  1. Denver is such a disaster.
  2. It will be the Bills that keep the Jets out of the playoffs. I will relish this day.
  3. BB: Even if you read the novels, you'd still find the show surprising and interesting. The show throws in new wrinkles not seen in the books, (i.e Jenner and the CDC) and vice versa. For example, the show is "showing" more about the world as it fell. The comic doesn't spend a lot of time on the topic. You might enjoy a good book called World War Z, a tale about how countries world wide take on a zombie outbreak. It tackles some of the topics like how the military was overrun at first, how governments fell, etc.
  4. I'm glad that 10 of Rubicon's 13 fans are Bills fans. I enjoyed that show. Started off slow, but got its legs. I put it into the bin with Jericho as shows the companies never gave a chance. As for the Walking Dead, my apologies for not indicating the spoilers. There's so much in the novels that can make for awesome television, and I think the first six episodes are just a tease of where this show can go.
  5. Don't shoot the messenger. That's the plot device in the novel, and so far, the tv show is following the plot fairly close. Death, by any means, is the trigger. It's just that the bites are 100% lethal, and quick to enter the bloodstream. The quote from Issue #41 "...the rule is: WHATEVER it is that causes the zombies, is something everyone already has. If you stub your toe, get an infection and die ... you turn into a zombie. UNLESS your brain is damaged. If someone shoots you in the head and you die ...you're dead. A zombie bite kills you because of infection, or blood loss ... not because of the zombie "virus."" You can survive a zombie bite if you amputate the part that is bitten. Dale gets bitten, and has his leg amputated by Rick later on.
  6. Spiller has a bright future in Buffalo, especially after the team finally invests in, and builds depth for the offensive line in 2011. Draft or free agency, do not care. Both. Spiller had a talented offensive line at Clemson, and when the line was injured, his play suffered. That's not an excuse, but as one poster already stated, Jackson knows how to run with a weak line. Spiller has not yet.
  7. Carrington is only going to get better. I am happy to see he's getting playing time.
  8. If Fitzpatrick throws for 30+ touchdowns this season, why not? It's all conversation. There's a long long time until draft day.
  9. I liked Gailey from the start, outside of the perplexing Kelsay extension. Perhaps that's more on Nix. There are two things I appreciate of Gailey as a fan: 1. The adjustments at the half. 2. This team plays to win.
  10. What a nightmare.
  11. The Denver one is the best. Literally did the LOL on that.
  12. No more one year wonders on defense. We've learned our lesson. *Hopefully*
  13. I'd argue the experiment failed instantly by having it played at the crappy Rogers Centre, which is, and will remain, the Skydome to me. The Toronto experiment would have benefited from having the game played outside in Toronto, on real grass, and set it up like the Winter Classic for the NHL..."make" the field somewhere. Whatever. Just something more unique than the bland product of two teams playing in a dome on artificial turf. Big deal.
  14. I'll take Fitzpatrick. I admit that I was not a Fitzpatrick guy at the beginning of the season, but I've loved the way he's played. For a while there, he was the only man on the team that showed up to play, especially the Jets game. As a fan I admire that. I think his absolutely lethal timing for throwing an INT can be corrected. I think it takes time, coaching and mental adjustment to fully move from backup to starting QB. Besides, the more you play, the more you learn. He's only had 29 starts in his career (six seasons), including yesterday.
  15. I think he "saw the light" with the prison stint. Prison destroyed that cloak of invincibility he thought he had. I think he is truly grateful for not A) being in prison and B) getting a second shot in the NFL. Without it, he'd not only be flat broke, owing millions of dollars to creditors, but have no means to ever pay it back.
  16. Does anybody know *why* Alex Carrington is always inactive? You'd think he'd be good against the run.
  17. His show is unwatchable. It should be, due to the smoking hot co-host. But it isn't.
  18. So it's cold. Wussbag. His kids must be proud, seeing dad B word about "weather".
  19. You know the minute Luck proclaims he's coming out of college next year, the streak will begin. It's like an ancient doomsday machine winding up. We go from sure fire #1 pick to somewhere in the 20s. We'll even pull out a miraculous win in Tennessee during the playoffs just for spite.
  20. Glazer is wrong. Buffalo is the perfect destination for a guy like Merriman. He needs a low key, zero expectations sort of place to play well to get that last big contract. He can get healthy here, get the big numbers and get straightened out. Lastly, I wouldn't be shocked should he perform, that Buffalo would give him the big contract. One less hole to fill via draft. This team has had an excellent track record in signing quality free agent linebackers, and I'd like to believe that team's confidence in him would be rewarded.
  21. The worst that happens is that he bombs magnificently in Buffalo and goes away at the end of the season.
  22. I would put my money on the riot happening. I wouldn't mind Merriman for the remainder of the year. If I were him, Buffalo would be the low key, low expectation place to prove I deserve another big contract.
  23. After I sign Ngata *and* David Harris in free agency, I go with the meanest, largest man that can get to the quarterback. If Luck is there, yeah, you'd have to take him.
  24. Wade will finish out the season. He won't be back for the next football season, as Jerry Jones will throw bags of money at A) Bill Cowher or B) Jon Gruden).
  25. Who does the o-line analysis, where they break down the number of plays, etc.? I think it's in a poster's blog. That's the take I'd enjoy reading.
