Take classes in the offseason. I'd rather be taking classes part-time while I count my #1 pick bonus money rather than be a proud colege graduate and middle manager in some fortune 500 company because I got injured my Junior year. This is also coming from someone who has multiple degrees.

I agree. DeHaven has been terrible. I really wish we could have kept our D and SP coordinators from last year. I'd rather have April and Fewell than DeHaven and Edwards

Again, the issue is not a blackout, it is the rebroadcasting of the game without the express written authorization of the NFL. That being said, the NFL will never give these sites written permission because it makes services like the Sunday Ticket superfluous. In short, they have contracted with Direct Tv to broadcast the games and will never allow people to see an out of market game for free. I don't agree with downloading movies and music online without paying for them, but this is equivalent to selling air, which is free anyway. If CBS is broadcasting a game, we should be able to watch it without paying for it like a PPV.

My apology. I was a a bit pissy at not being able to tune in to the game and I thought you were being snarky. Must be that time of the month.

Why are all these people bailing out of your foxhole? What are you trying to do to them in there?

Our oline has been playing much better as of late.

Worked for me. Thanks SDS

No one is talking about the blackout. As far as rights to broadcast, no it is not that cut and dry. The internet sites are mirroring a broadcast already in progress by CBS, they are not cutting the raw feed. The issue is REBROADCAST. Since you felt like talking down to everyone on the board, I thought I'd respond in kind with a tart and petty answer.

What happened? I can't watch the game.

I agree 100%. You forget they makes big bucks prostituting the game by selling the rights to the Sunday ticket to Direct TV. The NFL only cares abouth the bottom line, not fan enjoyment or player safety. I never buy anything off their website and I suggest everyone else follow suit.

Anyone have any luck? Wonderful. Well that's neat

Our offense is not the reason we are winless, they have been playing well enough to win half our games. Our D allowing an AVERAGE of 178 rushing yards per game IS responsible for the team's season. They've been having a better game today and guess what, we've mostly been playing 4-3. 3-4 conversion was an ego thing from Edwards. We should have slowly started using more 3-4 schemes and then converted over next year once we picked up more players who could play in that system. I hope George Edwards gets fired after the season.

We have more undrafted rookie FAs contributing to this team than drafted rookies. Chan's stock answer to any personnel questions is "we are evaluating talent all the time to put the best team on the field." That answer, which is the only thing you'd get from our HC, is a terrible indictment of our draft. The natural follow-up question then is "why are we not drafting well enough that our drafted players can't beat out UDFAs?" Carrington is NEVER active. Troupe never sees the field (at least it's because Williams is playing well). Wang had to be converted to another position. We cut one of the Tackles we drafted and we have 2 guys out for the year. So Moats, a 5th rd pick and Spiller (in a limited way) are the ONLY drafted rookies even regularly contributing to the team. How can Ralph possibly justify not firing Modrak? In my opinion (I believe most of the board's opinion), Modrak has single-handedly gotten 4 coaches fired due to the utter lack of talent he has gotten us in the draft. Can we please start a FireModrak.com website or something? He is the devil. I'll put money towards it.

The ticker is just picking up on Chan's comments Friday saying he would not rush Merriman back from injury and that he didn'tknow when he would play. Hence "indefinitely."

Addition by subtraction and addition I like it!

edit's not working. Meant RT

You admittedly watch him for 7 snaps and declare his performance poor? I have only read half of your post, but I declare it to be lackluster and written dim-wittedly. I DID watch him for most of the game when I rewatched the whole game and he performed very well. Considering it was his first start and he was playing against a great D who was blitzing like crazy, I would say he did amazing. He has the tools to start for us at LT.

The kid was our 1st rounder 2 drafts ago. This coaching staff won't even put him on the field for more than 2 plays a game and our defense is TERRIBLE. Are we going to wind up cutting this moron? I'd at least like to see them stick him in there for a majority of the defensive snaps for a few games and let him learn the hard way.

WALKOUT or BROWN paper bags! I'm for the paper bag idea, seeing as how it would be hypocritical of me, having chosen not to purchase game tickets, to tell others to waste their hard-earned cash by leaving a game halfway through. I do think we should start a letter=writing campaign. We have enough members here on the board to do it. We could create a basic template in word and have people fill out the reason's why they want ralph to sell the team and promising not to support the team financially until he does. Maybe contact someone in the media (Lori if she's interested) and alert them of the campaign to garner more attention. A couple thousand letters from TBD would at least be an affront to the marketing machine at OBD.

No one with any credibility will come here. Not while we have a joke of an owner who only gives jobs through cronyism.

What the hell is a titantic? Zing!

I just switched back to anger after looking at bb.com and seeing Chris Brown's ridiculous blogs. Sure, it's a given that he is not a journalist, but rather a pathetic cheerleader masquerading as a reporter, but he refuses to even acknowledge that we sucked. Instead, he tries to rally fans around the fact that Sanchez made some comment about how many points they could have scored on us. The organization is either blind, or they realize they don't need to field a competitive team anymore and they can still make a profit.

I think I'm drifting similarly between acceptance and depression. Just when I think I have accepted that we are beyond redemption, they play decently against NE and get my hopes up again.

As a free service to members of this board suffering the stages of grief stemming from the death of hope for a brighter tomorrow for the Buffalo Bills, I have listed them in order. Feel free to diagnose yourself and medicate appropriately.

Cutting! I don't want to talk to you no more, you empty headed animal food trough wiper. I fart in your general direction. Your mother was a hamster and your father smelt of elderberries.
