My thoughts on the list (re-ordered to refelct likelihood). Although after going through this...im not sure there is a "good" spot for him. NY Jets* - Possible. Organization is a mess, but alot of it is Sanchez, it is in a big market, and near his brother. Seems the most likely destingation Washington Redskins** - Ugh. Not bad on paper, but this place eats quarterbacks and spits them out. Not sure this is the right spot for him. Kansas City Chiefs - Bad division, but team is not good either. Could make the playoffs with KC Seattle Seahawks - I dont see Peyton making the difference, but could be an option. St Louis Rams - Tough call. Fisher would be a good coach for him, but are they ready to give up on Bradford? Miami Dolphins** - Dont think they really have a chance to win with Peyton. Jacksonville Jaguars - Dont think they really have a chance to win with Peyton. Buffalo Bills - Dont think they are playoff Material with manning (wrote this from the outsiders perspective) Cleveland Browns** - Even Peyton coulndt take this team to the SB Tampa Bay Bucs - Alot of money to spend when you already have a good young QB on the roster Arizona Cardinals - Just unloaded a ton of money for a Kolb. Minnesota Vikings** - Cant see them giving up on Ponder yet. Denver Broncos* - How would the fans react to this one?! Cant see them going in any direction other than Tebow. Baltimore Ravens* - Just made the AFC Championship game with Flacco. NOt a chance San Francisco 49ers* - Alex Smith might be better than Peyton Manning at this point

Another Bogus 1st round RB Selection McGahee when we have Henry Lynch when we have McGahee Spiller when we have Lynch All this...and our best RB during that time is Fred Jackson. STOP DRAFTING FIRST ROUND RBs.

If thats the case, then the NFL should just ban Tony Romo from the league right now. Not a chance he is going to a game without a slur being made.

Tells me that sometimes you gotta stick with a guy you believe in. You cant be changing QBs every 2 years. People forget, but Drew Brees was AWFUL too. Until San Diego drafted Phillip Rivers to replace him. Some players just "get it" a bit later than others. Unfortunately, in Buffalo, we run these guys out of town too early. IMO should have given JP and Trent more time...but more importantly, COMMITTED to them for a few years rather than constantly trying to run them out of town.

I am a big fan of the "draft a QB in round 6/7 every year" mentality. You dont expect those guys to make it anyway, and you always need a young QB. So I wouldnt have a problem taking Keenum, but my opinion is that he wont make it in the NFL. JUST DO NOT TAKE A RB IN ROUND 1.

Spend our 7th on him...and im happy.

If they even take another RB...I want to say "i'm done"...but i know thats not realistic. I dont care if Walter Payton is sitting there when we pick...DONT TAKE ANOTHER @#$%^ RUNNING BACK. Okay...deep breath...

Seriously...is there a website anywhere that lists all the bills heartbreaking losses over the last 10 years? It would be horrible to read, but I gotta think we have WAY MORE than our fair share.

Really? You're a bills fan right? How many times have you had 58 minutes of excitement followed by 2 minutes (or 2 seconds) of disappointment? Wide Right Home Run Throw-Back The Dallas Monday Night Debacle Jacksonville Last-Second Catch The New England Opener Last Year And thats just off the top of my head...I'll take 58 minutes of bordom and 2 minutes of excitement as long as it comes away with a W. (By the way, NOT a Tebow advocate at all...)

Yep. Thanks. Thats clearly what I meant. So you mean to tell me that if we improve to .500 next year and are finally on the up-take that you would fire Gailey and try again? I think not. 6-10 gets him fired. So does 7-9. 8-8 or better next year is an improvement and worth keeping him around for another season.

Here's my problem. YOU DONT DRAFT A RUNNING BACK IN THE FIRST ROUND! (And if you do, you damn well better hit a home run). Look through the league. Any number of teams have good RBs who they have picked up later in the draft. A quick sampling: Fred Jackson - undrafted Turner - 5th Round Murray - 3rd ROund Gore - 3rd Round Foster - Undrafted Greene - 3rd Round Hillis - 7th Round Bradshaw - 7th Round ...I am sure there are others (and I'll spare you the Terrell Davis's) Point is, RB is THE ONE POSITION where you can almost literally plug someone in and have them be successful. Maybe CJ isnt the guy, but guarentee you plug CJ in, White, and a couple other guy and eventually you will find you next Fred Jackson or Arian Foster. And it DIDNT cost you much money or any draft picks.` Because of that, it was asinine to draft Willis McGahee when you had Travis Henry. But it was no more ridiculous than drafting Marshawn Lynch when you had Willis McGahee. Nor was it any more insane when they drafted Spiller when Lynch was on the roster. Those are 3 wasted picks to me (and they were at the time as well). Lets stop this. We can never draft another RB in the first round for as long as I am alive and I will be happy. We waste enough first rounders when we actually pick a position that is difficult to fill. STOP WITH THE RBs.

In my opinion, he is on the hot seat next season. Gotta get to .500 next season or he is gone.

Well, First Half Recap. LSU - ZERO first downs..12 TOTAL yards. Down just 10-7.

Lots of good players in this game. Ogletree from GA is impressive too

So I think playoffs odds are pretty high if we go 10-6. It is conceivable for us to make it even at 9-7, although that is unlikely. Basically we have to assume either Pittsburgh or Baltimore will get a Wild Card Slot. That leaves ONE more spot. So, first things first, we need to pass the Jets for 2nd place in the Division. The Jets have an easy Schedule, so we need them to start losing Now. Big Game for them against the Redskins this week. Then they have to play KC, Phi, NYG and MIA. Cincinatti is also problamatic. We need them to lose both games against PIT/BAL, and at least one more game (HOU, STL, ARZ) I think thats about it. I was worried about Tennessee, but when we beat them this weekend, we will have a tiebreaker over them. Same with Denver. Bottom line, the previous poster was right. We need to win out...Jets need to lose 2/5. Cincinatti needs to lose 3/5. I think the ladder two are likely to occur...the former is the bigger obstacle.

See...this is a preference thing. I have heard countless people say "A window is good enough because you're hardly ever in your cabin anyway." My wife and I are the EXACT OPPOSITE. We enjoy sitting on our private balcony reading a book and watching the ocean go by. We enjoy sitting out there at night, smelling the salt water with only the moonlight and stars above us. Needless to say, we spend a good amount of our time on our balcony. For us it is DEFINITELY worth it, and we could never cruise without one. But clearly there is an alternative position, and it all depends on your personal preference. But then again, we are probably the worst passengers on a cruise line! We dont drink (much), We dont gamble (at all). We dont eat in the specialty resturaunts because we dont see the point when the dining room is so good. We DO get the ship excursions because we like the safety factor of getting back to the boat. Basically when we get our bill, its Tips and maybe a t-shirt or something...they must hate us

Couple tips...Sorry if you know these already. 1) Bring an alarm clock of some sort (or some way to tell time), your room may not have one, and your cell phone may not work. 2) Bring Dress Clothes, or at least a Suit Jacket for a Guy. There will likely be a "Formal" night. Different cruise lines have different rules, but you may not be able to eat in the dining hall on formal night if you dont have a jacket. 3) Try to not over-pack. Easier said than done. No need to bring Beach Towels. 4) Know the Cruise Lines rules on bringing on Alcohol. Most will not allow it. If you buy it in port, they will store it until the last day on-board. 5) Most lines are "cashless". You wont need ANY cash on-board, but you will need some if you plan on buying things ashore. If you are in Europe, try to find an ATM machine affiliated with your Bank to take out cash. 6) Drinks are EXPENSIVE. Plan for $6-7 each. 7) Dont even think of skipping the safety drill! Cruises are a TON of fun...even though I just made it sound like there are 1,000 rules to abide by. If you are a "sit on the beach and drink" kind of guy, you will clearly be a "sit on the balcony and drink" kind of guy. Have fun!

In my opinion, Baltimore and Pittsburgh are both going to the playoffs. Dont see it happening any other way. The remaining wild card slot is between Buffalo, NY Jets, and Tennessee. Since Buffalo plays both the Jets and Tennessee, those games are critical. Just cant see Cincinnati pulling this off...but if they do, their road goes through Baltimore and Pittsburgh, so they will supplant either Baltimore or Pittsburgh as the one wildcard from the North. I think 10-6 gets us in...or 9-7 with wins over both Tennessee and NY Jets.

Funny...a couple years ago people were ragging on him that he ran 10 yards past the QB. Now he is remembered playing hard every snap. Not passing any judgement, just amazed at how much difference 2 years makes on perception.

3-4-5: 49ers-Bills-Lions... Who woulda thought?

Wow. Both those guys were wrong. Harbaugh...shake his hand, congratulate him for a hard-fought battle...and go into the locker room. Schwartz, dont chase him down and start a brawl. Walk back to your locker room, hold your head up in knowing you are a better man than he is. Ugly event for both coaches.

Seems like a fun game NY Giants L Sun. Oct. 23 BYE WASHINGTON* W NY JETS W at Dallas L at Miami W at NY Jets L TENNESSEE W at San Diego L MIAMI W DENVER W at New England L 10-6

That would take some kind of miracle...losing 3 games, yet going 14-2....

Okay, your right...he only led the Giants TO the superbowl.

I dont quite get the pessimism on the Colts. Sure they lose Manning...They still have Reggie Wayne, Joseph Addai, Dallas Clark, Pierre Garcon, Austin Collie and SUPER BOWL WINNING QB Kerry Collins. While they might not make the playoffs, expecting them to go 3-13 or worse is quite ridiculous in my opinion. I put them at 9-7 or 8-8 without Manning.
