When Phin fans are suffering life is good.

My favorite quote from there today: "Whenever I see Zach blitz, I always cringe. Mini-me could pick him up. Why they keep sending him, I have no idea."

I think he's just saying that you don't usually see QBs who have that kind of TD/INT ratio throw so few TDs, as they're usually the elite QBs. If a QB throws 12 TDs it usually goes along with 15 INTs or some other similar number.

I think you'll see more TDs and more INTs than that by season's end.

On the road vs. the Bears is a different story than at home vs. the Vikes. I hope I'm wrong but I'm expecting Losman's first bad outing of the season next week.

As happy as I am with the win today I think I've enjoyed reading Finheaven in the past hour even more than the game today. Nothing like reveling in Phin Phan's SB dreams being smashed to pieces. Pure entertainment.

For the most part I liked the playcalling today. The 3rd and goal running play from the 5 yard line was a bit much though. There are ways to protect your young QB while still giving him a chance to make a play. A sack there isn't going to kill you only a turnover will. Give the guy a chance to make a play.

Yeah, unfortunately I'm paying attention as my opponent this week in my FF money league started him. Twenty-one fantasy points later and I've decided I don't much care for that Colston kid.

The more complex you make things the more likely it is that someone along the way will screw something up. Mularkey has yet to learn this lesson.

NS, did you see the play they tried to run for the tying 2-point conversion? Classic Mularkey.

Not sure ewhy you're slapping your head at that. 3rd and 1 at the 20. You run the ball and try to pick up the first down. If you don't get it you kick the FG with very little time left. If you get it you line up and spike the ball (saving your last TO). In a defensive battle this would have been a better way of managing the game.

Yeah, I saw that after I made the post.

I'm not sure I understand this. The nearest Viking was 2.5 yards away when the Bills caught the ball. How was that not giving them the opportunity to catch it?

Same...but I hope he has his worst game as a pro today.

That was my first thought. I'm guessing he got killed by the local press.

My grandmother used to live in Hemet when I was a kid. All I remember about it was that it seemed like miles and miles of trailer parks with lots of old people living in them. Granted, these weren't your trashy type trailer parks, they were actually pretty nice.

I'd just like to see him sit out of practice totally until its healed. Coming in every week and practicing only to aggravate it and not play is pointless and only prolongs the recovery time.

What if I prefer the Patriot cheerleader?

It would seem that you'd look at the specifics of his game and then decide he won't be good instead of deciding he wont' be good and then looking for reasons. But hey, that's just me.

You could literally use that defense against ANY pick they made at the 8 spot. Let's say that drafted Kyle Williams there, you could still say, "PROVE they could have gotten him in a later round!" Of course the person couldn't prove it, it's impossible to prove. The Bills did what they thought was right and hopefully it works out. That being said just about all of the info that the media and their "inside sources" have gotten from other teams say that he would have been available later. The general pre-draft grades say he would have been available later. There are no guarantees in life, perhaps he wouldn't have been available but sometimes you have to take all the info you have and roll the dice instead of locking onto the one player you absolutely have to have. I think Whitner will be a very good player for the Bills, he seems to be a bright young guy with loads of talent that hasn't had many issues transitioning to the NFL. I do, however, believe, based on what I've read/heard that Whitner could have been had in the mid first round. It's not fact, it's just what I believe

I admire your patience Kelly. I can't believe you continue to ram your head into the brick wall that is Holcombs Arm's stance on JP. Perhaps one day you'll knock a brick out.

Thankfully we have the "TO TRIED TO COMMIT SUICIDE!!!" story to carry us through the weekend. Oh, and there are a few good games. NE at Cinci and NO at Carolina should both be worth watching. I agree though, it is slim pickings.

It's not quite the same thing. The QB position feels way more preasure than any other individual position on the field. If the Bills had Peyton Manning I'd say the D needs to step up their play to take the preasure off Peyton. The moment a QB feels like he has to do it all is when mistakes happen.

Wilfield is probably my favorite Bill since the early 90s. I just love watching the guy play. He lays it all out there on every single play and was vastly underated as a cover corner because of his size. I thought he was a better corner than Nate when he left and I think he still is.

As opposed to your definition of a great back which was, "he's leading the league in rushing in week 3!" I'll take my definition over yours any day. And btw, none of the backs on that list are great with the exception of Thurman and Martin (Emmitt as you said actually met the criteria). Perhaps this is the issue, you want to label every good back you see as "GREAT!"
