I just heard that there win today was their 1st road win against a team w/ a winning record since 1990!
Wow, & we thought we sucked on the road.
-
I think Evans is the best rookie receiver we have ever had. Does anybody agree?
He's good, but I've gotta think Butler was much better.

Why the @#$^%^ would you have to pay to attend a company Xmas party?
Are you talking about taxi &/or sitter that you'd have to pay if you went out anywhere?

Like most polls, a simple Yes/No answer is insufficient.
1st, how many millions are relative to what? Say $20m over a few years and being an elite world class athlete versus the alternative of $20k/yr & absolutely no athletic ability?
In that case, I'd vote yes.
Under the more likely scenario :
As above w/ steriods vs. maybe a $3m and being a '2nd tier' world class athlete? For me, no, but I suspect this is where people who greatly value athletic prowess & success
are in a position to swing & vote yes.
For me in my position, the extra 2" of vertical jump to improve my volleyball game, or the extra 10 yards off the tee in golf, that steriods might garner certainly isn't worth it.
Like most value questions, this debate/question is far more complex than can be adequately analyzed by a simple Yes/No response.

Are they Bionicles
YES
That's it. Thank you.

I recall seeing them at We-Bee-Toys & my sister mentioned them (for her son/my nephew). They come in 2 categories, the real ones that I think are for kids a bit older, & a more basic model for kids closer to his age (5).
Thanks.

Question(s): What do you think he's been doing since late August? Do you think TD was being calculating by releasing him when he did so he'd have little chance of catching on with another team?
I thought I heard them say on the Entirely Sabres Report that until recently, he had been on the Giants PS.
-
Well, he started off as a TE. He wasn't among our 3rd best, & wasn't likely to be anytime soon. (IIRC, we had a FA rookie TE, Tauffalt or something, that I was impressed w/, too.)
He had promising potential, so he was put on the PS. Given 8 weeks of work or whatever, he improved to the point where he was good enough to warrant a roster spot (primarily as a ST player & OT/short yardage TE).
-
Actually, I was kind of nervous about what sort of 2nd half adjustments JG was going to make. They were so effective in the 1st half, I was afraid they were going to try & outsmart themselves.
I think that's about the 1st game where our Dee has been stymying (sp?, or is that a word) in the 1st half. (Maybe the dull-fins, but they don't count.) They played very well in the 2nd as well.

It's called a suicide onside for a reason.
If you catch the interior of the front line snoozing & running back to block - perfect, easy recovery by the kicker.
If they're actually doing what they're supposed to do, well, what happens to the kicker is why it gets its name.

I think the main question you have to ask yourself is, "Do you feel lucky punk?"
No, seriously the question is how long you intend to hold onto it. You're interested in minimizing your cost of driving it. Consider that you're essentially 'renting' or paying for how much you're gonna use it.
If you're going to hold onto it for many years (i.e. until it's essentially worthless), it's simple to compare it to a new 2005. What's the relative value of the warrantee/service; also the difference in equipment. This should be a relatively simple thing for you to evaluate.
Now, if you're only going to hold onto it for a year or 2, guess what, when you trade it in, you're going to be trading in a 5 yr old vehicle & it's value will be based accordingly. So it'll probably end up costing you more than driving a 2005.
Since the vehicle is 'new', I suspect that the dealer will be basing it's price accordingly, albeit w/ hopefully a steep discount. In which case, it will only make sense to buy it if you intend to hold onto it for several years.
Good luck.

Get a different job. Simple solution! Priorities, man.

I can only assume that the primary reason for drafting Anderson was to replace Fat Pat. This seems to be TDs MO in that he drafts a player a year b4 he needs to replace a soon to be expensive FA. Obviously SA & PW are top notch. Edwards seems to be able to contribute as well (I think he has like 4 sacks). Bannan is competent, so that's why Anderson is constantly inactive.
Sorta seems like TD subscribed to Levy's old adage that the only good rookie is last years.
-
He did fumble a few games ago -- I think against the Jests.
I don't know if that was a fumble or not. I meant to look it up in the stats after, but forgot. It's entirely possible that he had already been ruled down &/or forward progress stopped on that play, in which case there was no fumble.

MW is NOT LT material. LTs are typically more agile & quicker than RTs as the usually face the better pass rushers. I think most teams typically are right oriented w/ respect to running (usually the strong side). Those are 2 reasons why MW is better suited for the right side. As for Peters, if the guy was a TE & he covers KOs, one can only assume he can motor, which probably translates to being more agile & mobile. He is suited for LT, although I can only assume he'll be very raw & not likely desirable to start next year.
-
I disagree w/ you w/ respect to the 'we' pronoun. After 30 years of being an avid fan and the associated emotions and strong attachment to the team, I definitely feel that the Bills are 'my' team. (Okay, maybe some others feel that way, too.) Consequently, due to that close association, I often use 'we' and feel it's quite appropriate.
Just MHO.
-
One possible theory is that there's less of a collision if you're hit when you're in the air as opposed to anchored to the turf. This is contrary to the appearance, but it could a) cut down on the possibility of injury & B) allow him to recover from a solid hit & keep on running also possibly the less severe impact might provide a better opportunity to catch the ball.

What, no obligatory link to that PeterPan guy?

Sure, where were you last week when I had a bloody curtain, oops, I mean drape?

all I could think of was the WKRP In Cincy show and the Turkey episode.
...And there's a banner behind it. It says, "Happy {pause} Thanks {pause} Giving. From {pause} W {long pause} K {long pause} R {long pause} P."

I brought up a related topic a few days ago, & unfortunately, we don't know if our non-Moulds receivers suck or if they are decent, but not given the opportunity to contribute.
I'm inclined to think that Reed at least for the time being, doesn't have it (he certainly gave indications his rookie year that he could be decent). Beyond that, who knows. Watching on TV, you never see any others enough to tell even whether they're open or not, let alone if they can catch consistently.

I think your reasoning should lead to a different conclusion. Everyone gets hurt or has the chance to get hurt occasionally. And when they do, sometimes they miss multiple games. Take for example, Malloy - he just missed like 6-7 weeks of action through preseason, bye-week, etc. Does that make him injury prone? No, as a matter of fact, these were the 1st games he's missed in his career! IIRC, something like 130+ straight games. All players, heck even us 'weekend warriors', frequently have minor ailments, but your Milloys, Teagues & Henrys manage to play w/ them. For your RJs, Jennings, etc. these minor problems are sufficient to sideline them.
Is it their fault that they are prone to getting hurt more frequently &/or more severely than their counterparts w/ stronger constitutions? No, but just like you or I are inferior and unable to produce on the field to them due to our inferior size, strength & speed, so too are 'injury prone' players less productive (& valuable) than those that are healthy enough too contribute.
-
The only reason not to start him is if he is still injured.
I'd like to clarify/ point out, that beyond being healthy enough to play, it would also be of great benefit for him to have gotten in adequate practice time. All indications are that that is not yet the case. Hopefully, now that he's sufficiently healed to play in a game, he's getting about 50% of the 'real' snaps in practice.

Everybody Wants Some is still my all-time "turn it up to 11" song.
Everytime I hear that song, I picture a claymation hamburger playing an EVH style guitar.

I believe you failed to take into consideration the possibilites of Indy &/or SD losing their remaining 4 games. I realize each have low probability.
I haven't figured the odds yet (let's wait at least another game), but the way I look at it, there's 6 teams that can be 'eliminated' & we need 3 to do so (& of course, us winning our remaining 4).
