Skyfall turned to out to be true to all the positive ratings it has garnered. Excellent movie with superb acting all around. This is old school Bond from the early Connery days - light on gadgets and gimmicks, heavy on story and drama. I absolutely loved it. If you have to find a flaw, I would say it could be trimmed by 15 minutes as the 2:23 running time gets a tad (just a tad) too long. I would highly recommend it.

Show at 9.45 got sold out at 9.30. In line for the 10.30. Havent stood in line for a movie in ages. Will let you guys know what I think tomorrow.

I also vote for shutting this thread down. Hurting a player is never warranted especially when defenseless. We are not a bunch of thugs on this board or on the field. This is a game and a sport - that is all it is. Wishing harm on a player is classless to say the least. In real life also, occasionally I feel mad at someone but I wish that person would get the fruits of his/her bad acts - I don't wish for that person to get mugged and clobbered in a neighborhood alley. Showing we have balls is to sack him, intercept him and beat his team. Some of you guys are unbelievable. Lock this thread.

This may be the proverbial end of the line for McGee. I always liked him but was oft-injured. Don't the above moves leave two net open roster spots ? Or did I miss some other move ? Especially if Potter has been released for no medical reason.

Anytime. Plenty to choose from here these days.

Stay off TBD's inane topics and don't get stuck wrestling with pigs. I have cut down on my visits and posts there just because it is the same old recycled rants every week. If it mean's anything, I wish you won't leave.

For those asking for Gailey's head, let me pose a hypothetical question: Gailey as HC, Norv Turner as OC and Mangini/Kevin Greene as DC. Would you guys be upset at that ? Nix said obliquely that Gailey has another year but did not say in what capacity.

Agree. I think QOS is eminently skippable if Fez is strapped for time. Casino Royale is a must-see and not just for the fact that it rejuvenated the Bond franchise. Watching CR followed by Skyfall should have you drained of adrenaline for a month.

While I agree with giving him a pass, that does not mean we need to start him if he is underperforming. If Carrington produces more, he should start in place of Dareus. That does not mean Dareus is a bust but it will give him time to sort his personal life out and come back stronger as a player.

Wanny should make his LB corps(e) check it out. How to play with heart and smarts.

If I knew that, I would be Corporal Foresight

Going from memory and some of these were not mentioned by NoSaint Ralph and Kacoo's: Try the Atchafalya, if they give a choice of fish choose the redfish, blackened and then the crawfish etoufee on top.

Oh yes CTP !! Its been a while Just remembered Dave in Broward - don't know what happened to him

Agree with much of your sentiment. And I did forget Bob Lamb, Spiked Lemonade

I have been a long standing member of this board and was thinking about how the board has changed. One aspect is some fine posters we lost over the years for a variety of reasons. I could think of a few I miss and why: - Lori: For her football knowledge and perspective - ieatcrayonz: No one could troll like he could - The Dean: professorial in his demeanor and entertaining in attitude - Tim Graham: not that I always agreed with him, but having a media member is always valued. John Wawrow carries the torch - nevergiveup: His inside knowledge of the Bills organization were excellent. I think he still lurks but doesn't post. The days leading up to the past draft just weren't the same without him - (I am sure no one expects this) ICE: At the time I hated his attitude, but looking at the board now with the little ICE-wannabes spewing their hate and ignorance makes him look mild by comparison So, who do you guys miss ?

HFBD, mead. Take some time off and enjoy what life has to offer.

Exactly what I was thinking. This year, more than most, I miss the likes of Spielman, Paup. Heck, even Takeo Spikes.

He is being paid $100 MM. He shouldn't need anyone to talk to him and motivate him. I am hoping the wrist injury was a primary reason for his under-whelming performance so far. He is paid to be mentioned in the same breath as Clay Matthews, JPP, Peppers. And those saying the entire D sucks - he is paid to do well at his position. As an example, Kyle Williams does not need this excuse as he still makes plays.

Background- Tarvaris Jackson is not yet activated. If we trade for Tebow now, no way Gailey feels comfortable with him as a QB for 4-6 weeks. Tebow will add little to this season. Why give up a draft pick for such minimal gain ? If we get him to be a gimmicky player and not a QB, we already have Brad Smith. I don't see what Tebow will add over his skills beyond a very competitive streak. Secondly, if we trade for him now hoping to use him next season, it is even more silly. First of all, we don't know if this current coaching staff will be around next year. The next staff is quite likely to be averse to Tebow. Looking at it another way, this may be a deterent to coaches coming to Buffalo if they feel they will have to walk into a circus. As it is, we have a tough time getting premium coaching talent. This will make matters worse. Thirdly, this will be about as blatant a marketing move as Donahoe ever did. Lame lame attempt to boost ticket sales when the basic driver of sales -winning-is absent. Finally, much as we have grown weary of Fitz, the biggest problem right now is the D. Till we find a solution to that problem(s), we will not win. ANd I am not even going to discuss the lack of QB'ing skills that others have already pointed out in this thread Bottom line - I realize that much of this is speculation but come on guys ! Tebow will not help us in the win column.

Yes, not absolving the D at all in yesterday's loss. As an example, that long TD run that Chris Johnson ripped off was inexcusable.

Read the board and people are talking more about the putrid D than yesterday's costly mistake by Fitz. But, what I said is that this does not excuse Fitz. Ofcourse turnovers matter. But when they occur matters even more. If he had thrown it mcuh earlier in the game, it would have allowed the O to make up for it. Gailey to call plays accordingly. But that game killing mistake happened at a horrible time. Fitz did this last year in the Giants game. He was mediocre even in the Cardingals game and it was only Byrd that saved our bacon. I am talking only about Fitz because that is the topic of this thread. I have discussed the D in Bill in NYC's thread.
