Wow, that's an incredibly vague statement. Once again, nobody really knows anything at this point, and everybody is just guessing or throwing out possibilities.

From the way he was walking back to near the locker room, it does not appear that his collar bone is broken. When that sucker is broken, you really need to immobilize the arm. It might just be slightly cracked, but it's still painful to move the arm at all. If anything is broken, I would guess it's either part of his rotator cuff region or maybe his shoulder blade, but even those are painful with any arm motion.

Great news. Always good to start the year off on the right foot. I don't know the area, but I've been there a couple of times to visit friends. Seems like a nice place, pretty close to some cool areas. I visited Philly once two seasons ago and got to watch the Bills game at a downtown Philly bar with about 40 other Bills fans. It was awesome. It was also Trent Edwards' swan song victory over San Diego. Damn, things seemed so good then.

Ugh.

Great post, thanks Rich. I agree that Fitzpatrick had a really nice game, which is even more impressive given the conditions. I actually think this guy has what it takes to be a solid QB, just not a game-changing QB. I think we really need to keep this guy around as a backup, but with Brohm on the roster (and not likely to be the starter), I'm not sure who is #2 and who is #3. For that matter, I'm not sure who #1 will be either. As for Jackson...anyone ever remember a 200-yard rushing day without any real breakaway runs? To me, that's what makes his accomplishment that much more amazing.

Tom Dempsey.

Probably because most people say "Hook and Ladderal", so they just shorten it to "Hook and Ladder".

Wow, glad she's okay. Oh, and we signed Freddie to a contract extension last offseason. Nice!

Speaking of which, anyone catch the whiny little bastard after he got pushed to the ground after a pass? He bitched to the ref, who wouldn't listen, and then he bitched at the player. God I hate him.

Dude, that was a Bills game.

Gotta love the Pats* player getting knocked unconscious on the sidelines and fumbling the ball, but retaining possession because it was touching his lifeless, partially out of bounds body. Oh, and while we're talking Pats*, might as well add the ridiculous Tuck Rule.

Don't worry, he's not.

Yes, this coming from the guy who just yesterday started a thread with: Then again, it is ICE, I should know better...

I hope you're right. I like his talent evaluation credentials, but we'll see how good he is at picking a coach.

He called me too. I like how he says "Buffalo Beeells."

Maybe Fewell is just going to announce that Fitz is the starting QB?

That seemed a little harsh even for the Onion. Sounds more like something posted here.

For Gregggg Williams, I would say it was the loss at home to the Pats* when he punted from the New England 32 yard line. Man, it hurts just to type that.

Norv doesn't get this many chances at being head coach if he's not a decent coach. I think he was probably a pretty good coach all along but never had a functional front office to help him out until now. So I agree with just about everything here.

The fans?

"The 2009 Buffalo Bills: It Was Over Before It Began."

Thanks for the update. I wonder if he would consider doing a column thing for TBD like Scott Pitoniak, just to keep the skills up in case he gets the itch to get back into the sportswriting biz. I enjoyed his style of writing.

I agree. I liked reading his column. Always wondered what happened to him.

According to what I found, both are 6'1" and Mayo weighs 7 lbs more than Poz (245 vs. 238).
