When I watch the Bills, I feel like I'm watching a bunch of guys who would play football for free.

From Peter King, our favorite sportswriter, over at SI.com. I don't think you could give a better compliment to a team. Shows what energy and passion that these guys play with. Not all of these guys would be starting if it wasn't for the injuries we had. They are certainly making the most out of it!

Re: Best Quote I have ever heard about the Bills
He's right about this, too. I was shocked that Larry could do that!
"Buffalo defensive tackle Larry Tripplett made one of the prettiest diving interceptions of the year at Washington ... and he weighs 308 pounds."I didn't come here to fight, I hate fighting. Life is way too short to spend it on fighting! Go fight with yourself, one of you will eventually win! -

That's been true about the Buffalo Bills since they signed Jim Kelly in August of 1986.

Re: Best Quote I have ever heard about the Bills
WE do have such a good group of "good" guys. Its hard to not like any of them.I remember that one fateful day when Coach took me aside. I knew what was coming. "You don't have to tell me," I said. "I'm off the team, aren't I?"
"Well," said Coach, "you never were really ON the team. You made that uniform you're wearing out of rags and towels, and your helmet is a toy space helmet.
You show up at practice and then either steal the ball and make us chase you to get it back, or you try to tackle people at inappropriate times."
It was all true what he was saying. And yet, I thought something is brewing inside the head of this Coach.
He sees something in me, some kind of raw talent that he can mold. But that's when I felt the handcuffs go on.

As great as that play was by Tripplett (and it was a great play by him), the athleticism McGee used to deflect that ball was even better.Originally posted by mybillsHe's right about this, too. I was shocked that Larry could do that!
"Buffalo defensive tackle Larry Tripplett made one of the prettiest diving interceptions of the year at Washington ... and he weighs 308 pounds."
The WR's body was in perfect position in front of him, it was an accurate throw with good velocity, and McGee broke as hard as he could and laid out virtually horizontal to get his hand in front of the player and bat the ball back, no less.
If you get the chance to see the game on replay or recorded it, watch when they show that play from the back of the defense. Wow.
That was simply a terrific NFL play all around.Click to listen:

Tripplet hustling to get into position to pick that pass off says a lot about how this team is coached.Originally posted by paladin warriorComment

Re: Best Quote I have ever heard about the Bills
The one positive side to all of the injuries is the development of a lot of good young players - Jackson, DiGiorgio, Greer, Wilson, etc. - who are happy for the chance to play, and show it.Should have known, way back in 1960 when we drafted Richie Lucas Number 1, that this would be a long, hard ride. But who could have known it would be THIS bad?

Re: Best Quote I have ever heard about the Bills
Tripplet gets to join the club of players who have had a interception. The backs have some sort of bet with efense who pay out when someone gets one. Bet the backs are surprised on who is getting paid this week although McGee should not have to pay this week as repayment for the assist.Originally posted by RomesComment

Can I remove Wislon from the list?Originally posted by Jan Reimers
I do agree that the injuries have allowed some of our depth to develop. Does Marv look like he knows what he's doing because I think he does.Comment

Re: Best Quote I have ever heard about the Bills
As much as this coaching staff has made me crazy this year - we can't discount the fact that this team does come out and play 100% on just about every down. That's a testament to the staff and GM. Having said that, I still think Fairchild is a big problem and should be let go!Comment

Re: Best Quote I have ever heard about the Bills
Not the same for the team was offering that. Players do it all the time. QBs are well known for promising to take linemen out to dinner or even in one case buy watches when they are not sacked. I do not think Trent Edwards can afford to do that with our line - he is only a third round pick and those are some BIG boys.Originally posted by GunzlingrComment

Re: Best Quote I have ever heard about the Bills
I'm starting to agree with that sentiment. There are some decent players on this offense, and Fairchild has to bear some accountability for an entire season of ineptitude and inability to put points on the board.Originally posted by TedMockI've made up my mind. Don't confuse me with the facts.
I'm the most reasonable poster here. If you don't agree, I'll be forced to have a hissy fit.Comment
