Bleed Bills Blue

When writing or speaking, simpler is usually better. Mort would have been better off just saying: "Me douchebag".

Yeah, didn't I see Looker brace for the hit as he saw it coming out of the corner of his eye?

Looked to me like McClobber led with his shoulder...a perfectly timed and delivered hit, I'd say. See, this is what you get when Uncle Donte takes you under his personal tutelage.

Somehow the beer tastes just a little sweeter tonight.

Mass alien abduction? GO BILLS!!

I just hope the fans in attendance that day acquit themselves well and don't just sit on their hands. After all, they're representing us...I think.

Like him or not, you've got to give Dick Jauron one thing: He's gotten where he is today without resorting to cheating!

Another way to look at this is to imagine a head coach who would have posted a better record with the teams Jauron had to work with his first two years. You could argue that someone like, say, Tony Dungy might have come away with an extra win or two in those years, but I'm not at all convinced of that. Anyway, here's hoping that the Bills put together several strong winning seasons in a row and put an end to threads like this once and for all.

Good point. I remember not all our playoff games were sellouts back in the day...used to drive me nuts, as I thought they were the most exciting games all year. But, for some, the weather, holidays and whatever just keeps them home. Me, I'd rather see a fanny in every seat, so welcome them with open arms. Besides...many of those rookie Toronto fans are probably in need of some real game experience. They have to learn how to go nuts and cheer properly at a Bills game, and here they can learn from the best. Then they can take what they've learned and fan that spark at the games up north.

A better read on the N.F.L.’s popularity in Toronto will come in December when the Bills play a regular-season game against the Miami Dolphins at the Rogers Centre. Then, Sarama said, “It will be, ‘This is what it’s really going to be like, to watch our team play in another city.’ ” Ouch. For some reason that really hit home hard for the first time when I read that last sentence. Yeah, I've known the day was coming, but it's been down the road and below my radar.

Wait a minute...pride only? So I'm wrong to feel a special hatred for the Giants, Cowboys and Redskins? Man, I've been such a deluded fool all these years!

You're right. It's just a game. And it's "past", genius.

Wow, rest in peace indeed. An "ordinary" guy and larger than life.

Maybe he'll get some time in the second half, if the game seems pretty well in hand. Would be invaluable experience.

Yeah, must be the playbook loses something in the translation to Arabic.

Misplaced pity then; it's just the marvel of being human, that a person can have a number of conflicting, deep emotions coexisting at the same time.

Indeed. Senility is so sad, isn't it? Hope I die before I get old.

A Bills band of brothers...must be Trent was a chemistry major. "She (Shelby) is Wendy, keeping house for the Lost Boys." LOL...Trent, Lynch, Poz...lost boys. Poz saying "My cooking skills are limited".

Damn, I was really looking forward to watching this game...why bother now that I know how it's gonna turn out?

Damn, now I have to revise my opinion of Stroud.

There was booing as the Bills ran off the field at the half this past Sunday. But I think you mean to say (correctly) that it's a whole different quality of sentiment with some of those other teams you mention. There's always an unshakable love behind the booing, when it happens, here. At the Comeback Game in '93 I remember the crowd loudly booing the Bills as they ran to the locker room at the half trailing 35-3...that made me feel even lower than I already was. But, damn, you know what? Those boos turned to cheers just 20 minutes later as they came out to start the second half...go figure!

Not bad...for a Canadian.

LMAO!!

You say it as if there's something wrong with that.

Yes, but ours is slanted in the right direction.
