I think people are more focusing on positions where we have nothing, like TE, or on positions where it is painfully obvious that we need an upgrade, like DE and OLB. After trading to get Stroud and w/ the situation the Bills have in regard to the DEs and OLBs, it would seem foolhardy to go after another DT before addressing DE, TE, or OLB.

Yeah....c'mon man!

Sadly, no.

I think I get the point on this one. I think the point was that they'd shell out bucks to overpay guys like Chris Kelsay but wouldn't shell out bucks to keep a guy like Clements nor would they go out and spend the bucks on a high priced free agent like Hutchinson or like Julius Peppers could be (but probably won't; I still think Carolina will re-sign him).

For going through what you and other long time fans have gone through, there is only one person to truly blame.

As the dead horses are of you.

Coach, it's probably better if you just grasp this concept instead of fighting it: The Buffalo Bills don't give a rat's a** what you think in terms of how they run their franchise.

Which way: A. The ZERO turnovers he had? or... B. The 7-11 for 89 yds, 1 TD when his team absolutely needed it? The guy didn't look great for the entire game, but he also didn't cost his team a win by turning the ball over. I can only wish any of our QBs would play the same way.

The downward spiral continues. What a mess this team has become. Losman turned the ball over 4 times in the final quarter. That's unacceptable. He's a veteran who should know better than to not only hold onto the ball for way too long as he did on the fumble return for a TD, but also to lose it. It's ridiculous that our players seem ill prepared on nearly a weekly basis. As for the offense, they weren't anything special. Again. Too many missed opportunities (Marshawn, can you catch the ball?). That's the story of the Bills. Brad Butler was awful, but I actually saw some good things out of Duke Preston. I'm not kidding here. He held his own for the most part. Peters was adequate and so was Dockery (though I did see him whiff on a block early in the game). See? Some good things, some bad things. Average. Defensively, the Bills were once again okay. Nothing special. I'm sensing a recurring theme here. Sure, they kept the scoring down and gave the offense opportunities to get back into the game, but they also had their share of blunders. I saw blitzers who actually ran INTO blocks instead of shooting the gaps. I saw linebackers (Posluszny, who has steadily been disappointing me, a diehard PENN STATE fan, for most of the season) barely hitting people and gently bringing them down on the few occasions when they could bring 'em down. I saw defensive backs afraid to make a play on the ball, so they sat back in soft zones, waiting for the receivers to catch the ball so they could tackle them for a 7 yard gain. They looked........soft. To further show how this team has spun their wheels for the past few seasons, Brian Moorman once again looks like the best player on the team. It's great, but it's also sickening. As for the coaching.....c'mon now! I've seen enough. Jauron hasn't seemed to progress @ all since being hired. He makes the same bad coaching decisions over and over. As many times as this team has blown timeouts, be it by losing obvious challenges or just not getting the plays in timely, nothing has changed. They still do these things on a weekly basis. No improvement. They still do little in the way of play calling to keep defenses honest. This is why Marshawn and Fred Jackson are swarmed by defenders as soon as they touch the ball. EVERYONE knows where they plays are going! And the one time where being conservative was actually helping the team, they break away from it and try a boneheaded play that cost them the game. It is unacceptable. The Bills are good @ one thing: they can rip the hearts out of their fans' chest better than any team in all of professional sports. Nobody can, as the cliche goes, snatch defeat from the jaws of victory the way the Bills can. They seem to revel in it, as they continue to find new and inventive ways to accomplish this. I just wonder how much I can take. I bought UB season tickets this past season, and they were a much better bargain than Bills season tickets. They also were more competitive. I got to attend 3 UB games, 2 of which went to overtime (they split 'em) and one which they won on the last play of the game in dramatic fashion. Great times. I guess I was lucky to have picked my Bills games this year. I attended 3 home games and 1 road game, and they won 2 of the home games (opener vs Seattle, San Diego) plus the road game (St. Louis) while losing one home game (Cleveland on Monday night). Luckily, I didn't pick any division games to attend nor did I go w/ an early instinct and attend the Arizona road game. That would've been disgusting. I'm wondering what is going to happen to the UB ticket prices now that they've won the Mid American Conference title. If the ticket prices increase to where I'll have to make a choice of either UB or Bills season tickets, I may have one tough decision to make. No matter what though, I'll remain a fan. I've been through so much in nearly 30 years of following this team that it's hard for me to consider not rooting for them. Still, I can only hope that the team is getting just as sick of the constant disappointment as I am and are finally ready to do something 'bout it. I'll say this much though; a 3 year extension doesn't scream "We're ready to turn things 'round" to me. I'll still hope that the team rethinks things and considers whether they need to make changes. I think they do, 'cause 3 years of "same as it ever was" should be enough, shouldn't it?

They are, for some reason, bitter in the state of Texas?

Ah yes; from back in the day when she had some nice curves. She was on Letterman's show last week; man, does she look like a crackhead supermodel now. What a waste.

Crazay, ain't it?

Sure, if you like the view from Section 2952, Row VVVVVV, Seats 850-900 of the parking lot annex. As of now, Ravens PSLs range from $750 up to $8,000. They are all sold. The PSL wait list is also sold out. Ravens season ticket prices range from $450 up to $1,100.

8 is greater than 7 What else do you need? Sheesh.

Well.....the think is, Jaws is very good @ breaking down game film; the "class of the field", as you say. Aside from that, he's no better than any other talking head, which is why I don't tune into Monday Night Football very often. Just like w/ Solomon Weelcots, less is more.

Nah. That makes entirely too much sense.

Fixed it for ya.

The kid from Arkansas, Johnathan Luigis, is pretty good. Louisville has a guy named Eric Wood who has looked good this year too. I don't hear OU's Jon Cooper mentioned up there w/ Mack, Luigis, or Wood, but I think he's a really good prospect as well. Heck, even if they wait a few rounds, they could still get a really good guy like A.Q. Shipley of PENN STATE.

I thing I understand.

Now that would be a nice road trip.

You shouldn't.

That sucks.

Can't argue that.

I said that?

Hey rev, you're preaching to the choir again. We've discussed the "good OL (pun intended) days" before. Many times. I'd love to see this team strong up front on both sides of the ball also.
