this is the one. chan 'the man' gailey. i reckon we'll like him this time next year.

exactly...the ncaa is the biggest exploitation racket in sports. you don't get paid when your knee gets popped, you get to tell stories about how you could have been a contender.

yeah, he was something at hawaii. and june jones's guys had to learn to read defenses on the fly, so he might actually be serviceable one of these days

there you go!

i can see them signing peters to an extension this time, but the man had three years left on his K last time. i blame preston for acting like an idiot. he is a fourth year guy who should know better. i would blame jauron for having him on the field, but option two was who?

i don't know that i agree with you regarding preston, but your points regarding jauron are correct. i hope, and i do use the word hope in its fullest sense, that jauron relaizes the importance of a running game and a pass rush. there was no excuse for not being more of a run first team this year. as for the pass rush, we don't have the talent at this point. if there ever is a reasonable pass rush, then i think the cover 2 may work. i don't think any scheme works with our weak ass line. i am willing to be patient for one more year. it will be trent's third year. if he is the guy we hope he is, then this is his year.

have lived here for over three years now. work at a university and do some legal consulting work. bucks aren't much compared to what i would get in the states, but life is a lot easier here. less cops, great food, low taxes, no religious nutters, almost reasonable wife, nice kid, etc...

6. Bill Bellicheat gets two extra weeks off next year because he can outcoach Jauron from Bermuda - even if he has had a little too much rum to drink That is funny. laughing on a rainy morning in taiwan.

He has made some bad gameday decisions. I have to believe he has learned from his mistakes. He isn't an idiot. and trust me, i know this is not the strongest argument since the guy has had more than a few nfl games to get this stuff down. still, the bills are young and while you can blame jauron for being conservative at the end of the half against the pats, you can't fault him for duke preston acting like an idiot. People on this board who want to trade peters or fire jauron are swinging blindly in the dark. maybe peters is a malcontent. he is also one of the best LTs I have seen. better than will wolford was in his prime. better than bruce armstrong was when he gave bruce all he could handle. maybe not munoz due to some inconsistency, but i think he gets better. jauron has not been the second coming of shula, but he isn't hank bullough either. i will join his fan club because he is the best option for the bills going into 2009. Patience, grasshoppers, the team will rise.

aaron schobel. langston walker. just guessing. they fit the profile.

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.

No doubt

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.

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.

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.

love that i'm up at 230 am listening to delayed cell phone broadcast

fg? i have a big time delay on my radio feed

10 yard line

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.
