First off, if you haven't already read it you gotta check out this
outstanding article by Buffalo native and huge Bills fan Nick Bakay on
the current state of the Buffalo Bills:
http://www.nfl.com/news/story?id=09000d5d814a7a0b
I would love to see the Bills bring in a big time GM like Ron Wolf to
clean out the front office and pick our next head coach, instead of
overpaying a Head Coach to come in here and giving them way too much
control. C'mon Ralph, fix this organization top to bottom the way it
should be done! Although Matt Soreco disagrees with me on that. What
are your thoughts?
Reading that article I had to say Bakay did Bills fan proud, and made
me think of and miss good ol' Tim Russert.
Also got word via Thurman Thomas on Twitter that he and his son along
with Jim Kelly went into the Bills locker room before the game Sunday
and were disrespected by some of the current Bills for being outspoken
about the team's passion this season, to the point where Thurman's son
was upset. Here's to hoping these thin-skinned wimps are playing on
another team next season.
On Thursday night, the Bills take on the NJ Jets in their annual
Toronto game. Did you see that Dolphins game? Where was this Bills
team all season. Gutsy and were exciting to watch, maybe the Bills
should have canned Jauron at the end of the year like fans wanted.
Kickoff for the Jets game is at 8:20pm, specials will start at 7pm and
run through the end of the game. In addition, the bar will offer $3
PINTS OF LABATT BLUE AND HALF PRICED APPETIZERS! Can't beat that
anywhere else in the city!
No better place to catch the Bills than McFadden's and Calico Jack's
on 42nd and 2nd. For those of you working in the city, could you ask
for a better happy hour?
J-E-T-S SUCK SUCK SUCK!!!

Cowher, Shanahan, Gruden, Dungy, Haslett are some of the coaching
names being tossed around for the Bills in 2010. Get your attention?
For anybody that hasn't heard, Coach Dick Jauron has been fired
(finally) and Perry Fewell has taken over as Interim Head Coach. Sorry
Ralph, what did you see the last couple games that you didn't see last
year? Well, what's done is done. It was reported this morning that
Jauron actually had a choice, quit or be canned at season's end.
Thanks Dick, for sparing us another two months of this embarrassment.
Great news is there are several reports that Ralph Wilson is set to
spend money (gasp) on a big name coach and/or GM for the team. Wilson
himself said in an interview this week that he is going to completely
overhaul the Front Office, no job is safe. You mean we finally
realized the remainder of Tom Donahoe's front office staff have given
us a playoff drought of 10 years, and that Russ Brandon is a salesman,
not a GM? Sorry, you can tell I have quite a bit of bitterness in me.
However if Ralph is ready to right the ship, then I'm fired up for
this long overdue rebuilding process. We might not be able to lure a
top coach here, but a solid GM and coach would be better than what
we've experienced for the last decade. I still can't believe that Bill
Polian was fired.
Oh yes, Trent Edwards has been benched and the Bills brought in
another young QB from Green Bay to backup Fitzpatrick who is now
starting. Looks like the Edwards experiment has ended.
Alas, we must survive the remainder of this season, but now its a hell
of a lot more tolerable with light at the end of the tunnel. The Bills
travel to Florida to take on the Jaguars this Sunday at 1pm. Specials
start at noon and run through the end of the game. It won't be
televised locally so head down to McFadden's and Calico's to catch it,
and chat with friends about what is going to be an awesome offseason.

And happy Friday the 13th!
We hope everybody enjoyed their bye weekend and were able to do
something productive at home, with family, or with your friends. The
Bills (3-5) return to action this Sunday as they take on the Tennessee
Titans (2-5) at 1pm. It was announced that Trent Edwards will be
returning to the starting lineup, and our #2 pick last year, WR James
Hardy, has been reactivated. C'mon down to McFadden's & Calico Jack's
to catch the game, drink/wing specials start at noon and run until the
final gun.
Hey...they could actually win this one...

Bob Kalsu
With this being Veteran's Day week, I wanted to be sure and send out
this tribute on Bob Kalsu. Kalsu was the Bills' Rookie of the Year in
1968 before going off to Vietnam where we was killed in action in
1970. He was the first NFL player to be killed in battle, and is a
true hero: http://www.buffalorumblings.com/2009/5/25/885895/a-memorial-day-tribute-to-bob-kalsu

With a 2 game road winning streak the Bills return home this week at
1pm to face the Houston Texans. Trent Edwards is still out with the
concussion he sustained in the Jets game, and next week is a bye, so
it's Ryan Fitzpatrick's last chance to prove he's a better
quarterback. While the offensive play has not gotten much prettier,
Fitzpatrick has at least shown a refreshing willingness to throw the
ball deep. It'll be his first game in the Ralph, so let's hope he
enjoys the comforts of home and we enter the bye week with a three
game winning streak and a full blown QB controversy on our hands.
McFadden's and Calico's will be rocking as always so come over and
enjoy this mini-resurgence with all your Little Buffalo friends.
Drink specials start at noon and run until the end of the game. Also,
it's daylight savings time on Sunday, so be sure to set your clocks
back an hour.

Kelly's Call:
Did you know Jim Kelly has a column on BuffaloBills.com? His latest
effort talks about the Bills QB struggles and doesn't pull any
punches.

Jets Game Wrap-up:
Thanks to everyone that came out and tailgated with us before the Jets
game two weeks ago. I think it was our biggest turnout ever, which is
really saying a lot considering how bad things looked before the game.
Hopefully everyone enjoyed themselves at the tailgate and stuck
around long enough afterwards to watch all the sad Jets fans leave the
parking lot. I know I did.
Marathon:
This Sunday is the 40th NYC Marathon. It's an amazing event that
showcases the best of the city and I'd like to encourage everyone to
head out before the game to watch and cheer on the runners. I'll be
out there running this year so if you see a guy in a Bills shirt sure
be sure to yell extra loud because I'll need the help to finish fast
enough to get to Calicos for the second half! Good luck to any other
runners out there!
Go Bills! Go SABRES! (7-1-1 so far!)

Hi All 1,943 Diehard Bills Fans,
It's that time of year again, when we take over Lot 16, Pole C and
show those disgusting Jets fans the true meaning of Tailgating! The
weather forecast is pretty gross but that won't stop us. Pack your
jackets, boots, hats and mittens (all waterproof of course) and join
us! On a personal note, this is my 6th year running the tailgate, and
my 7th tailgate overall and I'm not going to let a little rain dampen
my fun and neither should you!
Here are the details – Kickoff is 4pm, and we'll have things up and
running by 12ish. We'll be in Lot 16, by Pole C. Look for the huge
collection of Red, White and Blue in the sea of puke green. If you
plan on driving you MUST pre-purchase a parking pass. Ebay and
Stubhub have a bunch on sale if you need one.
McFadden's was nice enough to donate beer and Bloody Marys and we'll
be selling $5 wristbands as a fundraiser for our annual operating
costs. The Bloody Marys are always a huge hit so get there early if
you want some. We don't supply food but there is always plenty of
grill space so feel free to bring food.
For those of you not venturing into the swamp, McFadden's and Calicos
will be showing the game with the usual specials.
Billboard
Has everyone seen this? A Bills fan started a website to raise money
for a billboard calling for Ralph to clean house and in a couple of
days raised more than enough money.
