Tortured Soul

Partial answer: It seems a lot of the dumb passes are called runs that are audibled to passes. for example, the interception yesterday and the 3rd and goal from the 2 last week. So, the question becomes, why does the coach allow the QB to audible?

I know you're joking. I'm not so sure you are.

http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/recap;_ylt=Amc...gid=20081130002 What’s it say about the fading Bills (6-6), who have lost five of six and seem destined to extend their playoff drought to nine seasons? Buffalo players heard about it from their once-loyal fans, who vented their frustrations as the team left the field. Kicker Rian Lindell drew the most ire after having two field-goal attempts bounce off the uprights. Fans angrily called for him to retire as the placekicker walked slowly up the tunnel without looking up. Lindell blamed himself, discussing an uncharacteristic performance after he had hit 53 straight attempts from 40 yards or closer. “There’s plenty of room for it to go through. I just …” Lindell said, his voice trailing off. “Today, that’s ridiculous.” Left tackle Jason Peters stopped at one point and began shouting something back at the fans. And several cups were thrown down, one nearly hitting receiver Roscoe Parrish.

The week before, in Orchard Park, the fans threw cups at the players. Which do you prefer? Which, if you were a player, would you prefer? We scored 3 points at the Ralph. We scored 3 points in Toronto. Even factoring exchange rates, I'm not seeing the difference.

So you only respect people you agree with?

I know you know this, but the Bills get the same $78 million if anyone shows up or not.

Relax, I'm just playing with you. At least you still have passion about the team. I'm numb to it.

Right there

We just lost to the Niners and Browns at home. Why do you think we're forfeiting some great advantage?

No chance? I'll put up a dollar if you give me a million to one.

WNY made Ralph very wealthy only if you ignore the possiblity of Ralph moving the team to another market and becoming even wealthier.

He's talking about a Donte Whitner facebook quote, I think. As for the self-righteous complaints about the lack of enthusiasm for Miami, in the past couple of years, the December Miami games have either not sold out or struggled to. The rivalry is either dead or a myth. But either way, let it go.

I'm not going to go back and look for articles, but I remember hearing a lot more about his maturity last year than his youth. When I heard him next to rookie, it was more along the lines of "he sure doesn't look like a rookie." What do you say Dean? You happy with his play?

They weren't calling Willis young his first year either. And having a full camp and playing three games, then studying under NFL coaches for the next three months isn't the same as being a rookie, either.

Sully made the point in yesterday's chat that you don't here people calling Patrick Willis "young." SDS, the counterargument, I guess, is do you think change for change's sake will be enough to get fans to buy in? If the next coach is anyone other than Bill Cowher (maybe Spagnuolo, maybe Schottenheimer), will fans be excited and the season-ticket base stay at the point it's at now?

http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/features/talent I wonder what sinister motives he must have. Trying to trick us, perhaps. We're on to you, Mort. We hate you.

Jauron was a COTY. Just wondering, who out there meets your definition of "real competent coaches"? And who is a Bill Parcells type? Cowher, and...

He didn't run a corner. He ran a fade - exactly as he was supposed to. You can't tell me the Bills didn't have a better shot throwing to him there instead of trying to force it to Parrish over the middle.

That isn't a rumor. It's an opinion piece by Leo Roth.

3rd worst - Cin and Det.

What about Takeo's return? I'll cheer him!

My Toyota was made in California.

I added it up once. About 80% of 10-6 teams make the playoffs. About 15% of 9-7 teams do.

Go Bills!

Go Bills!
