??? Aside from the Broncos lighting up the Ravens week one, and the Titans putting 38 on the Jets today, the Bills have scored the most points to date this season against the Patriots* and Panthers, and second most for Ravens and Jets... all four of those pretty legitimate defenses... with a rookie QB... and Colin Brown... Today they scored two TDs on a team that hadn't given up a single TD since week 1. Each of these four games, the Bills offensive output has been undone by penalties and being just out of sync. Give them time. Last season with a much more veteran team, there were times Chan called plays like a beaten man. He coached himself out of a job, and no one has picked him up for a reason.

Yes, but, in his defense, the cheerleader did look a little bit like Stevie Johnson.

Will our youth prevail? ...I never would'a thunk it. ...Crow tastes like Raven. (For whatever reason, can't separate paragraphs... you get the idea)

I lurked for a few years, joined in sometime '09, I think, because the discussions felt like I was sitting next a Bills fan at a bar having a good time even though the team sucked. Now when I'm on the board, too often, I feel like I grabbed the last seat next to the loudmouth jackass, and I leave in a foul mood wondering why I wasted the time. To the mods, best of luck restoring order, and thank you.

Will our youth prevail? Quoth the Raven "Nevermore" 1 and 3 sucks balls

Unless my POV is wide right, there's no goal to this thread. As for the OP, I gotta just give it to 'em for trying.

I could see breaking my arm over a steak and pepperoncini pizza from La Nova...

Sounds more like a catcher.

Poor bastard... the slightest speculation that he could be a Bill, and now his feet are screwed up. http://bostonherald.com/sports/college/college_football/2013/09/des_clowney_sutton_dealing_with_injuries

I don't know... that strategy didn't seem to work so well against the Jets.

I thought TJ Graham was the new LG for the Bucs?? I'm so confused... I wish someone would explain to me how the NFL works.

I was thinking more along the lines of "Well now, aren't you a sexy minx. Handsome set of knockers, deary. You down for a shag? (**slap**) Aw right. Off you go, then. Pip pip, cheerio."

I actually did know that at the time of the post, but where would the fun in acknowledging that have been. It's part of the reason I couched it with "I've always thought of." Also, you see handsome used in this context nowadays about as much as you see the word "comely" used to describe women (which always reminds me too much of homely, and so I have a similar initial impression of its usage despite its opposite meaning). Bob, regarding your cleavage comment, given the second and fifth definition in your post, I most certainly think you could get away with saying that a woman had handsome cleavage without it being too awkward, especially if you were old English (at least grammatically; it has the potential to be very awkward socially).

Son of a B word!!! 10Gs on Atlanta covering and 10Gs on the over... Mrs. Marrone is gonna KILL me!

I think this summarizes what I find so annoying about him. Whether intended or not, he's pretty transparent about the fact that he looks down on his surroundings and believes that he's above them. I think he's also being generous in his self-perceived level of intelligence, which also comes across in his writing. I think he's probably being pretty honest in terms of his outlook in general, though. I remember hearing a morning show segment that I believe Shredd and Ragan did with him back when I lived in Buffalo, which would have been 2004 or earlier. It was in the middle of summer, and there wasn't much sports to talk about, and he was ripping apart his son's little league baseball team as though they were the Bills of the last decade. It was clearly supposed to be a joke, but I couldn't help but wonder if he was dumb enough to believe that 10 and 11 year old kids (who were home for the summer and might be listening to their friend's dad on the radio) would get the joke, or if he was just that miserable.

Not just your opinion. I'm not a big fan of trite analogies or poorly written, wandering non sequiturs, either. There were a few pieces in the early summer that didn't have a by-line on them (at least not that I saw) that reeked of his M.O. and were such mailed-in tripe that I would expect a fifth grade English teacher would have failed any student that turned in assignments of that standard (or lack thereof). After reading a paragraph or two, I started looking around the article and found his e-mail address attached to the bottom. It was for verification before I closed the webpage, as otherwise his fingerprints were all over it. While the vitriol has been there as long as I can recall, I don't always remember the writing style being so lazy. That seems more recent, and is probably a good indication of what he think of his job and his readers.

I feel unclean... this feels a little like choosing between which one I'd rather have, herpes or genital warts. In this scenario, I'd have to say that the Jets are herpes. I'd like to think that if the Jets win it would only be due to the decimated receiving corps of NE*, and that despite one game of bragging rights, there's practically a guarantee that the wheels will fall off before too long, whereas NE* has a much greater chance to iron out the kinks as the season wears on, barring an injury to Mrs. Bundchen, so it's important that they dig a nice deep hole early on. Ok... I think I've talked myself into rooting for herpes. Of course, if the Bills can't take care of business, then I could care less, and all of this is mental masturbation. Regardless of the outcome, as others have stated, I hope there is a ton of animosity in this game and they help to add a few starters to the season ending IR for one another.

Are you suggesting that if you took this approach to grinding an axe that the point you made might be a bit flimsy?

I'm confused... not that it matters all that much... but I can't tell if you just called you're wife handsome inadvertently in and effort to downplay your appreciation of handsome men, or if you were trying to justify finding EJ handsome because your "wife" is handsome as well... or maybe you do find your wife handsome, which I've always thought of as a masculine adjective, whereas hot is more gender neutral... unless, of course, you're using handsome to describe an amount (e.g, a handsome majority), in which case, if you just made reference to your "handsome" wife on a message board, you're just in trouble.

They give them out at State Farm along with a seatback grill when you do the discount daaaaa-ble check.

Be as obtuse as you'd like, the fact of the matter is the only two touchdowns NE* scored were courtesy of two fumbles in the red zone that they had to gain 35 yards for, tops. The other 400 yards netted them 9 points. Kinda deflates your defense sucks, same as last year's Jets game argument. But, I assume, you knew that before you posted this.
