Bleed Bills Blue

Exactly. The past 15 years has seen the playing out to our detriment of two parallel events: The emergence and consistent excellence of Tom Brady and the slow dissolution of our organization under an aging, increasingly out-of-touch owner. The latter reality is now history. Next season, the first full one of the Pegula era, looks to be very different from those to which we've grown accustomed. And the former reality? Well, the same specter now knocking on Peyton Manning's door is coming for Tom Brady next. No more kissing Patriot rings and ass. To be the best you have to beat throttle the best.

And be thrilled doing so.

It's like sex and raw sex...it's all good, and you definitely want both.

I like the way you put it, and it's amazing to me that so many internet GM wannabes want to replace him with a hope and change prospect. No one bats a thousand, right? On balance, I think he's rounding into the best talent architect we've had in some time, especially considering the dysfunction he's had to work in. And he's still young, with room to grow and improve. You know, the best teams in the league have strong, consistent organizations that work together toward a well-defined, common goal. Let's hope the Pegulas and Whaley are currently laying the foundations for just such a Bills organization. God knows, with an aging Ralph Wilson, we haven't had a franchise structure like that in forever. Such an organiztion, combined with the right player talent, will get us where we all want to be.

She and Kim would really shake up the ol' boy network!

From Yahoo Sports: "Mike Pereira, the well-respected former vice president of officiating in the NFL, was in the booth for Fox’s broadcast and said he thought it was pass interference and wrong of the officials to reverse the call." Mike Pereira ✔ @MikePereira Follow I am out of here. Biggest call was the DPI pickup. It was DPI and it was defensive holding as well. Not good. 7:58 PM - 4 Jan 2015

Duh, the plural of Pegula is Pegulii. Or maybe I'm just being a wise as's?

Slinks out of Buffalo like a thief in the night, but I bet he gives a long-winded BS speech when he's announced in NY. I predict he'll be a bit hit down there after he turns water into beer and raises Fireman Ed from the dead.

Absolutely. A building is only as good as the foundation on which it rests. Let's build an organization that will be top notch for the long haul.

Yes, trade a fifth...of Jack Daniels, if Orton gives the go ahead.

So hard to square the QB we've seen the last few weeks with the one who won the Vikings game. I think there's no way Marrone won't start Orton this week; but, at this point, I'd rather see EJ, if only because I feel like I've been kicked in the nuts by both Orton and Marrone, and I'm sick of them both.

When I saw Rivers huddling with a composed, confident looking Frank Reich on the sidelines during the tying touchdown drive...that's when I felt the hammer of doom begin to drop. This is no time for New York to be banning powdered alcohol.

21-0...great start to the weekend.

Loved it! Hope I'm still going to the games at anywhere near that age.

That one's from bad Santa, he says Merry Christmas, B word!

Marrone is history. Here is our new Head Coach and his assistant. Super Bowl!!

So reassuring to know EJ is quietly learning from the master...

Nice... :D

I hope we get after him like we got after Joe Montana in that AFC Championship game...with the same results (knock him out of the game). Someone's got to send a message to these ancient quarterbacks that their time is up! Actually, I'm probably more worried about Orton. The Broncos are no slouches in lowering the boom on QBs.

Scanning through the donors, I notice there are lots of fans of other teams...Cowboys, Lions, etc. How about Janice Torbet, who gave $100: "From the Raider Nation, to one of the Bills who whopped us so badly in the Jan. 20, 1991 AFC title game." Or Paul Richardson, who also gave $100: "As an Oiler fan I hated the Bills, for obvious reasons, but I respected the hell out of every player. Especially the heart and soul of their defense. Good luck Darryl, don't give up!" I also see a lot of comments from folks who don't remember, or were too young to have watched Talley, on how the NFL needs to step up and do more. If nothing else, this is raising some badly needed awareness like few other stories have. Maybe because there's still hope for intervention and not a suicide, after the fact. Some notable donors (real or not): Takeo Spikes $500 London Fletcher 1000 Peter King 250 Ryan Miller 100 Mike Williams?? 100 And many anonymous $500 & $1000 donors. Got to be quite a few current and former players in that bunch!

It's just so great that the nation now gets to see such a positive story about our team and region after the endless snowtorm coverage.

Incredible and inspiring. No telling just how far this will run.
