Also note that Social security goes belly up in 2030. So 10 years is adequate time to get rid of most of the US population.

Most of the answers in this thread are proof of why such fairly significant scientific stories don't make front page news

We had just one pick in the 2010 draft ?

Given their stellar defense, I wonder how a more competent QB may perform. The divine comebacks meant that the Broncos were in a deep hole which may have been shallower if Tebow was a better QB. Sure others have used harsher words. But my question is why a teammate and one who plays the same position chose to say these negative things. A good team mate would privately express his frustrations and unhappiness to the coach and management.

Quinn has now gone public with his rather negative opinion of Tebow. He credits the defense and luck more than Tebow's quarterbacking skills. I tend to agree with what he states but wonder what motivation Quinn had to go public with his displeasure. Is this a back door way of being kicked out from Denver so he can get a chance to start elsewhere ?

Over the past few years, the number of quality free agents hitting the open market has diminished quite a bit. Not saying there are no good players to be had but there isnt a luxury of riches. And about Clabo (cos someone just mentioned him), we made a pretty decent offer and it appears that he was just using the Bills for leverage in his negotiations so technically money was not the deciding factor for him.

If you are into the original Sherlock Holmes (and not that Robert Downey abomination), check out the Brit series called Sherlock which re-imagines SH in modern day London. They have retained the essence of the character while giving him the luxury of modern technology. Series one had 3 episodes and they are a doozy. Series 2 is airing across the pond now and should be on Netflix in a couple of months.

If he does, I am sure it will be because nobody wanted him and as usual the Bills overpay for players who no one else wants to sign.

First of all thanks to a thoroughly entertaining thread. I was watching a bit from the sidelines and seeing you and PDaddy go at each other with great delight. Anyway, more seriously, IMHO the failure of the offense is neither of the extremes you two are fighting about. My opinion: - Fitz is no more than a caretaker, a short gap solution till we get a QB worthy of winning us the big one. So, yes, I dont think Fitz is good enough to win it all but I don't think he is an incompetent moron either (none of you said that) - I think the edges of our OL are weak. Hairston may be a solution but probably at the RT spot and not LT where some athleticism is required. Bell played well in his limited time and that is his basic problem - his inability to finish 16 games has played out far too frequently and we need a replacement. Bell can be good depth - We badly need receiving threats. Fitz's performance tanked when most of our already limited WR corps went down. Even when he had some time to throw, there were few options. And the lack of deep passes is a function of both Fitz's inaccuracy (which ggoes down the farther he has to throw) and lack of somebody who can get downfield in the 3-4 seconds that Fitz had to throw). Should sign Stevie and give him a solid #2. I do like David Nelson but only as a #3 or to convert 3rd downs. So we need 2 WRs - one as a #2 and one as a #4. I don't like Donald Jones. As to the other side of the ball, the switch to the 4-3 is good. We need: - at least 1 LB. - Pass rushing DE - One CB probably two as I don't think McGee will come back and McKelvin will be here no more than the length of his contract In short, I think Fitz is good enough to be a middle of the pack QB. He needs things to be above average around him and he cannot seriously transcend the skill set around him. But, he is good enough to support a rebuilding team. We should acquire a potentially great QB, whenever he is available.

Who ?

Just got a text message that Routt is visiting the Bills today. The almighty linky

Nice

He had so little time and downfield view at that moment that instinctively he threw it away risking a safety than have it be a pick-6. Seems to me that this was not the talented teams of yore that BB is used to coaching in Superbowls. Hence, he resorted to some gambles which did not quite work out. This was one of them. the other was easing up on the defense to let the Giants score on their last drive so as to allow almost a minute for Brady to score.

Should I complain that this is yet another non-Bills related topic on a Bills message board ?

Agree with all till #3. Most likely his contract will be extended by the Bills. I will add that even if the Bills don't, he will play at most one year under this contract after which he will be free to choose another team for a higher pay day. Worst case, the Bills trade him to another team that re-ups him starting in the 2012 season. Either way, FJax will not be 'screwed'. I, for one, hope he gets a new 3 year deal with the Bills.

BB should make an example of him and trade him to the Bills for a fifth. That will teach him ! Never again will he party after a superbowl.

As a pure QB, Peyton is better. Indy rode his QB skills to much success with a weaker supporting cast than Eli has. That is the reason why PM has only one ring and why Bill Polian was kicked out. That is also why it is called a team sport. Eli is also an elite QB and may be judged as an all-time great by the time his career is over, but IMHO the answer to your question is PM>EM

I disagree. If they were the subject of adulation when the Pats* were winning, then they will be the target when the tide turns. Such the price of fame. Being a celebrity is as much dedication to their craft as it is image management. An athlete can choose to concentrate on their game and not be a celebrity but once that line has been crossed - as in the case of the magazine spreads that Tommy boy did or the numerous ads that Peyton Manning did, then they are fair game. They will see the good and bad side of being in the public spotlight. Hence, while it is nice and noble to defend her husband, I am not sure TB particularly appreciates it in retrospect considering what it does to his (and their) standing in the public's eye. Coming hard on the heels of a tough loss, this incident can really hurt TB.

Well said. I fail to see the humor that others in this thread are finding in this incident. As a father, I am in constant fear that my children may make bad choices despite my parenting. Also, Mularkey was classy and never did anything to earn the spite of Bills fans (besides not being a good HC). As you said, hope the kid takes this as a lesson and pulls it together

Perhaps bringing PM indicates a new focus on the TE position. yes, gailey had a TE coach before but bringing a guy with old ties to the organization and one who worked with a good offense before (Indy) may indicate that Gailey sees the advantage of having a TE exploit the middle and soft parts of opposing Defenses. I see them drafting/acquiring speedy WRs to man the post routes and deep areas of the field while allowing the TEs to roam the middle. Attack from the back with FJax/Spiller, the deep and sideline with SJohnson+FA/draft, middle with Spiller/Chandler (?)/another TE. Now if only Fitz could consistently complete those sideline and deep routes, we would be golden.

So she writes this email which gets covered by media and posted here on TBD. She now has more effect than she could achieve with a chain email. Very smart.

I hear there is some un-used Michael Jackson whitening cream which we can all contribute and donate to Stevie and FredJ

Not quite very far fetched. There is no such thing as a 'reach' to get a guy you really want. Ask Billy Cundiff if a good snap could not have helped him make the FG in last weekends game. That is the difference between waltzing at the big dance and sitting in your dark basement eating stale pizza with your friends. See my comments above. I still hope Trent Richardson falls to us, else LS is good enough for me
