yall

I like how the guy who wrote the 'bit' calls Manning a "fraud". I wonder if he still feels that way (the article or blog or whatever it was, had been posted here a while ago, before Manning had all of those 5 TD games...) ? At any rate, Bledsoe's numbers basically tell me he is the second best QB, NE ever had. He was decent in his prime. He is no longer in his prime.

yall at work - not logged in... since we are at home, drew. if this was a road game, rj. edit: oops, guess i was logged in!

Alot of stores have had their shipment for a day or two already. I think MS/Bungie want to make sure they can get as many copies out the door on day 1.

I bought EQ. Twice actually, and could never really get into it. Funny this is, I love RPG's and D&D style games.

With 1.5 million copies pre-ordered or reserved, its probably true. I've been told the EB at the Galleria plans to be open until about 3 am to handle all of the expected traffic at midnight madness. Jack Astors will be the waiting room, and I've heard they will call numbers deli-style. I'll be at the EB games in the Union Rd. Plaza (Circuit City, Buca de beppo) at about 11 pm. I even took Tuesday off from work. All that being said, Half-Life 2 may turn out to be the better overall game, considering the power of the graphics engine, the supposed quality of the single player experience (PC Gamer calls it the best game ever, and they usually get things right...) and of course the mods. That doesn't take away from the fact that Halo 2 might be the game that really brings the on line FPS multiplayer experience to the masses and will likely be somewhat revolutionary for that. According to EVERYONE that had the chance to play Halo 2 multiplayer, it is nothing short of spectacular. See you online Tuesday morning at about 12:15 am!

Well, since Halo 2 will be available at midnight on Monday, and Half Life 2 won't be on store shelves until Wednesday, the 17th, (unless you purchase it via Steam, which is Valve's online software "store"), so if you plan on getting both, it is really a no brainer. As far as KillZone goes, initial reports are that it is merely okay. Not a Halo 2 killer at all...

Just wondering if anyone knew, because someone at work told me that it had been sold out. Thanks!

Exactly why I plan on running for assembly in '06.

For those of you who care to read the rest of the article, please note that this time unions and the dems are responsible.

"Boy I sure do..." (Said in Harry Carey voice) Seriously though, I do think we have a legitamate shot at 3-4 with the wounded Ravens and the Cards on the horizon. That being said, could that be enough to build on and salvage the season?

Sounds good to me!

The boxes?

I laughed my a$$ off at those parts.

I find it interesting that he has not been promoted yet. Are they looking to fill Shaw's roster spot from outside of the club?

Thanks all!

Hi Gang, Is the game truly sold out, or will more tickets be released soon? Does anyone know when the extras are released? Thanks!

.. stevestojan. Did anyone happen to read his article today about the "whine"? While I happen to agree with almost everything his "buddy" said, am I supposed to believe this is a real conversation that took place? If so, Sullivan is a first class a-hole for spouting those opinions as his own the last 2 days. I mean if those really are his friends quotes, Sullivan has been saying the very same things, verbatim, on WGR. On the other hand, if this is a completely made up conversation, it should be presented as such. What I mean is, if Sullivan want to opine on the Bills, try not to convince your readers that other people feel the same way as you by making up conversations that seem lend popular support to your opinions.

So I guess as an Irishman I should be offended by Notre Dame's mascot as it portrays the Irish as drunk and beligerent? These flakes need to piss off. So what if they are offended. Its a rough world out there and if the name of a sports team pisses you off, you're going to have a hard time with some of the other curve balls life will throw at you.

I wouldn't even give him that (assuming that he occasionaly has a pocket). When Bledsoe tries to move it conjurs an image of a loony toons character as they first start to run, feet moving rapidly, but no actual progress. If he can get his throws back on track we may be ok.

Thanks for responding with your thoughts. While I agree that the talent RJ had is less than what Bledsoe has, I think RJ may have had a better line. Both QB's have decent arms, with RJ probably being a bit more accurate (from memory anyway) on the shorter passes. RJ did have mobility where Bledsoe does not, but RJ seemed to get himself injured a lot because of his poor use of mobility and poor awareness. Bledsoe has terrible awareness also, but is less fragile. Two things I find that both of the share is that they both seem to be decent, likeable fellows (although RJ got a real bad rap in WNY) and neither of them seem to be able to effectively read a defense.

1 & 2. My quote about the thesaurus was directed at you, but was merely a joke, thus the smiley face. 3. The apology for redundancy was for taterhill who complained about this information being posted before. I'm just not good a doing multiple quotes. It had nothing to do with you. 4. I agree that over the course of his career, Bledsoe is a much better QB, but as a Bill, I'm having a hard time convincing myself that he has much gas left in the tank. 5. I'm not surprised, notice the "as usual" remark. I am disappointed though. I was hoping a discussion (heated or otherwise) would ensue. Instead it was a bunch of one liners that contributed nothing to the conversation/dialogue.

Wow, someone owns a thesaurus! If the search function was enabled, I'm sure I would have seen that someone has posted this before. I apologize for the redundancy. Also, if the search function was enabled, you would see that I have defended not only Drew, but RJ, back in the day. I just wanted an honest comparison between the last 2 Bills quarterbacks. When I found that the numbers were very similar, I started to wonder about the reasons behind the numbers. However, in typical TDB fashion, an honest inquiry is met with derision.

Is that the best you can do? I mean I understand supporting Bledsoe, but when you see how similar the numbers are, isn't a comparison fair? Like I said before, I can't do too much research here at work, so if you disagree with me, that is fine. But please try and back up your discontent with my post with some numbers, and not some stupid quip about bandwidth. Like, for example, what was RJ's win-loss record as a starter? After all that's what matters most right?

... same as the old boss? rj with buffalo: 30 games 27 td's 17 ints 110 sacks 7 lost fumbles drew with buffalo: 34 games 37 td's 28 ints 111 sacks 15 lost fumbles win loss - 14 - 20 (for Drew, don't know RJ's off-hand) I can't say that these are 100% accurate as I'm doing this at work with a calculator, but there are a lot of statistical similarities. Anyone know RJ's win loss record? More importantly, what does this mean? Are they both bad QB's? Has the O-Line been a problem for this long? Are our receivers overrated?
