Donahoe has been "amazing"??
I don't mean to piss on anyone's Corn Flakes, but are you kidding me? 8-8, 6-10, and 7-6 in the last 2.75 years? Weren't their SB aspirations around there the last 2 years?
You're riding a nice streak, but start beating good teams before going overboard. This week, if the Bills get blown out, will you still feel that PrimaDonahoe has done an amazing job?
Did you read my post, or are you just being an idiot?

Put it this way - if people are talking about it on a football message board, it's way past it's prime buying time. By the time knowledge of a good stock gets here, it's been overbought by everyone and it's too late to get involved.

No - you can't forget cap number. Absolutely not. That's an essential part of the equation when evaluating a player.
So - NOT forgetting the cap number the choice is obvious, and it sure as hell isn't Wiley.
I find it interesting that the "What have you done for me lately" method of evaluation is applicable unless it comes to evaluating Buffalo's recent success.
I'm sorry to tell you this Steven, but building a team is a PROCESS. I doesn't - and shouldn't - happen over night.
First step was fixing the salary cap mess that was left. This was an imperative, as much as you deny it. Done with great success.
Second, bring in good players through the draft and via FA. This step could not happen in paralell with step one, because without cap $$ you can't get FAs, and any moron knows that most draft picks take a couple years to contribute.
Third, maintain a strong team utilizing the benefits of talent-based drafting and astute FA moves.
It is easy to see that the first two steps could take two years at the least just to start. If you don't understand that, you & I will never agree. I know you like to compare to John Fox & Marvin Lewis, but you can't. Those teams were completely different due to salary cap situation.
We are now in phase 3, thankfully. And we are finally starting to see the first two phases pay off. We can now draft the most talented player without being pressured by need (McGahee). We can afford veteran leaders that bring experience to a team (Vincent, Milloy, Adams, Moulds, etc.)
Donahoe has done an amazing job as GM. Not just good, but amazing.

Donahoe sucks! He should never have gotten rid of them!

This is how we used to have fun in Williamsville in the 70s. It's so nice to see children playing together like that today. >>>

Ugh. That's crazy. I've seen roman candles explode before.

But if disk i/o is a bottleneck, it still doesn't matter. I see your point, though.
-
A guy here at work built a machine with one. I just don't see the bang for the buck yet. Applications aren't yet taking advantage of this.
For my latest system I saved myself a few bucks and got an Athlon XP 3200 on an asus 87N8x-e deluxe mobo.
Since the bottleneck is always the HD at this point, I got two of the 10,000 RPM WD sata drives and I'm setting them up in raid 0. I figure this will do more for me than any processor upgrade would. I/O at the HDD is always a key point in a system. There's a reason servers all have SCSI drives.

Look at teams such as Carolina and Cincy....both had good to great years last season, both are marginal this season. I think Mularkey is doing a great job, and I believe TD hit this one correctly. Though I am leary that this team can sustain the momentum over the off season, and furthermore, I think TD will have some tough decisions this off season. If I was Ralph (and maybe he knows more about football than I, but I considre myself pretty astute), I would wait till 4 games into next season before extending TD contract.
Tough decisions? Like what? We aren't in cap jail any more, so there are no cuts we need to make just to remain solvent. It sure is nice to say that, isn't it?

I think the Bills are finally playing well, but Ralph is getting senile to say that TD has this job as long as he wants it. Let's say the Bills finish 9-7, a great comeback from 1-5, but still no playoffs. I think I would want to see how he does next season, make sure that the Bills are competitive from the start of the season. Another 1-5 start would doom him in my eyes. He has to prove consistency.
Steven - your loathing for Donahoe has clouded your judgement. And I'd say Ralph is not senile, and knows quite a bit more about football than you do.
Consistency? Any time a 1st year coach finishes above .500 is a pretty good feat. It looks like we'll do that this year. It's time you give credit where credit is due.

Donahoe has drafted DAMN well. No friggin GM hits on every single player. It just doesn't happen. Sure, you want everyone to pan out, but it's impossible. Not only that, if you hit on every draft, your newer players are forcing out older ones that you drafted so statistically it's impossible to judge a draft only by how many players remain on your roster.
I think TD is one of the best on draft day in the NFL. I submit to you:
1. Evans - contributes right off.
2. McGee - great pickup. Gonna go to the pro-Bowl.
3. Henry - we got a few years of great production which is wonderful for a 2nd round RB. Additionally, we'll most likely get that pick back because ...
4. McGahee - how can you not like this pick?
5. Clements - great player.
6. Wire - ST demon. Worth his draft position.
7. Jennings.
8. Schobel.
I'm sorry dude, but Donahoe has done a great job drafting. That's a fact.

interesting... since I havn't been able to rent a movie from Blockbuster in 19 months due to an ugly little incident, maybe somone else could use this:

I won't ever rent from Blockbuster. They censor movies.

People get killed every day. There are sick bastards doing this every day. What the hell is the american media mongoloid fascination with this idiot. Thank God this is over.

I have a site in the works and need a reliable cheap host. The site is mostly informational, but I hope to process CC transactions in the future. It does need to support document (mostly pdf) and some video downloads.
I registered my domains at godaddy and was looking at their medium plan:

I would appreciate any input from those with experience or expertise. Thank you.
I use oneworldhosting.com and readyhosting.com. I've also used pair.com. I'd stay away from readyhosting.com, but I like pair.com and oneworldhosting.com.

No, not at all. Williams went down after first contact every time. Henry breaks tackles. Not like McGahee, but he still breaks tackles. Williams just doesn't have the weight to do so.
-
1) 2nd round (picked up in trade for Henry)- Erasmus James DE Wisconsin
2) 2nd round (32nd
)- CJ Brooks OG Maryland3) 3rd round - Mike Nugent K Ohio State (yes I think he is worth a 3rd rounder)
3) 4th round - Maurice Clarett (Henry is gone, I think his negative hype is unfounded)
4) 5th round - Diamond Ferri S Syracuse you gotta love the big game against BC!
5) 6th round - Chauncey Stovall WR Florida State- I love the tough YAC this guy gets
6) 7th round - Jason White QB Oklahoma, hey he just might fall this far, Can our retread Mathews and sign another young guy as our 3rd
Dude- you really need to enjoy the present. I'm sorry that Drew's success and winning streak have upset you, but enjoy it.

turtle-neck, with no jacket!
At the Arizona game, I sat in the first row behind him. He wore a short-sleeved shirt....again, no coat. Remember the nasty weather?
I know little to nothing about his coaching abilities, but this man sets an example. This man is as tough a human being as I have ever seen in football. Imo, he is playing a major role in making the Buffalo Bills football team a group of tough guys. He is also becoming something of a cult hero, at least from where I sit.
GO TK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!GO BILLS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
We must have been sitting next to you without even knowing it.

It is funny, and to tell you the truth it's all true. There wasn't a thing in his article that isn't true, insults and all. We can accept it, own it, and love it or whine about it.
I'll take the big hair of the girl next to me over the obnoxious tard next to me in New Jersey (Jets), or the half-interested yuppie goof in Carolina.

STFU and your (sic) a moron

I thought the defense would always be good, but yesterday was the first time I'd consider them elite. They pretty much won the game for the Bills. It sure is nice to have something to be proud of like that, even if the national media is a clueless bunch of major market sycophants.

I know that there are a lot of you who are huge movie fans, like myself, so I was wondering if anyone else was a big fan of this guy. I was running through the cable listings tonight and noticed that one of my favorite movies of all time - Love Liza - was on a bit later. It's a very difficult movie to watch, but wow.....what an amazingly penetrating and 'real' performance this guy gave. I usually get a kick out of his supporting and cameo gigs, but this is totally different. But aside from this one, the guy was just great in films like Cold Mountain, Patch Adams, Boogie Nights, etc. He's a very versatile, smart actor.
I think he's great, as well. He was very good in Almost Famous. Haven't seen love liza, but will try.
Nice Rochester connection, as well.

You know nothing about the Bills. Really, you don't. In the salary cap era you CAN build a contender quickly. That's only if you have the cap space to do it. I'm not sure you remember what Buffalo's cap was like 3 years ago, but it was ugly. Did you know that Buffalo could hardly pay 52 players with the space they had? I'm sorry, Mr. Belecheck fellater, but nobody can build a team in that situation. It just isn't possible.
So take your patsy bias and your obvious ignorance about facts and go somewhere where you can speak intelligently about a football team, because you certainly can't about Buffalo.
