Albany,n.y.

The Old Farmers Almanac specifically said "No once in a career blizzards or monsoons are projected for Bills games for the next 10 years."

Marcus Buggs was drawing raves early in camp. If he's progressed on the PS, he's the guy, not Spragan.

Most draft guides had Trent rated between 3rd and 5th best QB in the draft. Here's what I have seen from the 2007 draft-when we get to GMjr, Russ Lande, a former NFL scout for 2 teams, he totally blew the Edwards analysis. Mel Kiper-4th best QB, mid 2nd rounder. Nolan Nawrocki-3rd QB, 2nd rounder. NFL Draft Scout-4th QB 2-3 rounder. Frank Coyle, Draft Insiders' Digest-5th QB, 4th rounder. Finally, GMjr, Russ Lande-15th QB, 7th rounder. He believed that Edwards would go in the 2nd round even though he rated him so low, but added in his mock draft where he had him going to KC " Chiefs are not sold on Brodie Croyle for their future and they have bought the hype after Edwards great Pro Day." Here's his weaknesses writeup:"Trent is an inconsistent quarterback whose bad footwork and lower body mechanics hinder his ability to consistently see/sense the pass rush coming and takes a large number of sacks that he has the athleticism to avoid. Despite not panicing under pressure, he does not consistently throw the ball accurately in key spots which hindered his ability to convert consistently in key spots (Converted under 49% of key important downs). He is a thin looking quarterback on the 'Hoof' and has struggled to stay healthy at Stanford, so I believe he will have trouble being a durable NFL quarterback." Here's his summary : "Trent is an interesting prospect because prior to evaluating him I had very high hopes for him having seen flashes of him play on TV, but upon charting out 6 games from his junior season I was greatly disappointed. He is being widely talked about as one of the "Sleeper' quarterbacks and is listed as the 3rd or 4th best quarterbacks by a number of NFL teams, but I think teams are falling in love with the quick, compact delivery and strong intangibles. While arm strength is the most over-rated part of a quarterback, Tren's inability to consistently throw accurately when he tries to put zip on passes is a major concern. Overall, I am sure Trent will be drafted much higher than I have him rated, but I am confident that in the end Trent will struggle to be anything more than a quality backup quarterback in the NFL." Is it any wonder this guy has been canned from both his NFL scouting jobs? These are the QBs, in order, that he had rated above Edwards: Jamarcus Russell, Kevin Kolb, John Beck, Brady Quinn, Matt Moore, Troy Smith, Drew Stanton, Toby Korrodi, Tyler Thigpen, Jeff Rowe, Jordan Palmer, Tyler Palko, Luke Gesty, and Lester Ricard. Ironically Ricard, his 14th QB was on Tulane.

What choice did the Chargers have. They got Rivers after Brees had a bad season & they had the worst record in the league & Eli refused to play there. So Brees has his 1st great year, Rivers sits on the bench & they franchise Brees. The next season Brees has another good season, but then gets injured & now the Chargers, who could have franchised him again & then tried to trade 1 of the 2 QBs are stuck-some team might want to gamble on Brees with $, but the Chargers ability to trade Brees is out the window since he may have a career changing or even ending injury. Remember this: Miami chose trading for an injured Culpepper over giving a free agent contract to Brees. Now they have to choose Rivers since if they trade Rivers & Brees doesn't come back they're screwed. They can't trade Brees because he has no trade value with the arm injury. The injury tied the Chargers hands-they had to let Brees go and keep Rivers. You can't even question the Chargers decision to get Rivers on draft day since that was a QB & WR draft at the top & none of the receivers was worth picking over a QB at #1 & they got a ton of value from the Manning to NY deal.

I don't have a link since I read it in my Adobe file issue.

On a good day 9. Yesterday 8:55. I caught a break because virtually nobody left the game & jammed up the roads & I was able to take 219 to the Thruway. When the roads jam I go 20/78 to the Depew exit before getting on the Thruway & that is slower. Opening day too many people left & I got home after 10. I was quite surprised when we pulled away & I saw it was you.

Not only was he there, but we were parked 2 cars from each other at the Thruway rest stop & pulled away at the same time, on the way home. I think he got home sooner than I did since he got off at the next exit.

It won't be the Jets game. The NY Giants @ Dallas will stay as the Sunday Night game. The Jets game could get flexed from 1 to 4, by not to 8.

I realized that because of the blackout there couldn't be any replay challenges. It's a good thing we didn't get screwed by the refs during the blackout. I had to revert to looking at the down markers on the sidelines for some plays. The key to successfully navigating the bathrooms was to get to a corner of the urinal. At halftime I went to the upper deck because they're always less crowded & was able to reach a corner, then it was as if I was blind, that's how dark it was. I didn't even try the bathroom by my seat, way too dark.

John Leypoldt 9/13/76. Saban resigned a month & 2 days later.

Leonard Smith never played again after his infection.

Great story: John's there visiting his mother & his sister's husband is having a birthday party. His sister tells them to come over at 2:00 for the party on Sunday. John demanded that they change the time since he needs the 1-4 time to watch the Bills game. Last I heard John expects them to move the party to Saturday.

It is when JP plays. Since Edwards, not JP is playing, the Chargers won't have the ball long enough to score more points than the Bills. The Madden thing is good because now when the Bills win, it's added proof that Edwards=wins, JP =losses.

I'll be there alone-Petrino sold his seats on ticket exchange & will be watching the game in Connecticut.

I can interpret that dream: In your subconcious you know that JP Losman is the 2nd coming of Rob Johnson. It also might be interpreted as seeing the future: Once JP leaves the Bills, he will sign with another team, leave that team in a year & be out of the league in 2 years.

There is a place where JP can find a coaching staff & a playbook suited to deep passing-It's called Arena Football. JP Durable? 1st season-missed the 1st 4 games with a broken leg. 2nd season missed one game outright because he was too banged up, didn't play the final two after that one either because he was injured as the coach said, or the coach was too afraid to put him back in. 4th season-the knee injury. He's missed time in 3 of 4 seasons, he's no Bret Favre.

Nobody knows what Stanton can do. He was on IR last year & was injured until a couple of weeks ago. Detroit will have to play him the last 1/4 of the season & see what he has, but no data doesn't equal a stiff (yet).

You left out the biggest bust of the last 5 years-the one 1st rounder who set the franchise back 3 years.

Christie is Canadian, he's Un-American!

McCargo, McCain same guy-a bust. Does that make it ok to be on the political board?

Because we're a Super Bowl contender & his team sucks. I hope Gonzalez goes to this year's Super Bowl in Tampa & watches thousands of Bills fans celebrating Buffalo's 1st SB Championship & regrets playing on a 2-3 win team this season.

Beck=JP

He doesn't have a home or cell phone? There's no need to be in the office to finalize a trade.

Broken finger per ESPN radio.

Ryan is another example of how important the QB position is. It may be a team game, but a bad QB can sink a team & a good QB can elevate a team. Atlanta was 4-12 because last year they had Harrington, Leftwich & Redman-all wash outs with other teams. This year they're a playoff contender with a good rookie. Funny how when you mention the difference between our QBs the (few remaining) JP defenders say it's a team game when you cite W-L records & for years they've been arguing that QBs need years for "the light to come on". You either have it or you don't-Ryan has it. Harrington to Ryan is =JP to Trent. QBs win and lose for a reason. When 2 QBs have drastically different W-L records with the same team, it's the QB who is making all the difference.
