You can deny it all you want, but there is a huge segment of this board that totally marks out for white players. I'm not turning it into a whole big racial thing, but I'm just calling it like I see it. Owen Schmidt is another name that comes to mind.
No doubt

The day the Bills move is the day I switch over to the local team in my area or simply stop watching the NFL.
EXACTLY. This Bills love takes up a lot of time and energy. It has been particularly excruciating this year. If the Bills leave, I will have much more spare time and energy. I would rather have angst than its absence however.

Don't gamble, you always end up losing in the end. I promise you that.
Besides, betting with or against your team ALWAYS ruins the original purpose of watching said team. For example, if the Bills win by 1 point, and you bet them with the line of (-2) then you'd be pretty upset at the Bills even though they just won and became 6-1! No way to be a Bills fan.
K, I'll stop before the gambling addicts attack me...
you're right (mostly). i'm breaking one of my rules this week by betting on the home team. anyway the odds have shifted with my book to buffalo -1. money on the dolphins coming in.
unless miami goes nuts with the run, i don't see them winning.

Well, if you understood the game, you might realize that you are answering your own questions. Despite the fact that Whitner played FW and NICKEL CB much of the game, he was rarely tested. If he sucked at coverage, as you seem to think, you would think he would be targeted, especially by a QB like Rivers. But, take a look a the play-by-play from Sunday's game:
http://www.nfl.com/gamecenter/playbyplay?g...8&week=REG7
Whitner's was only thrown at ONCE the entire game, and the play went for a THREE yard completion. The pass was caught in the flat, and if it is the one I'm thinking of, it goes for a BIG gain if Whitner misses the open field tackle.

Your infantile insistence in looking only for certain stats to validate a player's worth, is typical of those who really don't pay a lot of attention to the game.
harsh but 100% correct

this is the sort of line that begs people to bet the bills. seems to good to be true. i am going with our guys, but it is a classic enticement line.
apologies for the many years of cynicism and roller coaster parlays behind this post.

Nobody could play in conditions like the Cleveland game with fairchild as OC.....
Trent will be ok.
exactly. also the great bills teams were always able to run the ball. that is the key to an december success for our '08-09 bills

The analogy seems to offer very little in addition to being totally inappropriate as football is merely a game and too many people are dying in Iraq when the original reason for going in, to stop WMD development proved meaningless.
indeed! let's keep politics and football separate. i like this board because there is way way less patriotic jingoistic chest thumping than on buffalobills.com, and the level of football knowledge is at least a step or two higher!
-
drafting whitner was a good idea and bribing locals not to kill the troops or iraqi police (the surge) was long overdue!

i think there is zero basis for wanting rodgers over edwards. the "cold weather" theory is silly since rodgers hasn't played in cold weather and edwards had to play in a steve fairchild offense.
december is about running the ball and the great bills teams always ran the ball well.

Rivers made a couple mistakes, Warner made virtually none. SD was moving the ball at will, but three plays made the difference. we had a couple chances in the AZ game to turn the tide (most notably youboty's dropped int after the losman-evans bomb), but it never happened.
and, with apologies to Losman fans, Edwards makes this team believe. He answered when it counted, never turned the ball over, and (correct me if i'm wrong) did not have any three and outs. The guy is a winner. Losman is a scratch off lottery ticket.
let's keep it rollin'! it has been a long time since we've had a team like this.

I used to live in Taipei for a while. I hated watching espn there. NBA love fest, voiced over Sunday Night Football and monday night football. terrible.
they don't have any football at all anymore. they do love the NBA and, more importantly, the Yankees. they broadcast every yanks game and, thanks to the magic of the SAP button, one doesn't have to listen to the voiced over broadcast. though, truth be told, i sometimes listen to the mandarin broadcast when ken singleton and al leiter get the call.

Hi Billsintaiwan, I live in Bangkok, I think we're the only two on this board in SE. Asia You gotta stay up and watch the games and experience a sleepy headed Monday. A couple of weeks ago I almost fell asleep giving my kids a test.
I have a couple of questions for you: are you downloading it from a torrent? and if so can you tell me which ones?
How is the internet there, here it is soooo slow!~!! I couldn't even see anything on the Justin TV feed last week. A few week ago there was a feed that you needed a pass word for (2278) and that worked good. Wish I could remember what it was.
hey man, what i usually do is listen to the games while lapsing in and out of sleep and then download a torrent within a day or so after. the site i use is http://leech.tenyardtorrents.com/search.php you will have to upload a reasonable amount (0.3 ratio) to maintain access. there are some great classics on there too, but they aren't seeded particularly well.
the internet here is pretty good, but i hate looking for video feeds at one in the morning and prefer watching the game when i have plenty of time to go through it. also with downloads you don't have to deal with all the bloody commercials. there is one guy who does a good job and is pretty prompt. he puts the games up in HD, which is cool. one problem might be the size of the download which has been anywhere from 2.8 to 3.5 GB. I have an old Mac mini, so storage and speed are issues.

Perhaps referees with an IQ higher than 12 would have been able to do that. This crew was as dumb as they come.
it was one of those games where there were the refs seemed to decide that AZ would have to be pretty blatant to be penalized. the refs seemed to get caught up in the atmosphere of the stadium. it wasn't as bad as any given patriots game last year, but it wasn't good. still there was no doubt that jenkins, in what will hopefully be his stupidest play of the year, lined up offside on a 4th&2 chip shot field goal.

Where in Taiwan do you live?
I live in Taoyuan City. About 45 minutes from Taipei.

and...Wow...the game would have been entirely different if, on the defensive series after the losman to evans bomb, either 1. youboty makes a pretty easy interception or 2. ryan denney stops hightower in the backfield (as he easily should have) on a third down play. AZ was really not looking good until hightower made that play. an interception or three and out changes the whole complexion of the game.
the defense, quite simply, did not give the team a chance to win.
i know this is several days late, but i usually have to download the games. the advantage is that i have complete control and can watch several plays over and over. one other conclusion: Adrian Wilson deserves a beat down somewhat for edwards, but more so for ripping off lynch's helmet.
Bring back Marv Levy as Coach, 3 year deal !!

a very important thing to remember about marv is that he didn't start to win big time until he relinquished control of the offense to kelly. his real talent was in knowing that he had a talented team and to not stand in its way. he didn't look so hot when todd collins became qb and dan henning ran the offense.
