I don't know if I would go as high as 9-7, but I would be shocked if they only won 3 or 4 games as some are predicting.

This is what Bills talk has come to after a decade+ of bad football.

I agree that there is fat that can be trimmed in the state workforce(yes, in case you can't guess, I am part of that workforce), but if Cuomo believes that laying off several thousand state workers is going to fix the problems of the state deficit, he is dreaming. It is small potatoes as compared to the savings that can be had if they ever got serious about welfare reform. I am not even sure if it is currently being discussed by the state officials.

Yes. Welfare reform(see link as to what they are doing in Michigan). The state workforce should be targeted, but the endless cycle of generations of families being on the welfare rolls should continue as is? Layoff state workers who in turn can't find work and move out of state, but leave the welfare gravy train alone. Sounds like a plan to me.

A decade of terrible football is supposed to be washed away by a couple of quarters of preseason football, and a guy who hasn't been the same since he got off the juice? Excuse me if I wait a game or two before becoming optimistic that this team is heading in the right direction.

Yeah, no big difference there.

The team has SUCKED for the better part of a decade. Why is it a surprise that Sully has been writing similar columns over that same time period? What exactly do you want him to write?

Yeah...why would Cuomo want to enact welfare reform when he can layoff members of the state workforce instead.

^^^ This.

http://news.yahoo.com/mich-governor-signs-48-month-welfare-limit-231915012.html Does anyone know what the current welfare laws are for NYS, in terms of how long you can be on welfare and also residency rules for newcomers from out of state?

So does this mean TSW "likes" Florio....at least until he says something bad about the Bills?

Uuum...If the people who create these polls move the Bills up in the rankings if they get off to a good start, how will they look like fools? Do you really think anyone remembers where they had a team ranked(who was 4-12 a year before) before the season started?

I was responding to a post that contained this statement... "The Bills would rather have guys who are better runners across the middle."

Yeah...who needs a guy who can stretch defenses. Let's just get another guy who is good at running 5 yard patterns across the middle. That way defenses can just have more guys closer to the line of scrimmage.

Grew a beard + went to Harvard + loved to chuck the ball around + fun to watch = Awesome???? :blink:

Not that it will make a difference until the 3 stooges(Wilson, Littman & Overdorf) are gone, but I believe Nix will be riding off into the sunset by the end of next season.

Where is the diss?

I just looked at an image of the flag and I can't decide which is worse, the flag or the uniforms. http://www.50states.com/flag/mdflag.htm

It can be looked at one of three ways... 1. Wilson and his henchmen are always looking at the bottom line. 2. Nix is in love with Andrew Luck and is already taking preemptive strikes to make sure he ends up a Bill. 3. The coaches who are in on the decision making of which OL to keep, need to be put in straight jackets. Anyone else who can come up with a different reason why this is our opening day roster of OL, feel free... Bell Levitre Urbik Pears Wood Rinehart Brown

Numerous teams over the last decade have been running the wildcat and the best example you have of the impact of the wildcat is a game where Smith threw one pass which was completed for a TD and ran the ball 3 more times for meaningless yardage?
