It helps that this draft may have a very weak group of WRs, unless guys like Ted Ginn come out early. If they do, I fully expect another wideout to be our first round pick. Again.

I think he's more frustrated @ his own hands, Kelly.

Sorry cable, I'm spoken for.

He's not the only one. How dare you insinuate that Eric Moulds isn't the greatest Bill of all time!

That's the best plan I've seen on the Wall in some time.

"My LAMP's better than your LAMP, my LAMP's better than yours..."

I have all but the first 3 minutes of the game on tape. I have the game from Prothro's big TD catch all the way until the end.

Penn State Fan is happy that the team is 5-0, after a few pretty rough years. Kinda like the USC fans got happy once their team went from being sorry for a few years to being what they've become under Pete Carroll. It's natural. My enthusiasm for Penn State is tempered, so I don't go off the deep end. Others may, and that's just how it is. Agreed. The RRS is THE litmus test for the Longhorns. They're helped by the fact that this is a down year for the Sooners, but they still have to deal w/ them and beat them in this game. I'm no fan of Oklahoma, so I admit I'm kinda rooting for Texas to win this year. Agreed again. After seeing both teams in action, I'd love to see those two in a national title game. Here's hoping it works out. Then again, I would've loved to see PSU and Nebraska in a national title game back in '94...

So......we should like a 1-3 start to the season? I'm not saying this team needs an overhaul, but to say "like it or else" is going to the other extreme. I don't like the way the Bills have played, yet I still support them.

I haven't gone to get the torch and pitchfork just yet Adam, but this is a bit disheartening. I mean, to see a team that has a wealth of talent like Buffalo that fails to address the fundamental aspects of the game (like winning the game in the trenches) year in and year out just puzzles me. When they felt we needed a boost to the running game, in came McGahee. When they were tired of struggling w/ young, untested QBs like Collins and RJ, in came Bledsoe. Why our OL has never been the beneficiary of such upgrades is beyond me. I'm still w/ the Bills and will continue to do things like spend nearly 2 grand to attend a game in San Antonio, drive 7 hours each way over a long weekend to attend home games, and shell out over $700 for season tickets, but I sure would love to see them aggressively attempt to address our OL, and, now, our DL.

You're not the only one who was hoping we'd draft a quality player 'there' (I'm not beating a dead horse by saying who are which position....hahaha!!!). My wife has suggested that I just start hoping the Bills select players from other positions, since the guys I hope for are the ones they usually don't go after, anyways. Thurman is doing a bang up job for Cincy. I was up in the air between Odell and Channing Crowder as to which I thought was a better player, but Odell has made the jump to the pros w/ more ease than Crowder has so far. They're putting together quite a solid group of young, talented players on that defense.

Lost in the pages of "Does JP suck or doesn't he?" crap are the real issues for this team.

There's a guy who just did a pretty good job of filling in @ a different position for his team (one manned by a respected veteran, no less) that the Bills passed on. It would be nice to see that guy on our roster.

We're not that kind of message board, sir.

I'd rather see us sign Kent Hull.

Ah, but how does his potential measure up to former bill Erik Flowers?

You'd be hard pressed to find sarcasm from me. You know that.

Sure it does. The numbers don't lie.

I wouldn't. I think Losman should be traded to New Orleans for Donte Stallworth. And a first round pick in '07. That's not too much to ask for.

Jason Peters.

No, not Thailog80.

So you think that JP should continue to start?

I dunno. I see the problem up front being more than just an adjustment here or there. These guys simply aren't getting it done. You and I both have watched the line play closely this year (well, I watch the line play every year, but I digress); do you really think the personnel we have is adequate? I don't. I still see the interior of the line being a weak point, w/ 2 positions we didn't feel we'd be weak in this year (center and right guard) both being liabilities often this year. The one person I do agree w/ the Bills on (Donahoe spoke on this when addressing the Bills fans @ our hotel in San Antonio prior to the Saints game) is Gandy. While I don't feel he's the next Jonathan Ogden, he is doing fairly well @ LT, better than I thought he'd do, for sure. The rest of the guys just haven't looked good. Defensively, again we're seeing less out of the established guys (Sam Adams) and little from the guys expected to come in to contribute (Edwards, Anderson). Schobel is still trying to beat the DEs to the outside, leaving huge holes to his inside that the LBs, w/ Spikes out, aren't as quick to fill. I tend to think that the line's talent is okay, but they haven't gotten the job done so far. Put it this way, I think the DL could benefit more from adjustments than the OL can. The OL simply needs better personnel in my opinion. Schemes can only take them so far.

Sacrifice what? I think that the Bills should stick w/ the decision to go w/ Losman. The guy has not looked very good so far, but what do they think benching him is going to do to make him a better QB?

Ryans is very tough. I thought he was their top LB even last year, when they had Wortham in the LB corps also. Roach is pretty solid as well. Prothro's injury is a major setback. Too bad; he was tearing up Florida. The guy I like is Kenneth Darby. He has really looked good running the ball, breaking tackles and showing the burst to make big plays out of small ones. Shula is okay, but the guy who has really turned things around for 'Bama is Joe Kines, the defensive coordinator. It's been through the resurgent D that the Tide has made their comeback.
