Have fun!!! ... but what job gets you that kind of time off?

Rlflutie?

And maybe if a certain QB hadn't fumbled on the doorstep of a winning TD against Miami.... If Flutie is what made Brees good, then how do you reconcile that with Brees poor play in the previous years he was under Flutie's impressive tutelage?

I had major doubts about Bledsoe from the second half of 2002. My desire to have someone new has gone away from time to time especially during that winning streak, but again, I am ready for someone new. We have seen where he take us, we haven't see where someone else can take this talent.

I didn't say he was the deciding factor in most of these games just that he played an important role. That doesn't mean that other QBs couldn't have done the same, but he was playing a real role. We did have some semblance of a passing game in many of these games. Again, I want the Bills to go with Losman or someone else opening day next year but my main point is that people totally changed their outlook on that one loss at the end of the season. In general, I just think you Bledsoe-bashers are right about our need for a change but the excessive exaggeration of the situation probably does more harm than good in your effort to convince the remaining holdouts. If your goal is just to radicalize each faction, I apologize for the criticism.

Yeah in retrospect it was, but the opinion on this board was completely different in regards to Bledsoe when we were winning those games. People who were saying we would be better off with Losman at this point were being attacked for being unrealistic. The Bills were winning these games against these losing teams by huge margins, but that's what good teams do against poor competition. You don't see margins much bigger than that during the season. Do you really expect the Bills to win 70-7 in those games? Would that have made them not tricks of smoke and mirrors? Bledsoe was a substantial part of victories against three playoff teams. If things had gone differently against Pittsburgh, depending on Bledsoe's performance in the playoffs, the opinion on this board including mine would have been very different, you can't deny that. Just look at the archives...

Underperform at 650K a year? He's playing in the best league where only the most elite talent-wise even get to sniff at being on a team's roster. The only reason he looks bad at times is because of the highest level of competitors besting him. He may not at this point worthy to be a starting quarterback, but he most certainly has enough talent to be a back-up. This idea that he is done as an NFL QB is ludicrous.

It's not too far-fetched to talk about a strong finish with Drew. If we had one that one game I bet you the opinion on this board would be far different. Of course that loss is enough to make me jump off of the SS. Bledslow instead of continuing the course on it.

Usually you can listen to shows again after they are over on ESPNRadio.com. Just go to the page for the particular show and click on the listen to it link.

Speaking of which, what was the name of that WR we had that drafted in the 7th round a few years ago who kept on getting in trouble with the law? I remember BB.com used to interview players and ask questions like who's always late to meetings and his name was always given.

It's just amazing how when you watch other teams how much more second tier receivers are more involved in the offense than they are with the Bills. The Steelers and the Patriots are obvious examples that come to mind. Unfortunately it's hard to tell whether the problem is that Bledsoe locks in on certain receivers more or if we actually suck in this area.

I still haven't gotten over Billy Joe Hobert and Todd Collins...

Maybe that's how the windshield got busted. It certainly is limited to that side of the car.

I guess airbags are good on the whole but in this particular instance I probably didn't need their deployment meaning that all I got from them so far looks like a big headache and a ruined car...

Yeah the car is only worth 2500-3000 on edmunds.com, so I guess they are likely to think it's totalled at this point. I have a high deductible of about 800 or so dollars and my sister crashed this car a couple of years ago so there already is a high insurance rate on top of the high rate for my age.

Ask a stupid question, I guess...

Is there a way to be sure that they have?

Well thankfully it's just a cheap 97 Ford Contour

Hmm.. I hope you're wrong. Someone had guessed 1000 before, but if it's 4000 or something than the car is totaled.

I just got into a little bit of an accident this morning, spinning off of a road and took some damage the car including the air bags deploying. It looks like the air bags and a cracked windshield are all that I got, but since I never have had the air bags deployed and haven't had an estimate yet, I was wondering if people had an idea on how much fixing the airbags usually cost and any advice on things to be cautioned about when getting them fixed as well.

The check cleared at the two minute warning, that's how it makes sense.

He's still bitter about the Bills firing Gregg Williams. Every time he came on to a show to talk, he always was puffing up old Greggy no matter how terrible his team was performing. The Art Monk snub job led by him is disgraceful.

When was the last time a trade was made involving players for players as the main component? I think salary cap rules discourage this.
