I completely disagree with your assessment. Royal's ability to drop half the balls thrown to him cancel out any potential benefit he provided in the blocking game. It's comparable to keeping a kicker that can kick off well but never make a critical field goal. This was particularly true given that the Bills had a quarterback like Edwards who heavily depended on a pass-catching TE. The release of Peters and having multiple rookies as starters has far more to do with the softness we're seeing with the line than Royal being let go. Shawn Nelson and Derek Fine are not the reason why the Bills OL cannot block.

FIRE DICK

This is just awful.

How sad, game has started and no posts...

Media: "Is there any consideration in putting Aaron Maybin in at the linebacker position?" DJ: "No." I guess he refuses to consider anyone other than a high-motor white guy.

Looks like Mr. Larry was right!

1) Probably. This team has a penchant for winning just enough games such that they can't improve via the draft but not enough to please the fanbase. Yesterday's game was horrific but they'll pull 2-3 more victories out of the season, and given the plethora of horrible teams this season, end up with pick #6 or so. 5) This is not a coincidence, and it must be driving the NFL nuts. So much for "celebrating" 50 years of the AFL when your original owners are completly inept. 8) Toronto would be insane not to market this game to Jet fans. Nice, long weekend in Toronto following a Thursday night beatdown of the Bills. 9) I think even Russ Brandon has run out of Kool-Aid at this point. The only thing that will placate the fans at this point is the hiring of a big-name coach like Cowher, Shanahan, or Schottenheimer. 10) I'm just sick of losing. Being the joke of the league. I don't give a **** how they fix it - I just want it fixed. I usually end up going to the NE* game because my buddy from college is a fan of theirs. After getting drubbed so badly in the last two home games against them, I didn't have the stomach to go this year. I am glad I didn't waste the money.

If this game doesn't get Jauron fired, I don't know what will.

What is half the distance of nothing?

Watch them win this on a safety

PLEASE FIRE DICK

HOLY CRAP.

The bills should go for the FG on third down if they lose the wind due to the end of the quarter.

Robert Royal drops one!

Red zone is 703

Yay, offsides!

Maybin is out there

I have never been to a windier game than last year's vs. NE*. This is nothing compared to that.

Safety alert...

You have a valid point. I guess I'm more annoyed at it this time of year because it's our company's giving campaign. Ads for that are on soft drink cans, emails from management asking for donations, and various events that take place during the month. I donate through the campaign solely to get my charities matching funds but honestly it's nobody's damn business what I give or who I give it to. It feels like no matter where I go (work, the grocery store, even driving down the street with the firemen holding their boots out blocking traffic) that I'm being asked for money. Hell, even the Catholic Church seems to be asking for more money now than they have before. I know I sound like a heartless SOB but at the same time I really feel like it's getting out of control. The funny thing is that when our work group volunteered a couple weeks ago at the food bank, we weren't solicited for money at all.

A couple months ago I moved to a new townhouse, which happens to be located within walking distance to a Safeway. Safeway is significantly more expensive to shop at compared to say, Fred Meyer - I find my bills to be 15-20% higher when shopping there, but am willing to pay a little for the convienence. One thing that really, really annoys me at Safeway is that their cashiers always ask for $1 donations to their charity of the month. MDA, breast cancer, prostate cancer, Easter Seals, etc. This isn't a one-time thing - they ask you every single time, and you end up getting asked twice if you use a credit card because the PIN pad asks you as well. Saying no makes you look like a tightwad in front of everyone behind you in line, and saying yes might mean that your donation doesn't even go to the charity at all. I commit annually to donate roughly 10% of my income to charity - that's a personal choice of mine. I don't want or deserve to publicly look like a schmuck in a checkout line because a conglomerate is too cheap to donate money from their own profits and instead hawks money from their customers.

The general rule is that if you lost your ID, you have to go through "SSSS" screening: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secondary_Sec...ening_Selection

That is because the Chiefs are playing a 1PM game on CBS, meaning that FOX is not allowed to show a 1PM game in the Kansas City market. They chose NO/BUF over CHI/SEA, probably to show an AFC team into a traditional AFC market.

I guess I'd like to understand how the NFL can black out Syracuse when the Bills fail to sell out, but don't designate them as a home market which would force CBS and FOX to show them in a situation such as this. Of course, it's not as bad as the Steelers fans who live in Erie have it.

Bump. This seemed to get lost in the shuffle last night.
