I'm worried about passing it to my progeny, so I'd consider an elective surgery.

Think of all the good that could be done if scientists isolate the Bills Fan gene and destroy it.

Seriously. It was like watching a gazelle run, as opposed to a giraffe.

Emilio and Krazy-8 learned that the hard way.

Oh yeah? http://www.comedycentral.com/videos/index.jhtml?videoId=222671&title=games-the-annihilator

I want an official Red Ryder, carbine action, two-hundred shot range model air rifle!

Did it need to be said? I check all my pawns for scoliosis.

Nothing more important to a well-game played of Chess than pawn structure. Any good player will tell you the same.

Yeah! That imaginary thing they said that you just made up is unbelievable!

To wit on San Jose's point, not every thought that digs deeper than "they suck" is a rationalization. We all saw the team improve considerably toward the end of 2010 and we all saw some truly inspiring football at the beginning of 2011 before something drastically changed.

According to the AP: http://www.google.com/hostednews/ap/article/ALeqM5izIlSjdJ6OnbxnvsA8REol_H-PpA?docId=e4eb9efdbd884d2fbff01ada250d87de I'm sure his son will prove to be just as much of a psychotic a-hole, but for now...rot in hell, B word.

Good points all. One tangible effect on those without the disease is that AIDS has put the fear of God into everybody regarding unsafe sex. Suddenly, pregnancy and the clap are concerns #2 and #3. It will be intriguing to see how the situation plays itself out in Sub-Saharan Africa, where approximately 75% of AIDS fatalities occur. Despite Western intervention, like you mentioned, approximately 6% of that region is currently infected, including 17% in South Africa. Between lack of awareness, resistance to knowledge, teenage prostitution, etc. those numbers probably won't sink very soon.

If we're talking both domestic and international, the introduction of HIV/AIDS to humanity was pretty huge.

Did it, though? The defense looks even worse than last year and Reggie Bush just gashed us (primarily straight up the middle) for 200 yards. I think Dareus has a bright future and the flashes we've seen have been brilliant, but I wouldn't attach the word "definite" onto anything regarding this defense.

If the Bills just lose every game for the next 10 seasons, they'll be the greatest team in the history of the NFL (draft).

It's baffling.

Oh, I certainly hoped for it too. The name Drew Brees started to float around in my head. After his first 3 seasons, he was marginal at best and soon after suffered a career-threatening injury, but turned himself into a Hall of Famer. I won't blame Fitz for being average. That's the player he is. I will blame the Bills FO for breaking the most fundamental rule of contract negotiations, which is to not sign a player at the absolute height of his value.

Fitz has regressed, but not generally as a quarterback. He's simply regressed to the mean. Heading into this season, his career QB rating (not a perfect stat, but a good barometer nonetheless) was 75.6. This season, he's at 80.6. What people don't realize (and apparently the Bills management is part of this group) is that football players don't just wake up one morning as an improved player. We see changes, positive or negative, and assume they are permanent. Usually they aren't. Fitz' career is now sizable enough that we can assume he won't be making any miraculous steps forward. He's a pretty typical nice backup/marginal starter. In an NFL with a mysterious dearth of talent at the QB position, he's an average starter.

The actual spirit of the thread is correct, I think - after watching both Freddie and CJ run it amazes me that the Bills are so pass-happy on offense.

Honestly, that was just a cool TD celebration. Where's the logic in that stupid "going to the ground" rule?

Have you seen Roscoe's attempts at returning over the last couple years?

Didn't realize the numbers were that bad. I've got all the respect in the world for a little dude like Roscoe who chooses football as a profession, but it's time to cut ties now that his marketable skill (returning) is moot.

No doubt. In some instances, I think coaches can't see the forest for the trees and fans actually have a better analytic angle. A good example is that pretty much everybody on this board knew Trent was done before Chan anointed him the starter in 2010. My beef is the assumption that the guys sitting on the bench will be magically better than the guys on the field - especially at QB. Everyone from Levi Brown to Brian Brohm has, at some point, been illogically championed as the white knight to save the Bills.
