The Bills can go 14-2 and 1-15. Until the Bills play these games I am not chalking up any game as a loss or a win and neither should they.

What sucks is how many people want to be living here all things being equal but feel they can't. If the business climate improved and generally there were just lower taxes, there would be a huge inflow back I think. Perhaps some transportation improvements might make a difference as well. Maybe a high speed train that makes it quick and easy to get from Buffalo, Rochester, Syracuse etc. down to NYC? Perhaps make an interstate spur that goes from Elmira through Ithaca to Cortland?

I guess I feel that California has similar problems with its government but still has a pretty dynamic economy although it has its problems too.

New York is not the only high-taxed and extraordinarily business unfriendly state, but I suppose the problem is that the other states have nicer weather.

I like to give alley-oops to posters to increase my assist numbers. I am an unselfish poster.

You would think in the long-run that another employer would take advantage of that work force.

Is it worse to be a despised poster or one who people mainly ignore or forget?

Why not just apply for jobs listed for Rochester and see what happens? Plan a week long visit and see what you can get?

Secret TSW cabals? Apparently some message board called the Range that is somehow verbotten here? Spiked Lemonade? I remember the screen name but not the beef there. I wish I spent more time here and knew more about all this stuff.

I fail to see how calling a timeout before the 2 minute warning was such a bad move. It only really is if the next play would have stopped the clock anyway, but since the next play was an over the middle pass to Evans, it didn't really matter. Maybe I am missing something...

That would probably mean cutting the long-snapper. Considering Lindell's improvement since Schenck (sp?) came on I would think this would be a mistake.

This is why Wonderlic matters.

My least favorite combo is the white jersey and blue pants. At that point, it is just too busy.

When it is 90+ degrees outside you want to minimize the dark colors you wear.

The best way to handle this--if you care to bother--is to keep good records of the stupid things he says. Then, if the Bills have a great season, you can own him with his own words. If you call him on it now, you risk looking silly if the Bills don't keep up this good play. At the same time, I don't mind it when people diss the Bills generally, but I do mind when they do it when they lack any knowledge on the subject. Any of the detractors of the Bills who actually watched the 2 games have come out saying that the Bills are much better than they thought. The lazy commentators who are just repeating the meme that Bills Bad, Dolphins Good have put so much faith in it that they just can't accept that they were wrong since they didn't even see the game and assume that the Dolphins just haven't been playing up to their talent. I stop listening to sports talk for the most part, but especially to this guy. He has "instincts" which means that he gets a small piece of information and then runs with some overly generalized rant with little support. Any further information he has on the subject he just spins as supporting his original, ill-informed theory.

For I fear that if the Bills lose that game whether because of a let-down or just because the Jets play lights out, that I will lose this nice feeling

Did anyone notice how often Holcomb was cheering for Losman and slapping him five and being generally supportive and helpful?

Reed's TD catch and Losman's champion-like celebration.

I thought the Marlins were close to moving. No longer the case?

I am still trying to figure this one out. He has so far done worse than Mike Mularkey did at this point in his career.

Mularkey + Moulds=stupid gadget plays when ahead + sideline discord=Bills blowing big lead.

That doesn't seem right. Tillman is a "shutdown" safety who never blows coverage deep.

I rented the Mazda 6 this summer. I really liked. The back seat is small compared to a Camry or Accord, but it is a driver's car. It's a blast to drive, I must say. It handled extremely well and had good HP for its size.

I believe all but the Mazda 6 are. The Mazda 6 is made, although it may be imported from Japan as well, in the Auto Alliance International Factory in Michigan. This is the same factory that makes the Mustang--see Ford's controlling interest in Mazda. The Mazda 3 is based of the European Ford Focus' platform which is considered of a higher quality than the Focus made here. I believe the 3 is made in Japan.

Um was Tavares Tillman playing safety for them back then?
