  1. Not that I necessarily disagree, but it seems as though I heard this same thing before the last 4 years started.

     

    The Bills since the Bledsoe era started have been schizophrenic.  2003 and 2004 saw us be called both offensive juggernauts (with SB possibilities), and "the worst offensive team in the league".  2002 never saw us reach either of those plateaus, but was still a tale of two halves.

     

    There has never been a season in which the offense hasn't had at least 6 bad games...Tough to imagine us winning 12 unless something changes.

    Egggggggg-sactly.

     

    Until MAJOR changes are made on O, this team is going to struggle to sniff 10 wins let alone 12.

  2. Hmm.... I saw a Jets Kicker miss 2 opportunities to win a game. The Steelers did little to impresss me. They won a game NOBODY wanted to win.

     

    Steelers almost choked in the post season again, which is standard for them during the Cowher era . I'll believe it  when the hoist the Lombardi Trophy.

     

    That was a terrible game.

    All around horrible for me.

     

    I'm depressed tonight. Now I get to hear another week of Squeeler and Iggle sh---talk.

  3. You must have finished your second six pack by now to think we'll be no better than 8-8 next year.  When you sober up you'll see 12-4 or better.

    206727[/snapback]

     

    That's rich. Tell me how this team, without a real QB, witha horrible kicker, with an OL that is barely passable and a head coach who'd rather throw a pass THREE YARDS BEHIND THE LOS than run one yard to pick up the first is going to go 12-4.

  4. Yup! I guarantee you we won't bother to draft Nugent. I also guarantee you that we will be stuck with Lindell next year... and Drew + Rian = 6 straight seasons with no playoffs.

    206709[/snapback]

     

    Exactly. The morons running this team will leave the league's most ineffective QB behind center, not get any help on the OL, NOT replace the kicker, etc...

     

    Buncha stiffs, I tell you.

  5. How is Big Ben better than Drew? That was the worst playoff performance I've seen in a long time. Yes, he's a rook, but that was pathetic. His team won in spite of him.

    206721[/snapback]

     

    A team featuring many players NOT drafted by TD.

  6. Why?

    We beat the Jets this year without a quarterback next year, we will have one. :w00t:

    206713[/snapback]

     

    Meh, I'm just fuming at their choking still.

     

    There's NO WAY they should have lost that last week of the year. NO WAY.

     

    Oh, wait, DB and inept offensive playcalling killed them.

     

    *grumbles obscenities about Drew Bledsoe's mother*

  7. You do realize that Whisenhunt's playcalling, which relied on Big Ben airing it out is the one thing that kept the Jets in the game, right?

    206700[/snapback]

     

    Well, that and the inability to tackle on special teams by Shittsburgh.

     

    This was a lose-lose game for me. Jets win, I hate it. Squeelers win, I hate it. My only hope is that the Colts win and come in to Shittsburgh and kick the living hell out of them.

  8. 1.  To "lie" requires intent.  One is not a liar if one is incorrect in good faith.  Many people were wrong in this situation, both domestically and abroad.  To label them liars is self-serving, unless you actually can read minds.

     

    2.  Just because something does not exist now, doesn't mean it never existed.  In this case, the UN documented the existence of massive quantities of WMD after Gulf War I.  Iraq was supposed to coordinate the disposal of those through the UN Inspection Team precisely for tracking purposes.  They did not do that.  They claimed they were destroyed, but never offered proof.  What SHOULD concern people most is that there are large quantities of WMD that used to be in Iraq and now have proven not to be.  Hopefully, they really were destroyed, but without proof, it is quite possible they were not, and are now in some unknown threat's hands.

     

    That's how people should logically look at this.  Unfortunately, politics on both sides generally does not allow it.

    204592[/snapback]

     

    Bingo!

     

    Those weapons simply did not disappear, nor were they destroyed. They're in Syria, or possibly even Iran. Anyone with half an ounce's worth of commn sense knows that.

     

    Saddam thought he could survive this, so he had his baathist cousins next door take care of his toys for him.

  9. Agreed.  A park along the water doesn't cost a lot to build, and surely doesn't cost anything to tear down.  It also isn't a constant empty reminder of wasted tax dollars.  There is always demand for a nice park.  Is there any demand in Buffalo for more housing along the waterfront?  Take the $300m and knock down all the old vacant factories along the water and throughout Western NY and build parks.  This is just another in a long line of spending disasters in the Buffalo area.

    Parks cost money to be maintained, too.

     

    They should have built a new stadium along the waterfront.

  10. A faint but important difference: all three countries involved (Germany, Italy, Japan) were returning to a democratic form of government.  The populace didn't have to be forced into it, rather they were forced out of it.

    204502[/snapback]

     

    Neither Germany nor Japan were exceedingly democratic in nature. Hell, Germany had only been a democracy for what, 15-20 yeard before Hitler?

     

    Italy I can see, though.

  11. I think a more likely danger is another takeover by the Baath party. In any event, these are realities you just have to live with in the post-colonial world. What should the US do? Go back on it's word and refuse to leave when asked? Reinvade if what emerges is not to it's liking?

    204489[/snapback]

     

    The Shiites (and I can't believe I'm saying this) God help them, would never let that happen. What I forsee is what should be....a Shiite dominated non-democratic country.

     

    I am the first to admit that I was wrong about the capabilities of Iraqis in particular and Arabs in general to accept and embrace freedom. They were given a chance and turned to the same old same old....Terrorism. So yeah, we leave, they set up their own little muslim fiefdom, and we get to bomb the hell out of them for decades to come.

     

    All because the average Iraqi didn't have the guts or brains to appreciate freedom.

  12. Maybe he turned them into magic beans.  There are a hundred different scenarios one can imagine that would explain the vanishing WMD's.  Without proof however, you are into Area 51 territory.  They have been looking for proof of just what you suggest and, I beleive, come up entirely empty.  Besides, these people aren't known for their restraint.  If they had them, God help us, they would use them.

    In your enlightened view, what are the odds they're in Syria?

  13. If you knew anything at all (and I mean ANYTHING) about the Republican Party you would know that we aren't against raising taxes.  Reagan was responsible for THE LARGEST TAX INCREASE IN US HISTORY.  He raised taxes 5 different times between 80-88.

     

    Like I said I'm a Reagan Republican not a Bush Republican.

    203905[/snapback]

     

    That's rich. Funny how Reagan authored the single largest TAX CUT in US history as well.

     

    One of the CENTRAL platforms of the Republican party is cutting taxes and smaller government.

     

    I'm beginning to think that you're a Reagan DEMOCRAT.

     

    There is a big difference.

     

    You actually advocated a tax of 1.8% some-odd percentof our GDP. Are you INSANE?!? Do you realize how HUGE a number that is and what a crippling effect it would have on our economy?

     

    What is NOT needed is tax raises. What IS needed is a reduction in government programs (Dept of Ed, OSHA, EPA, Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, etc... etc...)
