what happened to Petrino? Didn't he start the bills' haiku?

both great plays, but how he kept that ball off the ground was amazing!Nice post btw.

I think Kiko's INT to seal the Baltimore game competes as a play of the year.

My vote for most brilliant post of 2013. More private sector jobs as the solution to what ails! Who knew....I stand with oc, I demand this gets done!

i'm on board with this line of thinking. Amaro, Ebron, or the guy with 2 last names. I think one way to improve in the red zone is to use 2 TEs. Keep chandler and draft one of those studs.

My feelings are similar. This is what I posted in the predictions thread: "If the Bills' D can keep the pats to 24 or less, they have a chance. This game will be a good indication of how much the D has improved. "

If the Bills' D can keep the pats to 24 or less, they have a chance. This game will be a good indication of how much the D has improved.

you're probably right. It would be foolish to risk injury going into next season and have him miss the various mini camps. I do like Lewis' ability to manage games in a hostile environment over EJ's at this point in their careers.

Anyone see how he did in tonight's game?

What does top two mean in today's nfl? Most teams have a top three. I've seen a lot of talk about drafting a WR earlier, I hope not. Personally, I think they are fine with who they have. I'd draft one of the stud TEs in R1 instead (amaro or Ebron, et al). I hope they keep chandler too. Imagine the red zone match up with 2 WR (sj and woods) and 2 TEs, chandler and Ebron, and FJ in the backfield? The 2014 draft is loaded with TEs and OTs, I'd like to see them go with those two positions in the first two rounds.

Personally, I think Marrone is going with Lewis because he thinks he has a better chance to win with him than with EJ...

Looking back on the season, tell us what (insert number here) things that were better than you expected and what were worse than you expected?

its easy to miss with the way they attempt to show it.

It's Christmas, Jerry's back to his old grinch self...

The way it's shown, I can see how you miss the #1 team, bills are actually #8.

New rule, can't start a thread until you have 1,000 posts...

totally agree. They've managed to essentially replicate last years offense with a rookie QB, as well as a carousel at the position due to injuries. I think this shows the coaching is actually quite good.

wow! You usually keep a third of your assets in money markets that earn roughly 0%, and still made 52%--I bow down to your genius... it's gdp. The only paper gains counted are produced in mills...

"Many believe..." As I tried to preempt, interest rates rise with faster growth. Nominal gdp increased by 6.2% in Q3, and the average interest on government's debt is 1%. The government's finances will actually improve for the next 10 years, so worry about something that matters, and get some sleep. At some point during that time, We'll need to reduce healthcare costs and defense spending to keep expenditures at 20% (or less) of GDP, and revenues will need to rise another 1-2% and things will be fine for at least another 10 years after that. I think you will find more important issues to worry about before even the first 10 year changes need to be made...

oops! Make that 4.1% for Q3...

if you believe Rogoff & Reinhart, i linked a paper here a few years ago in which they looked at recessions and recoveries in relation to private sector debt build up in the preceding expansions. Excessive debt build up takes longer to unwind and recover from, 4 years on average according to their study. Richard Koo from Nomura securities also argued this was a balance sheet recession, and it's taken years for the household sector to deleverage. The policy that would've been most effective would be to write down household debt faster. But only finance and important corporations get bailouts...

possibly. When I make my (annual) prediction about the economy, I weigh the positives against the negatives. I saw negatives restraining things in the first half, then the underlying positives taking hold in the second. I weight my portfolio accordingly. I try to make above market gains by market timing. Maybe that isn't what you call investing, but I gave up more risky type investing 10 years or so ago. ok, you got me. It was a total pro-Obama post. Long live the king! ah, yes, proprietary... I see...

only if you are 100% equities, which is my point. I'd be curious to know how many went all in this year? And why? of course. It seems that some were trying to infer that my post was somehow supporting O; it wasn't.

I mentioned obamascare in a list of "things" associated with people who argued those things would harm the economy. As GG said, if I wanted to bring O into it, I would've done so in 2010 when he could've done some things to get us out of this mess a little quicker.

the only one bringing Obama into this is you (and GG). care to tell us when the bubble will bust?
