  1. Like weird series like this but they never seem to last more than a season. Last year is was Alcatraz, the year before The Event. There was one the year before that about a town that no one could leave certain boundaries. So yeah, I don't see this one lasting long but will watch it while it's on. Which is in 5 minutes.

  2. actually I have and your wrong, you would hope there would be similar circumstances but guess again.....just run down Buffalo and NE...Buffalo at SF at Arizona at Texans...meanwhile NE home for AZ home for SF and Home for Texans.....I'm not even going to go into the byes and short week, long week stuff. Fact is it's not fair

    Let you in on a secret...Life isn't fair!!

  3. re - "Jay Cutler – Traded for two 1st and a 3rd, instead we have/had Aaron Maybin, Spiller, and used the 3rd to trade up for Levitre"

     

    Haven't checked the world wide web yet but if memory serves (and it usually does), we passed on Cutler and drafted Whitner (thank you Marv) - received nothing here. We got Spiller and Maybin from poor records the previous season, no trade involved. The third we used to trade up for Levitre was from the first and third we got for Peters (the first was used on Wood)

     

    My bad, checked the WWW, the OP meant these are the picks we used 2 firsts and a third on instead of using them to trade to Denver for Cutler. Tried deleting but it didn't work, so editing instead.

  4. It pays to understand where the world is going.

     

    It's always amazing to look back and see how some people capitalized on advancements like TV, internet, etc. while others who were in a position to do so completely missed the boat.

    I work for a company that invented the mouse but thought it was useless and sold the patent to Steve Jobs.

    Not to mention in the same city someone "invented" digital photography and was told it was a nice idea, don't tell anyone about it, we'll make more money on film. That company has since filed for bankruptcy.

  5. UDFA Delano Howell made the team which means the coaches think he had more upside than Asper and Carder. Good for the scouting dept, but it was bad for someone, likely Asper or Carder. Looks like the coaches also think in the "win now" era it is more important to be able to get a touch back with every kickoff than to develop a player for a couple years, get one above average to good season, then lose him via free agency (e.g Bell).

  6. SM was one of the main reasons the bills beat the pats. That alone was worth his tenure. It's not like he tied up cap space that they were in need of to retain some other key cog on the roster. Schopp can Monday morning qb every decision he wants.

     

    Here is a very aptly written price Monday morning quarterbacking Schopp.

    Wow, that guy really doesn't like Schopp
  7. Great video.

    I'm switching 2 and 3, Kemp did get us 2 AFL championships as well as to the AFL championship game the year of super bowl 1. Agree with Flutie at number 4. Reich comes in at number 5 - He always played well in relief of Kelly, and followed "the comeback" by defeating the top seeded Steelers in Pittsburgh a week later. I have Lamonica goes at 6 but would be 2 or 3 had he stayed a Bill. As you say, had a pretty good Raider career. My list has Bledsoe at number 7. Who's left? Shaw, Mathison, Dufek, Ferragomo, Mangini, Holcomb, Collins, Van Pelt , Johnson, the idiot that didn't study the playbook before the game because he didn't think he'd play - Pick any 3 to get Edwards and Losman off the list.

    Like you say, does it really matter?
