Offside Number 76

I've noticed that too, since the season started. It's unfortunate; when he was on WNSA he was great, and he still was at least good when he started with WGR. Now, it seems like Bulldog is calming Schopp down, instead of the other way 'round. Too bad. Schopp had some insight and talent.

He's a broadcaster. He's supposed to be pulling for the 17-point comeback on the road--on his network. If the Bills were down in Miami, coming back the same way, he'd be talking about what the Bills needed to do to win.

Against the run, I think Anderson was an upgrade.

And now it's five minutes of an 11pm "SportsCenter" cast with the rest of the time devoted to entertainment news and product promotion.

There's a place called Lincoln Station that's always filled with Bills fans on Sundays.

Half of the NFL has tried him; even his college coach (Spurrier) eventually said "no" in DC. It is a "rebuilding year," to borrow from every Sabres coach in history, and we've gotta deal. Go to, or watch, the games or not, but the only move is to develop the kid. He will not turn into Manning or Brady. Maybe he turns into Carson Palmer; maybe he turns into Ryan Leaf. But there's only one way to find out, and that way does not involve Holcomb or Matthews in the gameplan.
