  1. 1. It should be the Jim Kelly award 2. Jim deserves far more. 3. Anything ESPN does is not important. They are irrelevant
  2. This is not an NFL problem. It is society issue. When police forces have become a military force, trained and equiped like the army, often opposed by an armed citizenship, violent over reaction will occur. Whether police or citizens are nice people or not has nothing to do with the events.
  3. Carolina Panthers first game at the Ralph. Frank R qb. 10 yr old son burned his hand at tailgate on hot pan. Stadium first aid treated him. We sat on 50 yr line row 1. 23 to 9 for Bills At end of game TT came over to my son and gave him his game gloves. Next summer in Fredonia TT asked him where the other glove was when he got it autographed. (Left at home so as to not lose both). My son is 33 now and the gloves hang in a frame in a place of honor. Every time I see TT supporting Buffalo I recall these days.
  4. TT has proven to be an incredible player, a team mate second to none, a great friend of many, a huge supporter of Buffalo and the Bills, an ever present personality at many events, charities and exhibitions, a guy who gets Buffalo, and a very kind person. For a young man with a bad knee who we drafted when others slept, did we ever get a bargain. I am very proud of the Bills today. I have been proud of TT for years
  5. No better visual in the world than exiting a tunnel on a fall day to see those red end zone colors contrasting the green.
  6. Trading Glenn and his cap hit was a positive for an 8 game per season player Watkins was a still is over rated, whined, always hurt, and never has become the star all thought he would be. A cancer. Addition by subtraction.
  7. Cannot even comprehend the challenges Jim and family have faced. I know he and Jill and family are tough, and have turned all the dark times into a positive for many....but another challenge of this type...wow. I know three things for sure...... 1) as a fan Jim is the greatest leader the Bills and perhaps the community has ever had 2) as a person I will ensure I will send as much positive energy, love and prayers as I can to Jim and his family 3) If there is anyone in the world who can take this incredible terrible news and make the world a better place as a result it is Jim and Jill and their family. Prayers and love
  8. thanks to SDS and all the mods for many years of dedication and patience. It would take weeks to list all the interesting points of history... TBD and SW allowed me to meet some great friends...and share love of the Bills. Certainly the site has been a major contributor to the growth of the Bills fan base in spite of such challenges as Hog Boy etc etc....(oh so memorable). (haha) Happy Birthday TBD.
  9. did I confuse you when I mention Reuben, Thurman and Kelly.....
  10. might do that///the post was suppose to allow those who have been fans attending games for years a memory of old things they may remember. Maybe I was a bit to melancholy, but who is a real fan and doesn't have too many tailgators shirts....in their drawer. maybe McD will bring back the days when we can stroll along Jim Kelly Blvd with our chins up. If he does maybe I will visit Hammers. Bills games gave me some of the best memories in my life....fans, friends, passion, beer, cheer, emotion, and today as I opened the cupboard they all came flooding back. thanks for realizing that. maybe next year I will end my self imposed exile...
  11. After 17 years Dick Jauron pushed me into the decision to drop my tickets in 2010. He was last in a string of frustrations at the time even though he had been fired. today....I started a clean out of a chest where many of my Bills clothing has been stored. I counted 29 tailgators T shirts. some of you will remember the following sayings. Fu?? the 49ers Pee-on Deion Miami has lost their Cox and now they will lose their Johnson It's all about the Rush Tailgators go Deep...keep your driver alive Tailgators do it best OUTDOORS Bury da Bears Tailgators, Old no. 69....goin' down with a quality finish everytime Tailgators gab life by the balls D'fence wins championships Tailgators...Mines Huge...how BIG is your game. A long with these....3 pairs of zubaz pants...1 pair of zubaz shorts....too many sweat shirts, t-shirts, coats, ponchos, blankets to count. also located...2 copies of the Canton Newspaper, sealed in airtight bags from the day Jim Kelly joined the Hall. Posters from that day. A smiling picture with Reuben gloves autographed by Thurman an autograph book my son always took to Fredonia. 9 jerseys...including Todd Collins (I apologize for that)....2 boxes of Flutie flakes (sorry for that to). Eric Moulds jersey I wore once...he got hurt and my tailgate partners would never let me wear it again. etc..... and many many fond memories of all the great fans I tailgated with....Debbie, Bob, Phil, The King. etc etc. memories flood back of hugs with strangers...beer at 7 am, turkeys roasting in the garbage can, ribs, Italian Sausage at 7 am, ...shots, the sun rising over the stadium on a frosty morning. I have not been back since....I still have my portable Weber BBQ....maybe next year.
  12. I hope that someone in the review booth made lots of money from some bookie on this one, Hard to get upset with this type of NFL garbage when you expect it from the officials and the league in big moments.
  13. > "We are giving Jim a Black Truck" never a better speech from Ralphie.....broke up the whole crowd.
  14. Cannot be more disagreeable with you on this. The league will not take appropriate action so the team must. White was not only down but out of bounds. We have all seen hits that were more violent....but none where the player was both down and out of bounds. The Patriots TE ( I refuse to give him the pub he desires) brings the streets to Orchard Park. The appropriate response was a foot to the face as he was getting up. That would have been equal street justice to a street hit. Next week he will be on TV telling stories about being a good guy at a kids hospital and the media will be kissing has butt. He should be gone for the remainder of the season.
  15. I only have 7 jerseys hanging in the closet including Losman and Collins. A truly great post to explain the feelings of so many Bills fans.
  16. Ragland was less than ordinary. Looked slow and late to most plays
  17. The only thing positive about Ragland is the hand clap coming ot of the huddle. He looks slow and lost. 3 yards behind on all plays. Time to see him go I suspect.
  18. NO ONE COULD BE AS UNPASSIONATE and UNEMOTIONAL AS Jauron. I once saw him say Geewiz when the refs made a questionable call. I watched as he made sure his QB had a coat on his shoulders during sideline timeouts gatherings in cool weather.
  19. We gave up nothing in these transactions. Watkins was only potential, still unproven that his skills are capable of being on the field when needed. Darby can play but has not demonstrated he is a top CB. This team needs players who can show up and can lead. Sammy types who over estimate their impact cause turmoil with their expectations. " Give me the ball !!!!! I showed up this week so you should all be thankful. ".
  20. 100 % correct. If you had a careless driving charge at age 19 it still stops your entrance into US at age 60 and also the other way around. Ludicrous.
  21. if we release OJ ( and we know his performance has dropped and Shady needs more carries) I bet he joins Brady on the Pats. His MO seems to fit Belecheats skeems . If his style doesn't fit he must quit.
  22. who among us has not taken a gun to an amusement park. If this had been in Rhode Island it would be unacceptable, but in Ohio it appears necessary. Trust in Adolpho
  23. OK now just learn the secret codes and your in. ops...and make sure you understand SDS is King. welcome aboard Bills fan.
