Worse than Bledsoe-he may turn out to be Namath in LA or Unitas in SD

Please stop drinking the same stuff they serve at WGR. The Dolphins game was played in bad weather last year, Trent played great. The Browns & Giant games were once in a generation storms. It was still raining when Trent got the rust off against the Seahawks. Trent has put on extra muscle weight since last year.

Ok, I'll play devil's advocate. I can't say for sure Fairchild sucked. I can say that Fairchild never had a QB he trusted. 1st JP, then a rookie-he felt he had to play conservative to protect both. We'll never know, but if Fairchild had the 2008 version of Edwards, he may have opened things up as much as Turk has done.

Actually, the present front office is 2-0. Marv left after two 7-9 seasons that were rebuilding years. Just like most great architects, Marv then left and let the inhabitants enjoy his finished product. Brandon & staff put the finishing touches on Marv's work with Stroud, Sp Johnson & Mitchell. Great teams can usually look at a draft or two that brought the team to greatness. The 2006 & 2007 drafts with Marv's input may go down among the best in Bills' history. In 2006 they got 4 current starters on day 2. In 2007 they got 3 potenial Pro Bowlers on day 1.

If so, I'm sorry to the TV guys. I didn't think they caught it, but then it's tough to listen to 2 things at once. The radio guys were a few seconds ahead of the digital cable feed, so I knew about the tip before the TV guys could say anything & I must have missed their explanation. Once again, sorry Steve.

I don't know-they barely beat the Chiefs & then beat a team that barely beat the Dolphins. Don't count the Patriots in yet. The Jets run D was flat out bad today & Favre was no great shakes either. Earlier this week Fred Smerlas called the Jets frauds. He was right and that still doesn't mean the Pats are any good. Will they win next week? Sure, how can they lose to the dreadful Dolphins (boy saying that feels so good). Cassel looked very shaky in the middle of the game before the Pats runners took over. Lets see how he does against SD, Den, Ind, THE BILLS, Pittsburgh, Seattle (when they should have their players back) & even Arizona. I see 7-8 losses there. Just remember-we get the Browns & Jacksonville, who we already beat; the Patriots get Pittsburgh & Indy in their place. The Division is ours!

I had the radio on with the TV & was listening to both. On one play Murph & Kelso were right on when the TV announcers (Tasker & the other guy) were oblivious, even though the tv camera showed why: This was on the play Greer got the flag that they then announced was no penalty. TV viewers never got the explanation even though the cameraman showed Mitchell signaling that the pass was tipped. Instead while they could have been explaining why, they showed Del Rio disagreeing with the ref with no correct explanation for the viewers. Murph & Kelso called it right away, tipped pass, no pass interference.

I never thought Youboty would make the team, I even joked about a positive drug test for estrogen. I was wrong, Youboty is a major cog on this team.

Playoffs??? Screw that, I'm talking Super Bowl!

He'll be signed to a new contract before next year's camp, probably before the draft. The Bills have been good at paying productive players who exceed their rookie contract. We're talking a franchise QB here-they always paid Kelly, they'll always pay Trent.

We never had a return game like this during the Super Bowl years. We had great coverage units with Tasker & Pike, but nobody to be a threat every time he touched the ball like Parrish, McGee or McKelvin. In 1990 we had Al Edwards & Chris Hale returning punts, Don Smith & Edwards for kicks In 1991 it was Edwards for both and Cliff Hicks taking over for Edwards after he had a disasterous punt return game. In 1992 It was Hicks & Hale on punts, Kenneth Davis & Edwards on returns In 1993 it was Russell Copeland on punts and kicks with Beebe & Davis occasionally returning kicks. If we had a kick return game like the current Bills, we might have won 2 of those Super Bowls.

It was actually McGahee, Spikes & Holcomb for Edwards, Stroud & Steve Johnson (+ the departed C.J. Ah You)

If Tyler Who Thigpen is their top QB option, yes. When Huard comes back the Bengals, Dolphins, Rams & 49ers bill be battling them for the top, or bottom, spot.

Go to the Zone & look up the post that will give you the access codes before the game starts. He doesn't want it posted on other sites.

Because he's the best O-lineman on the team & the guy who played in his place doesn't feel comfortable playing that position.

It's just you. They said on the pregame show that Walker was uncomfortable playing left tackle & is very happy to be back at RT. You don't punish the team when one of the best players comes back from a holdout. If you're old enough, think back to the OJ & Cribbs& Thurman holdouts. The Bills put them back in when the holdouts ended.

Either in college or the pros, Gill has a heck of a coaching future. After Jauron retires with 2 or 3 Super Bowl rings, could Gill end up coming back to Buffalo (because he'll be gone pretty soon-enjoy it while you can UB) as coach of the Bills?

A smart person would have said straight out "How do you define what you're calling the Bush Doctrine, there are several interpretations." However Sarah Palin is not a smart person, in fact, she came across as someone who does not have the intellectual prowess to handle a national office. It's not media elitism that prevents Sarah Palin from intelligently answering questions-she's just not very bright.

The Bills are hotter than the temperature on the field.

Who was the defensive genius on the sidelines for that Washington game?

The ones responsible for the billboard need to learn how to spell the name Brett.

Losman's career is virtually Rob Johnson revisited. I guess it will take JP getting waived by his next team to convince you. That's ok, from the data you do have a 5-10% chance of being right. My thinking is more along the lines that it wasn't the management that failed JP. It's more JP was failing the management and they were always looking to find a better replacement. 1) JP's 2nd season-I was with you all at the time. I hated Mularkey for putting his job security over the team and felt that to put in Holcomb, to win 1 or 2 more meaningless games was hurting JP and the team. Looking back on the situation, I now see what Mularkey & his staff were doing. They saw enough of Losman to believe he wasn't good enough & yanked him before the vets exploded the locker room. They felt they couldn't win with JP and went with a bandaid-Kelly Holcomb. That couldn't stop the bleeding (losses), but they felt it was futile to have JP in there. 2) JP's 3rd season-It would have been interesting to see what would have happened if the same staff that was there in 2005 was still in place-the ones who didn't trust JP with the starter's job. Fortunately, we will never know. So Marv & Jauron come in & what is one of their 1st moves-signing Craig Nall to compete for the starter's job. Now we know by now Nall is not starting material and by 2006 neither is Kelly Holcomb. So JP wins the starter's job by default. He plays well in about 3-7 games (depending on your view, but 7 is about the limit) and the fans thought JP was entrenched and would be the Bills' QB for the next decade. Now the guys who see the players every day in practice, gameday & subsequent film study show more by their actions than their words. When all the so called experts expect the Bills to fill an obvious need such as D back with pick 92 of the 2007 draft, the Bills surprise them all by picking a QB. This is the same group that signed Nall in a subtle attempt to replace JP the previous year. 3) JP's 4th season-From the 1st exhibition game & reports in practice, there are signs that not only has JP not moved forward, but he is playing more like the bad JP, not the good JP of the previous year's 3-7 games. In the 1st exhibition game, JP & the starting O are expected to play a few plays & get out of there. Unfortunately, JP & the O play so poorly that they are kept in a lot longer than planned. It cost the team an opportunity to get all QBs in the game. Do you remember how PO'd Nall was when he didn't play? As the preseason goes on, JP still is not showing much. Meanwhile Trent Edwards starts to light it up against the 2nd & 3rd stringers. By the end of pre-season, Trent has shown the most of the QBs & Nall is released. If there had been an open competition, Trent Edwards would have been the opening day starter, not JP Losman. Now the 1st 2 games JP flat out sucks, there's no other way to put it. Now JP gets injured & in his 1st start Trent edwards leads the Bills to victory. Now by the time JP is ready, the team has already found a guy the trust more. Once again, I go back to the fact they are the ones who see these guys 24/7. We all know how the rest of the story turns out. So, looking back-was JP handled poorly? Maybe, but the guys who see these guys 24/7 have been looking for something better for virtually JP's entire career, that should tell all the fans something. No matter how bad you think Mularkey and his staff were, they still now more about football & talent evaluation than just about everyone who is a member of this board. When Marv & Dick came in they too did just about everything they could to find JP's replacement. Once again-they know more than we do. Is this messing with someone, or is it more watching a guy & concluding he's just not good enough. Now JP has had his moments and does have 30 starts, so having him around as a 2nd stringer, in a league where decent backups are few & far between, does make some sense. Let's get to the final part-the ridiculous notion that JP was benched for financial reasons & Ralph is just being cheap. Did JP lose money by losing the starting job? I'm not so sure he did. 1st of all, the Bills don't think JP is a multi-million dollar talent. They view him in his proper place-a veteran backup who has started 30 games with limited success. Now if JP had played enough games for his salary to be higher than it is, it wouldn't mean he'd be getting it. If JP had played enough to earn the extra $ for 2008, I'm 99.9% sure that the Bills would have cut him, before they paid him starter's $ to be the backup. Also, Ralph & the team know darn well that whoever the starter is this year, a big year means a major contract extension for next season. So it really doesn't matter who the starter is from a financial standpoint. If Trent succeeds, which I fully expect, he's going to be paid about $7 million next year. Otherwise the Bills will be paying big $ to a 1st round rookie or a veteran acquired by trade or as a free agent. It was NEVER about Ralph pulling strings to save $.

It's not 1 game. I said we're going to the Super Bowl before the win against Seattle.

Yes, but Weis is still on the sidelines coaching & will be doing the post game press conference. Brady left his job immediately-what a wuss! Weis>Brady

He can't match Lori. Lori watches every game, knows the roster, knows who will be playing, knows how to evaluate the roster moves one season & even 1 week to the next. This guy is lucky if he's seen any Bills games other than when they played against his team when he was with them. He's just another national guy trying to evalute a game by looking at a few highlights and some stats. Lori is there, he's not -there's no comparison between the two when it comes to expertise on the Buffalo Bills. More Lori, less national analysis. GG-I don't know if the link is down or just slow. I opened it a while ago, and minimized it when it was going too slow. I then opened it about an hour later after I forgot about it & it was there. I loved the bickering by the fans below the article. One guy said Peters wasn't playing & called another one a moron for saying Peters would play.
