  1. That draft like the Cowboys did this year or last.... they picked two DEs in the 1st round? Yeah, we pretty much need to do that.
  2. To be fair, four straight weeks where he wasn't a freaking hero like today. Weeks where it was definitely some of his fault and definitely some fault on the other 21 out there (ahem Robert Royal ahem). Weeks where coaching calls didn't help anything. Weeks where he still, at times despite it all, lead the team down the field in ways we hadn't seen in a while. Monday was horrible for him in the first 3 quarters, and then the last drive he finally hit some nice passes and get a rhythm before Turk went smallball. As often said, Trent/QB doesn't deserve all the praise, nor all the blame.
  3. If it happened consistently, you'd begin to have a point. Seriously, you've never had one of those kinds of days? Some people measure progression on a larger scale.
  4. Don't ever underestimate Bills fans' ability to eat our own. And they eat the choicest pieces first.
  5. Don't ever say those words again. The proper phraseology in the situation is, "It's strategically important to the Bills for the ... to win."
  6. ~20 yard TD run for Trent. Dink.
  7. 20-yarder to the sideline on a right roll-out, perfect placement. Dink. To Royal with another 20-yarder. Dunk.
  8. Leodis gets No. 2!!!!
  9. He completes passes and moves the team. Some bad plays or, even, days here and there. Like I said, sh-- happens. I'll take this over one 80-yard bomb per game (vs. teams w/o good CBs) and a sh-- ton of sacks and 3'n'outs. This KC game may be just what he needs to get his mind right again. Nice 51-yarder to LE a minute ago. Heck of a dump-off, no? QB play is about #15 on the list of this team's problems.
  10. Hey, Denny just got an Aaron Schoebel Special!
  11. Wow. Kelsay with actual run support for maybe the second time this season.
  12. Then again, it's not that critical of a game. Jobbing the Bills is at its apex in the big games.
  13. Game starting to slow down for McKelvin?
  14. Dude was trying to punch the ball out, Lynch hangs on and keeps the legs pumping.
  15. For the record, he aims to create or save 2.5 million jobs. Tell you what. Ross Perot might've been a short firecracker, but he was damned right about that "Giant Sucking Sound" passed by the Repubs and Clinton. Took awhile, but we can no longer juggle off lost production jobs here with low-wage retail, fast food and sales. Some kind of technology has to pave the way, probably medical development or energy creation jobs. When these areas needed to be bolstered in the later Clinton years, everyone was still riding the rollercoaster and in the Dubya presidency, different (ideological, anti-science) policies were set. Car manufacturing, textiles and the like probably aren't going to be coming back in droves and anybody with a brain should have known that 10 years ago. We are so behind where we should be it's not even funny.
  16. Just to admit here, I'd've went with Holcolmb over JP if he wasn't 33-34 years old and physically unable to throw mid-long passes. You can't/shouldn't build a franchise around someone in the twilight. TE has hit a bit of a sophomore slump.... but even in the losses I can see that he has good fundamentals. Early on Monday, well, sh-- happens sometimes and there will be days like that. What's more telling to me is that 15-20yard laser he put to Royal with ~1:30 left. Kid finally got it together with time to win and then the coaches went into a shell.
  17. Actually, it's Dr Pepper. No period.
  18. On the contrary, what does it say about Malcolm X that AQ calls him "honorable"? Oh, wait. He wrote an autobiography where he patted himself on the back and Denzel Washington played him in the movie, so that means he was a great guy.
  19. F--- Ralph. I could give a sh-- about a guy who talks down the franchise, then translates all the money into the atrocity we've seen for the past 10 years where he couldn't do a better job of running it into the ground if he were trying to. Sell or die.
  20. Also seems to give individuals a very warped sense of their value. Stroud is having a decent year. But now it's a flip of the same argument the lemmings have made for a while re: the DL. How would the DTs look with actual DEs? Post-Wade, we get one and not the other.
  21. I'm half-Dutch with that side of the family in WNY. I can stand about a day there before I think "What have I done?" and am ready to go home. Given the exodus from WNY and the large Dutch populations there, maybe you're on to something.
  22. At this point, I don't think it matters. We've had the same style of coaching here for the past three hires. Same inept offenses, plus or minus. Same defenses where CBs play 10-15 yards off the opponent's WRs. Either we get off to a bad start, recover, then end bad or we get off to a good start, play badly for a short stretch, recover for a short stretch and then end bad. There's change in the faces and places, but the output and results stay the same. If DJ is fired, or if one of the coordinators is let go as a sacrifice so DJ can stay, nothing will fundamentally change. Just, we'll have to get an entirely new roster of the new coaches' "guys" to fit whatever moron scheme he wants to install and then we'd have to give him the customary 3 years grace during a rebuild. At the rate things are going, it would be Full-time Wildcat. This is the type of coach, and hence, the type of losing schemes that we are stuck with b/c someone doesn't want it to be different. Newsflash. This is a sh-- team. We are among the dregs of the NFL. I'm sure at the OBD team entrance, there's a sign that says "Abandon all hope, ye who enter here." They picked it up for 10 cents at the scrapyard, turned it over and spray-painted a Bills logo on the back. It will not start getting better until Ralph sells or dies. Truth hurts. Sorry 'bout that.
  23. Hillary may reject SoS even if it's offered, source says
