I guess what I am asking is if there is a deliberate "we are leaving clues for the viewer to find so that they can solve the puzzle of the show" or are we just talking about a good script? i.e. is this a Murder/Mystery Dinner Party or just a story?

I have been watching the past 5 episodes or so... Is there actually supposed to be a real puzzle to solve or are you guys just discussing this in general? i.e. are there "real clues" to some answer that gets revealed intenionally at the end??

try looking at KEYW and tell me what you think?

could you narrow that down?

I was about to post "Pat, I'll buy a period for $250", but your's was waaaay better.

It pisses me off too.... It's almost like these morons think it's a game or something....

I knew it didn't look right....

The caboose is a part of the train. I didn't say "engine". Your nit-pick is denied!

technically correct, but I was looking for "red".

correct...

The last answer that needs correcting was the reindeer coach, It was not Blitzen.

KD got it. There is still one answer to be corrected and a choice between red and pink.

6 right, 2 wrong, one you gave multiple answers, and I'll give you credit for another answer I wasn't thinking of, but is also correct. so. 7.5/10.

What was the name of the elf who wanted to be a dentist? Who was Rudolph's father? Who was the reindeer coach? What color was Clarise's bow (the doe who liked Rudolph)? Who was Rudolph's best friend at reindeer camp? What reason did the elf give for not needing anyone else? On the Isle of Misfit Toys what was wrong with the squirt gun? What was wrong with the train? What secret did Yukon Cornelius know about the Abominable Snow Monster? What food did Yukon Cornelius compare the fog with?

if that is your only choice - I say away. but, have you thought about a personalized jersey? Player turnover is way too high to be buying player specific jerseys IMHO.

Hey slappy... We've been around longer than any other Bills forum. I guess we will be starting our 8th year very shortly. I hardly think you are there is anything you can say or suggest that hasn't been addressed in the late 90's... So, just drop it. Really. There is no chance that is going to happen and it isn't even open to discussion.

I believe you mean "3rd person" - no?

Uhhh... yeah. Ted Marchibroda and Wade were both head coaches before coming to Buffalo. Ted Cottrell is a DC. That does not qualify as a coaching tree in anyone's book.

Marv wishes he had such a lofty coaching tree....

I went and listened to the answer, but I thought I read yesterday that my guess was incorrect. Apparently, I'm right.

I must be that dumb.

what's just as ridiculous is Miami is going to be a cake walk, yet Seattle was a quality win over a tough opponent. Didn't those two teams meet last week? Did Seattle crush Miami?

???? Indy provides a HORRIBLE matchup for us. The only way to stop them is with pressure. The one thing we don't do is pressure the QB. Manning eats this defense alive and Bledsoe cannot go toe to toe with them.

you are confusing the issues here. More than likely, a playoff team is not going to allow us to dominate them on the road like this sinking Seahawks team, so those offensive numbers don't translate. However, mistakes that are under one's own control are probably better indicators of future performance when the lights are bright, the opponents are good, and the ass is puckered. Perhaps you are thinking this is the SB winning Rams offense that could afford turnovers. I would suggest they are not. You asked a question - I gave an answer. Protect the football. It's an important part of the game.

That's all fine and dandy, but we beat up on another mediocre team - which is a good thing. We are supposed to beat up mediocre teams, so it's definitely a step forward. You asked what more could we want out of Bledsoe.... I dunno - do you weant to kick the snot out of Arizona or do you want to win a playoff game? You want to beat the bottom half of the league then I guess we couldn't ask for anything more. However, if you ever desire to watch the Bills in at least mid-January - then you better have someone who isn't turning the ball over 3 times a game. Turnovers lose games - ESPECIALLY playoff games. Our last playoff game listed our QB with 2 fumbles and 1 INT. Games are won or lost on "5 bad throws" or other type plays. This league is built around minimizing mistakes these days. Make fewer bad plays than your opponent and you are in good shape. 3 INT's are BAD win/lose/tie. They should NEVER be excused.
