Ill bet dinner that the Sabres have a NHL record on season ticket sales AND sell out EVERY game next season
The fans of the Buffalo Bills are not buying Mr. Wilsons 100 year plan....
what's your point? Are you a big Sabres fan or something?

2006 was an average year for the Bills. They proved they could be competitive, yet clearly not a dominating team, or a team capable of making a trip to the Super Bowl. If the front office is not interested in retaining key free-agents, or adding players to make the team better, can we draw a conclusion that the Super Bowl will not happen in the next year, or two, or even more?
Every season starts with the goal and aspiration to be Super Bowl champs. If you know your team cannot make it, do you get as excited and pumped up as when you believe the team has a chance? That being said, is it any wonder that they had a hard time selling out games in 2006? Why would someone, who is not a die-hard Bills fan, attend a Bills game? Early on in 2006, when it looked like the Bills were mathematically eliminated, I think some people decided not to buy tickets to the games because the team had no post-season hopes. (I have season tickets so do not criticize me. But you have to admit that it is human nature to support a winning team.)
What are they giving the fans to look forward to? In 2006, at least we could watch a young quarterback develop in front of us. But, 2006 was the year to see if Losman was our quarterback. Fans will not tolerate nothing more than a science experiment in 2007-- this team needs to start winning! Losman definitely needs some upgrades around him if that is to happen. And the defense is taking a couple of hits this year with the apparant departure of three free agents.
I think their cash-to-cap approach is too cheap for this league and will not result in a competitive team that can take down the dominant teams. Translation, even if they make the playoffs, it's a first round out. I think next year's ticket sales will again be disappointing, resulting in more involvement by Schumer and revenue-sharing criticism by Ralph. And at some point, some media yahoo is going to question the desire of the fans to keep a team in Buffalo. I will say now, don't blame the fans or the fan base. It lies with the conscious decision and announcement by management not to take this team to the next level.
I'm looking forward to the RB that Marv assured us is arriving on draft day.

Good one!
That also brings to mind Marc Bulger.
The most underrated QB in the league IMHO
I agree. And you know who gets my vote for most OVER rated.

Or he's going to announce he uses bar soap instead of body wash...
anyword on whether that will be aired on bb.com?

I wonder why everyone believes that Ian Scott or Amobi Okoye are the answer for our run D? Neither is very big, with Scott at 302 and Okoye at 287 (per the senior bowl). Neither appears strong enough to hold the point of attack against two OL, a la Pat Williams.
Also, we have the "3 technique guy" covered in our Tampa 2 scheme. Those guys are Triplett and McCargo. We do not have a run stuffing nose tackle. Kyle Williams is a decent rotation player but certainly will not take on two blockers.
The best solution I see out there is DT Terdell Sands. 6'7", 335 lbs. Thats a run-stuffer. Playing him next to a guy like Triplett or McCargo will only make them more effective.
A rotation of Sands, Triplett, McCargo and Williams would be very effective and make our MLB (whoever it is) that much more effective.
Am I missing something?
just who is this 6'7'' 335 "human"
-
because he was affordable and put up good stats as a starter in Carolina.
to my knowledge, he was a reserve.
-
keep Gandy cut Villarial and Reyes
yes! but who knows if the Bills are inclined to buy Tea for the Tinnerman.
-
Why in the world is he put at risk???!!! He's one of our best weapons. I can't stand that criminal Taylor, him and all those other parolees from the U. I would love to see someone kick his a$$.
Didn't see it...
Did I hear that it was on a FAKE punt? Why put the punter (of all players) in danger? IT'S THAT DIRT BAG BELLECHICK!
-
Yeah and the league is full of all-purpose backs. Sure if one fell into our laps I'm all over it but come on, it would be a stretch to say there are even 5 great all-purpose backs in the entire league.
That is a good point, and in fact (IMO) each of the top five running backs ARE all purpose backs. To me, finding an AP back requires good recruiting and I have faith in Marv/Fairchild/DJ to find the right rookie if that becomes the case. How poetic that the second coming of Thurman Thomas may come in the afterglow of TT's HOF.
it wreaks like optimism in here

Broncos | Carlisle likely to test market
Wed, 7 Feb 2007 08:14:37 -0800
Lee Rasizer, of the Rocky Mountain News, reports the Denver Broncos will likely allow pending free agent OG Cooper Carlisle to test the market.
With the Ticket I watch alot of games and Denver is usually one of the better 4pm games. Bottom line is they know how to get things done in terms of blocking and assignments. Not sure how much he is looking to bank on this deal but if affordable the why not get that proven starter.
Thoughts?
was he a starter or a Tutan Reyes (marginal reserve on a solid OL)?
-
Good news. It seems that the mark of any (successful) Jauron team is going to be discipline. That is, stay in your gaps, don't do anything stupid, no personal fouls, minimize mistakes, and you give yourself the best chance to win the game.
That discipline with an infusion of more talent strikes me as a winning formula for next year. Playoffs, let's do it!

Ralph simply looks vein.
vain?

He's definately one of the best and I saw all three when they were actually doing the running. The one video I would also like to see is the one where during the draft they would pan in on him at his mom's house every time a pick was made in the first round. You could see his disgust when he wasn't picked. As they got through the first round he started snoozing and they would show him with his eyes closed ( don't think he was actually asleep) but when the second round came and he got the call from the Bills you could see his frustration turn to determination to make everyone who passed on him pay big time.
Great career TT, you made them pay and you now have acknowledgement!!!!!!!!!! Congrats!
The fact that Marv and Co. plucked him out of the second round then gives me hope for the non-first round running back(s) Buffalo will draft in 2007 and/or 2008!

That was the best 4:32 of my day. Unfortunatley, it's going to be another 10 minutes before I can safely stand from my desk at work without a law suit from a female coworker.
What balance he had!

Precisely......Paul McCartney, Stones... Prince???
Thank Janet's nipple.

Take this for what i'ts worth, cause I'm afraid I dont have a picture, but I do have a Bills Super Bowl XXV Champions t-shirt I found at a Valu-City here in Illinois for $5.00.
As a Bills fan living in Chicago, I find the New York Times' decision to print the image of the XLI Championship shirt celebrating the Bears victory to be a blatant disregard for sports kharma; and because it was a New York publication, it's unfortunate to believe, as I do, that this act was compelled by east coast bias and petulant resentment.

As a McDowell graduate, I can honestly say I could care less. If the guy wants to smoke pot, let him.
I also went to McDowell and also could care less.
class of 02!

That he is. Maybe Bob Sanders will get to join him (and Mark Stepnoski) as Erieites w/ Super Bowl championship rings.
yes but unlike Mark Stepnoski he's not a vocal member of NORML and henceforth removed from Catherdal Prep's sports hall of fame indefinitely.

One of the most famous former Erieites!

If I am a guy at a Cher concert, why does everybody assume I'm gay?
Because you is what you is.

True, but I don't think JP was close to Pro Bowl material. He definitely improved over the course of the season and we all became more comfortable with him, but McNair & Pennington would be more worthy.
you don't think he was better than Romolo?

Thanks! The topic was meant to place our footbal heroes in a proper athletic perspective. When the American athlete goes against the world, he is shown to be mediocre. No one has refuted that premise in the replies so far. There has been bluster, chest-thumping, conjecture, and (most of all) excuses--but no refutation.
I'm also here for fun--and I'm enjoying it as you twits bring forward one weak, pathetic reply after another!
Mediocre? On principal alone no world class athlete is MEDIOCRE! Furthermore, you're talking out both sides of your mouth. You cite all these sports: basketball, baseball, football, soccer, the olympics, etc- and the facts with which people have responded DO indicate that the United States (with the exception of soccer) not only wins at these sports, she has been winning at them for a long time and in some cases has out right dominated them. For those few sports in which the US is NOT a perennial champion, she is- at the very least- a perennial contender.
NOW, Blue. Please, as Kelly requested, name for me another country that continually dominates EVERY sport...That's right, there isn't one. Now, Blue. Please name for ME, another country which is a perennial contender in EVERY sport...That's right, only the United States is.
Now if you want to open the debate to include the narrowing gap between the United States and "the world," by all means. I think said narrowing is hard to ignore, it's a black cloud on our domination horizon, but it was inevitable. The debate, however, is a debate which transcends sports thanks largely to a six-year productivtiy drought on Capitol Hill-but that's a different story all together!

why would any telecom who put in all the necessary infrastructure to offer DSL invite these 3rd parties in especially if they do it cheaper?
probably to lease the lines to save on cost because there isn't a return large enough to justify a crappy product like DSL
