You'll never get to Heaven... or even to L.A. if you don't believe there's a waaaayyyyy...

I've said it before and I'll say it again... I would not trade Trent Edwards for ANYONE. This guy is going to be a GREAT one.

Does anyone think that it's possible the Bills F.O. had a handshake agreement with Ye Ole' Battlin' Bill Polian and the Colts that they were trading McCargo to pick up an extra fourth to add in a potential Gonzalez deal (ie 3rd + 4th for TG). KC didn't need another DT and wanted picks, but the Bills, per Shefter were only willing to part with a 3rd + some other compensation to sweeten the pot, but were not willing to give up a 2nd. When Gonzalez crossed Buffalo off his wish list, the deal wasn't going to happen regardless of Buffalo offering a 3rd and 4th. Thus, a day or two later we get a bogus bulging disc story about McCargo and he is returned to the Bills. The Bills never made any moves to replace this roster spot while McCargo was in limbo, so it would seem that the move was simply to set up another move (for T-Go) as had been speculated. Thus the handshake agreement between the Colts and Bills is enacted and they find a way to return McCargo to Buffalo as the Gonzalez deal never came to fruition. What say you?

Why, I certainly did! And it's a good thing too, because we need number 88 to suit up this Sunday! It went a little something like this: Take me out to the ball game... Take me out to the crowd... Trent will throw screens and square in routes... If we get down we can always come back! Root! Root! Root! for Gonzalez... If we don't trade it's a shame! For it's 1... 2... 3 TD tosses from Trent to ole TG!

Ye Ole Cotton emailed him too! Surely this will sway the young man!

Hopefully Trent packs a lunch, boyeeeeee!!!! Ye Ole Cotton's prediction: 2 TD's to TG! The offense hangs 31 on the Bolts while holding the ball for 40 minutes. The D holds the Bolts to 13 and everyone is amazed at how much better they look since the debacle in the desert. Perhaps it's because Trent brings a lunch and keeps our D off the field? An interesting concept, indeed. Despite not having a handle on the offense, Gonzalez will be a huge emotional lift in this game. When he enters the game, the Ralph will explode!

When the gift of ODE TO CORNBREAD is brought to the board, it is truly a special time. One that must be celebrated.

Trent steps up under center... The offense turns into a machine Feeling pressure all around him... Always keeps his jersey clean He plays with intuition... The opposing DB's fall That Hollywood Trent Edwards Sure plays a mean football! Trent is a football wizard, it's got to be a twist! A football wizard's got such a suppplllleee wrriiiiissstt!

Oh Cincy... if only JP and the cover 2 could've buttered thine biscuit, perhaps then our cornbread would not have gone dry!

After starting 4-0... Cornbread oh cornbread, why hath thou gone dry? For JP and the cover 2 could not butter Thine buscuit, and the fans were left to cry

Deano, here's my take on this situation. There's a certain intangible quality of some QB's that lifts their team up to a higher level of play. I can't explain it, and it's not overly logical, but it is a phenomenon that goes part and parcel with the QB position. I really like JP, and I want JP to succeed. He really came to Buffalo and seemingly embraced the city and did all the right things. But, for some reason the guy gets in the game and this team becomes mediocre. JP wasn't at fault for much of today's drubbing, and he in fact made plays that Trent simply cannot. But, at the end of the day, I truly believe this team doesn't get beaten 41-17 today with Trent Edwards in the game. Why? I don't know. Why is Doug Flutie the only QB to lead this team to the playoffs in the 12 seasons since Kelly retired? I'm not particularly a fan of Doug Flutie, and RJ in many cases could make throws that Doug simply could not. But, at the end of the day, when RJ came into the game, disaster was looming on the horizon. I'm sure many will flame away at me for this post, and like I said, I really do like JP and concede that he made some great plays today to keep the Bills in the game early, but for whatever reason the machine just doesn't run nearly as well when he's inserted into the equation.

I know Deano and Ye Ole Cotton would be sucking wind after a lap or two! Especially after an infamous night o' clubbin with Ye Ole Cotton!

It was just a topic for discussion... something to talk about in the middle of the week. Not saying they WILL win it all, but I certainly am seeing signs of the pieces coming together to make another run at it.

Simple question... If this team led by Trent Edwards is the one that finally brings a Super Bowl victory to Buffalo, where would it rank vs. the teams of the early 90's? I've been pondering this a great deal over the past couple of days and I must admit I'm not entirely sure. On one hand they would be the only Bills team to do it. In theory that should earn them the title of greatest Bills team ever. But on the other hand, there's a part of me that feels like no matter what this present or future Bills teams may accomplish, I'm always going to hold those early 90's teams in the highest regard. Or perhaps some of the more "mature" fans among us, hold the AFL Championship teams above the rest? Please discuss... what say you?

Agreed. Buffalo to St. Louis is 744 miles, per MapQuest. Now we're talking city center to city center here, so give or take a few miles. You could make it in about 11 hours by automobile per the turn by turn directions. Now, using the airrouting.com website, we input the data, flying from Buffalo Niagara INTL to Lambert St. Louis INTL at an avg. speed of 460 Kts, it yields a trip time of 1 hour and 31 minutes. You were right on the money with 90 minutes Alaska Darin! Taking this into account, there is no reason at all not to come back to Buffalo. This isn't even in the realm of a questionable decision by Dick Jauron. Come home, get a week of practice in and go to AZ.

MAROON!

No... and neither is Vince Young IMHO. Ultimately I think that's going to be the undoing of the Titans. They had a physical defense last year as well and played inspired football but it was the QB position that let them down to a large degree. As long as #5 stays healthy we'll have a very important edge at that all important position.

Ye Ole Cotton was happy about being 4-0, especially with Denver and Dallas falling from the ranks of the unbeaten. But once again Capn' Ralonzo hath pissed in me corn flakes!

Our time is NOW!!!!!!!!!!! WHOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It's amazing that we're seriously debating this right now. The fact that we are says a lot in and of itself.

"Dallas has big oil and big blonde hairdo's... we have the Bills, that's who we are." Tell me there will be a dry eye in the house if we beat the Cowboys in the Super Bowl this year.
