While this may have been true of Byrd in his first 2 years, I think he's improved tremendously in run support the last 2. I remember one play in particular where a back was coming at him in open space. Byrd coiled and sprang out at him in a move that reminded me of a cobra strike, taking the guy's legs out completely. This year I think he's finally put the 2 sides together (I think the int numbers fell off when he concentrated on run support initially).

Is this Drew Brees?

"Fear" was his word. I said I didn't want to lose my seniority when it came time for playoff/super bowl tickets.

My instinct tells me to pass on this 3rd and 1. My instinct tells me to punt from mid-field with 3:30 left in the game. My instinct tells me not to give CJ the ball more than 15 times. My instinct tells me that we can't run if the defense puts 8 in the box.

It's time the coaching staff took a lesson from George Costanza: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=p54xa77U7is

Gotta be uncomfortable when wearing a cup.

It's "hard" to win in the NFL.

So last night I decided to watch the recording I made of the Grinch last year, and was disappointed to see that it followed a basketball game that went long meaning I didn't get the entire show. Depressed, I did a search to see when it would be on this year. Search result came back that it was starting in 12 minutes! So I set it to record and boom I got the whole thing. Cue Twilight Zone music...

Don't worry - we'll adjust at halftime. Oh, wait...

whoa...

I'm betting it was Gilchrist

I believe we are still living with the consequences of this action. The unceremonious dumping of 3 of the best players this league has ever seen. Buffalo went from a desirable destination for players & coaches to being the NFL's figurative (if not literal) Siberia. Having to completely over-pay marginal players to come here in free agency. High draft picks playing out their initial contracts to get away via free agency (if not forcing a trade before then). The Butler/Donahoe/Levy/Brandon/Nix carousel at GM making draft blunder after draft blunder. Retread coaches or middling coordinators put in charge of the team on the field. All of this eroding the fan-base.

It didn't take much thought to say "no". Difficult is not the word I would use. Difficult means hard-to-do. It's not hard for me to be a Bills fan - takes no effort at all really. It's pretty much ingrained in me and has been a big part of my life since I was old enough to remember. I think it would be difficult for me NOT to be a Bills fan. A word I would use instead would be frustrating. Draining. Maybe even painful. Those of us who have been through one or more of the "up" times (mid 60s, mid 70s, early 80s, most of the 90s) remember just how euphoric those periods are. It's almost like gambling - the hope of another payoff like those keeps us coming back, even through the pain of loss. And like gambling, you find ways to make those losses less painful. You bet less until it turns around. You curse the "gods". You blame other people at the table. You share the pain of a dealer draw to 21 with the people around you. You tell yourself that if you lose 2 more hands you'll get up and take a break, and then self-loathe for not getting up sooner. You enjoy other activities at the casino for a while. For those who have not experienced the good times, I understand. You don't have the joy to keep you in. But then again, maybe you're sorry for me not being able to break away.

It only took 42 years for the first one to come out so you may be onto something there. And I love the quotes around the word "dead"

sounds alot like Cindi Lauper EDIT: Oh, that was an ad for an upcoming Cindi Lauper performance on New Year's Eve at Mohegan Sun where she'll undoubtedly play both of her songs.

An excellent point! But then we'd see more of his face, which we probably don't want.

Probably not much different than going to early-season meaningless road games. I often kid Kenny that the Bills' slide coincides with his streak - we've only won 1 playoff game since it began, and that was in '95 (the 'Tim Tindale' game against the fish).

cell reception is improved this year - it's one of the things they got big-time dinged on in the annual survey of season ticket holders.
