dollars 2 donuts

Me too.

42-0

Wow. Seriously, I mean I know all the stuff that was going on as brought up on this board and in the news, but still...wow. Somebody is going to get themselves a good FA QB.

I'm sorry, but this is where our stunted, timid passing game needs to show up. I know we are a run first team. I know EJ is a rookie and love the guy, but we have got to find a way to start pushing teams a bit more in the mid range (10-20 yards) passing area. I am not talking about the deep throws, although it would be nice if we connected on just a couple of those. I just want the Browns to be a little worried that if they stack the box when we are at the 20 yard line that they have to give some consideration about Woods, Stevie, Scott or anyone else at about the 35 yard line.

Honestly, that stuff last night just makes ya feel good. I know there is a crossover of fans with the Steelers and Pens who have been very fortunate with their teams' success...but for Pirates fans...all those years...man, good for you guys.

If Fitz can go 4-2 over these next few weeks then he will solidify his place as being a very high paid back-up QB in this league until he's almost 40, ala Kitna. Man, the guy can make between 2-3 million a year for the next 8 or so years...I'd take that.

Seriously. If they are able to take these two, then finish the first half at 4-4 (should we lose @ the Phins and Saints) I think we then have a chance to do some damage in the 2nd half. ...if we follow 4-4 with a home win against the Chiefs then, wow, I think we could really start to rack things up and make a run.

If the Bills finish with at least 9 wins and EJ throws for 20 or more TDs with less than 15 interceptions I think he would be the leading candidate.

I would have loved giving Rinehart 2 million dollars a year.

They should have paid Rinehart.

This made me laugh...thank you, JR. Two weeks from tonight get your popcorn ready for a Bills-Browns game!

Respectfully, Moderators, I do agree with I<j above. However, swinging back to the all 22 from week one it is a more than a little disappointing seeing the open lanes that CJ had to cut back on, and didn't. I've been very hard on Collin Brown (begging for answers on how we could let Chad Rinehart walk without giving him a yeoman type contract offer that was better than SDs), but his caused isn't helped by CJ being out of step. ...I thought about getting NFL rewind last year and I almost pulled the trigger this morning.

Yeah, I've screwed it up before, I should have looked it up. JR, I couldn't agree more. My question is to the media...why the heck haven't you guys asked more questions about this when he was let go or as a follow-up now? Honestly, I don't think I have ever heard this, or any other question about him put to the powers that be and not only is it an issue right now at RG, but probably one back in the off season.

Rinehart would have been a nice compliment.

We have a great number of higher education institutions here. We are near a beautiful river, one of the wonders of the world and one of the largest fresh water sources on the planet. We get our power from the largest hydroelectric source this side of the Mississippi. We share a boarder and peaceful relations with our good neighbors to the north. There are five million people within an hour and half drive, and probably double that within a 4 hour drive (Cleveland and Pittsburgh). ...and our taxes are bat-s***t outrageous. ...but it is still such a great place to live. GO BILLS!

2-23. I don't like us being disrespected as much as the next Bills fan, but 2-23. I've had a stupid little phrase I've repeated over and over again through the years that still holds true today: good teams win games. That's it. That is all. No excuses. When you are stepping on a snakes neck you proceed to bash his head in...you don't let him up to snap at you. No McKelvin fumble, No bad Fitz pass, No Bledsoe stumble in prime time, no Stevie drop. 2-23 should garner no respect at all.

Sorry, I only picked one before I knew I could pick three! I picked EJ being handcuffed. As far as I'm concerned it is incredible to think that against a poor pass defense EJ threw only 27 passes. I have absolutely no problems with the no huddle. What I do have a problem with is playing it safe with the no huddle out of fear of Brady. Of course you run the ball sometimes, but did anyone on the coaching staff really think that, of all things, NE's front 7 had gotten worse since last season and was worth exploiting?

I agree wholeheartedly with respect to losing rinehart. Levitre leaving i get, but signing chad for a couple of million per year for two years should have been a no brainier. I know it has been previously mentioned on the broad that he followed his coach to SD, but money is money and doubling his pay should have been an "easy" button right smack dab in the middle of the GM control board.

How in the world are Jags rated higher than us? Seriously, I mean whatever with respect to power rating, but who rationally looks at both these teams and says to themselves, "Yeah, kinda going with the Jags being better than the Bills."?

Your response is currently being discussed in another thread. If you feel the need to respond on this matter further, or wish to raise the possibility that Byrd's foot injury is just an attempt at subterfuge, please do so there.

Not that you can really pull the wool over belichek's eyes, but is it worth it, just to keep them guessing? Edit: yeah, Max, that actually was the point. Hey, I'm just grab bin' here, but I'm still grab in'!

...still have Manuel take a majority of the snaps (and not tell the press that), have Tuel hand the ball off on the first play and then put Manuel in, without getting in trouble with the League and disclosures? Sorry for being long winded, but just wondering.

Personally I'd give it an F. Seriously, lybob's point is well taken.

So much, though, for those who said he wouldn't make it through waivers.

What was rinehart's deal in SD, a million dollars? Ridiculous...no reason why he shouldn't be one of our starting guards. Also, Fitzy will be the second coming of John Kitna. He'll make millions as a back up until his late 30s.
