Honestly, unless I was at the tail end of my career and hoping desperatly for a ring in the next year or two, I would go for the money. Especially if I knew I was guarenteed a starting spot on the offensive line and though I could make a difference. You are looking at this a bit wrong though. We are not going to go after a RB, LB, QB or S. We are set at those positions. We are going to go after the positions of need. There are only so many starting RT positions in the league. If you are a good RT, your only options are those few teams that need one. Its not really where you WANT to go, its really where you CAN go. Thats #1. Then Money is #2. Then personal preferences such as family, friendships & team status round out the top 5. The fact we are in Buffalo probably hurts us more than us being a mediocre team

Yeah, this is going to get way more play than it needs to. This kind of thing happens many times a day in the military. Its quite common. There is no bad blood here, nobody is getting hurt, its just some people trying to let off a little steam. Granted its probably not the best idea in the world, but the only thing different here than what happens every day in the military is that a) its a woman and b) its on tape. Moving on...

Yeah, we really should have went for it there. Punting was the wrong call.

I disagree. But instead of me telling it, ill let billsdaily speak for itself Terrence Pennington got his second start at right tackle as part of the OL shakeup. He got beat for two sack in one on one battle with Robert Mathis. Jason Peters lost his battle with Dwight Freeney. Peters got away with a facemask on one play and was beat on another that forced Losman to step up and take a sack by Anthony McFarland who beat Mike Gandy on the play. Freeney finally got a sack of his own in the 2nd half ending a potential winning scoring drive with a missed field goal. Grade F: Pathetic is the norm from this unit. Four more sacks given up.

And the excuse is ALWAYS "we need an offensve line"....Until we get an OL, we cant really tell how good or bad our QB is.

I like him as well....however I hate him on gameday when he is lined up against the bills.

Not that I think it makes a huge difference...but it cant hurt!

Ind has a mean passing Defense. Gotta pound the ball against them. Keep them off the field. If A-Train can carry 30-40 times today, I think we win.

In fairness, he did go to RPI, so while this decision was poor, its clearly one of the smarter decisions he made in his hockey career.

Can you imagine the hillarity if Rutgers beats WVU, goes undefeated. Ohio State beats Michigan. BCS decides to put Ohio State up against USC (or really any 1 loss team) and Rutgers vs. Michigan. USC beats Ohio State, Rutgers beats Michigan Rutgers has now beaten Louisville, WVU and Michigan and is undefeated, yet USC is the national champion. Oh, a man can dream cant he? I really hate college football. The only reason I watch anymore is to root for the BCS to be as screwed up as possible. Every year I think I get my wish, and every year it just gets better. Get a playoff system NOW.

Not bad...I'm partial to this one (just because its different):

Right, because clearly Cheney, Rice, Powell and Rumsfeld were all outsiders during the Bush I presidency.

First off, I dont think people making the minimum wage are considered middle class. But beyond that, the mere fact that a reduction in the minimum wage will allow companies to hire MORE people and increase productivity, or provide an incentive to keep their companies in the united states vice packing up and moving overseas is a big step in the right direction.

Mom was okay with that? LOL

Best part is (if they beat WVU), how can the BCS deny an undefeated team in a BCS conference the national championship game? secondly, this isnt Utah or Boise state, or TCU or whoever else has finished undefeated in past years. this is a team with a legit chance at a national championship, is a BCS school, and has beaten 2 top 10 teams (assuming again, they beat WVU). This could be the straw (no, elephant), that FINALLY breaks the BCS back. But they better beat WVU, or its all for naught IMO.

Man this post has got me thinking...I remember someone i once met in the military whose position was a second class "Iinterior Communications Electrician" Last name Cox. That made all his paperwork say "IC2 Cox"

Outsourcing DOES hurt our economy. Jobs are going overseas, people are unemployed and not paying taxes. Welfare rolls increase. But the solution is NOT to force companies to stay here via tarrifs. What we need to ask ourseleves is why, with america being one of the largest consumer of commercial goods in the world, would a company choose to start making their product on the opposite side of the world and leave america? Think about what they gain and lose 1) Distribution Network 2) Trained Employees 3) Gain Added Shipping Expense 4) Need to train new employees 5) Need to maintain product Quality This is a big struggle for a company. So if they do it, there HAS to be a reason. And the reason is that the United States cannot compete with many developing nations on a tax basis. Its simply much cheaper for a company to manufacture cars in china and ship them to the united states than it is to manufacture them here. It has to be. Its the only logical conclusion. Why is the cost of bussiness higher in the US? Well, for starters, the minimum wage is comparatively very high in the US. So any company who employs alot of minimum wage earners, its a no brainer to look elsewhere. Secondly, corporate taxes are higher in the US. The solution to the problem is not to force comanies to stay here, but to give them reasons to. LOWER the minimum wage, LOWER corporate taxes.

I like this one: P.J. Hiscock http://www.uscho.com/stats/player.php?pid=2101&gender=m I remember listening to a mercyhurst hockey game, and the annoucer came out these few beauties during the play by play (likely intentuionally): - Good job keeping it in by Hiscock - Boy Hiscock is big. - Hiscock tries to slip one past the goalie Man, gets me thinking. Hockey and a guy named Hiscock...There are so many things that just soudn wrong.

Come at me with a factual retort and some real data to back up your claim that my post was a bunch of crap....Please.

When? Perhaps once Democrats raise the Minimum wage 40 Percent, thus increasing the payroll of many small businesses by 40 percent. When? Perhaps after Democrats repeal the Bush tax cuts causing you and I (and small business owners) to pay more in taxes. And the combination of the two...deadly. Small Businesses lost yesterday.

I think the senate stays republican. Virginia - Allen Missouir - Talent Montana - Burns in a shocker Tennessee - Corker (Though I like Ford) I really dont see democrats taking ANY of the hotly contested seats. Rhode Island is in play as well. There is a recent Mason-Dixon poll showing Steele down by just 2 in Maryland. I think the republicans do as well as they realistically can tomorrow. I think NJ goes democratic. People are quick to talk about the FOX News Dynamic poll showing larger gains for democrats, but keep in mind, in 2004 the same poll showed Kerry up by 5 points in the last poll before the election. So, its hard to take these polls too seriously. My gut says 53-45-2, with Lieberman and Sanders caucusing with the Dems.

Worth a first round pick. We havent spend one on a quarterback for a couple years.

Woot! Losman for Pro Bowl! As bad as he has been this year, think about that. 1) Shows Buffalo Fans LOVE their team. 2) Shows JP Bills Fans support him, gives him confidence. 3) Shows how ridiculous fan balloting is. Vote LOSMAN

He did throw for 330 in 38 attempts.... It took Big Ben 54 attemps yesterday to squeak out 400+ yds.

What happens if Rutgers is undefeated? Do they play Ohio State?
