HalftimeAdjustment

Beginning to feel like this will be another in a long line of Buffalo sports screwjobs. It will need a name. Suggestions?

To everyone who complained earlier in the season that Fred had hit the wall: he was playing with an injured knee. He looks a lot better now than in the games before the bye. Of course CJ is faster and looks great but it is good to have Fred back to form.

So, Ralph is actually interfering with the defensive calls? Or mandating that they hire Dave Wannstedt because he's heard of him? There hasn't been any substantive change in our defense since 2000? Tom Donohue and Buddy Nix are the same guy who make the same kinds of decisions? Hiring Mario Williams for $100M is a typical Ralph move? I understand how Ralph has caused the franchise problems in past years, but I am just not seeing his fingerprints on our current malaise.

1 Stadium 2 Ralph's health 3 Small corporate sponsor base 4 Low median income in area to support PSLs and other revenue 5 Shrinking population

So, a new field would cost less than his contract, right?

How convenient: the bye week is next week. See you in 2 weeks. Have a nice leave.

Maybe we should highlight who played well, instead of who failed. Here's my list: Fred Jackson, CJ Spiller, Brad Smith, Leodis McKelvin. No one else comes to mind, although Gilmore might have done OK, I do not remember him getting burned.

So that means F the league office that insists we have to play another 9 games? If it is any consolation, one is in Toronto.

How about that punter!

He looks healthier today than the last 2 weeks.

I would have gone for 2. Don't care what the 'card' says.

So far.

We need to give up a few more yards on 2nd down so we can stay out of 3rd and long. Opponents convert nearly 100% in 3rd and 8-10.

No. We do not.

Let's not forget that Arizona has had major pass protection issues in the last few weeks. Which is hopefully good for us today, but doesn't mean our defense is back to expectations.

The NFL.com play by play said R. Lindell kicks off for a touchback. Is that correct or was it Potter?

So, if I was the coach and felt he was underperforming because of his recent family tragedy... I would probably do this: 1) Keep him in as starter. Officially dropping him would probably be bad for him and probably bad for team morale given the situation. 2) Call for a LOT of substitution packages with his backup. Assuming his backup is playing better. Otherwise.... do nothing. Beyond that you just have to give him time to work through it. If he comes back next year and does poorly you deal with it at that time... Hopefully that is not the case. If it hurts his performance for future seasons he should seek help... but I do not think the team can get into that. Right now the loss is too fresh and there is very little anyone can do about it.

Good point. I say QB in rounds 1-4. Rds 5-6, LB. Rd 7, WR *or* trade away our rd 7 pick for a rd 6 pick in 2014. On a related note I would try to trade away our Rd 7 picks every year.

It's unlikely that teams 1-9 will all pick QBs but I would be OK bringing in the 10th best QB in the draft at this point.

Put her in at any position on D. Can't hurt.

Win 7 of the remaining 11 games.

I haven't heard of him. Git 'r done, Buddy.

Too much Twitter leads to dropping the ball, right?

Has any other player expressed an interest in having a refrigerator in their locker? Was there a longstanding "no refrigerators in player lockers" policy, or is Mario just the first player to pimp out his locker this way? Do any of the New England Patriots have refrigerators in their locker? I feel that the whole story has yet to be told. We already knew that Stevie Johnson drops passes due to overuse of Twitter. Now we need to know if easy access to bottled water is causing Mario to overhydrate... and once he's bloated he can't defend himself against hands to the face?
