If this is scarastic, why? As a "libertarian" (I throw this affliation out only because it is the closest?) I would think that you would want people to decide?... Not some faceless governement.
Or do you think that the polls are wrong, rigged or something else? What are your thoughts?
If it isn't (sacrastic), then great... Polls are great. They sure tell what the people want.

I have never.
I know a guy that goes up to the one in the Dells (Wisconsin) and stays there... Indoor waterpark, log cabiny look, etc...
He claims it is a great place... Laments that the rates are steep, the wife makes him go there (has kids).
Looks like an awesome place!

Here in the east SF bay, 55-60 for the high and about freezing at night. Frost on all the roofs when I get my morning paper. Saw a dusting on the hills about 2 miles away about 5 years ago.
We have had only 1-2 good days of rain so far this rainy season (startes in October). Start of a drought?
That is interesting Wacka. What is it doing up in the Sierra's this year? It seems everytime they get dumped on in the west... Things get mild here. Growing up, I was especially disappointed with some of the mild/late winters in the 1980's. As a younger skier then, it had me dreaming for those Sierra type snows!
Everybody is saying it is supposed to be a warm winter this year back here (east of the MS)... It may be so but, I have a feeling we are gonna get more snow this year. Average for this side of the lake (windward) is 30-40 inches a year.
Warmer temps doesn't mean it isn't gonna snow... Could be hovering around the freezing mark and we will get pounded.
Does anyone know if this a El Neno year or La Nena year?
BTW, it is 9 degrees here and things are freezing fast. It is kinda early to see this kind of freeze. Spells nothing but trouble at work, especially with the days still getting shorter!

Kinda weird... As I was perusing the 1972 season stats, I notice that the NE Patriots really sucked that year (3-11)... One of their 3 wins came against the NFC representative in the SB that year (Washington)... What was the score of that NE-WASH game? You guessed it 24-23!
That's odd?
Now back to your regularly scheduled program.

Wasn't this supposed to be a "Power Running Team"?
Were that the case, they should have been able to run for a TD when everyone in the world knew they were going to do it.
Oh, wait...one needs a line for that, right?
Tricky stupid plays get called, because they (and the opposition) KNOW they can't get 5 yards in the red zone.
Didn't mean to leave you out Bib.
Glad you get something also...

Read the Rochester News post this morning. They are in agreement that it is one of the worst. Ya I guess maybe there were worst but its about right here and right now and nothing since the Kelly era. Maybe that's why it feels so bad. Its only a game and we are only fans.
Those earlier teams had an excuse: They were completely devoid of talent. This team has no excuse, which makes it one of the all-time biggest disappointments.
Again, I have to gracefully disagree.
My post above mentions the 1972 Bills losing to the Dolphins 24-23, the year the Dolphins had a perfect season.
That team had a smilar poor record... The Dolphin's, well you know how their season was and all the hype...
A POOR Bills team gave them their closest scare that year!
Seems how everyone forgets history or they want to make it up as they go.
The most important thing to remember is that both these teams stink. Nobody will remember this game.
-
Not even close to ranking up there!
Speaking of Miami loses through the years... Losing to the Fish in the Orange Bowl by ONE POINT the year Miami had its unbeaten season (1972).
Wasn't that game also 24-23? That Bills team went 4-9-1 in 1972.
Now that hurts!
Agian, this loss is not even close... Both teams SUCK!
-
Is it really about Willis and Willis only (blue part)? I think he gets that it isn't. You claim he is only thinking about himself by smiling and seeming upbeat. The opposite can be proven by what you stated above. He is probably more of a team guy than you think.
See that is where IMO your whole premise is wrong. WMc is good for this team even in the face of its bad coaching decisions.
What good comes out of fueling more player animosity towards the coaching staff?
-
Think how many QB's he had to deal with since coming into the league?
Not on topic but, thought about it since the topic was Moulds. Is he the last player that is connected with any player from the Bills SB era? When he came into the league, Jim kelly was throwing to him.

Just a suggestion... Seems like there is a loophole here where players can step out and then catch it and it may help them.
Why not make it a loss of down penalty and then mark off the yards?... That would be like a grounding penalty?
In the Miami game... The Bills accepted (for obvious reasons)... But, Miami still had third down and two plays to get in, albeit, from 5 yards father away.
-
That is what I was thinking!
At least tommorrow when I put the Christmas lights up... I will be back in a festive mood!
I was bringing in the tree today listening to the Bills collapse... Sure put a damper on things! Having a very, very nice artificial tree sitting in the basement only to hear from my wife: "Why don't we get a real tree for a change this year" sure doesn't help either!

I don't think Bush is bad.
Now Haliburton maybe... Wouldn't you think someone (Haliburton) was bad if they wanted to come in a take your job away? Besides that, I think they are doing one hell of a job.
-
Who do you think I was talking about when I mentioned "threaded views" earlier in the thread?
Even I would have my head shaking in disbelief the needless arguments he would cause by no doing reading through things.
God, I miss the "old board."
-
I don't give a eff... Just becuase I am left, who sez I gotta love? I probably have more hate in me than most people here (okay maybe not AD)... Who really cares? Your first step is REALIZING it.
Sorry, this is one time I am gonna use an elitist 'tude on people. If you don't understand it, why even reply?... Maybe try to figure it out or move on. Why whine that you don't get it? It is just a lame attempt to belittle people. There is a lot of inside jokes and stuff here, so what? This one wasn't even close if they would have read the whole quote (I think from Mickey) and the reply she put out... It isn't rocket science... And especially from long time posters that know who people are and their situations, I expect more. Everyday here is not a new day. You build a feel for who people are on the board and what their experiences are. It is called using your brain... Even if I am half (if you want to call it that)using it.

After reading the story, this is where I say: "Serves him right."
He wanted to be touched? They touched him all right... With a lot of volts packing on his nads!
Actually, I would have gave the taser to the women he propositioned... That would have been really fun to see!
-
Again, thanks... I think the article I read was from a WWII magazine... It was dated at about the 40th anniversary of the incident... So the source was sometime ago.
They really hung him (the captain) out to dry for not "zigging" when he should have been "zagging."
Just think if they would have been nabbed with the atomic bomb parts earlier in their misson? How that could have altered history. We really had a horseshoe wedged up ours at the time!
Interesting is that in 1968 the Indy captain committed suicide by blowing his brains out... One last casualty after 20 years.
-
IMO, I don't really think that is it. They prepare well before the game and tend to do well the first drive or so. It is just that the other team adjusts to it. I don't think that the Bills' brain trust knows how to adjust back.
A serious, very SERIOUS disadvantage. Like someone else said, they are over their heads.

Right on!
10 games is 1/8 of the season. Almost as hard as the Bills going on a 2 game win streak (which is almost impossible!).
Go Sabres!
-
You forgot to mention that the team with the 10 game losing streak just engaged in a major trade (SJ-BOS)... They were bound to snap out of their (SJ) funk and BUF (winning streak) lay a stinker. Which that stinker could be attributed to Noronen who may of broke up Buffalo's rhythm that night.
Like McJeff said... I would prefer to take the first. Or maybe the Sabres heard about bad fish early on Sunday?
-
After taking a 4-1 lead against the Avs, they almost blow it.
Then they pour it on! 6-4 good guys! PP did help... Yet, totally created by their hustle.
Not your run of the mill Bills team!

My wife hears this logic and she is bound to shoot someone... She turns 39 in April.
You really define "pushing" a certain age...
