Bills 24 Pats* 23 Winning FG is with :02 left on the clock. Bills lose time of possession, are significantly outgained but special teams score a TD, so does TO and Fast Freddy.

Agreed. The lines...the lines...the lines, doesn't matter which one.

And I'll be the second. Hope AVP can pull this off.

Dear God, please not a QB.

Exactly! I get the early bird $270 "deal," kinda pissed because it went up again. I only have the basic service with 2 boxes (non-HD) and no movie channels. The only reason I have it is because of the Bills. I pay $270 to watch about 12 Bills games a year (I tend to go to 4 or so games per year). I rarely watch any other football with the package. This is the first I've heard of side deals, I admit to not paying much attention to the threads on this. Is DTV offering lower prices on ST if you call and complain? I've been a subscriber since 2000, except 2002-04 when one of my apts didn't allow a dish on the roof (I know they can't do it, but it wasn't worth the fight; besides I went to McFaddens every Sunday).

One of the best comedies of all time.

I thought if Seymour doesn't report, and thus does not take his physical, the Raiders can void the deal and get their 1st rounder back.

Now you are talkin my language. Absolutely!

I have no idea. Guy signed TKO, Adams and a few other decent players. But there is scant little evidence that Guy ever unearths the proverbial diamond in the rough a la Bryce Paup.

Walker was a decent RT. Not sure why he wouldn't move back to RT if Bell was going to start at LT.

I agree. Sean DeLonas had a great cartoon today (its not online yet), showing a Dad saying to his wife "I'm not letting them watch Obama at school, it could warp their minds," Meanwhile the kids are playing violent and sexual video games sitting mere inches from the TV. Excellent juxtaposition.

AVP was home grown and kept on DJ's staff, so it wouldn't really be fair to call him a DJ guy. We can only hope for the lucky stick.

Thats what I fgured. Of course, Donahoe did sign Lawyer Milloy (on the wrong side of 30 to a L-T contract), so I think that goes out the window. Just speculating here but I think Pat wasn't one of Donahoe's guys and was a John Butler leftover, perhaps why he got the shaft.

OK, I'll ask because I was (and still am) confounded by the Pat Williams thing. At the time, I thought it was the worst move possible for the team. Here's a career Bill, with a wife and businesses in WNY, who just played the game of his life against Pittsburgh (one of the few who showed up) and was posied to excel even further after a consistent and honorable career. He should have been re-signed and retired a Bill and I was angry that Donahoe did not even try to re-sign Pat. Is there anything you can tell as to why Pat was not re-signed? If not (and not in a public forum), then thats OK too.

OK, now I'm getting angry. Anyone remember much in the way of formations or much movement in the K-gun? Didn't think so. It was 3 WR, 1 RB and a TE. Kept it simple and quick, the D was on its heels all game. If you are going to have players moving all over the field, pre-snap, and multiple formations, you WILL lose the benefits of the no huddle. I can see lots of illegal procedure penalties in our future if this is the way DJ wants the no-huddle to run. Hopefully, AVP see this and simplifies the offense to the 15-20 plays we run best and run them over and over again. Thats the only way it can be successful. Adding a play or two a week for specific opponents can work, but only when the bread-and-butter base offense has been mastered. We have heard about execution for years, but this is not rocket science. Don't overload the players, you will see better execution on the plays you run well. I really hate having such pessimism before the season even starts!

You mean like Captain Queeg Donahoe?

Well, we always have the bye week right, and Marty Schottenheimer is available.

We can only hope. What a friggin mess.

Agreed. But you have to figure that the system and the plays they practiced etc. are going to be what they run this year. No time to install anything new. So, basically AVP now calls the plays and we look stupid for firing our OC on the eve of the season. They could have given playcalling to AVP anyway. I just feel like we are a completely disorganized mess on the eve of the season. Very disheartening.

If this is true, what a friggin joke of a team we have...4-12, at best.

Perhaps, but I'm willing to make that leap. Teddy Kennedy understood incremental change and I think Obama is figuring it out as well. Want to create competition that will lower the cost for Americans with a stroke of a pen...easy, permit insurance companies to operate across state lines. Let every health insurance company operate in all 50 states. I can't take seriously any bill that does not cap medical malpractice awards in a worker's compensation style forum. Without that limitation, the bill is just pandering.

Started smoking cigarettes at 15, I'm 33 and have not made an attempt to quit yet.

I listened to this speech. If the Republicans really wanted to put a the final nail in Obamacare, they would just replay this speech (and say when Reagan gave it) as their response to Obama's speech on healthcare. If they play it on national TV, the debate is over and Obama loses. How appropriate and relevant it seems today, 47 years after it was given.

Outstanding list. Where is this from?

Interesting sidenote, the clock doesn't reset on the do-over. So, if a team is up 2 on Dallas with 2:00 to go, and Dallas forced a punt, I would just keep kicking the ball into the scoreboard until the game is over. The competition committee has to address this, but so far they have not addressed it.
