Where was your son at the time? jk

Now unlike the Tucker for Teague substitution, this should make a very big difference even though PP is not a great Safety. Definitely won't be any worse than Wire.

Loss productivity from Fantasy Football, what about loss productivity from TBD?

Funny, if there's one team worse than Buffalo, its Miami.

Bills finally put it together and limit dumb mistakes: Bills 24 Jets 13

...and we suck? I hope there's an end to this tragedy.

Well there you go stevestojan. See, there is no downgrade. They all suck.

Still don't think that was such a bad call, I would have done it on 3rd down, but it wasn't a terrible call. Just think if everyone would have picked up their blocks, we'd be praising MM and that call right now. As for the original question, you have to give MM a season at least. As I said earlier, he has a 5 year contract he's not going anywhere for awhile.

Since when did this guy become an all pro that we're screwed now? Preseason every was saying what the fug are we keeping him for, he has a decent preseason and now he's an all pro? I don't get it. Yes, Tucker is a bit of a downgrade, but I wouldn't go so far as to say we're screwed.

Tucker will start for him. Wasn't half the board bichin' about Teague? No they get to see what it would be like with someone else in there.

I'd love to know just who their sources are.

We gave a bonehead like Williams 3 years, I'll give Mularkey more than 3 games. Besides he's got a 5 year deal, he's here for awhile.

I'm hoping Cards win too. Only because they've always been one of my favorites behind the....(gulp)...Mets.

They already expect the Jets and Pats to meet as undefeated teams in a few weeks. They are already asking Edwards about that scenario. There's nothing that pisses me off more than when a team is getting overlooked; even moreso when its our Bills. I know most of you are down on this team, but for some reason I feel real good about this week. I would love to take the Jets off the ranks of unbeatens. GO BILLS!

Apparently almost anyone on TBD.

Actually I'm more optimistic that this can be turned around now than after the Raiders loss. Its mostly just dumb mistakes now, but what does worry me is what happened to the defense. They are giving up way too many big plays.

Possibly Baker in at SS, Wire is just flat out BAD. Mix up the RB's a little, get McGahee in for about 5-8 carries a game. QB we are stuck with DB until at least JP gets a couple weeks of practice in. Other than that there is not much you can do, they just have get their heads in the game and eliminate penalties.

0-0 Tie and all starters break their legs on both teams.

I have been a Sullivan basher, but the last couple of columns have been pretty accurate.

Great optimistic post! Keep it up, this board could use some optimism. There seem to be very few of us that see the team actually beginning to make strides.

Agree Todd, except for the Bootleg call on a critical down. Bledsoe said they were leaving him alone after the hand off all day, so why try it on 4th, MM could just as easily tried it on third and hopefully it would have ended at least without the fumble, then we still have 4th. I just don't like gadget plays on 4th downs. When the game was over, I wasn't devestated like most people on this board are. I was actually okay with it, I thought we made strides. The O moved the ball, special teams played great. The stupid penalties killed us again, hopefully that can be fixed. If anything I was disappointed with the Defense, they can't continue to give up huge plays! What was it 3rd and 35 results in a 40 yeard pass, another 30 yard TD - I think that was third down. The D plays great then just falls apart when they need to step up. I think we're almost there and it will start with a victory against the Jests... I hope...

Honestly, I believe it is possible to win those 5 games, I agree with you there. But realistically, a lot of the mistakes that caused us to lose the first three will continue. They are not just going to stop all of a sudden, they'll gradually get less and less. Although, I do see us beating the Jests and 'Phins. I see us at the halfway mark at 3-5 which isn't very good, but that does mean 3-2 in our next 5. God I hope I'm right.

That rule, I understand. Because when the whistle blows players start to let up, so not everyone is going for a loose ball that normally would. My problem is the referees are too quick on the whistle a lot of the time.

I always thought that too. I mean its great when it happens to the other team but I never understood that rule.
