Not just 2 games at home. 2 very winnable games at home. It wasn't like KH was put in against NE and Denver or Carolina. He was put in against Miami and NJ.

I would prefer they wait until after NE to send JP back in. Give him the bye week and an opponent that he'll have a better chance against. Granted, it was not a fair evaluation for JP last time out in NE, as he thought he was the #3 quarterback last year; but I don't want to see him get beat badly and have that stadium turn into a house of horrors for him. Let Kelly see if he can pull a rabbit out of his butt, and if not, go w/ JP against KC.

I don't want to throw Losman back into the fire against NE, not on a Sunday night coming off a bye with everyone pumped up because Bruschi's back. Let Kelly try to work some sort of a miracle, and if he doesn't, let JP start against KC at home.

Stop sugar coating it. It wasn't that good.

Is it over yet? I can't bear to watch after the 3rd and ~14 run up the middle for ~20.

Can Clements go with him? I don't understand how the Bills cannot make a single working adjustment at halftime in any game on either side of the ball.

Should probably sue McDonald's as well, as you know the crackhead shooter would eventually eat a meal there.

I would still allow the division winners into the playoffs, but I would prefer though to have a sort of penalty system for division winners that aren't over .500. I would not allow a team without a winning record to host a playoff game, unless their opponent were also .500 or worse.

Don't know how many Bills fans (if any) will be there, but Ivar's in B.R. is a good sports bar. Is your friend going to be in B.R. or L.C.? The 2 are about 2 hours apart.

Sarcasm level was very high. I do think WNY is a good place to live. Taxes are too high and political leadership is nonexistant, but other than that; I like it. To each his own.

Yeah, but we all know WNY is a horrible place to live, so the survey must be fatally flawed.

IF they lied under oath, they should be in jail. Just like the former felon in chief should have been. It's called perjury and should be taken seriously by anyone in the executive branch of the government. If they did not lie under oath, it does not appear to me, based upon what I have been able to read on the subject, that they broke any laws. I'm certain that Mr. Fitzgerald's investigation will close soon. Once it does, we will find out what appears to have really happened.

Speaking of Thomas, any word on how his rehab is going? If he were to be able to return close to his old form, it would take SOME of the pressure off on resigning Nate. Also, I agree that it is great news, if in fact it's true, that the Bills are close to extending McGee's deal.

I'm sure there are some that bypass it, but I wouldn't base the list off of the concert t's; a lot of bands put portions of their tours on the shirts. If you are seeing the bands outside of the northeast, you very likely won't see Buffalo listed on the backs of the shirts.

Except for the fact that the beaches are warmer and probably have better scenery than those in Buffalo, I don't think that Miami wins hands down. Miami seems to get credit for good weather, but for about 6 months out of the year, it is way too hot (IMHO) to be outside unless you are at the beach. I am sure that I am in the minority nationally, but I much prefer WNY's weather to that of SFla. I'm sure there are alot of things to do in Miami, but there are a lot of things to do in WNY as well. There are sports leagues you can join year round; there's good museums; there's Letchworth and the Falls; there's skiing in the winter; you can go sailing; can't forget the Bills; lots of good music comes to the area; there's pretty much a festival going on every weekend somewhere during the summer. I've never fully understood the "there's nothing to do in Buffalo" gripe or the "Buffalo is very boring" gripe that I hear a lot.

Ding, ding, ding. We have a winner!!!!! (Or since you aren't in Congress either, a loser like the rest of us.)

Jesus saves ... Gretzky gets the rebound, he shoots, he scores!

I disagree. If Tim doesn't have the accident, he ends up in Sabres lore with Roger Crozier. A truly fantastic player that finished his career with the Sabres. Horton absolutely was a mentor to players like Schoenfeld and Robitaille. You don't end up having your sweater retired because you were a mentor. With what he meant to the team and considering the way he left the team, he deserves to have his sweater retired and it is up in the rafters.

OK, I'll bite. How is the marginal tax rate on the top 25% of earners 0%?

I do not agree with either of these statements. A great number of scientists believe in God; in Christian leaning nations this tends to be the Christian God. And actually, evolution states that man and apes evolved from common ancestors, not that man evolved directly from apes. Based on the overwhelming complexity inherent in our world and the substructures therein, I have an extremely difficult time imagining that God did not have a hand in our getting here (and keeping us here).

How do you figure they'll have only retired 5 numbers? After 16 and 18 go up, there'll be 6 numbers in the rafters and #39 will go up sometime in the next few years.

It doesn't seem to be based on home / away for which broadcast is shown on CI. On Friday, the TO/Atlanta game was in TO and used Atlanta's feed. The Pens/Flyers was in Philly and used Pittsburgh feed. Vancouver/Minny was in Minny and used the Canucks feed.

I think the team can still win the division, but I don't expect them to. If they beat the Jest on Sunday; they'll be 3-3. With all the Patriots injuries and coaching losses and injuries / team quality on the other 2 teams; 9-7 can win the division. The Bills COULD sweep miami and the Jest and split with the Pats. That gets them to 6 wins and most likely any tie breakers. If they can beat Oakland and either KC or Denver at home (a split is possible, either team would kill the Bills if Buffalo had to travel) then they need to scrape out one more win. Didn't Carolina lose at miami. If so, why can't they lose in Buffalo as well? Maybe Cincy will be locked into a wild card when the Bills go there. My gut feel at this point is 7-9 assuming they win this week, but I haven't totally ruled the playoffs out (wild card yes, playoffs no).

I don't think the NFL teams are picking up the tabs at most stadiums. In Cincy they don't do the searches because the City/County was paying for the stadium workers and they refused to pay people to conduct the searches. I know in Buffalo, the County picks up the maintenance costs of the Ralph; I always assumed the security was included in that cost.
