Rubes

I play racquetball with a guy here in Utah who owns a coin business around the corner from my house. It's a small shop that you might never notice if you didn't look carefully enough. Yet after getting to know the guy, it turns out he used to be president of the American Numismatic Society (or something like that) and he's one of the top coin experts in the country. Who knew?

Confidence comes with success, my friend....more success than we've had so far, at least.

Like others have said before, we lose this game and we're 1-5 with 5 conference losses, 3 outside the division. That pretty much means you can kiss the playoffs bye-bye. Hopefully this team has some sense of that and plays lights out. They still have a lot to prove, especially on the road. If they fall flat on their faces against the Ravens this week, that will say a lot to me, and not just that the Ravens are a decent team.

What if we ban you? Will that help?

This is the stuff of legends...

I remember the greatest thing about that show was those giant strawberries. Man I wished I could have feasted on one of those.

Does this whole situation remind anyone of the RJ/Flutie thing a few years back, when RJ injured his rib cartilage? Flutie kept getting the start because RJ "wasn't 100% healed." Meanwhile, Flutie just kept winning, and I think most of us secretly hoped RJ would stay 99.5% healthy for a few more weeks.

Perhaps we should consider the fact that the Yankees have actually won more championships than the Bills could ever dream of.

Here's a fun game, pick which stats belong to Bledsoe and which belong to Vick. Sacks - 20 Yards lost - 109 Fumbles - 8 Fumbles lost - 5 Passing TDs - 4 INTs - 4 Completion% - 53.5 Rating - 77.3 Sacks - 20 Yards lost - 133 Fumbles - 2 Fumbles lost - 2 Passing TDs - 6 INTs - 3 Completion% - 57.7 Rating - 86.2 Keeping in mind that Vick has played 6 games to Bledsoe's 5.....

You're kidding me, right?

Although I am not here to argue about Brady being or not being one of the greatest quarterbacks ever, I am here to say that I thoroughly enjoyed that picture, as well as watching the video replay of it on ESPN. There are few things in life as enjoyable as watching Brady get splattered so hard he coughs up the football and his helmet at the same time (not to mention the padding over his earhole as well).

I think there are a lot of ways we can win this game, it's just a question of how well they play and which way the ball bounces. If we can manage to protect Drew and get receivers open, we should be okay on offense. On defense, if Boller is as susceptible to the zone blitz as Leftwich was, we should be fine.

Bravo!

Dude...how awesome is that....

True, I'm overexaggerating a wee tad. But he could've easily gained 60-70 yards or more on that one.

Not sure if this was posted already but.... ...on that screen pass that TKO intercepted and ran back, did anyone else see on the replay (the one from far above) that there were absolutely no Bills in sight behind TKO on that entire side of the field? Fiedler makes that throw over TKO and Konrad has a full escort with nobody to block all the way into the end zone. Phew!!!

Thta's about as close to smack talk as you'll get from FFS!

The kicker from BYU should get some looks, too...he can kick em from 52 yards, and he loves to lay some smack down on kickoffs. He looks like a slightly smaller version of Janikowski. And he's from BYU, so no booze or drugs, right?

What was most impressive to me is that he started out slowly...less than 3 yards per carry, and finished strong enough to surpass 4 yards per carry. Given that most of those yards were in the fourth quarter, when we needed them most, that gives me great hope for this team.

So far he's played like a vet. He has great talent. And Burress made one of the most unbelievable catches I've seen in a long time!

It was good to finally see our offense put a game away when it counted. Strong running by McGahee and Burns got the job done against a stout defense. Kudos.

I'll bet he plays some next week against the Ravens.

Bert Jones and Lydell Mitchell made a great backfield for those Colts. I still think Lydell Mitchell is a great football name.

He lives behind that Putt Putt? Damn, I used to go there a lot as a kid.

I never thought you could accurately depict drunkenness on a keyboard until now
