Tampa Bay have major problems selling out also....9,000 tickets remained to this sundays game, just to get to the 85-percent minimum.

Obama's demographic edge: Yes, the auto bailout mattered in Ohio. Sure, Hurricane Sandy helped the president. And, yes, the economy was the No. 1 issue. But make no mistake: What happened last night was a demographic time bomb that had been ticking and that blew up in GOP faces. As the Obama campaign had assumed more than a year ago, the white portion of the electorate dropped to 72%, and the president won just 39% of that vote. But he carried a whopping 93% of black voters (representing 13% of the electorate), 71% of Latinos (representing 10%), and also 73% of Asians (3%). What’s more, despite all the predictions that youth turnout would be down, voters 18-29 made up 19% of last night’s voting population -- up from 18% four years ago -- and President Obama took 60% from that group. The trend also played out in the key battleground states: The president won about 70% of the Latino vote in Colorado and Nevada, and he won 60% of it in Florida (a high number given the state’s large GOP-leaning Cuban-American population). On Monday, we wrote that demography could determine destiny. And that’s exactly what happened. While the campaign’s turnout operation deserves all the credit for getting these voters to the polls, the most significant event of this presidential contest might very well have been the 2010 census. http://firstread.nbcnews.com/_news/2012/11/07/14993875-first-thoughts-obamas-demographic-edge?lite

] FLORHAM PARK, N.J. -- New York Jets coach Rex Ryan laughed off a leaguewide player survey that named him the most overrated coach in the NFL, saying he was just happy to finish ahead of nemesis Bill Belichick. I was like, 'Hey, I finally beat Belichick in something.' I knew it would take time, but I finally got him. http://espn.go.com/new-york/nfl/story/_/id/8603755/rex-ryan-new-york-jets-laughs-overrated-poll-results

over 90% of players polled didn't think we were the worst......

one will end their term with $20 TRILLION in debt (Obama), the other with $19 TRILLION in debt (Romney). neither party is capable of governing.

maybe after this political thread runs its course.....someone could start one on the best religion.....

Chan Gailey called into question a report Sunday that defensive end Mario Williams was dealing with a torn ligament in his left wrist. “I haven’t heard anything about that,” the Buffalo Bills’ coach said. “I don’t know where that came from, but I’ve heard nothing of that sort.” ESPN’s Adam Schefter on Sunday cited a source within the Bills’ organization in reporting that was the nature of Williams’ injury. “I had heard nothing about a ligament,” Gailey said. http://www.buffalonews.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20121105/SPORTS/121109550/1004

do you want the national debt to be $20 Trillion (Obama) or $19 Trillion (Romney) after the next 4 years ??? neither party is capable of governing.

you forgot to pledge to not post for rest of season if we lose. we lost buffalobaumer on the houston game.....

freddy and spiller should be on the field TOGETHER !!!! why Fullbacks McIntyre and Dickerson get snaps ahead of them is silly. then split out freddy or spiller in the slot when you go 3 wideouts....more than likely they will be covered by a LB creating a mismatch.

Wanny should be on the sidelines.....providing a kick in the azz....err, motivation that most young players need.

Mario looked great vs houston.....he will only get better as his wrist fully heals....

doh !!

Mario played great today.....he will only get better as his health improves.

i have every confidence, that once healthy, Mario will be a very productive player....

Not so fast, my friend.... NFL says it has made no determination on Sean Payton’s contract status for 2013 The league’s official statement, via Albert Breer of NFL Network, takes no position on Payton’s status beyond 2012. “Our office has made no determination on Sean Payton’s contract status with the Saints for next year,” the league told Breer. “All contracts between clubs and their employees must be approved by the Commissioner, and we do not comment on specific terms of individual contracts.” http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2012/11/04/nfl-says-it-has-made-no-determination-on-sean-paytons-contract-status-for-2013/

a huge "turnover" advantage in our favor (only way we win) and i'd like to see Mario have a good game....

actually, just the opposite....At issue in the contract was one specific clause that would have enabled Payton to walk away from the deal if general manager Mickey Loomis was suspended, fired or left the New Orleans organization, sources said. The league believed that any such language in Payton's contract would set a bad precedent for other coaching contracts and rejected the deal well before Loomis was suspended for the first eight games this season for his part in the bounty scandal. http://espn.go.com/nfl/story/_/id/8592214/sean-payton-deal-new-orleans-saints-voided-nfl-sources-say as far as where he may land.....a franchise QB is a must......not sure Romo qualifies for that.....but Dallas money would be huge. new orleans would still be the favorite, but past those two, i think San Diego with philip rivers would be in play.

P.S.A. .......once healthy, Mario will be a very productive player.......will he live up to his contract, probably not.

unhappy is an understatement.....there is a complete lack of trust with coaches and management (who implied it was all in his head and refused to list him on the injury report) and the bills doctors who failed to diagnose the severity of the injury.

boy...am i torn.....i love tim tebow.....i am cheering for him big time.....but i dont want him on the Bills. i know he's a winner and all the intangibles...... BUT !!....i think denver is a really good team with or without him AND he can't throw a deep ball any better than fitz.
