This is his first healthy scratch. And in front of his hometown. I'm one of those that hates to judge a draft too early, but this pick is now officially, to me, one of the worst ever for this franchise. And I've been following since the mid-70s with some truly horrendous picks. This franchise's drafting over the past ten years has been embarrassingly bad, and the number one reason we suck so badly today.

It's always correctable. I've been waiting ten years for them to correct all the "little things" they keep messing up.

I will say this year is definitely a different year in terms of making the effort to watch the team. I probably can't anyway given business obligations, but if there was a strong, committed group that gathered every week at a nearby place, I'd still consider it -- getting together with Bills fans from different places is more fun and worthwhile than the game itself anyway. Though I will say my first night here was pretty damn good. Went to a small Japanese restaurant called Guu. Unfreakingbelievable, and cheaper than anything you can get in the states.

You know it, man. Wish there would be more partying than expected, but you never know. I'm not even sure how much I can get away for the game. Who knows, by the time I get out it will probably be the end of the first quarter with the game already decided. Thanks for the suggestions, BB...

Tried this in the other forum, but not much action there. I'm going to be in Vancouver this weekend on business, so just wondering if there happens to be a collection of Bills fans there who get together to watch the game. I'll be staying downtown near the convention center, so any ideas would be appreciated! Feel free to respond here or PM me.

Cool, didn't realize that was him.

The Days lived right across the street from me in Tonawanda when I was growing up. He was a ridiculously large man. I was good friends with his son, and his wife and my mother are still very close friends.

Does anyone realistically think Wade would come back here after what went down with Ralph when he was let go?

I was good friends with Abe's daughter in high school. Yeah, that's all I can contribute to this.

Great write up, thanks. Maybe one day I'll get back there and get the opportunity to hang with the TBD folks on game day...

If we had even serviceable tackles on either side, we'd be far better off. Bell may get there someday, but right now our tackles are just a liability more than anything.

Seriously, you don't think we're already there? For real?

Used to stay in Durango when we'd drive between Salt Lake and Santa Fe...love that town!

Could not have said that any better myself.

0, and we'll be talking about how Jake Long at 75% was able to manhandle Maybin at 100% the whole game. I would really, really like to be proven wrong.

If we can figure out a way to stop the run, we should be okay. A win in this game is vital, given the strength of the teams we face to open the season.

I'm less worried about the offense than I am about the defense. Seriously, will we be able to stop anyone's rushing attack?

Ah, the memories. Thanks for finding that. Didn't recall that Chef Jim has dibs on the name!

:lol: Nice one!

Like from the mouth of crayonz...

I concur, awesome post. I mean, really, if we're down to the third string QB anyway, the season is pretty much toast.

No kidding, really?

Awesome, man! Congrats!! Another Bills fan in England.

Outstanding!
