All you have to do is ask nicely

So because they killed us and are 7-3 that automatically means that one of their guys is that much better than ours? By that logic that white receiver Urban they have is better than Lee Evans. Try again.

Yeah...that's easy for you to say...he isn't going to be representing your state for another six years.

http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2008/...-of-state-post/ Interesting that this has taken so long to show up on the board while we have threads about Lindsey Lohan and kids wearing t-shirts to school and Sarah Palin...

This guy talks about change but all I see is more of the same http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2008/...om-senate-seat/ He says he is about change but he did the same exact thing that John Kennedy did when he won the Presidency while a member of the Senate in 1960. Sounds like more of the same to me...

What does that have to do with Robert Royal being a moron?

I've got to say, Josh Reed has taken a lot of flack since he's been here. Some of it, particularly the part where he failed miserably at adjusting to the starting role after Peerless left, but man has that guy become a clutch player. Sometimes you just need the right QB and Edwards is that guy I think. But has anyone made more catches on third down than that guy has the past few years? We need him back ASAP. re. Whitner, he seems to be another big whipping boy around here but with all this talk about heart or a lack thereof, I think it's plain to see that it's one thing that Whitner brings to the table that not many other people on the roster do.

Speaking of that, are we sure that Robert Royal actually understands that the team with the most points at the end of the game is declared the winner? Someone should check that out, that might answer a lot of questions.

The loss of Reed obviously magnifies his progression or lack thereof. The disturbing thing to me is the lack of plays that they have drawn up for him in the red zone. Progress or not, throwing him a fade or a quick slant if the middle of the field is open can't be as bad as running it three times in a row can it?

Speaking of kool aid drinkers, looks like the gun vendors got you with the "Obama is going to ban guns like right away so buy a ton of them before he does!" load of bs. You've got to give them credit though, I hear business really is booming.

I think the time he was expected to miss was about a month but, and this is not knocking the other guys that are out (ok, maybe it is knocking a few of them) but I would expect him to be out there as soon as the doctors say it is close enough to physically possible. I would also expect Reed back out there ASAP. Those guys are just gamers and we need that attitude badly so here's hoping they do come back soon.

Remember also that once we get to the wild card argument there is a different set of tiebreakers. Say, for the sake of argument we lose to the Jets but win against the Pats and Dolphins and pick up a win against, say, the Broncos, that would give us an advantage as far as the AFC records go. Who knows at this point though.

Because they have been so strong in their one win Do remember that all the teams that have beaten us have a record identical or better. We've beaten all the teams worse than us.

Preston is absolute garbage. When Butler comes back Fowler should be back in there too...weren't we 5-1 with him starting?

Exactly, just like the Jets and just like the Dolphins. Absolutely frustrating...

Basically we need to run the table on November then have the rest of the AFC East teams split the rest of their games against each other, then we need to beat all of them in December. We could probably lose to Denver and get in at 11-5 but then again, who knows. You would figure in the AFC 11-5 would get us in this year though.

Whatever you do, do not address the center position. Also find another D Lineman from BYU.

That's the advantage we have in two weeks. If we think Jauron is bad, he could always be Herm Edwards...

I agree they looked pretty dead when they got down early on...I think the Pats are in their head...hopefully a win Week 17 might turn that around...

Yeah...why don't we have the line we started the season with in there again?

I like out chances much better if we have Butler and Reed back.

The thing that is so frustrating is that we are never good, we are never bad, we are always decidely average. The least they can do is just lay down like dogs for 16 games a season instead of giving us hope. They always show that glimmer of hope at some point in the season. The past few years it's been in the middle of the season. This year they seemed to have peaked early.

So is the crowd going to get up for this one or are they going to lay down like the Bills have the past three weeks. I, for one, have faith in the Buffalo faithful but I can only imagine how ugly it will get if we play like we did early on in the game. Hopefully the energy will make the Bills play with some fire for once.

I want to just get in. Call me nuts, I know we will get demolished and embarrased in the wild card round should we make it in but I just want to get it. Just once. This is our chance. No Brady, easy schedule...jus one time...please.

The problem is that they coach scared when they lose guys. They go into this conservative shell when they are missing key players. They are very hesitant to put pressure on the shoulders of younger players and back-ups. How else are they going to learn? That 3rd and goal screamed for a fade or a slant to Hardy...Edwards needs to recognize and go to the audible in situations like that.
