You don't know your Bills history, do you.

I was at that Notre Dame Game. The Bills were so bad that they did better having "home " preseason games on the road.

I remember those old double headers in Detroit.

That's pretty funny, EE.

As we get closer to several opening days, we will read some of the greatest moments in franchise history, Cas.

The Bills never really gave a crap about the preseason, as evidenced by their

80-128-3 lifetime record from 1960, to last Friday.
