Rich Stadium Dreams

If you’re reading this as a Bills fan, you may understand this bout of insomnia. You wake up, not believing the predicament your team is in. The difference this time is that it doesn’t nearly contain the anger it once did, moderated by the number of times this has happened. But tonight (or this morning) […]

Dismantled and perplexed. That’s not exactly how Rex Ryan portrayed his defense after organized workouts in June. But that’s how they looked last night. Former Bills QB cast-off Ryan Fitzpatrick lit them up for something above 300 and less than 1000 yards last night. Matt Forte seemed to run through the Bills like a bullet through goose […]

When you’re talking Buffalo Bills football, it’s not really a matter of the classic half-empty vs. half-full argument. Rather, the cup is riding on the Rex Ryan Express with the bridge out which happens to span a chasm over the fiery abyss of Hell and Bill Belichick. In other words, a 13-7 loss to Baltimore to open the […]

Our annual rite of passage has arrived, fellow Bills fans. Eternal optimists, we are. Last time I checked, Ralph Wilson Stadium New Era Field (the name change itself should have elicited a post here already, but we digress) has sold out for yet another home opener. The September 15th Thursday night tilt with AFC East rival New […]

Today in suburban Rochester, Rex Ryan will assemble his enlarged 2015 squad of players to begin the first official Buffalo Bills Training Camp of the post-Wilson era. They will on the premises of St. John Fisher College for the next 3 1/2 weeks, conditioning themselves in the summer swelter to return to gameday fitness come September […]

I was just going through the annals of our stately little blog here. Dormancy is pretty common in the blogging world, unless you’re successful and raking in the views. We’ve had our share of slumbers. Of course, during summer it’s understandable with so little news swirling about. Last year, the sale of the Bills and […]

This blog originally opined several months ago at the very start of the DeflateGate/Ballghazi nonsense. We were wrong at the time, incorrectly assuming that, “The NFL will likely give the Patriots another token slap on the wrist.”  Looking back, it’s tough to believe underinflated footballs deserves anything more than a slap on the wrist, right? But fortunately […]

For as long as I (and many other Buffalo sports fans) can remember, hope about our Bills and Sabres could have been characterized by the simply-tuned-but-deeply-intentioned Tom Petty hit, “Free Fallin’.” (So simply tuned, in fact, that Sam Smith wandered himself into a legal battle with a similarly simply-tuned hit, “Stay With Me.” We could […]

We haven’t posted in a while, with it being the NFL offseason and all. But only hours away from the start of the NFL free agency cycle, we’re relishing looking back at a post back in mid-January which declared that the Pegulas were “all in.” That post was detailing our personally-held belief that the Rex Ryan hire […]

We knew, didn’t we? The last time the New England Patriots found themselves in the crosshairs of public opinion and shame due to Spygate, they were let off easy. The League let the team destroy the evidence, they were given a nominal fine and lost a 1st Round Draft Pick. They might as well have […]
