THE SLAMMER

I come here as a fan of the Buffalo Bills for 42 years and I am probably one of the most knowledgeable fans on the Buffalo Bills as I am on 5 different boards and I have had my season tickets since 1971. I have been to New England for games almost every year.

I am not here to fight with Patriots fans and you will find I never engage in rudeness and I follow the guidelines on every board.

I am fairly knowledgeable of the New England Patriots and I understand they are the team to beat in the 2009 season.

This is my plan, have some fun with you guys before the season opener and hopefully develope some friendships here....if that is possible

Please do not judge me before I post some threads here, My intention is to add a little excitement to your board and help me better understand the New England fans.

Oh, on the Bills, we have a lot of holes to fill in the draft and I wish we had 11 selections like the Patriots! LT Jason Peters is probably gone, there are rumors of dumping Marshawn Lynch, and Roscoe Parrish is on the block in Buffalo.

So why are the Patriots a top team from year to year, Better coaching, front office, and they understand how to develop players and receive maximum value in trades, but I think the Patriots should have gotten more for Matt Cassels but sometimes you get what you can before you lose them anyway.

I call em as I see em, and I hope we will have some fun!

Always ready to converse with fans from other teams on this board and I have no problem with Bills fans in particular. Have always thought Jim Kelly was one of the best Quarterbacks the AFL/NFL ever saw and I was really disappointed that he didn't end up with a ring in his time and excellence at the helm of your Bills. Thought he really deserved it. Wanted Levy to get one too, he was a hell of a coach and told it like it was to the "over officious jerks". Welcome aboard.

Look forward to the "excitement."

Just be warned: this is an over-moderated board (by far the most policed messageboard I've ever seen), which can be good and it can be bad. So things that you might think are obviously in good fun, you might find some posters (and even moderators) taking too seriously, so just an FYI. But overall this is a great board. Welcome.

I appreciate the heads up and I guess I will need to tone it down.

I attend the Bills game in Port Charlotte Fl on Sundays and we have a lot of Patriots fans there.

We have a real good time together

New England fans are blessed, I would give anything for one Superbowl victory, then I can die in peace

IcyPatriot

Geez I guess every team has a N## for a fan ... who woulda' thunk it

THE SLAMMER

Yes, there are many of us around!

There was a time when I attended every home and away game for 16 years.

Some of the players thought I was a curfew spy for the team (lol)

This is the most policed messageboard you've ever seen? Compared to whom? If you're comparing national message boards where anything goes (which makes them useless), then yes, you have a point. But how abou comparing apples to apples; i.e., one team fan forum to another team fan forum? Have you seen Steelers Fever or Bolt Talk, for example? If somebody comes along and dares to lay out a reasonable explanation as to why their team may have the audacity to beat the Steelers or Chargers, they're immediately banned.

Also keep in mind that with three championships this decade, more trolls are going to arrive here to take their shots at the Pats. For example, other than another division team, who is going to land on a Panthers, Saints, or Bucs fan site and start slinging dirt? And that's not even taking in to account the media-fueled fire known as spygate.

I would imagine that the moderators here have to deal with as many trolls on this site as all other fan forums combined. If they happen to pull the trigger a bit to quickly, as you suggest they might, it's fairly understandable.

Edit: p.s., welcome to the board Slammer! We have a few other Bills fans that post here regularly; always love to read intelligent analysis, viewpoints and discussions from fans of other teams. You'll also see a few Colts, Steelers, Chargers and Jets fans here on a regular basis too.

I thought I would check out the Patriots board to gain some incite on the 2009 season. The off season is pretty boring and I have little interest in reading about the same old topics over and over, (lol)
Its really refreshing to gain a different prospective on free agency and the draft.

I am sure you guys hate trolls the same as I, so I figured I would be upfront and post as a Bills fan instead of playing that game.

Some of my questions on the Patriots will seem a little boring here , but I do have a few.

#1 How is Tom Brady's knee?

#2 What ever happened to the Julous Peppers deal in New England, seems the media has backed away from that deal.

#3 How much Cap space do the Patriots have?

#4 With 11 picks in the draft, how will the Patriots use them, I would guess they will package picks and move up!

I will be happy to answer any questions on the Bills
