Speedy Sam Aiken didn't help matters much either...

already posted...

is that what this post is about? I thought it was the written version of Tourett's....

Is Brady cramping up this week?

Is that a promise or a tease?

Fact: Flutie - 2 fumbles, and 1 INT. 17 points. Ironically, ended game on his back w/o ball Fact: Johnson - 0 fumbles, 0 INT, 1 safety. 16 points. Ended game with would be winning points. Spare me your analysis on "lighting it up". It meant the difference of 1 point... BTW, Dusty Zeigler was our LT that game and "the greatest show on turf" put up 23 points against the Titans on a neutral site. 1 TD better than our Bills...

as long as you are pointing out the facts... what was the home record of the Titans in '99 and '00? What is the correlation between turnovers and wins in the NFL playoffs? Who played LT for the '99 Bills playoff edition? What does your definition of "light up" mean? 17 points? That;s what I thought... don't let ALL the facts get in the way, though.

the real question here is, right or wrong, who wants to talk with an insufferable jackass?

From my perspective, the only choice is Homerun Throwback. It was the perfect storm. Not only did we get back-doored by the officials, but it was the whole Rob lost/Flutie was screwed intertwined. To put numbers on it (remember this was back in 1999), on really, really active days we would get 600 messages posted (small by today's standards). On that day, we had 1200 in a few hours before we were turned off. I estimated it would have been about a 2000 message day. I got hate mail because I did not lease multiple servers and setup a distributive computing cluster for one playoff game (considering the perl code I was running it would have taken that much). The day Johnson was announced over Flutie was large too. That was in the dark days of Rivals.com. Even with that piss-poor operation, we managed to get 250,000 page views in one day (I can only imagine what it would have been if the boards were responsive). That was 5x the normal traffic back then.

the jerk store called....

peace on earth?

let's not forget that he didn't stay in Buffalo over the summer like Evans and Reed.

May I suggest that this is wrong also? You may claim it is the offensive line that is responsible for some increased production, but I can just as easily point to Bill Parcells as the conduit of success. DB has been mediocre talent for every coach he ever played for except one - Parcells. Carroll couldn't do anything with him, Belichek couldn't do anything with him, Williams, Mularkey.... It is Parcells squeezing the blood out of that turnip. And he STILL fumbles away the game winning TD during a key divisional game....

It's over. The SB Bills teams are over. Get over it. Kelly - gone. Thomas - gone. Reed - gone. Smith - Gone. Hull - gone. Hiring an ancient geezer who has been out of the game for nearly a decade just because he once walked the sidelines of OBD is insanity.

midol should help with the bloating and cramping...

I don't remember saying anything overly positive about our head coach. He is who he is... I don't know why TD slected him or the constraints that he was under when he made that choice. It certainly wasn't me who voted in ANY internet poll...

Oh God... That is what this team needs.... players that have the right facial expressions during post-game interviews.

There is an old saying about corners and why they aren't WR's... Who was the last CB we had that had as much talent as him? For YEARS we have been plagued with DBs that can't catch for crap. Thomas Smith, Antoine Winfield... We have bad team with no direction. We are fundamentally flawed and that affects the good players too. I think Nate is a better corner than some of his games this year. If he leaves, we better have a plan that will make the team better. Getting rid of him for the sake of vengence is counter-productive to building a winning program.

this is where you lose ALL objectivity. Nate is playing football and he tackled a guy. He wouldn't have come down half as hard if another guy didn't come along and smack him after Nate "no heart" took the guy off his feet. It was a ticky-tack foul called on NC. To go off on him for that just means you have turned into another hater... Nothing Nate can do or say will be good enough for you anymore.

blick.

"I just want to be held." Good night Joseph.

Nate is already under contract. What peripheral player did he sign that prevented us from signing him? Why did Philly let him go? They usually sign their top-flight YOUNG talent and let only the old guys and malcontents go.

Are you suggesting we let Nate go and ask Indy to give us Simon?

again, what is the name of that all-pro DL that is ready to come to Buffalo? A short list maybe? The top names routinely make it to free agency right?

It is funny how every criticism comes in a vacuum. We complain mightly about our lack of DTs and lack of pass rush, when that has a direct impact on corners. We complain about the poor schemes of our DC. We complain about the poor play of our safeties. Yet, when all these adversely affect one of our most talented players - he is a bum too? I don't see it. Nate can play corner and he will make a good defensive team better.
