[Evans hangs onto that pass in the endzone....]

....or if the ref  wasn't in his way on that scramble, he probably doesn't fumble. 

For the most part, his passes were on target.

If "ifs & buts" were soups & nuts....

[Stay Patient, Stay Rational, Stay the Course]

I said before the season that if we won more than 5 games, I'd be happy. I have to keep that in mind, but I'm always going to WANT to win 16+ games/season.

[When the Bills get you down...]

I have always been a Sabres fan, with the advent of NHL.com radio - I have been able to feed the addiction - I live in DC now and I chose to get Sunday ticket instead of NHL Center Ice - also, I can't committ to watching all the hockey games (which is why it is just easier to be a Bills fan) but it is cool to have the game on the internet radio when I am doing stuff around the house. If I paid for center ice, then I'd feel like I needed to get my money's worth.

 

It is awesome to listen to Rick & Jim 400 miles away from home!

[Travis Henry]

I thought he got a raw deal when they drafted McGahee, I'm glad he is doing well.

[No matter how bad this team is]

Nice! Squish the fish!

[It is called "rebuilding"]

People have a right to be unhappy after 7 years of sucking with no end in sight.  Knowing beforehand that we'd suck doesn't make it better.  That's like Bobby Knight telling women who get raped to sit back and enjoy since it's inevitable.

good point!

[Tarditious Extrapolation]

It's the difference between an instantaneous measurement or a measurement gathered with several points of data.

 

One is considerably more accurate than the other, but this is a message board full of fans who react like the mob.

 

The mob is fickle.

[JP and Rothlisberger]

Ironic, I should have started Bruce Gradkowski this week instead of Big Ben.

 

Bens fantasy points so far this year...... -14.75

 

I keep hoping he will snap out of it.

Yeah tell me about it.

[Boston WEEI today]

Clearly?  Great?

 

Both are up for debate, if you ask me.

802584[/snapback]

Yeah, if you watch his games, he's got it. Yes he has been inconsistent, but the consensus is that he will be good for a long time.

 

Who would you rather have Eli or JP?

[JP and Rothlisberger]

Okay, this season, yes JP has played better than Ben, but you could argue (going into the Bear game) that JP had outplayed Palmer, Hasselbeck, Delhomme etc.

 

Who would you rather build a team around?

[The bears game doesn't really mean much]

Wouldn't 8-8, considering the schedule, bring about false hope? If they beat the Lions , the record for the opponents they beat would be 4-11. The Teams that they lost to are 11-4.

 

We've all seen it before. A team goes 8-8 on a soft schedule then all offseason people are posting about the playoffs. Then they play a tough shedule? Hello 5-11.

 

But hey. If it helps some to get through the season. Whatever. The Bills need to beat a good team. It would be even better if they did so on the road. They have games against New England, Indy (road) , Jacksonville, San Diego and Baltimore (road). Those are the games I will measure the Bills with.

I couldn't have said it any better myself!

[Thank you Tony Kornheiser....]

Kornhieser is funny as hell. I live in DC and used to read his columns (he writes one, once in a blue moon nowadays) and the were sheer brilliance.

 

Tony & Joe have known eachother for over 20 years, I actually think that the chemistry is there, but it just hasn't manifested itself quite yet on the show because Tony is still getting used to doing the games.

 

It's still a helluva lot better than Dennis Miller.

[Schobel]

I agree with the overrated camp.

 

Ralph's $$$ would have been better spent on Pat Williams & Sam Adams.

[What are the personal top Places...]

I've always wanted to go to a Packer game in December at Lambeau - that it is a must for any diehard football fan.

[JP and Rothlisberger]

Ben won a Super Bowl and has played well through the vast majority of his limited career - JP has like 10 starts to his name.

 

No comparison yet.

[Boston WEEI today]

The national consensus on Losman is that he was drafted too high and that he should be farther along in his development. They compare him to Philip Rivers, Eli Manning and Ben Roethlisberger.

 

Rivers still has the book out on him, but he's looked very good so far.

 

Eli, though a bit inconsistent, clearly will be a great QB for many years.

 

All Ben did was win the superbowl.

 

So, that is what JP is being compared to. It's not difficult to see why they undervalue him in most of our opinions.

 

JP had played decently well up till the Bears game, but to get your panties up in a bunch because people don't think he is that good is a big thin skinned.

 

I for one hope that JP will pan out, I have seen many things to tell me he will. However, until he goes in and wins a game like last weekend, he's going to continue to be disrespected (and kind of rightly so).

[JP and Rothlisberger]

Just wondering how ESPN can rank Rothlisberger ahead of JP?  Granted none of them want to say that the crown they gave him was for nothing or based off of one season with Bettis.  But come on, the guy has thrown ZERO TD's and 7 interceptions.  He should be way, way, way towards the bottom.

Second thought...

 

Bills 21    Lions 10

New England  13    Bills 17

 

4-3 going into the bye-week.  That would be great!!!

Dude - you're kidding right?

[Picture of the Day]

that's awesome!

[Other DTs Besides Haloti Ngata]

Ngata is a special player, how many playmaker DTs are out there? Not many. I hope we take Ngata.
