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.

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:

A web designer friend recommended this host:

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.

Judging from the title of this thread, I thought the article would be on movies about pirates -- as in the "Arrrg." kind.

It depends. If it's a good game that for some reason is blacked out, I'll go. Otherwise, it's the radio.
I went to the cards game because it was blacked out, though. But also because I was able to get good seats. I must admit, I love Bills football, but there are parts of the stadium experience that I don't enjoy. Such as drunks throwing stuff at you - like 1/2 full beer cans. Or watching people puke when walking down the stairs. Or listening to some foul-mouthed dick scream all day. So, for me, if I can't go with a large group of people with whom I feel comfortable, I need to be in the seats that are least likely to have the unpleasant things happen. Those also happen to be the most expensive seats, which also becomes a determination.
I think what I'll do next year, depending on the economy and my wallet, is get together with 3 or 4 buds and buy 2 or three season tix and alternate who gets to go.
How do you get your Bills fix? Do you listen to the game? Or do you drive over and pick up a last second ticket? I live in Pittsburgh and I took everybody's advise and bought Sunday ticket. But I have been to 5 games this year, including preseason. What I do is go down to Heinz field and tailgate at about 9am. Then rush home for kickoff for the BIlls game. It is the closest I can get to game day in Buffalo since my car Blew up. -
Peter King hasn't watched a football game all year, let alone a Bills game.

Todd...I cannot win...if I would have included late round picks you would have said that who expects anything from late round picks. When I don't include them you comment on how I tailor the data to exclude the gems of TD. You and I will never agree about TD. I still like your insight, and unlike you do not think you are a fool.
Don't misunderstand, I don't think you are a fool on a personal level. I think someone's ideas can be foolish, without that person being a fool.

Let's look at the 2004 Bills and see how well TD has drafted....(Only players in the 1st 3 rounds)
Travis Henry....Replaced with WM (who he drafted, and I gave him s**t for, but looks to be a good draft pick). Still he did draft TH and 3 yrs later he will be gone.
Denney and Kelsey both 2nd rounders who will not be around too much longer. Though both are improving.
Mike Williams...overpaid and will be replaced when his cap hit is lighter.
Josh Reed...Replaced with Lee Evans.
Coy Wire....Replaced with Milloy
Oh, so only players in the first three rounds, eh? Do lower draft choices not count, or doesn't it support your silly argument?
I'd say that three years of 1,000+ yards is good ROI for Henry. Why is this a bad draft pick? I think it's a damn good one. You're wrong there.
Mike Williams has been playing quite well this year. Do you actually *watch* football, or just read Jerry Sullivan columns?
Coy Wire - quite a good ST player.
Let's see - Josh Reed (a 2nd rounder) replaced with Lee Evans (who happens to be a Donahoe draft pick paying off in his rookie year). Not sure what you are trying to argue here, but you're looking quite foolish.
I don't know why you chose not to evaluate lower picks, but I consider those part of a draft. Let's look at a few, can we?
1. Jonas Jennings. Hmmm. He was a 3rd round pick. Why do you neglect to mention him? Hmmm? Maybe because it makes you look foolish?
2. Willis. Looking like a damn good pick, isn't he? Oh, sorry, I forgot that Donahoe stinks at drafting.
3. Aaron Schoebel. Hmmm. Do you have a problem with that pick?
4. Freddie Smith - 7th round. When a 7th round player does well, that tells you something, right? Like maybe Donahoe is good at drafting?
5. There's some guy named Terence McGee on the Bills team. I think he's run for a few TDs. Remind me how many, please. And you might want to check what round he was drafted in, and by who. (Hint: 4th, Donahoe)
6. Nate Clements. Please explain how he's a bad pick.
7. Ron Edwards. 3rd Round. Very good part of the Bills rotation.

Good God. It's well chronicled that the Pitt ownership had no interest in spending money on signing bonuses. Donahoe did damn well with the hand he'd been dealt. I wonder what would have happened if he didn't get Bettis. That was a horrible move, right?
Please, please, please show me how bad Donahoe is at drafting. I'd love to see you try and prove that one.

Mini overpaid for Winfield, but I still think he's one hell of a player.
-
Umm, okay. Who is better, newman or any of our current LBs. Hmmm. Irvin? You've got to be kidding me. Didn't someone pay him a ton of dollars to watch him turn to toast?
I'll give you washington. Love that guy. But Pat and Sam are good, as well.
Steven, you've backed yourself in a corner again. It's been a long time since you've started your whinefest over old, overvalued players. I thought you were over it. Facts don't support your overly-emotional evaluation of reality.
-
And who might those people be? Marcellus Wiley? Sam Cowart? Peerless Price?
I know you're still bitter at TD for getting rid of the overpriced players who you loved, but it's time to get over it. It's been YEARS, man. The axe has been ground to a nub, don't you think?
(OT) Has anyone upgraded to the new AMD chip?

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.
