Excellent post! Well said.

I would sacrifice on the altar to the Gods both McCain *and* Obama if it meant a Bills Super Bowl victory. Hell, I'd sacrifice them to the Gods for a six-pack. Actually, just take them, please -- no consideration needed. Well, I'll waste my vote with a Ron Paul write-in, but at least I can say I voted my conscience.

Absolutely! "At the close of the Constitutional Convention in Philadelphia on September 18, 1787, a Mrs. Powel anxiously awaited the results and as Benjamin Franklin emerged from the long task now finished asked him directly, `Well, Doctor, what have we got? A republic or a monarchy?' `A republic, if you can keep it,' responded Franklin. " (several links avail to confirm this) Franklin knew (as did many of our other founding fathers) that it would be no easy task to keep a republic and that it could easily deviate into a democracy and/or into tyranny (which indeed seems to be what is happening).

Let's see -- a choice between two bowls of sh-- or a Super Bowl victory. I'll take the Super Bowl, thank you very much!!

NFL adopted the 2-point conversion in 1994.

Also, coming off a win maybe not a bad thing. If they were coming off of a loss, they would be extremely desperate and desperate teams are dangerous.

The bomb is great, but it only works when it gets set up with a successful short passing game along with an effective run game. In other words, the playbook the Bills have right now is perfect for setting up an occasional bomb, but to build an entire passing game around the bomb I don't think will work. You might make the highlight reel every other week, but the L's will mount up.

Yes, he would be a shot in the arm, but let's remember there's a reason he's being traded. Jackson provides more dynamics and future upside to this offense that TG ever could at this stage in his career. I say go for him, but keep it strictly draft pick only -- and no more than a 3rd rounder.

No, no, no -- Fred Jackson must stay.

Hit was needlessly high and wrecklessly close to a helmet-to-helmet. It wasn't so much the helmet contact as it was the driving into the ground. It also had to have been pretty clear to the defender that Edwards had already released the ball. He was intent on delivering a blow to Edwards with or without the football in Edward's hand. It's a tough game, but the QB has to be protected. I support the fine.

One of my biggest pet peeves is when interceptions are dropped. They are GAME CHANGERS and to blow those chances just KILLS. But I understand how it happens. The defender may be focusing his attention more on the receiver and not on the ball, but it's SOOO frustrating to see those chances dropped.

It will be their last break from routine until after they win the Super Bowl (hey, gotta think positive -- that's what they're playing for after all), so I think it is wise to rest this week. Good move by Jauron.

Agree, saying it can't get worse was an overstatement on my part. However, as you say, some sort of rotational situation would at least be in order at this point.

If his weight is down and he has a bum foot, then sit him down for 3 or 4 games so he can get himself healthy and get his weight right in order to regain his competitive edge. In the meantime, put Ellis in there and see what happens. I don't see how it could be much worse than it is now because Schobel is just getting pushed around to the point where his experience is not enough to offset what he is lacking physically.

Most definitely -- nothing contrived will do. Must be some real pain!

I like it! It can't be any worse than what we have to endure now. We'd have entertainment and elect a president -- win/win!!

It could even be a pay-per-view event -- biggest of all time!!

I wish they would settle it with an old-fashioned duel like Alexander Hamilton and Aaron Burr. I'm sick of listening to these idiots.

Well, I know there is a thread today advocating the banishment of the word “retarded” from the board (and I would generally be in agreement), but I think it fits here. What the hell was he thinking?! Amazing. Just amazing.

I hear you. Edwards is the leader of this team. However, the defense really has to show up. Sunday was humiliating. If this team has any serious playoff aspirations, then the defense needs to show up against the Chargers (Edwards or no Edwards).

I mentioned this in another thread, but also consider that last year the Super Bowl champin New York Giants lost to the Vikings 41-17 (in week 12, no less). Bad days happen. The Giants won the following week. What the Bills do against the Chargers will define this team.

Schoebel can't live on his reputation forever. He has to pick up his play. I'd like to see him moved down the depth chart and make Ellis the starter. Reminds me of Reuben Brown -- kept getting voted to the Pro Bowl year-after-year even after seasons that were less than stellar.

Consider this, the 2007 Super Bowl champion New York Giants had a couple of clunkers last season on their way to becoming champs: Week 2: Lost to Gren Bay Packers 35-13 Week 12: Lost to Minnesota Vikings 41-17 (very same score the Bills lost by today!) It happens. It was a bad day all the way around. How they rebound will be the key. The Giants won in weeks 3 & 13 following those clunkers.

Schobel seems like a no-show this season. Maybe it's time to give Chris Ellis some playing time.

You hate to see a timeout wasted, but this was such a pivitol play that it would have been worth losing the timeout to give it another look.
