Player talent is not the issue. The Bills are close enough to "average" NFL talent to win in the right circumstances. What is so often forgotten in Buffalo is that success BEGINS with coaching in the NFL. The three main reasons the Bills project to stink this year are as follows:
1) Dick Jauron........not gameday sharp or innovative, ultra-conservative, questionable leadership and authority
2)Perry Fewell......only hired because he knows the system and nobody else was available. A literal "shot in the dark" hire.
3)Steve Fairchild......turned the greatest show on turf into a relative bore, but at least he shows promise the other two don't.
This team will only go as far as the coaching takes them, and the coaching looks very bad. Very bad coaching + below average talent = horrible football.
You're absolutely right. Any coach the Bills hire is only here because they can't get hired anywhere else. Same with the players. They all stink. My god, why do we waste our lives following this team???

The Game at NE with the bad Calls on NE's last drive (one 4th Down Call where the Replay clearly showed the Receiver was a Yard Short of the 1st Down when he went out of bounds, and the the PI Call on the Hail Mary)...Bledsoe threw a PA Pass for the Game Winning TD on the next Play after the PI I believe...
That Game for Me will always go down as the ultimate Regular Season screw-job...And was a HUGE reason why I could never quite swallow DB as a Bills QB...
I was at that game. Flutie, our little miracle worker, couldn't gain 1 yd for a 1st down to ice the game with a minute left. Instead we had to see that cluster-hosejob by the refs. I recall Wade Phillips pulled the team from the field in protest, so the extra point by NE was uncontested. So what did they do? Classy team they are, they ran it in for two!

Why not use "Rock, Paper, Scissors" to decide?
I turned the game on right after it was 1-1. I thought "Wow, 2 goals already? maybe we'll see some action!" WRONG. I saw one scoring chance off the Zidane header, and a spectacular save by Buffon.
After the Zidane head-butt, I was glad to see Italy win. That was an unbelievable move by a team captain who should know better.
When does REAL football season start?

Paradise actually lowered the min deposit to $20.....I'm with you, I don't like making a larger deposit than that either. I don't knwo about private tables there, though. I do have a great deal of confidence in their customer service, which is why I switched to them in the first place.
I'm game either way, too, I'm just big on customer service response time when I'm giving them my money.....it may just be an isolated incident..... If you guys vouch for the site, though, that's good enough for me. I just want to make sure I'm able to cash out the money I'm going to win
I just played on iy and it seems fine. Try activating your account again. Maybe try using a different browser when you do. I know it got stuck the first time for me. But I could play at Paradise if you'd prefer.

Couple of years ago against the Pats. The NE fumble in OT the refs overruled because the WR's shoelace was out of bounds and a drip of droll was still touching the ball.

I'm a bit uneasy with the customer service there....I never got an email with my activiation code, so I sent off an email to customer service last night. I got an automatic response saying that they've rec'd it and I was a big priority or whatever, but never heard a thing. I sent off another one today and still nothing.....If I'm the only one with this issue, I guess it's no biggie...but I get uneasy when I don't have immediate access to their customer service reps. I've had no such issues with Paradise Poker, nor at Pacific when I used to play there....but I don't have any experience with pokerroom.com
I had trouble getting my activation code, until I switched browsers to Firefox, and it worked immediately.
I belong to Paradise Poker as well, but the minimum cah transaction there (list time I did it) is $50. I'm not making that large a cash commitment.
PokerRoom.com is one of the few sites that has private tourneys available. Also it seems that you don't have to download their software. They have an online java room you can play. And the minimum transaction is $10 (and they give you 20% bonus.)
I'm open to trying something else if you want to make a suggestion.

It's set for Tuesday 7/11 @ 9pm ET. Go to www.pokerroom.com. Open the java software to play. Choose "tournaments", then select "private". Look for "promorobot's" tourney. Password for entry is "2billsdr" all lower case. Max of 50 players, minimum of 5, $11 buy-in.

Okay...
www.pokerroom.com/ has private tournaments available. I just opened an account there. Tournaments can be set for $5, $10, $20 etc. buy-ins (house rake extra) $10 is the minimum transaction.
What say we plan a game for next week? I propose Tuesday night at 9pm Eastern. $10 a head. ($11 with rake) Prizes for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd. Minimum 10 players, but more are welcome.
If interested, you'll need to register at www.pokerroom.com/ and make a deposit. (at least $11) Please PM me if Tuesday 7/11 9pm ET works for you. So who's in?

One big reason I signed up with Sirius is the NFL coverage. So I'm wondering:
1) Do they carry the Bills Radio Network PBP every week? Or is it like NHL Center Ice where you might get Ric Jennertte, or you get the other team?
2) How much delay is onthe broadcast, if I want to listen to that while watching TV?
3) Do they carry pre- and post-game coverage?
4) How about during the week? (not the generic Sirius NFL talk, but actual Bills stuff)
5) Do they carry pre-season games?
6) How do you know which channel to tune into?

That statement reminds me of all the stupid-a$$ soap operas my wife watches. Every hot 20-something actor, male or female, will give up a body part for a baby. Then when they get one, the kid vanishes. They usually "go to live with a relative upsate." This after the many monologues on how they can't go on living unless they have their precious child! Then a year later, the kid shows up, already 18 years old, wanting...you guessed it...a baby!

Would anyone like to oragnize an online poker tourney for TBD'ers? No big buck buy-ins. Just a friendly game to kill an evening. Wha'dya'say?

One of these days i am going to enter the WS of Poker...just need to come across the $10 grand first
Actually i'd probably be better off entering some of the lesser known tourneys as opposed to the main event. Fewer people, better odds.
Either way, free alcohol and hookers is always a plus.
I'd like to meet the sap who ponies up 10-large for the WSOP and is the first one out because he bluffs all in with a 6-2 unsuited. With 10K you can have a lot of fun in Vegas.

It's a tricky thing, because any one of us who had some fun while under the age of 18, with a girlfriend under the age of 18, is technically guilty of statutory rape. So how do you legally define one thing sexual assault and the other "kids being kids?"

Baffle 'em with bulls**t. It always works.

Awww, it'll all come down to which team gets a penalty kick. Game over.

Of course, unfounded pessimism is just fine and dandy. Knock yourselves out!

Well, It would definitly be a good fight, seeing as how Angle was an olympic wrestling champion, so you know he can actually wrestle.
Say what you will about the WWE, but just because the results are predetermined, doesn't mean these guys can't actually fight and wouldn't stand a chance against a "Real Fighter" like someone from UFC
Did you just say that just because a guy fights in fake fights doesn't mean he can't fight for real? I guess that's true. But on the other hand, just because a guy fights in fake fights doesn't mean he CAN fight!

What does the research say about grown men who spend all day debating trivial aspects of a certain professional football team that plays in an economically-depressed rust-belt city?

If our coaches are half-way capable of getting these players to play, and considering our cupcake schedule, it's not impossible we go 10-6.
Right now, I can't make any predictions. I really feel the schedule is a cakewalk, but I just don't know what we have in our coaching staff and players. If it's more of the "Mullarkey Follies" then it will be a long year.
But I also think that Marv Levy knows what he's doing. I believe we have the start of a great team and great coaching staff. I guess the question is: how long will it take to click?
