Toledo Bill

Thanks... It was sure a poor attempt of a block.

whiff on a block that led to Drew's fumble... or am I thinking of another play?

Thanks... Cut Lindell and draft Nugent!!!!

It showed us to be exactly what we are... a 9 and 7 team. Big improvement from 6 and 10, but not ready to play with the "big boys" yet. I am certainly not on a "blame Bledsoe for everything" kick, but he sure seems to struggle in big games.

But he was right. We couldn't beat the second string. We don't deserve to be in the playoffs. Nice run by the Bills in the second half of the season, but in the game that counted most... they didn't have it. Please draft the Ohio State kicker... that missed kick deflated the Bills.

He's a class act. That's great!

I have always heard that one of the signs of how good a coach is revolves around the adjustments they make at halftime. I couldn't agree with you more. There were a lot of years where we were "out-adjusted" by other coaches at halftime... nice to have the shoe on the other foot.

I pretty much gave up after the second New England game. I was down on Donahoe and labeled the team as quitters. I am very happy that I overeacted and was totally wrong. No matter what happens the rest of the year Bills... thanks for not being quitters... thanks for a great run! And "Ol' Whitey"... I tip my hat to you... never thought I would say that!

How good did the defense play today? I take it Vincent was at free safety... I wouldn't know because I don't remember his name being called. San Fran never got that far! What a defense!

I hate to age myself, but I played high school football with a very interesting individual that played Pro football. In 1973 Mark Murphy graduated from Clarence High School. I graduated in 1974 but got to play on the same team with him. Upon graduation, he turned down numerous scholarships to attend Colgate (non-scholarship school). After a great collegiate career, he was signed as a free agent by the Washington Redskins. We all figured that even with his talent he wouldn't make it. The team was coached by George Allen, who did not have a fondness for rookies. Well, to make a long story short (I know... it's too late) , he ended up eventually starting at free safety, played on a couple of Super Bowl teams, got his law degree and I believe ended up as the President of the Players association. He is presently the AD at Colgate. Never met a nicer guy, he never had a big head and could have probably played Pro hoops or baseball.

I do differentiate between the two. I welcome well thought out, objective comments... I enjoy the healthy debates they generate. My comment was intended for the posters, that no matter what, look for the negative. Merry Christmas!

Some people look for the good, some people look for the bad... anyone complaining or being negative right now must be small, unhappy people. It's Christmas time, the Bills have won 5 in a row and my family is great... I have nothing to be negative about. I hope everyone else's family is doing well... if so there is no reason to be negative... Happy Holidays and Go Bills!

And our punter is basically another weapon we have. Back to fact that we have a great TEAM!

It's just hard to understand the mentality. Must be a very unhappy person...

He has made sense! You know... logic aside, why are you looking at this team in such a negative manner. You know what makes being a Bills fan great... HOPE! I am excited because we are playing great and WINNING games! Hundreds of thousands of people are excited and are enjoying this run because we are fans... why look to the negative?? When we were 0 and 4 I could see it, but to make these points now... I just don't get it. OK, back to logic... we have a team playing great TEAM football and our chances are no worse than any other teams. We win this week and it's six in a row... If this team ends up 10 and 6, are you really going to say we are not a good football team?

As mentioned earlier... he also benefitted from being a "system" quarterback... same as Bart Starr. Would Brady, in the position Bledsoe is in have any more success than Drew has?

Point taken!!!!

It is a shame he can't play Sunday. What a wonderful opportunity it would have been for him to showcase his abilities. Also, too bad for the Bills. If they are planning on trading him this could have really helped.

I couldn't agree more. The bottom line is that we want the Bills to succeed. I can't imagine anyone wanting to see a failure just to be proved right.

I think one of my greatest memories of early games (other than OJ) involved our getting to see Joe Namath at home once a year. We seemed to play pretty well against him, but he was a true star and fun to watch.

I don't doubt it. But I do doubt that all of these posters did the same. Thanks.

I now join in the accolades for Donahoe, but I am amazed at the amount of "I told you so" type posts. I was very, very down on him through last year and after an o and 4 start posted as such. I am curious how many people (and I am not pointing fingers) supported him through last year and up until recently. If you thought he was wonderful all this time, great... keep posting about how wrong everyone else was. But I find it hard to believe that everyone making the condensending comments didn't question his abilities at one time. I am very pleased that he is in charge of our team, but feel anyone that questioned him was right to doubt him through the Williams fiasco... which ultimately hurt our team for years.

I remember the game he intercepted a pass and blew out his knee.. the end of a brilliant career. He was something special.

Mostly NFC guy... but Ray Scott was an all time great announcer.
