Jauron was interviewd stated TKO did not practice today was questionable and would be game time decision ****** I have no link etc - this was an interview I heard of Jauron on WFAN at~ 4:30 today

indeed. But I do this EVERY week (sometimes twice a week heheh) I learned VERY early in this process - no drinking while cooking. well,....errr... not TOOOO much ya know

Frozen gives me more options - plus I do most of my cooking AFTER the game. Typically, 1/3 to 2/5 before kickoff and 3/5 to 2/3 after. Why? People are HUNGRY after the Bills victories and less nervous. But I play this by ear too. Any donation will be cooked immediatly or put in my cooler to be cooked later. Thanks -Rich

Aaron (NYC): Hey Keith hows things? Can you please answer my question...I have been trying to get a question answered for weeks...anyways What do you think of the Bills? Their D is smothering and i think they had a good shot to beat the Jets this weekend, especially if the d plays the way they have been and Willis gets going...what do you think? SportsNation Keith Kidd: (1:06 PM ET ) I'm doing great. I love being able to sit back and talk for an hour about the NFL. I like the Bills' chances this week against the Jets. The defense has looked awesome in the first two weeks under Jauron. I like how the offense has used Willis McGahee to take pressure off of Losman. From what I've seen in the first two weeks, Losman has made a lot of strides in his decision making.

O.K> here's the update as of 1:30 pm Thursday: The GFS model (Global, low resolution compared to the regional higher resolution NAM model) has shifted markedly towards the NAM solution. This is the best we could have hoped for for Sunday. It is still going to be wet BUT the dry slot I mentioned in my earlier forecasts is still evident on the simulation but the instability behind the front will make for , at best, scattered showers conditions. Now for the specifics: Moderate to heavy rain will fall overnight from after midnight to around 5 or 6 am. The rain will then move out and we should see some clearing with possible breaks in the clouds during the morning hours. As noontime approaches, clouds will return and scattered showers are possible throughout the game. Temps will be in the low 60's but add 5 degrees if the sun comes out for any extended length of time. After the Bills victory, there is still a chance of showers but the untstable conditions should gradually reduce. In any event, the post game celebration will still be possible. Thanks to Art in RTP - I have a cooking location no matter what the weather. So Hot Buffalo Wings will be cooking as early as 8:30 am. I will be bringing along my laptop and - for those still able to log on to TBD - I will be updating my forecast several times in the next 48 - 72 hours. -RichNJoisy Pres, CNJBBB

I gotcha - I know where that is....exactly I have your cell now too. in the meantime, I wil update my forecast over at the "weather center" the dry slot may be our friend......

Art - is this Hammer's Lot you are talking about? or somewhere else?

Probably around 7:15 - 7:30 pm at Danny's If you mean at the Clarion (Williamsville), not much. PM me and I can give you my cell numbers -Rich

All papers are reporting the injury - so it is "real" whether it will keep him out is another matter. CERTAINLY - even if he plays - it will impact his play negatively. -Rich

If you have room, bring it - I will try to remember to bring along a few tools (like a hammer). I am a behind-the-desk scientist with a green thumb and I can cook up some mean wings. I also put tents up all the time so hoepfully, I won;t be befuzzled by your contraption.

I am also focusing on how windy it will be. How does your tarp hold up in windy conditions? What time do you see yourself arriving Sunday? How difficult is it to put the tarp up? I am staying at the Clarion in Williamsville 716 634-7500 (Richard Gudgel) Duff's - amherst ~ 6:30 pm friday Saturday: Original Pancake House - williamsville - ~ 8:30 am Danny's ~ 7 pm Saturday day plans - probably the Falls but maybe downtown buffalo Thanks for your offer of the tarp!! -Rich

I'll be posting another update after the late morning runs come in. The overnight runs are starting to show the beginning of a convergence in the model runs towards the high resolution model - where a strong cold front goes through WNY in the early morning, Sunday - strong winds / rain/ and some thunderstorms. After the front passes, the anticipated dry line is shaping up right near us and , hopefully, right over us. It will be windy though no matter what. A secondary front is another concern - which will be passing through durign the day Sunday and into Monday (The upper air low is trailing the surface low) . This will keep the region unsettled - and possibly showery. This secondary wave is much weaker than the first and more a nuisance than anything else. Update around 11 am. -RnJ

As far as I know - this is new. Listed as questionable http://www.newschannel34.com/sports/story....1D-D9CBB78FB118

Isn't great to have a coaching staff you can count on? 'course this won't stop me fro doing my own game-planning It seems obvious that the jets will try to beat us with Chad's arm. Their run game is mediocre. This falls into the Bils strength: pass rush and pass defense. Chad throw very good short and mid range passes but can hit the long ball which I imagine they will go for throughout the game. The Bills must gameplan for the long ball too. The last time Chad showed up in Buffalo, he led the Jets to a lead but then tried a scramble and Fletcher send him to the sidelines and ultimately to the surgeon (shoulder injury). Chad cannot move and is a staue in the pocket. Key is to rattle him - it can be done. On offense, the Bills strength is the rungame and the jets can't stop it. Hmmmm....pound the ball. The weather may be a factor. Wind and/or rain. Turnovers may wreak havoc on both sides. Does JP have to win this game for us? I don;t think so. We can win with stopping the passing game of the Jets and pounding the ball on offense. -RnJ

The weekend weather is beginning to become clearer as the higher resolution models begin to come into range of the weekend forecast. it is still a little too early to see the event completely but it appears that the longer range models are underestimating the strength of the the leading system and thus underestimating the strength of the front coming through on Saturday. Right now, it looks like the system will strengthen and stall to the north and west of Buffalo . Meanwhile , the ridge to our east also strengthens. If this "damming" takes place, the question becomes where does the moisture line stall? At this time, it looks like it will be east and south of Orchard Park. A dry slot will develop as the storm wraps itself up over Green Bay. Whereever the dry slot is - it will actually warm up a bit! Suffice it to say, this bears watching. The edge of the forecast range extends to Sunday afternoon about this time tomorrow. Right now, I am cautiously optimistic that we might luck out and be sitting in the dry slot. stay tuned.......

Hi everyone, With the weather looking rainy, I have an issue of how to cook up my wings. Unfortunately, I do not own a tarp/tent etc to cook under. Is anyone bringing a tarp (or could bring a tarp) AND can you let me have a spot underneath it to cook my wings? Help! You can reply here or pm me Thanks! -RichNJoisy CNJBBB PS: I already checked with Cindy and she says there is not enough room for me to cook under the TBD Tent.

Friday for the small contingent of the CNJBBB: Duff's Friday We plan to join the TBD this year at Danny's Saturday evening Sunday at Hammer's at 7 am Monday - home to NJ - can't wait to hear the lamenting Jet fans at 1 pm on WFAN

If it rains, will there be any room for me to do some cooking under cover .. meaning the tent area?? I can't cook wings in the rain - the damn thing will splatter all over the place

I have been monitoring the forecast for several days now. Although the models are bouncing around it appears we are looking at a "changeable" weather situation which means some showers......mostly light.... and some breaks in the clouds. Looks like mostly cloudy, scattered showers, high of about 65-69 degrees. Jeans, tee, with a button up Bills shirt, light jacket and raincoat/covering should do you nicely folks. Don't forget to eat some of my wings!!!! -RichNJoisy (meteorologist) CNJBBB

Can you tell me when you'll be handing them to me? Am I correct to assume it will be one five lb bag of frozen wingettes?

There's a reason the Rev and I call him Dier-DORK!!!!

Hi Y'all, A few people have offered to bring along wings for the Tailgate. I am trying to plan purchases on the 23rd. IF you plan to bring wings to add to the CNJBBB cooking planned on the 24th, please PM me or post in this thread. I need to know HOW much you are bringing and WHEN you will be handing me the wings. I will be purchasing wings to cook at the Tailgate on Saturday during the day. It's just me this year - no Mark - but I should be able to keep the wings coming. Go Bills! -RichNJoisy CNJBBB

Thanks for the link And I thought only Bills fans saw these things....... I have learned that if you want the calls, you gotta start winning first with the other team getting them all the time. exceptions: Miami and Dallas - they get the calls regardless of their record

but no helmet ...right???
