  1. Wm showed some serious potential today.  As I mentioned in another thread, his ability to make the first guy miss and pop out of a pile for an extra couple of yards was impressive- and fun to watch.

     

    Too early to say for sure, but he just might end up making Donahoe look pretty frickin' shrewd.

    One can only hope that next year we're saying the ame about Losman.

  2. I'm glad you brought up Edge.  It reminded me of Edge's NFL debut vs Bills.  They had him bottled up for 3 solid quarters, but he just kept on going and somehow ended up with 130 yds and a W.

     

    Can someone please help me understand how people were complaining that Bills have been a 3Q team this year, and now that they finally turn it on in 4Q, there are still negativie ninnies?

    I think Willis' debut was entirely too long in the making. Kdos to Willis. You made me a believer.

  3. Speaking from experience....when you enlist in the Armed forces you generally sign up for a term of EIGHT YEARS.

     

    Yes, ladies, that's EIGHT years regardless of wheter or not you're slated to serve 2 3 or 4 active. SO the government has EVERY RIGHT to say to the private who's in year FOUR of an 8 year enlistment..."Sorry, son, but you owe us 4 more."

     

    There's no "backdoor draft" just an adherence to the rules.

  4. Check the interactive map at the LA Times, you have to register but it is for free and it has all the latest state by state polls updated daily.  Some of what you say would have been correct two weeks ago but not now.  Ohio, Wisconsin, Iowa, and Arkansas have moved significantly.  Minnesota and Pa are not that close.  By the same token, despite closing the gap, I think Fla. is a Bush state for now and I don't think Kerry is going to get an upset in Arizona or Nevada, maybe New Mexico but probably not.  Maine, NH and Iowa are toss ups. and based on the latest and greatest, that is where it will be decided but that will all change with tommorow's numbers, right?

     

    The national poll that has been the most favorable to Bush is the Gallup poll which at one point had him up 13 points.  That changed fast after the debates and by 10/10 they had Kerry up by 1.  Not much but huge considering where he was.

    The real problem with Kerry though is that he may have hit his zenith and though arguably ahead, he has almost no room to slip without losing.  Bush doesn't have to hit a home run to win, a double will do.  Kerry needs at least a triple.

    You'd best check on PA again as well as NJ.

     

    PA is a statistical dead heat and there's a VERY good chance it'll go for Bush.

     

    The entire state outside of Philly and Pittsburgh is Bush country. He came close in 2000 and may take it in 2004.

  5. If you're from NYS, there's no shame in rooting for a NYS baseball team.  Might as well be the Yanks.  And take solace in the fact that the vast majority of Patsy fans are diehard Sox fans who will take some questionable officiating-aided SB wins as a consolation prize.

    I see a team with CLASS players like Jeter and A-Rod, Matsui and Bernie Williams. They're impossible not to root for.

     

    Especially when my chosen baseball team has losers like Bobby Abreu and Jimmy Rollins playing on it. Thanks, but no thanks.

     

    And as for the Bills, well we all know what a disaster this season's gonna be. Especially after they lose this week.

    :blink:

  6. We took the lead in the 4th quarter against an undefeated team, in front of a sell-out crowd, in their house.  We had the ball at mid-field as time ran out.

     

    Posey's pick was a big play. Followed by a good offensive set.  Followed by a good defensive set. Followed by another good offensive set.

     

    We needed another big play, but our D and ST didn't deliver.

     

    Look, we made big plays in the 4th.  Not enough, but they were there.  252 total yards is a freaking joke. But that's not lack of desire, that's lack of experience and talent on today's O-line, and a suspect gameplan by Clements.

    OK, then how do you account for opening week, week two and the PAtsie game?

     

    In each of those games, we had a shot in the 4th. In each of those games, wither the O or the D came up small and cost us the game.

     

    This team has fully embraced the Bengal way. They perpetuate losing with their utter lack of discipline and smart play. And their failure breeds more failure.

  7. You are just letting your dissappointment with the Bills cloud your judgment. The Dolphins have a worse line, could possibly be coming to town with Sage Rosenfelds at the helm and they are on their 4th RB of the year and they have no kicker.

     

    There is no way they match up with us offensivly. Any reasonable  person has to admit that.

    Maybe I am, but I don't think it's too unreasonable to think this team will fail. I mean, come on, they've won 14 games over the last 2 1/4 seasons.

  8. What makes you say they WILL lose to Miami AT HOME?

     

    Come on. Have you even WATCHED Miami play this year? They are terrible. We may be bad, but we aren't MIAMI bad.

    Until this game:

     

    3 TDs in 38 posessions.

     

    Miami still has a good defense. And their offense is on a similar level of toxic putridity as ours.

     

    So I give them the edge, YES.

  9. They MIGHT beat Miami.

     

    OTOH, a loss to Miami increases the chances that this team could be the most disappointing team in Bills' history.

    Like I said before, this team WILL lose to Miami.

     

    And that just kills me. I don't even get angry any more. I just accept it's going to happen and accept reality. They are a team that can never win because of who they ARE.
