India is the new HOT spot for call centers. They pay like $1/hr, and it costs minimal to set these centers up. Virtually all the telephone solicitation calls I get at home are from India, especially the new credit card calls. They caller sits there and stamers for 10-20 seconds trying to pronounce my last name. What a joke

That's my thought exactly. Neither QB is good enough, with this roster, to take you beyond that record. We may be stuck at a mediocre record until or if Losman becomes a capable QB. If that takes 2-3 more years like it took Brees, then half or more of the current roster will be gone due to cap and age. We could be stuck in a period of re-building for the next couple years. By re-building I mean from 9-7 to the next step of say 13-3

Better yet, a division with Buffalo with SF, StL, AR & Seattle. 4-0 this year
-
You know with JP it is probably going to take him 2-3 years of playing to develop before we make a serious run. By then a lot of the players on this club will be past their prime and we will be re-building still or again. Drew is my choice, as in Brees. SD may still keep him, but it would be great to be able to get him. However, I'm sure the Bills are now committed to JP until he either makes it or is a bust.

Flutie had 2 TD's yesterday. If he was here, we'd be playing the Colts next weekend.
Just kidding!!!!

I went to the Amerks game last week at HSBC. $125 for 8 tickets and parking. The tickets included a hot dog, popcorn, and pop. It was an OK game, although offensive talent is lacking. Still, not a bad deal when considering $125 would get me only 2 Sabre tickets.
6 weeks until Nascar too
-
I'm sure when they bought those tickets 2-6 months ago it wasn't a meaningless game.
Here is what I would like to know. Don't home teams send a number of tickets to the visiting team for them to sell to their fans willing to travel? I know at one time they did, but I'm not sure that practice is current. My point is if we sent 10-20,000 tickets to Pittsburgh, well we shouldn't have done that
Felt like I was at a Sabres-Leafs game, outnumbered............
-
How many tickets did they send to Pittsburgh? Had to be 20,000 Steeler fans at the game. In 204 I was really outnumbered. Felt like a Sabre fan at a Leafs game. The Bills shouldn't sell that many tickets to the opponent, keep the "home field" addvantage intact. God, I would have loved to hit the Steeler fan behind me too. Cocky SOB.....

Hell yeah! I believe Lindell's miss was one of the major turning points of the game. Was it the only clutch kick he was asked to make all year?
This was one game where you needed Drew to show up and win it. "D" gets a TD, and Willis does the first TD all by himself. Drew does nothing until Pitt goes prevent. Bledsoe won't get it done next year, and with basically a rookie in JP, we will struggle next year to again make playoffs. That's a shame with almost the whole roster returning

Buff News said this morning Steelers had no sacks the last 3 games. No doubt we WILL be tested though
-
Weather.com say 47 with 20mph winds, rain thoughout the game. Wind chill about 35. I'm leaving West Seneca for the game in a little bit

You know the Bills are in good shape, with just Pat W and Jennings the only key players that are UFA's. I think Pat W can be signed reasonably and I would think he wants to stay here with his auto detailing business. Jennings is a tough one. In my mind, he is like a slightly better than average LT who fights injury problems. So I would not want to spend a lot of money on him. Still, to upgrade the position to a Pace or Jones would cost a fortune in cap space. This is where Tom D gets to show his football smarts

Yeah and after I am done working for free maybe I will poke self in eye with a stick. Useless Air has gone to new extremes. But wait dont most of us who are salaried employess work for free anyways? When was last time you worked a 40 hour work week and did work on nights, weekends and during vacations.
I like your view, Spidey. When my company was sold, we had to conduct a physical inventory. Of course it was to start after first shift Friday, and go thru the weekend until it was done. Of course, being salary, I got "drafted" for this pleasure. So we have a handful of warehouse people, mostly to run fork-lifts, and a lot of salary people counting. Some of the salary people, it was the first time they ever got close to our product. They were no help. Management wanted salaried people for this as they got their inventory done for free. Didn't have to pay any one. 30 hours later we were done. The CFO called from home every hour for like the last 12 hours, "are you done yet?"
You know what I remember most? I'm in a warehouse aisle with a hourly guy. I'm counting like crazy because I want to get out of there. The other guy pulls out a box of like 5,000 one cent parts. The whole box is worth $50. He sits down in the aisle, dumps the box on the floor, and starts counting one at a time. I tell him to weigh measure them, it will be done instantly. He says he doesn't care, he's getting a ton of OT $$$. 30 minutes later he is still counting, I call over to him "what time is it? He says 10:15, and resumes counting 1016, 1017, 1018, 1019............I thought to myself, OMG, I'm never getting out of here

No I wouldnt work for free. And US Air shouldnt ask people to work for free. They should fold up and go bankrupt if they cant pay their employees.
I have been screwed over so many times by companies asking me to go above and beyond only to be screwed later. So screw corp. America, they have shown no loyalty to the American worker so screw them !
Amen, SDFan. Here's my whole problem with the corporate attitude, and I experienced it first hand working for a Tyco subsidiary, the epitome of greed. Corporate America wants you to suffer in the bad times, which most of us can understand. But Corp Am won't share with you in the good times either, and still tries to keep you down. So when a company like USAir says help me, that's why workers say "screw off". Still, the kicker is that it can come back at you if the airline folds and you loose everything. Corporate-Labor high stakes poker

You're 1/2 right. The Galleria did in the Thruway mall. But the Galleria does have the "element". A lot of kids with "attitudes" there

Call me paranoid, but I think that it was meant ever so slightly scold me for my refusal to toe the "Travis is Great" line.
Also, there have been debates on TSW as to what TH would bring us in a possible trade. Speculation has ranged from a top 5 pick (and I kid you not) to his flat out release.
I am in the middle and would hope for a 5th rounder.
OK, that's fair. I would say a 3rd rounder tops. He hasn't played in a year basically, has some injury history & smaller backs careers go quicker. With free agency, why trade much of anything when you can sign for free whoever you want

How many TD catchs would Moulds have if he played on the Colts?
-
I don't understand the whole purpose of this thread. The Bills are playing great one game from the playoffs, and you bring up TH? How many games did the Bills go without a running TD before Willis came in? What was it, 10, or 14 or some number like that. If TH can get a lot more yards with NE, Willis could get 1,000 more than him, if you want to speculate. And the fact is, TH DOESN'T play with NE, and had his chance to do it here. He didn't. Willis steps in with the same cast, and racks up the yards. If Willis started the whole season, he may have more yards than Dillon. Maybe then people in Boston papers would say, "if Dillon played for Buffalo, how many yards would he have?".
What were you looking to accomplish with this thread?
-
Rams at home against the Jets without their best pass rusher, Abraham. StL could do it for this game. It won't be easy for either team though.
Does Indy have anything to play for against Denver? I suppose if they win, they go play a lower seeded team
Don't overlook this Steeler team, I don't see Cowher as the type to roll over. Bills are REALLY going to be tested Sunday
-
This thread made me realize the same thing. How can we remember this stuff, and I have to re-play Bills games Sunday night so I can recall what happened in the afternoon? I'd like to think I'm still a little young for being senile

I thought I've seen in business articles that a lot of IT jobs are going to India also. Cheaper to pay these guys than USA programmers
