  1. This is the year to finally call Kelsay a former Bill.
  2. He is a poster from another site who fancies himself as a sports journalist. He is wrong as often, if not more often than not about his "tips", insights, etc. Yet, just like baseball, if you keep on swinging, you're bound to get a few hits. It doesn't take much to see that somethings up with Lynch, his no show, etc. Clearly, he lost his starting job last year, and any athlete worth his salt wouldn't be happy about.
  3. You have to look at the individual games though. Trent played very well in the late third, fourth quarters of those wins. Yes, he "looked" as if he was turning the corner. As for the hit, he completed the pass, standing in there and releasing the ball just before the hit. On that play he looked like he had it all going, and unfortunately, that hit and few other lesser ones afterward led him to become a "deer in the headlights" QB. Can he regain his confidence? Who knows, but it does appear that he is lacking in toughness. I still can't help myself from disliking his throwing motion. Compared to the classic over head throwing motion of Kelly, Edwards kinda throws like what we used to call, "a girl".
  4. Sadly, just one of many of late.
  5. Not that's a real comeback. Heck, I liked Butler, but second coming, he wasn't, but to cite a 1-sack season last year? How ridiculous this "fabulous" stat is given the fact he went out for the year in only the second game of the season (against Tampa Bay). Jeez.......get real.
  6. While Butler seems to have gained stature since he was injured and then retired, he wasn't the second coming..... I would much prefer he was here, however, we may just find that Green will be every bit as good at RT as Butler "may" have been, at least for the coming year. Even Butler was playing, I just don't recall anyone saying how tough our O-line was. We all know it's been a problem area for years. Here's to hoping that this year we begin to see real improvement and that Wood make a successful return this year, even if he doesn't immediately start. In fact, I doubt he'll be ready for the opener, but he's young, so one never knows.
  7. Lets not get carried away as this being a top 5 game since 1993, yet it was a great win. Flutie was very effective in 98, and seeing old TT still being able to make plays, and the emerging youngster named Moulds, brings back memories of the days when we were last competitive. Flutie slipped a ton in 1999, but our D carried the team all year and Flutie managed to make just enough plays for the Bills to win more often than not. Pint sized ego maniac could play the game though.
  8. Inappropriate analogy. Not the same thing at all.
  9. I believe it's been reported that McNabb can veto a trade to Buffalo if he chooses.
  10. Without any doubt, I'd rather share a ride in a car with someone who just had a beer vs. someone who just smoked a joint. I call tell you this, I don't want any on the road who has just smoked a joint any more than I want a drunk. As for zero "weed-related" deaths....humm....tell that one to those that have died in drug wars and also, where did you garner your "facts", Tommy Chong?
  11. This brings to mind an age old question, what was Nixon thinking?
  12. It was the knee, and you didn't need to add any wild "other" speculative cause..... Sometimes things are just what they appear to be.
  13. ............and so be those regurgitated with disdain by the right. Except I can't be so gracious as I believe the right knows exactly what they are doing when they lie, and distort the truth. The amazing part is how easily so many are mislead. Democrats are spineless fools, and the GOP is pure evil. Now, more than ever is it time for a no party system of all independents to lead the country.
  14. RK Fast, shame on you. The same method used to pass this bill was the very same method George Bush used to pas his 1.6 trillion dollar gift to the rich. By the way, it was used 17 other times as well during his "rein". It never ceases to amaze me how the GOP cries foul when tactics they themselves used with impunity are used to get around their stone walling and refusal to help the everyday man/woman in this country. So I suppose you see nothing wrong at all with the fact that we have the most expensive health care in the world, by double that of Canada, and yet we lag behind in virtually all measurable and quantitative standards. That the health care industry is exacting a horrific toll on our economy in that it's voracious appetite for new money is taking money away from the pockets of the consumer who fuels the economy of the USA, one that is 70% consumer driven. Now that is sound business thinking there.... Oh I see, business knows best. Well, Enron, Lehman Bros, AIG, etc., etc., etc., must have all been the examples you chose to follow? A centrist movement is what we need, not extreme conservatism, or extreme liberalism for that matter. Marry an ideology, and parish by it. Finding common ground and building upon it, whoa....that sounds almost constructive...can't have any of that.
  15. Bill. might you care to revise the GOP rhetoric as to the "American people" and the percentages for and against the "Bill". The stated math just doesn't quite match reality. One current poll
  16. You Sir, and I use the respectful and salutary "Sir" extremely loosely in your case, are a nut job. Sure, we just eight years of the dumbest president in our history, and you wish to follow that up after a four year break with the one person on the planet old George may have been smarter than? You are the problem.
  17. KITNA ??? Are you insane or just trying to stoke a fire?
  18. That's all well and , well not so good. It is about really doing what is right. Deny the fact that health care in the USA is more than double (per person) than that of Canada, Japan, Germany, and Great Britain (as published recently by the AARP). Deny the fact that despite this massive cost already being borne by every citizen (in lower wages, etc., as no company pays this on top of your compensation as it is a part thereof), we have the highest infant mortality rate of these nations. Deny that we lead this group in preventable deaths (primarily because we have so many uninsured). Deny the fact that virtually every other country (top 20 economic powers) all have a nationalized health care plan (some are private but very tightly regulated and the pre-existing condition here exclusion is not allowed elsewhere). Economic drain? How about the spiraling costs (more than double in the last 7 years, again AARP). Where do you think this money comes from? The sky? It comes at the expense of the purchase of durable goods, services, etc. The drain on the economy is exactly why reform is needed. The voracious appetite of the Health Care industry for more funds is insatiable. Unless your are in the Health Care industry, you lose. If business is to rebound, it will require citizens to have the finances to purchase their goods and services. Remember that approximately 70% of our economy is consumer driven. To continue to deny that the current system is broken is beyond any logical intelligent thought. When do we finally admit we have a serious problem? When our cost become three times as much as the countries referred to above? Four times? Five Times? We have an employer based system and if it worked, fine, go with it, but business has failed in this area. In the mid eighties, HMO's became popular, and numerous providers became available. Costs seemed to be somewhat under control. Unfortunately, the many providers became fewer and fewer as Humana, and United Heath are (just to name two) began buying up smaller providers. Rates again then started to grow at rates far exceeding inflation. By 1992 it was clear to most where this would all be headed, yet, the money and power preserved and blew apart any chance of reform under Clinton. It's taken 17-18 years to get this debate back on the table, all while medical costs continued to sky rocket. Yet you see no problem? Nice of those who stand against this bill to fill themselves with self righteous indignation, but what is your plan? Do you even recognize there is a problem? Those against the bill suggest reform is needed, but not this, lets start over and do it right. That's what was said back when Clinton's attempt to reform Health Care failed. Does starting from scratch mean waiting almost another 20 years? By then Medical costs will have tripled again, or more. The bill passed tonight doesn't meets by beliefs either. It's not strong enough. Yet, the opportunity for another chance in getting things started could be far too late for me, and/or my children. Just as an aside, Nixon himself was working on a National Health Care plan that never made it to the House or Senate, but even he saw that something was going to be needed to be done. It's time for we Americans to come to grips with the fact that even though we may be a great nation, we are not always right. Health care is an area we have failed upon to date.
  19. Whew....hated to see him get away .....
  20. Hear, hear......stupid thread (LAMP)
  21. Just what the heck is a "man's" haircut, and WTF does this have to with absolutely anything? WTF is up with how anyone decides to wear their hair? Jeez.....some things just never change...sad, just simply sad.
  22. Copy that, and let's not forget that there's no way possible to rebuild this team in a year. If Green can give Buffalo one year, then so be it. It will buy some time. It's been said that Rome wasn't built overnight.... Jauron left this team in a bad way and like it or not, it will take two to three years to fix his train wreck.
