Do we get to revise our "guesses" after each game? You know, we want to keep these prognostications "current".

I would imagine if it's under warranty, dell would cover you.

suggest to the owner that he move the team to LA... at least if you lose in LA, nobody notices or cares.

the first thing that comes to mind is that your "graphics" (video) card has fried. If you have another computer sitting around, pull the video card from that one and slip it into the one you're having problems with. If you don't have another computer around, you can stop at a Staples, Best Buy, Compusa, or simalar and pick up a graphics card for about $30... if it works, you solved your problem... if not, hopefully you can return the graphics card and get your money refunded... you can also see if one of the mom/pop computer sales/repair stores in your area has a cheapd used graphics card that they would sell or give to you. good luck

and now nebraska has had the best recruiting seaosn in the big 12 and #2 in the entire nation.

Trading Rivers is really not an option. The Chargers have $40M invested in him already and if they were to trade him, his big ass bonus that was spread out over 7 or 8 years counts toward the salary cap immediately... which then takes them out of the Drew Brees sweepstakes.... and at the same time GB takes on the salary of two #1 QBs??? I don't think so.

I was thinking the same, but then Favre has said himself he wants to play for another 3 or 4 years and he still is playing at a high level. Then, didn't the Pack just go out and trade for J.T. Sullivan to groom as his eventual successor? Also, it's not been the Packers style to throw big money at any free agent... at least there's not a single one that comes to mind.

Brees is a FA after this season... based on his performance as of late, he's going to command big money. Thw Chargers ain't gonna franchise him... that would automatically count $10M toward their salary cap... which either they don't have or, if they do, will handcuff them in adding depth. So, with the changing of the guard in "Fin"land... will it be Fiedler out and Brees in, with Feeley in reserve? Or with Gannon probably finished due to injury and Collins not answering the bell, will it be Oakland? Would the Bears or Tampa take a shot? I don't think so with Grossman/Krenzel and Griese/Simms already there. Arizona?

nope!

Partly??? No partly about it.... he burned the blitz, period!! When you blitz, you can only ask your DBs to successfully defend for a few seconds. The blitz was set for Quincy to either get the ball off in 3 seconds, or take the sack. Well, the blitzer on the left side (not milloy) fugged up major... he allowed Carter outside of him.... that's bad on two counts.... 1) you've hung your CBs out to dry... they're defending for a 3-4 second period. by screwing up your blitz, You've now extended that time frame to 4-7 seconds... almost double. 2) you've allowed Quincy Carter outside the pocket... that is a no - no... that's where he excels... advantage Carter. McGee is not a "lock down" corner... in fact, the Bills do not have a "lock down" corner... so, when you blitz, you better get there and either hurry the throw or sack the QB cuz there's no one on the Bills roster that could have defended that pass... it was a TD the minute the blitzer allowed Carter outside the pocket.

... or, is there a QB controversy brewing in Jersey? I know many folks think Quincy Carter sux, but he burned Jerry Gray's blitz on Sunday. personally, I think he gives the Jets a different dimension. He is nothing but trouble when he gets outside the pocket. I certainly would not bury the Jets just yet.

dude... he's not a "rook", this is his 3rd season with the Bills. However, I agree that he'll get better... McGee could have slipped and no one would even be mentioning this had the blitz gone as it should have and either Carter was sacked or his throw altered. I still contend... you don't all out blitz and get beaten because the QB escaped... that's just plain stevestojan! I'm putting this one behind us.

so, the dude that missed his blitz assignment and allowed Carter to get outside the pocket, see downfield, set up, and throw to Moss gets a free pass while McGee, back there by himself, whiffs? What would you have said if it had been Antoine Winfield or Troy Vincent?

On McGee slipping to allow Santana Moss a long TD... Let me say this.... If you're going to blitz all out, like the Bills did on that play, you cannot allow the the QB to get outside of the pocket. Whoever was blitzing to the side Carter rolled to fugged up... plain and simple, not McGee. McGee's gaff never would have happened in the first place had the blitzer completed his assignment.

And Bledsoe, ditto?

Dude... we don't know that yet. Sunday's game is a "benchmark" game to see if this team is ready for primetime yet. If the bills win Sun., , that, coupled with the defensive changes (Vincent at FS) and the emergence of Willis, Evans, and the OL., this team may be able to win despite bledsoe. And, it appears that our special teams may be able to steal a game or two. You never know what is going to happen... injuries play a big part in things. If Pennington goes down, the Jets season is over. If Ty Law is out for a while, it changes the whole complexion of the Pats D. With Leftwitch out for a few weeks in Jax, that may put them in a big hole... and if Priest Holmes gets injured... or Marvin Harrison... you just never know how the race will turn out. That's why Sunday's game is pivotal... it's a division game, a revenge game, a "stand up and be counted" game, and a benchmark game. So, they win Sunday... 3-5 at the halfway point? It's significantly better than I would have envisioned 3 weeks ago. Now the Bills magic # becomes 7... they need to win 7 of 8... It all comes back to this Sunday... If the Bills lose.... no question about it... GAME OVER... piss on the fire and call in the dogs, the hunt is over. Start playing as if the slate were wiped clean and next season is just beginning.

go for it. If you decide not to, you can vent right here.

this is absolutely fabulous news. and wow... there has been no shortage of good news this week... 1) Bills win 2) Kerry loses, 3) Dems lose more seats in congress 4) arafat's impending death 5) hammer is down in Fallujah (hallelujah) 6) and now Spurrier to the Fins... guarantees the Bills a sweep each season he's there. All we need now is for Osama to be diagnosed with Brain cancer and then the Bills kick the stevestojan out of the jets...

Vincent pairing with Milloy??? Now there's some veteran savvy.

Sorry if this has already been reported Associated Press reports the Carolina Panthers have placed RB Rod Smart (knee) on Injured Reserve, officially ending his 2004 season.

Tucker hasn't played bad... but Teague is the starter at C and cleared to play after being injured for few weeks. I just don't know if it's such a good idea to plug him back in as the starter yet cuz we're beginning to get Willis untracked and the O line seems like it's just beginning to get it's stevestojan together a little bit. So, do we want to toy with that or work Teague back in slowly?

well steve, it sounds good, but I'm old enough to remember back in the 92 election when it was a 3 way race between the elder Bush, Ross Perot, and William Jefferson Clinton. Ross Perot got damn near 20% of the vote. The elder Bush took 33% of the vote and Clinton got 36%. Can you imagine that a president got elected with only 36% of the vote??? that means 64% of the voters didn't think he was worthy of their vote. Now, the votes that Perot got were about 80% Republican voters that voted for him instead of Bush... so if Perot doesn't run, the elder Bush would have gotten another 16% of the vote and he beats Clinton 49 to perhaps 39... a pretty huge victory.... If this happens, Monica Lewinsky never becomes an ashtray for a president and, thus, a household name. 4 years ago, a similar situation occured when Ralph Nader took around 7 percent of the vote as the third candidate. most all of those votes were Democrats that did not vote for Al Gore. Had Nader not run, Al Gore would have been president instead of GW. That didn't happen, so we'll never know what Al Gore would have invented or taken credit for that he didn't do in his 4 years in office. The moral of the story, Steve, the 3 candidates sounds like a great idea because we're used to having many options or choices in everything we do... but when it comes to voting for the presidency we all seem to line up just like the politicians... some to the left and some to the right. If a few of us voters try to be Mavericks and go neither Democrat or Republican... the Democrat or Republican that we don't like is going to win. So, Steve, instead of a third party or candidate, we just need 1 damn candidate that is worth a stevestojan and that 55-60% of the voters really like and have confidence in. I don't know if there's a single person out there that is embraced by that many voters.... although I have heard rumors that Donald Trump might bank roll Jesse Ventura in 2008.

Would you really want to jump on that ferry in December, January, Feb.... and March...??? Man, I've got to send you a copy of Gordon Lighfoot's "Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald"... I know it ain't lake Superior we're talking here... but it's pretty damn close. Definitely not for this kid... even with case under my belt.

Oh yeah.... preach it bro... he was definitely a force to be reckoned with... and a BIG difference maker

Yo Kotex... once again "bite me". What get's old is your continual Bledsoe apologies and clear lack of knowledge of the game and everything else in general. I'll bet you were a Jeff George apologist too.
