Yep, I spent about ten years in Mendon, NY (Honeoye Falls-Lima HS).....not far from Fairport.....in fact, my parents had a little automotive art and appraisal shop on Main St. in Fairport for a few years......Pretty cool that he has those roots. I'm also glad to see him showing up in more movies. His part in Cold Mountain was brief, but as usual he stole the show......but Love Liza, to me, was just an amazing film. It took me a little while to recover from it after I watched it for the first time. It's funny, cause if you showed anyone the very last scene in the movie, they may think it was a comedy......but when you see it after watching the rest of the movie, it becomes very memorable image. Some people will get it, some won't. But the acting, dialogue, and story are just amazing, in my opinion.
That's cool. I'm from Webster myself so I love the area.

Yep, born in Fairport, a suburb of Rochester if you're not familiar with it.

Dude, both Niagara and UB are talented, NCAA Tournament caliber teams (not tournament winning caliber, tournament getting to caliber, lol). Last season Buffalo beat the snot out of Kent State a year removed from there Great Eight run. This year, Buffalo is definitely a top contender for the MAC crown, a pretty decent conference.
-
He's also got the Western New York connection. He's from Rochester.
-
Totally agree. They don't give in. In the home opener UB came back from 7 points down with 43 seconds to go to win by 5 in OT. Tied the game at the buzzer with an alley oop dunk from Battle to Bortz on the inbounds.
-
I just got back from it, I live on campus, it was the wildest game I've ever seen. Stressful. Mark Bortz played huuuge, made Juan Mendez his b***h.
-
I don't think Carlton Bailey is that obscure. He was a starter during Super Bowl seasons. He also won that AFC Championship game against the Broncos with that interception.
-
Brad Lamb, last WR on the depth charts in the early 90s and had a really stupid mustache.
-
Dwight Drane. What a name.
-
The fact that Aaron Schobel just ran over Tom Brady on Sam's return sealed the deal for me. Total roadkill moment.
-
Sullivan has surprised me lately. I had pictured him as someone so stubborn that he is totally unable or unwilling to change their opinion, but his writings lately have shown that he is at least able to give Bledsoe credit for his recent upsurge in play. It is a refreshing change from the morons around here.
-
It was low, but it wasn't from behind, he saw him coming. It was unnecessary, but I've watched the Bills always getting bs'd on calls, so if the refs don't call it, it's legal. The Broncos O-line has been doing this forever.
So take your pollyanna crap to some female gymnastics board. :I starred in Brokeback Mountain: :I starred in Brokeback Mountain:
Granted, it was unnecessary for Clements to do that, but it certainly wasn't dirty. Cheap? Maybe. It was a perfectly legal hit, though. It came from directly ahead and Holt wasn't engaged with someone else.

Euhus throw was his best in probably 4 games.
Moulds TD was all Moulds, any other WR and it probably would have been an INT.
Bledsoe has to go! sounds like a rally cry!
Losman starts in the Rams game. We lose the next 2, and are out of the playoffs, mark my words!
We start heading to our 1st SB win when Losman starts! Get him inthe game, dont let a statue who has lost his game fool you into thinking hes good enough!
An INT? How so? Moulds made a great catch to bring it down in bounds but he didn't take it away from the Defensive Back, the throw easily cleared the CB.
-
Agreed Rico. We should probably extend Edwards and convert Bannan full time. Edwards is a good 3rd down DT in obvious passing situations. I thought he was making strides in this area last year before he tore his rotator cup. I don't think it's only that he is playing for a contract. He was already making strides before his injury.
Edwards' contract has already been extended. Happened a few weeks back, before his elevated play of late.
-
He said he was so sure that there would be holding call on Ray Lewis on Josh Reed that he figured he could try to fire it in to Evans because the penalty would give him the play back if it didn't work out.
He also said it looks bad on the stat sheet but 3 of the INTs were tipped balls. He falied to mention that 2 of those three tips were because he threw the ball over the receiver's heads.
Which two would that be? None of them went over the receivers head. The first one was tipped by a DB stepping in front of McGahee, went over McGahee's head, and caught by Sanders behind him. The second one was picked off before it ever got to Evans. The third one was deflected by Lewis at pretty much the same time it got to Evans hands, at about should height, and the last one hit Moulds directly in two hands about a foot in front of his face and he blew it.
The only that was a result of a "bad" throw was the one Deion picked in the end zone. The first one was a result of Baltimore putting a man on McGahee man-to-man from the start, something that is hardly ever seen. The only way Bledsoe see's that coming is if he's clarevoyant. The other pick in the endzone was also Bledsoe fault, because he forced the ball in where he shouldn't have. The pick was a damn good throw to Moulds over the middle that Moulds just butchered.
-
What about the running game, they deserve some credit for the loss, too. They did absolutely NOTHING for us in the red zone. We were forced to pass in situations that are not at all conducive to passing. Baltimores defense was also amazing. What lost this game for us was a combination of three things: A) Poor quarterback play B) Poor running back play, most especially within the endzone, and C) A defense that attacks relentlessly.
-
Well put.
-
That helps his case, not yours, dude. The Bills outshined the Patriots (a very good team, so good they just won 20 in a row) in every statistical category under very comparable circumstances, with one exception: The Bills O outplayed the Patriots with 30 MPH wind that cost them one field goal and a vertical passing game.
That tells me the Bills played a good game.

I thought he looked awful in the first half, making several poor decisions and having his bacon saved by others on more than one occasion. And I didn't give him hell for not hitting Evans in stride in that wind, I gave him hell for not even giving Evans a remote chance to play the ball when so far he's given Drew every reason to have confidence in him downfield.
He really settled down and played much smarter ball in the 2nd though.
Cya
Do you have any more specific complaints? That is one but one bad play doesn't constitute an awful half. Perhaps you would be more succesful in having more substantial rebuttals to your posts that way.
What makes me arrive at average is that he had some very nice throws, despite the wind, to counteract some bad ones. He had two very nice throws to Moulds that were caught (the one he squeezed in on 3rd and 5 that Moulds caught on his hip) and the 17 yard pass in the first drive, and another nice throw that Moulds dropped. He also had a nice throw to Aiken that appeared to hit him in the face mask, I believe that was in the first half...
-
You know, I see an awful lot of "shut-up you stupid Drew-basher" posts.
However I haven't seen a single post even attempting to refute or even reasonably discuss the several examples I cited of Drew's very real struggles in the first half.
Telling somebody they're a mindless idiot who nobody wants to be around just doesn't do all that much to validate your position, which I assume is "everybody but me should shut-up".
Cya
Bledsoe looked average in the first half, but not horrible. The bomb to Evans and the pass to Moulds deep on the sidelines were both crapshoots due to the wind, especially the sideline one. Look at the pass to Reed for evidence. It was a 10 yard pass that started out directly between the numbers for Reed and ended up at his fingertips in the blink of an eye. You'll notice they stopped any attempts at a sideline pass after that. The Evans one was a little better off because it straight down field so the wind only affected distance but the fact the Bledsoe was 3 for 3 on throws to Evans like that previously tells me the wind had a huuuge role in that pass.

I just finished watching the Bills/Fins at my local sports bar. I went online to see what my fellow Bills fans had to say about, what I thought was, pretty poor performance. I am shocked to see all the happy posts! I mean we were all desperate for a win, but you can't possibly be pleased with what you saw today!
McGahee...This guy was doing ZIP until the end of the game. Even then, he had no breakaway speed. He got stuffed on two goaline series. He may need another year to regain his top form, but I didn't think he blew Travis Henry away at all today.
Bills D...Putrid! They were making Fifi Feidler look like Tom Brady there for a while. And Sammy Morris??? He was SHREDDING our so-called "solid" defense. They let the worst offense in NFL march all over them. Can anyone make a tackle? You use your hands...you don't hop in the air and land on a guy.
Replays...They waste one early on the Moulds drop, (more on Moulds later) and missed to obvious reversable calls: 1) The Dolphins fumble in the 3rd quarter. Replay clearly showed the ball dropping to the ground and the Bills recovering. 2) The kickoff out of bounds in the 4th quarter. The Dolphins return man, who was standing out of bounds, touched the kickoff while IT WAS STILL INBOUNDS!! It should have been 'Fins ball inside the 10, not at the 40. Who is deciding what calls to challenge, and why aren't they paying attention???
Moulds...Someone ought to open a big can of shut-the-f***-up on Eric. Instead of flapping your gums to the refs, why don't you get together with your QB so you guys are on the same page once in a while!
Clements...One thing you are guarenteed to see every week...Clements mad at himself for dropping a sure INT. How about working with the JUGS machine once in a while, Nate?
Coaching...I want to give Coach Mullarkey every benefit of the doubt, but I am concerned at the overall lack of discipline on the Bills. This goes beyond the awful penalties. (which are still a problem) I'm talking about a general lack of focus (dropped passes) and seeming unprepared week after week. We expect the team to show some improvement. The Bills actually look worse!
Bledsoe...He actually played a better game for once, but his accuracy is still bad. And he still locks onto one receiver: 2nd quarter throwing to Mark Campbell in triple-coverage that was nearly intercepted. Still only 13 points scored bythe O.
Sorry for p*ssing on everyones victory celebration.
PTR
How many times do we have to over the fact that if the whistle the play dead and say there was no fumble, it IS NOT REVIEWABLE. MY GOD some moron complains about this at least once a week. NOT REVIEWABLE. GET IT?!?!
The second one, well apparently that's the rule. I don't know the rule and haven't looked it up, but Steve Tasker (the single BEST special teamer in history) says it is and if anyone knows the rule, it would be him.

Start with Drew.....very, very nice play today. Missed some passes (the 1st bomb to Evans and Zach Thomas's should-have-been INT), but for the most part he looked very good. He was moving around in the pocket very well, only took one sack. He made some sweet throws downfield and he even RAN 10 yds for a 1st down (that holding call on Campbell was complete horsesh*t).
Willis:
What a stiff arm! Big and powerful and grinded out some key gains. Amazing how he can shift from speed burner to power runner MID-play.
All in all great win, except for the lack of run-stopping. Sammy ate us up in the 1st half. And once again, our MVP, Brian Moorman.....47 yd punt INTO the wind. Right when we needed it too.
GO BILLS!!
Bart
Agreed. 100% so.
-
Except Bledsoe played a great game. His played well, the second half especially, and the fact that he showed nice touch on those short passes into the wind on two long drives without taking any sacks was equally important to Willis. Not to take anything away from Willis, because he was awesome and showed a ton of heart, but the running game was being picked up by the passing game just as often as the passing game was bailed out by the running game (as it should be).

I know this is sarcasm but I would just like to raise the point that we just held a team that scored 50 some points against the supposedly "good" team we play next week to 17 yards.
