This team is absolutely awful on D, but the offense is more watchable than it has been in years. You can see how most of the plays have potential to work. Gailey knows what he's doing. We are just short of personnel. The play-calling was not good last week, but maybe Gailey saw something in the Jacksonville D that he thought he could take advantage of. If I were the Jacksonville coordinator, I would have stacked up against the run. I haven't (and won't) re-watch the game, but I reckon that's what Gailey saw. If not, then it was just bad play-calling. To repeat the obvious, we don't have a defense. The offense has been reasonable. That Maybin pick might have set this franchise back at least a year. We're going to have address that position again. This will be a long year. I bet the offense pulls out a game somewhere along the line. Probably just one though. Then for the most tedious, repetitive pre-draft period for years on TBD!

marshawn lynch is a two strikes guy. nobody was going to give up the farm. get over it.

i think they're comparable.

ach. he knows what sells. plenty of reactive whinging all the time about whatever the topic of the day might be. no real analysis due to ignorance, sloth, and/or intransigence. no matter. last time i was back in town the local talk radio people were frothing about cash for clunkers, and though i reckon it was a silly scheme, the vitriol and hysteria that it engendered not only on the radio, but among people in bars and restaurants i was at leads me to believe that sullivan knows his audience. too many ignorant folk lurching from crisis to crisis, pitchforks and torches close by. not everyone, obviously, but too many people in buffalo are sullivan's symbiotic cohorts. i agree with bobblehead. just turn the guy off if you don't like him. i know it's hard. it's like trying not to watch fox news. even though you know exactly what it will be, you still like to see exactly how the hackneyed agenda gets furthered. but everyone should do their best.

yup. that play would have made me sit his sorry arse for the second half. the guy isn't an nfl quarterback. fitz would have made that play.

gailey is wishy-washy? sullivan wants to see edwards against new england again? or he doesn't? what? the guy is like the soviet news service. same line, over and over. often right about racism in watts and not much else. i get the line that the bills are a dysfunctional franchise. the proof is unfortunately in the pudding. however this article is pure nonsense. http://www.buffalonews.com/sports/columns/jerry-sullivan/article196311.ece

fitz, if nothing else, can read a blitz and would have hit a wide open parrish on that last third down play on the last possession in the first half. parrish was good for at least the first down and probably much more. no way an fitz misses that. that is the difference between him and TE. he sees defenses and has some balls. he just doesn't always make the throw because he isn't the most accurate guy in the world. that parrish play, btw, was a real game changer. it looks awful on film. bet that was the clincher for gailey.

lazy?

unfortunately, i don't know if i've ever seen a guy look less like a professional football player. both maybin and the recently released james hardy look permanently lost in their own ways.

East Side Grill or Red Lion on University Avenue. the grill has a good breakfast buffet.

no. i'll stop here.

fully concur. he was a whinging ninny in most his games against kelly's bills. imploring refs, cussing out his teammates, and generally pouting like a frustrated child. mcgahee as well. two things about buffalo that have always been cool are the food and bars. and i don't mean chippewa. people who are into dave and busters and can't dig a cool joints like the old pink or mohawk place, or dig buffalo's great food, just are not my people. his insults reveal what a shallow mtv-driven culture produces.

cheers mate. like bowery4, i'm in asia and have no chance to see the preseason games. hope this works!

If we merge with the Lions, we'll achieve all of our goals much faster. No more qb debate, great receiver to play with evans. don't know about their lineman. two anachronistic cities merge to form the Billions. I reckon the lines would still be weak.

until our comeback win over the oilers, that was hands down the best game i'd ever seen. coryell made the game a blast. too bad it was minus whatever when they played the bengals. would have dug a niners-chargers superbowl.

slightly off topic, but yeah words get contorted. i remember when i was at ub and took an 'african-american politics' class. first day of class, professor major coleman, a black guy, writes the name of the class on the board and then crosses out 'african-american' and writes 'black'. he said that black, to him, was a more powerful and honest word. the black kids in class didn't know what to think since 'african-american' was the proper term of the day. lenny bruce and dick gregory had their takes on the n word. lenny, a white guy, said say it so many times it becomes meaningless. somewhat taken up by the black community in reference to one another. dick gregory used it as the title of his book. that way, he said, the next time someone called his mother 'the n word', she'd know they were talking about his book. i wouldn't use 'colored' because it would take too much time to explain your point of view. who knows. remember 'flesh' or was it 'skin' colored crayolas that were caucasian colored? anyway, no matter, black or white, colored or no, dusky hued or pale, i'll reiterate, unnecessarily since we all know, that this is awful. i have a 2 year old. i travel for work quite often (baseball scout). always leave him with my wife. she has to work part-time (scout's salary is crap), so she'll leave him with her parents. all sorts of shite could happen. knock on wood that it hasn't.

that is more like it. can't believe a thread about cunningham's kid drowning turns into a race debate. it is a nightmare pure and simple.

http://www.libraryindex.com/pages/1779/Gun...BY-GUNFIRE.html this says more black kids than white kids die by the gun, but it doesn't break down age and race,m just race and it is up to 19 years old. plenty more black kids get offed by non-accidental shootings than white kids, no? i just don't recall any stories of little black finds daddy's gun and pops himself. heard a few about little white kids doing such. doubt it is terribly common in either case.

i get you, sort of, but i bet that if you looked at kids getting offed from a gun in the house, the stats would be either skewed toward whitey or neutral. i say that without consulting the google god, which i may do shortly.

exactly. he was ranting about on the front line...where? ah yes. cuba. there wouldn't be a front line there if we didn't insist on maintaining a cold war base. if anyone couldn't handle the truth, it was the colonel. it was a fine rant though. i think jack did something like fifty times before he was satisfied.

This isn't my story, it comes from my uncle. It was a Monday night game in the 70's and he was on acid. The game got a bit "like a pinball game on tilt", so he went to take a leak and saw a little kid trying to wake up his father who was passed out with his head in the pisser. "Wake up, daddy. wake up!"

buffalo bills security stole a can of pringles from my grandfather and i in 1985. other than that, it has been all good.

Did anyone else buy that bottle opener that plays Van's call for Christie's game winning kick in the the Comeback? Mine lasted a long time despite frequent and enthusiastic use.

But that wasn't the point of the post, was it?
