on Main Street in Ravena. We all met at our friend's house on Beaver Dam Road & drove down. Not too crowded and we had our own big tv to watch the game. Pretty good wings too.
  10. Then why was KC about to dump him off on another team (the rumors were a mid pick or a trade involving McCardell) and be willing to take a > $3 mil cap hit? They thought he was a bust & got lucky that nobody traded for him. It happens all the time. When Frank Reich was put on Plan B, nobody signed him away from Buffalo. The Bills had no idea he was the perfect #2 QB for that team...and if he had signed elsewhere, there would be no Houston comeback in our history. Kurt Warner was exposed to the expansion draft & Cleveland passed on him. He won the Super Bowl that season.
  11. They changed the name of the drink from a screwdriver to a Bloody Nicole

  13. That was opening day against the hated Dolphins. The Bills had not made the playoffs the previous 5 seasons and had a losing record each of the last 4 seasons. In addition, the opponent had beaten the Bills 20 straight times. Well that day the Bills opened some eyes defeating the Dolphins 17-7. The team went on to start the season 5-0 before ending up 11-5, earning their 1st playoff berth since 1974, ushering in a new (although too short lived) era of winning Buffalo Bills football. The pent up frustration of the fans was so evident on that day, that when the game ended, the fans stormed the field and tore down the goal posts, ON OPENING DAY! I've never seen this before or after and in today's era of added stadium security, will never happen again in an NFL game. Just like that day in 1980, the Bills are in a long playoff drought playing a team that has owned them (Patriots 10-1 last 11 games). While there won't be any home field advantage, or fans storming the field, with the start of a new season, I can dream of today being the 9/7/80 of the 2000s.
  14. Does anyone have any confirmation of Smith getting cut other than Chris Brown's story? I'm getting suspicious since I haven't found a transaction involving Smith getting cut from the Patriots anywhere on the net with the exception of people who read Brown.
  15. Scroll down to PFT Pic of the day. Warning: Don't have any liquids in your mouth when viewing. http://profootballtalk.com/
  16. Are you coming to the tailgate at Hammer's? Stop by & meet us.
  17. It took LJ longer than McGahee to establish himself. Go back to the middle of 2004, when LJ was backing up Priest Holmes. Around the trading deadline, KC thought he was a bust & rumors were rampant that they'd take a mid-2nd day pick (5-6th round) to get Johnson out of there. He was buried on the bench and disgruntled. How soon everyone forgets.
  18. Going back in the time machine: Why would Knox trade up for Perry Tuttle, dumb move. Should have drafted Mike Quick. Matt Kofler in the 2nd round? Give me a break! 3rd round-That Eugene Marv guy has some potential, but the Metzelaars guy Seattle picked in our spot looks like a player. The rest of our draft looks pretty bad, at least Knox got us a kicker to replace Mike-Mayer. That Anderson guy should be entrenched as our kicker for the next decade or two
  19. It all comes down to this on Sunday: Before the game the linebacker coming off an injury who will get all the media attention will be Tedy Bruschi. I hope Takeo will gain added incentive by being slighted by the media. He's the one those pre-game shows should be focusing on, not Bruschi. If Takeo goes wild, having a game big enough to lead the Bills to victory, the legend of Bruschi ends and the legend of Takeo takes its place. Please Takeo, do it for all of us, the world has seen enough of the Patriots & Tedy Bruschi.
  20. Remember when Donahoe put all those clippings in the press room in an attempt to say he was right choosing Mike Williams over Bryant McKinnie? Does TD still live in WNY, or has he crawled back to Pittsburgh? If he's still in the Buffalo are someone should print the link and dump a ton of them on his front lawn. http://msn.foxsports.com/nfl/story/5948942
  21. Link http://www.cnn.com/2006/US/09/08/ny.manhunt/index.html
  22. Logic 101: Underdog wins the game underdog covers. If the spread was Patriots-1 the Bills would still cover. The game won't be close, Bills by at least 10!
