Bleed Bills Blue

As much as I hate a 50 yard run back, a couple of quick out passes, a run up the middle and FG to win the game in overtime, if you don't allow FGs in OT, what does that say about the value of them in regulation? Unfortunately, it just doesn't seem logical to me to say they're great through the first four quarters but not the 5th quarter. Nope, I think you've got to play a full 15 minutes...hey, it ain't baseball, ties happen!

To paraphrase General Patton, the American way is not for you to pay for your new stadium, but to make the other poor bastard pay for your stadium! Yeah, I'm another one of those crazies that like the old hell hole just the way it is.

If this truly was the only way to keep the Bills here, well, ok... But you know, I hear this all the time, and it just doesn't make much sense to me. Why can't a RWS renovation give the league everything it requires? If the reason is to enable the team to have scores of luxury corporate suites (which is where the big money comes from), well, who are the WNY businesses who will snap these up, anyway? Build it, and they still won't come. And that's not money split with the other teams anyway, is it? It can't be simply to provide a good looking stadium for the tv audience, because, really, all you see is the field and announcers for 99% of the broadcast. And besides, isn't it more in the best interest for an NFL to show a packed house full of rabid fans instead of a pretty stadium? That provides an image that your product is thriving. For excitement and electricity we can match any team in the league (e.g., the prime time Dallas game). If you need to increase the gate so that there's a higher split with the visiting team, well, I get that. But , my observation of the local game-going fan base is that the number of new "fair-weather" fans you bring in to a new stadium won't begin to offset the number you'll lose if you double or triple the cost of season tickets.

Closer to 14 billion years old. But don't worry, it'll keep expanding for billions more so that should be enough time for the Bills to become relevant again.

Got to agree. I'll bet most of those dreaming of a new stadium here don't actually buy seasons and go to the games. I'd rather not have to pay an extra $400-500 a year for my tix. I look around, and the people I see at the Ralph on Sunday have a great game day experience as things are. A decent team would make things even better, but who really cares about individual seats with cup holders and crap like that? I mean, Promo is right, I could just as well fall in love with a new stadium, but how much more would I have to pay?

RWS is a dump? I've been too busy having fun at every home game for the last 20 years to notice!

Hmmm, exposure to mercury would explain a lot.

Ha, good enough, I'll take it!

Ok, but I'd have to know who his favorite actress is first.

If, if, if...if Trent had balls, he'd be a man.

Cinderella is going to get her little glass slippers smashed to bits, ha ha.

LOL---> Ralph, Nix, Chan...let's get Reeves and Schottenheimer on the staff, and maybe find a place for Dick LeBeau, too. While we're at it, see if we can work Sophia Loren and Ann Margaret into the Jills lineup.

I hope we kick their sorry little arses three times next year!

? What African-American got to do wit anything ? I couild definitely live with that arrangement, though.

Yeah, good lookin jersey, but no way in hell Trent is givin up his number 5.

So Coach ____________ is like what, a Zen Master?

Except for the Patriots*, the fairness of an even playing field is the very basis of all sports. The reason you're in OT to begin with is that, on this day, you've got two very evenly matched teams. To give one of them an unfair edge, however slight just makes no sense to me. With that in mind, I think the NFL should have changed the OT rule on January 4, 1993.

Yeah, the bastid stole my Flutie Flakes.

I'm Marshawn Lynch of the Buffalo Bills, and I am worth $$$$20!!!!!!!

It's hard to stop the run in the NFL.

What else can you pull out of your ass for us today?

Nice!!!

I'm gonna grab Bud Adams by the balls and squeeze as hard as I can.

No schitt. Direct and forceful, very genuine and from the heart. If that's BS, I'll take a triple helping. Ralph seems to have aged markedly in the past year...really noticeable to me. Maybe the urgency is fixed in his mind now. Go Bills!!

Wow, I'm not sure now that I want a little, pooty-whipped, posturing punk patrolling the sidelines. How is he gonna foster any field cred with the woman-beaters on our team?
