  1. The good news is that there will be less pressure on the offense when the defense can actually stop the other team's offense on a few possessions.
  2. I still think it was a bad call because it conveyed a lack of trust in the offense which demoralized both units. If Fred hadn't taken it upon himself to provide a spark, the Bills would have lost that game. Chan should have trotted out the wildcat instead of kicking; if they failed the Raiders would have lousy field position. This episode will probably go into Gregg Easterbrook's list of gutless calls. Fortunately, the Bills won despite it.
  3. I think that Roosevelt got the nod because he's performed in real games last season.
  4. If he is then I hope that he doesn't include Terrell's knees.
  5. There's a glut of undersized defensive linemen and linebackers coming out of college and the Browns wanted to take advantage of it?
  6. Do you know what the most important statistic is? The final score. Obviously, the Chiefs running game was not effective enough against the Bills 'D'; it failed to control the clock, it failed to set up the pass and it failed to put the Chiefs in scoring position.
  7. Mad? At who? He got paid millions of dollars for zero production. If anyone should be mad it's the Bills, Maybin is just laughing.
  8. Left tackle play is less important in the wildcat.
  9. No problem; transplant Aaron Maybin's leg onto Bowers.
  10. Kardashian doesn't even want him, why should we?
  11. Yes, after the league grants the Bills special dispensation to field 15 players on defense.
  12. Maybe the Bills should trade themselves completely out of the first round; they haven't been getting much value out of the first round for many years and most of their impact players were drafted in later rounds or not at all.
  13. Agreed. The Giants offense didn't beat the Pats in the Superbowl, the Giants defense did.
  14. Q: What's worth more, Shawne Merriman or a dollar bill? A: The buck; you can get four quarters out of a dollar bill.
  15. I'm warming up to using the first pick on a new QB; I could see during this game how better quarterbacking could have won it. Unfortunately, I don't think they'll get a great QB if they trade down during the first round.
  16. Always? Maybe you can tell me how Steve Forbes "earned" his wealth.
  17. Last 21 months? Did you forget about the 96 months prior to that during which our budget surplus was squandered and more of our nation's wealth was transferred into the hands of our wealthiest 5%? -- Paul Krugman (2008 Nobel Prize, Economics) 12/22/06 Don't be fooled into thinking that the millionaires and billionaires (including corporations which, thanks to our current Supreme Court, are legally treated as people more than ever before) who are financing the "conservative" propaganda campaign have your best interests at heart. The Democratic Party helped the Republican Party to create the mess we're in--all of their candidates take campaign money from wealthy donors just like the Republican candidates do--and that's probably why this crisis has been addressed with only half-measures; our "representatives" don't want to bite the hands that feed them. Even the millionaires and billionaires will suffer if our economy completely tanks so Washington has put it on a kind of life-support that perpetuates, if not accelerates, the long-standing wealth transfer instead of actually fixing the underlying problems. Where I live, a lot of people have lost their homes to foreclosure and when I try to buy one with a mortgage loan it gets sold to someone who can afford to make an all-cash offer instead. This has happened to me twice already and it will probably happen again. If HUD had repossessed those properties, families wishing to live in them would've been given the first crack but our government has placed no such restriction on the banks that our tax money has bailed out. The housing meltdown could have been a situation where homes were transferred from families who couldn't afford them to families who could but instead it has turned into a transfer of real estate wealth from the middle class to the rich. Middle-class families who rent have no home equity with which to finance training or education for their children so their children will either be strapped with school loans before their careers have even started or they'll have low-paying, unskilled jobs. The Tea Party has it all wrong; the next revolution in this country isn't going to look like the American Revolution, it's going to look like the French Revolution.
  18. Or if Fewell was kept on as head coach and Gailey hired as the OC. The big question is, if the Bills had stuck with the 4-3 this year would Schobel still have retired? I think Schobel's absence contributes to the defensive suckitude.
  19. You mean as opposed to the satisfactory pass rush that the Bills' 'D' exhibited during the first five games? I think you're right; that's why Kelsay isn't playing DE and Stroud isn't playing DT in this alignment.
  20. Or round 6 if the guy is the next Tom Brady.
