Thank the Lord that the fan base in Buffalo isn't like other teams that leave 15,000 empty seats in the stadium.

Could you ever give a team any credit? Julius Jones was a starter most of the year last season on an elite team. The Bills beat a team rather easily that is a good franchise. Nobody cries for other teams when they lose players because it happens to everybody. The OL and DL of Buffalo dominated without their best player.

With Brady out the division is up for grabs. Favre is being slurped and the Jets are but beating a team that was 1-15 last year or beating a division champion from last year. Which one is more impressive?

Maybe the stats don't back it up though.

First of all it's none of your business how I come to a conclusion, secondly JJ was not a starter he rushed for just 588 yards in 07. He also not even the starter in Seattle, Morris is. Marion Barber was a starter. As for who the Bills beat in game one, do you know what the Sehawks 08 season will be? Did they not have nearly every starting WR out? Did they not lose Buerlson in the middle of the 3rd for the rest of the year? How many dropped balls did the Seahawks have that had nothing to do with the Bills? You make it seem as though the Seahawks were 100% healthy and the Bills just walked all over them. Ya know what I'm starting to think? I think you're really a Bills fan cause you give that team far more credit then they EARN, and I can't remember seeing you post anywhere but in the beast of the east.

Thank the Lord that Miami won't be moving to Canada unlike certain "franchises" that I could name.

Doesn't it suck to only be able to talk about us moving, or the cold weather, or boring city?

It might be nice to talk about beating us someday.

Go ahead, tell me how it snows in Buffalo again.

Well, I was going to write that the Bills looked impressive and could be a wildcard or even division winner but I decided otherwise after the cheap shot against dolfans. This is a surprise especially after your crying over how much feelthepain hates the Bills.


And unlike you, from your own admission, I am from and live in Buffalo currently for three decades. So, I actually know what I'm talking about. The city's been on a downward spiral for decades before most people on this board were probably even alive. The casinos are the only hope for the city, imo.

The Seahwaks are not the Cowboys or Chargers and this isn't 07. So how do you know the Seahawks even finish the season 500? You don't, but Oh lets be in awe over the Bills cause they won 1 game.

Like I said, we'll see where they stand at the end of the season.
I'm pretty sure the Seahawks have been a playoff team the last few years..

How can you say this after pimping John Beck, the guy who has never done anything in the NFL except play badly.

I guess for you seeing is believing, unless it has something to do with the team you root for.

So you're saying that the Seahawks are a weak team in an even weaker division.

The Cards are in their division.

If a weak team team from a weak division beats the fish next week will it mean that the fish are one of the weakest teams in the league or can I look forward to hearing you give the "any given Sunday" speech?

It IS rather interesting that there are sentiments out there to move the BILLS to Canada.

A BILLS team that sells out every home game regardless of how poorly they are playing....



Especially when teams like the Dolphins and Jaguars NEVER sell out their games.....


Shouldn't THOSE teams be on the hot list to be moved? Their fan base obviously doesn't want to watch them play football......




I'm just sayin......

Buffalo has some nice bars.

I just don't get why anyone would rub in moving a football team?

We have little power in it and It's a real possibility.

Plus, if you realy think about it, do you want to add another big market and an owner that can buy any player to your division? Toronto would be like Dallas. Ted Rogers is a prick who will spend spend spend spend.

These owners are everything that is wrong with the NFL. Guys that will move the team at the drop of a hat. Ralph Wilson, a loyal guy, is what the NFL needs more of.

Goodell, Sen. Charles Schumer and Wilson got together during training camp to go over topics to keep the Bills in Buffalo long term, presumably after Ralph is gone.

I don't see anything wrong with giving toronto 1 home game on even years and 2 home games on odd years as long as some part of the revenue benefits Erie county.

Packers have two home fields, it doesn't seem as if it's turned into a bad thing.
