Amen!

I can''t stand rap or rapping. Especially at this time of year, rapping is really difficult. Sometimes around Birthdays, I find rapping to be difficult but tolerable. For some reason, I just can't get my corners to work and my rapping sucks. I usually go somewhere that will rap for you instead of struggling with rapping by myself. I just noticed the my "W" isn't working!!

I don't think I could have said it any better myself!!!

Personally, I thought, form the looks of it, that Willis wasn't even expecting a handoff. He didn't seem to have his arms in the basket position to accept it and maybe he thought that the play was designed elsewhere. Just my opinion on it. Regardless of whose fault it was, the was miscommunication there, which does happen from time to time. It happened, it's in the past, lets let it go. If not, cut everyone then!!

Hey Doug, you probably know my answer already but here goes. I would reccommend going down to one of the local softball complexes in your area, go the main office and tell them you're interested in getting on a softball team. They probably have a list for you to sign that would include your phone number. Believe me, someone will call you and ask you to play. There are always teams looking for someone that is willing to commit to showing up every week. When I first moved to Florida, I didn't know very many people and no one played softball that I knew. I went to a complex, signed up and had a call within a week. I've been playing all 4-10 weeks seasons for the last 8 years several nights a week. It costs very little to play, except for the extracurricular activities, ie beer/bar. Golf is just too expensive sometimes and if you suck, like I do, well, it's just not worth the aggrevation. You're good at softball, from what I remember playing with you in a few leagues, and it's somthing fun to do. Get into that, you will be amazed how many guys will end up asking you to play other nights if you show that you're committed. Hope that helps. Talk to you soon. Good Luck

Don't forget about Baltimore. They're one of the other teams that the Bills need to lose.

The Bills are in a good situation with TH. They have him on the roster for a fairly low salary for the next year and he would be a decent back up. If they do try to move him, getting a 2nd should be what their looking for, though possibly a combination of this years 3rd from someone and maybe a 5th the following year would be acceptable. I wonder if it's possible that a team might be willing to swap a player for TH. I'm sure there are a few players out there that would like out of their current situations, maybe someone that doesn't like the way their current deal is structured, and could be shipped to the Bills with knowing that they would rework their deal.

I have to agreee with you Gant, why ruin such a productive game by pointing out the bad points. A win is a win, no matter how we got it!! THis team is completely different from the team that started the year confidence wise. They appear that they feel that there isn't anyone that can beat them right now. The pinned their ears back yesterday and manhandled the Browns. Now, the Browns aren't the best team in the league by any means but they aren't as awful as Buffalo made them look. I think, the point that is being missed, that the Bills are actually that good and could overcome just about anything right now. A good example was the Miami game. They fell behind early but never panicked and came back and dominated the second half of that game. Confidence is back at One Bills Drive!!

You've got to be good to be lucky. If you noticed the home team here wasn't very good in the beginning of the year and were probably the unluckiest team in the league. The Bills are now pretty good and have been pretty lucky. Being good generates the luck.

Just an observation but I did notice that the tight end's were kept in to block a few times yesterday while the outlet receiver was the fullback and running back. It's quite possible that the coaches noticed something and game planned to get the rb's more involved. It also doesn't hurt that the line with the help of the te's did a pretty good job in protection yesterday and for the last month and a half.

Incredible!!!!!!!! Nice way to start off a Monday Nick, thanks.

Didn't Bettis come into the league with the Rams. I would guess Chuck Knox but I'm not sure if he was still the coach with the Rams at the time they drafted Bettis.

Great Post!! Just goes to show that even the experts are wrong. I've always felt that the football guys seem to know a bit more than the so-called experts, so when TD made that pick, it was for a reason. How could he pass up on a guy that probably would have been a top 3 pick and still get him in the low 20's. He still got his guy in Kelsay 20 picks later because, unlike the so-called experts, the football guys tend to know what everyone else is doing in the draft. This was one of many great picks by TD but probably the one that will keep him in Buffalo for a while.

Contrary to popular belief about 6 or 7 weeks ago, TD has actually done a pretty damn good job putting this team together. Most people wanted to criticize him for drafting Mike Williams at the 4 spot a couple years ago but in essence, that draft class sucked with the exception of about 5 players. TD has really put together a pretty decent team by drafting depth, acquiring FA that start for us and finding UFA's that have ability to play and start at the NFL level. Every one of these players contribute to this team. It's amazing how the tune around here changes when the team rips off a few wins. TD was a good as gone, according to a lot of you and now he's ready to be awarded GM of the year by some. IMO, the guy is and always has been a genius with football players. If he has a fault, it's probably his mistake that he made with Gregg Williams, though, I think GW would have probably had this defense playing as well, the offense would have sucked because GW hired Gilbride. That's what set this team back, not a lack of talent!!

Actually, when I lived in Buffalo, a group of us used to get together and, surprise surpise, went bowling Christmas night then out to a bar. I don't think anything should be open until at least 4pm on Christmas Day. I know of a supermarket here in Orlando that is open on a limited basis Christmas which is just ridiculous. Still though, the Labor day non football has me really irked. That was one day/weekend that I looked forward to every year for football. I used to love flying back to Buffalo for a home opener that weekend. :I starred in Brokeback Mountain: NFL/TV Executives for stealing that holy weekend from us football fans!!!

I'm not saying that all the Malls are open but I know of some grocery stores are open limited hours but regardless, they're still open. It's ridiculous. Why can't everything but the bare necessities like bars and fire stations, just close for one day a year?

I'll second the notion to supply your own "Canadian Beer", besides being expensive, it's not always the easiest to find down here. If you're looking for something to do to entertain them, look into the multitude of golf courses for them to go to on Saturday. St. Augustine has some nice ones and is only about an hour south of J-Ville. St. Aug is also home to one of the Caddyshack Restaurants and also the Golf Hall Of Fame, which might or might not be nice to see for them. The many strip clubs are also something to look into. Daytona Beach and the Space Center are only about 2 hours south which also might be something to consider. Good Luck with the planning Circle.

It only happens a couple times every handful of years that Christmas falls on a weekend, so I voted no to this. If this was the case, then there shouldn't be any games on Thanksgiving and New Years either. I can understand the religious side of it but hell, if malls and every store imaginable is now open Christmas Day, why not play football. Also, if it's a religious thing, then maybe the NFL should play on Saturdays so they don't interfere with Sunday's religious background, unless you're a Seventh Day Adventist, then it would be okay on Sundays but not Saturdays. I would have mentioned that no games should be on Labor Day either but the "television executives" already took away that great football weekend from us.

And that's about it stuck. I do miss most of the people of Buffalo, probably except the "stuck in their ways" folk that have a coronary every time the word "change" is mentioned. They are the ones that will still refer to the "other day" as a time back in 1942 when things were actually prosperous in the area. I really miss the food in Buffalo too. I was talking to someone here in Orlando yesterday that is in the process of moving down from Kalamazoo, MI and they were asking how things are here. I told them that if there is anything like pizza that they really liked from up there, to bring some back with them because they won't find it here. I have to give rolly some credit for trying to stay there and make it work, you're one of the few that is willing to sacrafice a better standard of living for staying home. I left in 1996 and have vowed to NEVER move back to Buffalo or NYS. It's a nice place to visit for a weekend football game but you couldn't pay me enough to live there again.

................... and the rest is history. Somewhere along the way there, with Kelly going to the USFL, I believe RW realized, along with the owner of the Chiefs, Steelers and a couple of others who I can't think of off the top of my head, changed their philosophy about attracting players. The days of penny pinching and holding a draft pick hostage to the demands of the owner were done. They all seemed to realize that if they didn't get off the wallet and keep pace with the rest of the league, they were going to end up as the perennial laughing stocks. It's funny how all of that happened within a span of about 2 years or so. The USFL starting up and failing was quite the blessing to Bills fans regardless of the Kelly situation, IMHO.

Hey Mark, I live in Florida, Orlando to be exact and still have family in the Buffalo area. I wouldn't classify Florida or Orlando as paradise by any means but the tax burden is much much much less than it is in Buffalo. You have probably read that there is no state income tax which is a nice benefit to living here. The property tax, in the surrounding suburbs of Orlando is roughly equated to 1% of the value of your house. If you buy a $100,000 house, which is about the minimum around here, your property/school taxes will be roughly $1,000. A 1K house will get you the basic 3/2 with attached garage on a 1/4 to 1/2 acre lot and about 1250-1400 square feet. 2K will get you roughly a 4/2 or 4/2, 1/2 acre or larger lot and about 2000-2500 square feet. Florida isn't paradise in general but if you research schools, cost of living and basic incomes, it's probably not to far off. The Seminole County area of Central Florida have some of the better schools in the state and taxes are slighty higher than the norm but nowhere near what NYS or Erie County rapes you for. I hope that helps.

To me, it seems, that the fan base is dwindling with the rest of Buffalo. This should be a sellout no matter what. It would have been back in the late 80's and early to mid 90's. I guess people are just to afraid to spend money with Christmas right around the corner. I am not going so I shouldn't be criticizing but I do live in Orlando and I will be up there for the Pitt game on January 2nd, when the weather should even be worse. Step it up Bills fans and show some support!!

Whew, it just isn't me that thinks that he is creepy. Whoever came up with that commercial, and the radio commercials trying to explain the TV commercial, should be canned immediately!!

LOL ICE, it was only a matter of time till that was mentioned. Good One. I don't agree with you on it but that's pretty funny.
