One game at a time. We were very much improved in the Miami game, have a long row to hoe, and lots of luck plays into it. Hell, who thought the Red sox would make it to a seventh game?

Yeah..the Ronnie Harmon play and Music City Miracle are really pit plays. The Ronnie Harmon, bad as it was, was only ONE guy dropping a pass. The Music City Miracle qualifies because at least one and maybe more missed their assignment. Both of course were when a playoff berth, or playoff advancement were at stake. This play at New England was pure. Game on the line. Five or six people miss their assignments...just atrocious play by all concerned.

Something posted yesterday has stuck with me. The description of that fourth down play against New England where apparrently EVERYONE on the offensive side of the ball missed their assignment was referred to as one of the worst plays in NFL history. All time bad plays! Humiliating. I guess I'd like to know if there has ever been another Bills play in its 45 year history that might compete with it. I've followed the Bills since 1960, have gone over some really awful years...and can't come up with one. Maybe there should be a plaque in Canton commemorating the play. It will rank with The Drive...Elway. The Catch...Willie Mays. The screw up...Buffalo Bills.

I think Bayh is a possibility, but I suspect the 2008 candidates will take form around 2006, not now. The names I'm hearing here are people past their prime, Giuliani, Pataki, et al. Schwarzenneger isn't a natural born citizen, so he's out. I've seen some Republicans on the talking head shows who might emerge, but its way too early to tell.

I and the general public know What all school children learned, Those that have evil done to them Do evil in return. W.H. Auden

The way the bills are playing maybe we could send them to cortland and have the sorority girls teeter totter at the Stadium?

Hell boomer, if that were your platform even I would consider voting for you.

As a citizen I would WANT a critique of the past administration. An analysis by the incumbent, and a statement by the challenger. I think it might not have been fair to phrase it as "mistakes you made" as opposed to "mistakes made the administration". Bush answered it honestly. He doesn't think any mistakes were made and you should in fact vote for him if you believe that. Kerry thinks mistakes were (the war in Iraq, the war on terrorism and the economy) No big deal.

Very good observation.

WELCOME BACK~~

I ran for office on a couple of occassions and worked for candidates on and off since the early 70's. I know that politicians get lambasted (maybe rightly) for not doing much when they are in office, but I'll tell you Republican or Democrat, they work their asses off in getting elected. I will never say that candidates don't work on their elections, as it is one very stressful job to get elected.

If we were the worst team in the NFL it wouldn't be as bad as this. I've been a fan when we clearly had the worst team in the NFL in the late sixties (Dan Darragh?). When the TEAM is that bad you can cheer for them to perform above their talent and be proud of them occassionally rising to the challenge. This team is a not-bad team talent wise playing like the worst team in the NFL. I'm not saying this to put a positive spin on things because I think there is nothing worse than a team that can win just not putting enough into it to win a game. That makes me sick.

Our "friends" should work on that little practical joke of flying airplanes into our skyscrapers. Almost all of them were Saudi. Did they mention that on their ad? Or where the money came from to launch 9/11? Hmmm...probably not. Bandar Bush should really talk about that a bit.

Given the hard time you have with English, I can see your point.

Actually its the offensive line. Simple as that.

Why on earth would Miami give up a draft choice that might be the Number one overall for DB and TH? Assuming TH is as bad as some say he is...and DB is as bad as he's appearing to be, I can't imagine anyone agreeing to the trade. I think it is a good idea if we can get it. Without DB or TH we will gaurantee that we will have the worst record in football and the number one overall draft pick. Maybe we could trade Takeo Spikes and Moorman as well?

I don't think we have seen the successor for Bush yet. My bet is that it will be a governor, but we'll have to see. If Kerry loses? I imagine we'll be speaking Arabic and most of the country will be unemployed so that it won't much matter who runs for president.

1. The war in Iraq. Bush shouldn't have gotten into it and he certainly can't get us out of it. Kerry/Edwards can. 2. The deficit. Bush took a surplus and turned it into the biggest deficit in history. He can't get us out of it. Kerry/Edwards can 3. Health care. Its broke. Bush didn't, couldn't or wouldn't fix it. Kerry Edwards have at least an idea for fixing it. Kerry has the financial advisors and planners (Bob Rubin et. al.) that gave us the Clinton economy...the best one we've ever had. Bush has more of the same. Kerry has the military leaders who know what it means to lead. Bush has yes men. Kerry knows who the terrorists are. Bush thinks Saddam and his Iraqi henchmen were the threat. We all know better now. Listen to your friends.

those weasels can use all the blessings they can get.

Yes, Rich...but remember that Tennessee did beat Georgia. There is a silver lining to every cloud!!!

Every election where there is an incumbent is, for the most part, a referendum on the incumbent's first four years. Hence a question about Bush's handling of his first term and mistakes made in that term is perfectly fair. Bush could have said there were mistakes but in his opinion they were offset by major accomplishments, or even could have said that there weren't any mistakes (both outrageously false statements, but better than whatever it was he said). Kerry maintains he was a very bad president and backed it up. Sounds fair to me. What mistakes were made in the previous administration and what are you going to do to avoid making them in the future. Bush says none and you are going to get more of the same. Kerry says plenty and I'll do my best to avoid them in my term.

Why Alaska Dimwit, I'm flattered that you think the Bushies would go to such an extent to cover their asses for failing to anticipate, address, prepare for, or deal with terrorism. The skittle colored "warning system" just doesn't cut it. When I was in high school we criticized a classmate (offensive line) for "look out" blocks. When a defensive lineman rushed by him he'd yell "look out." As bills fans might notice that kind of lineman isn't very offensive. The warning system is Bushie's "lookout block!"

As the poet Yeats says-"who can tell the dancer from the dance?" The team plays like a bad team...its a bad team.

I saw the movie. Moore makes three salient points. Bush did little between taking office and 9/11 and was grossly unprepared for it. That has been backed up by everyone investigating the situation ever since. Did the people before Bush not do enough? for sure. But the critical nine months leading up to it were on Bush's watch and he failed, resulting in thousands of innocent civilian deaths. Bush and his family have had an unhealthy personal and professional relationship with the Saudi governments in general and the Bin Ladens in particular, resulting in his dereliction of responsibility both before and after 9/11 and to the present. The Al Qaeda opereation has been and continues to be financed by Saudi money. The war in Iraq is a mess. We all know that now. An unnecessary and counterproductive mess. There is lots of room to criticize Moore for injecting humor and unnecessary digs at Bush and his chickenhawk buddies. However I believe it will win another Academy Award. And deserves to.
