It works. I just got the $20 per month credit. No problem.

Fair enough. Just one more guess about the draft based on some different criteria. Somnething to speculate on during a dull off-season. Best regards,

No hang-up here (and thanks for the insight about the role of descrptive statistics in inferential analyses). As a fellow Bills fan, I appreciate your efforts to predict the results of the draft (just like the others that appear here) even though, if we are really honest about it, there are far too many known and unknown variables to insert into your statistical analysis, given your sample size. It is an interesting approach to what is, essentially, a crap-shoot. My objection to your post had far less to do with your mis-categorization of standard deviation (or z - scores for that matter) than to its condescending nature. It is what, in 30+ years of teaching this content, I have railed against, i.e., trying to impress others with our knowedge(?) of statistical analyses, and why it is superior to anyone else's "best guess." It remains an imprecise art, at best. Does this constitute an intelligent response by your definition?

I am not impressed. Perhaps, if you didn't describe standard deviation as an inferential statistic, your predictions might have more credibility. Better forget the Bills for a while and concentrate on your studies, my friend!

Have to agree. Let's let our three "quarterbacks with potential" fight it out in training camp next year while we build a better, or at least a more experienced, offensive line. One may just be the answer (though I doubt it will be Fitz). Top draft picks would be better spent on linemen and linebackers.

A very rational post which, admittedly, is hard to do about now. I was especially impressed with the middle of the offensive line. Hangartner is not Fowler/Preston and the rookies appear to be give us some run blocking, finally. We will get better. And, you can't blame Dick for this one. We were not outcoached this time, for once. Take away one bone-headed decision by McKelvin and we would be 1-0.

Lori, He got you this time! Read the D&C article and then read his comments again.

Why don't we check with Jason Peters?!

Have to agree - a bit much. He can learn from Lee Evans - classy.

And why he switched rooms.

No rumors, please.

I have family there and get to Blacksburg about one weekend a month. I'll be looking for fellow Bills fans. A sports bar in Radford? Where?

I'll settle for a no-name, no pro-bowler team that just wins. If we must have one, how about Lindell? He's been "money" so far when we needed him.

I'm with you. There are three possibilities: 1. The bills recover a fumble (initial ruling) and take a knee. End of game. 2. It was a forward lateral. 10 seconds off clock and end of game (the final ruling). 3. It is not a forward lateral. Jaguars are tackled in the field of play with no time outs. Unless the officials call time (for a turnover), time runs out before they can run another play. Why should an official's mistake (see #1) reversed in a re-play have given them time for another play? However you cut it, game should be over.

Probably not, unless your uncle had his own secret anatomy. But, what if Eleanor Roosevelt could fly?

Here's a question for Bills fans -- would you rather the front office do the fair, right thing (re-sign Evans first) or the thing that might be more valuable to the team long-term (extending Peters to make him happy)? Who could more easily be replaced?

Count me in. I'd much prefer to beat a healthy Tom Brady who, like it or not. is one Hell of a quarterback! I don't wish him any harm.

I'll second that. What more can a punter do?!

What about (the forgotten man) Mario Haggan - available in Week 4, as I recall?

Here's a quote from the description of the third day: "Defensive work again had linebackers working on aligning themselves properly before the snap and reacting to pre-snap ***** and motion. Defensive backs worked on their ball skills and defensive linemen continued their work on getting off the ball. They also worked on stripping the ball from a receiver after the catch."

Thank you for one of the few intelligent posts on this serious topic. I hope your children live long, healthy lives.

I'm almost certain that Wade Wilson, NFL QB for 17 years is Type I diabetic. It didn't seem to slow him down. He even made the pro bowl once.

Great! Thanks for a needed laugh!

Just one more self-centered NFL player with an inflated opinion of himself. No big deal. We live in an age of entitlement.

Man am I old! (thanks for the memories.) You are a very old Bills fan if: 1. You have any idea who Birtho Arnold was and how much he weighed. 2. You were concerned about how there could possibly be a need for both Tommy O'Connell and Richie Lucas at the QB position. (But Al Dorow was a good idea.) 3. You thought that no linebacker trio could be any better better than Jacobs, Tracey, and Stratton.
