More like... 3-2-1... Cue the Trent haters

That's because Trent didn't completely fall on his face like Beck. You're honestly going to compare the two?

Nothing. Nothing is wrong with it.

I realize we should've gone with Haloti Ngata, but you're really comparing Whitner with Williams in terms of making the wrong pick? He hasn't exactly been a highlight reel machine, but that's just unfair.

Cleveland the Jets, for sure. Just shameful, embarassing playcalling at the end of those games. Against San Fran and Miami, none of our players really showed up, and to me that falls on the HC as well...though its tough to call him "directly" responsible for those losses. My guess is that we are 9-5 with an average head coach.

Davinci Code blew as a movie. It's the only piece that I disliked Tom Hanks in.

So because they're losing they have to hate Jauron? The text didn't say "you're doing a great job as a coach", it said that he respects him.

Right on man, I'm with you. Well written post. Frankly I was surprised that you were met with any indignation at all. I can't stand this idea that optimistic fans are nothing but naive pollyannas. I'm only 19 years old and I don't want the opportunity to be a lifelong Bills fan stolen from me by those who want to move the team.

I love how most Africans probably think the Bills and Vikings are the two greatest franchises in the history of the NFL. And yes, I realize most Africans don't know what the NFL is, but I choose to ignore this fact for the sake of the comedic value of the situation.

What I find hard to believe is that Belichick's rating is only at 72. Don't get me wrong, I hate him as much as the next guy around here...but as a NE* fan, how much more could you want out of this guy. 4 superbowl appearances in the decade, and he will probably make the playoffs with a QB who hasn't started since high school, and he has haters? Wow.

After the Buster Douglas fight, Mike had one of my favorite quotes of all time. A reporter asked him if he had prepared himself with a plan of attack. Mike said "Everyone has a plan 'til they get punched in the mouth". I'm sure he didn't mean it metaphorically, but it's such a true statement.

I don't trust pre-season stats as far as I can throw them. And I should let you know I can't throw stats very far at all.

Can't somebody be high character and intimidating? John Lynch is the first name to come to mind.

Yeah, because popular means good. I'm not saying Rogan is a particularly funny comedian, but Mencia is a joke-stealing piece of sh*t. I realize jokes have been ripped off before, but basically the entire comedian community has risen against Mencia. You don't see that too often. Musicians get sued for stealing guitar riffs, why shouldn't Mencia face some kind of justice for stealing jokes?

Mencia just flat out blows. Stop Carlos Mencia! http://www.collegehumor.com/video:1892552

You play to win the game.

I can see the future in my crystal ball. The Bills start Hamdan this week. He lights up the scoreboard against the NFL's worst defense. He has an average day against New England. A QB controversy is born. That said, I can't stand the thought of JP getting another start.

This actually isn't uncommon. Athletes who stop competing usually maintain their high calorie diets out of habit, and this is the result. Anybody who's seen Tony Gwynn lately knows what I'm talking about.

StupidNation living up to the billing of his handle yet again. It was Spears, not Ware. I know other people corrected SN before me, but I just wanted to drive the point home.

I hereby unilaterally elect bobonators to be GM and VP of football operations. I think landing Warner would be incredibly difficult, but if there is a way I'm all for it. I also like the idea of actually drafting a FB. I'm tired of having a rarely used FB who seems like some guy we just picked up off the street. If there's a Tony Richardson or Lorenzo Neal type of guy out there, I'm all for landing him.

Ok I just want to try to put this issue to bed. The team does not NEED an angry coach, it just needs a good coach (though I do prefer the fiery variety myself). The reason that everybody is demanding a gruden/cowher type is because that sort of coach is the polar opposite of Jauron, and many of us have fallen into the logic trap of assuming that anything that possesses an opposite quality of a bad entity must be a good entity. (In other words, if you had an abusive mother who made bad apple pie, you might be inclined to associate good apple pie with good mothering, even though the two are markedly unrelated.) There are many coaches with even demeanors that have had great success in recent past. Lovie Smith, Tony Dungy, and Mike Smith, and John Harbaugh immediately come to mind. On the flip side of the coin, Rod Marinelli, Norv Turner, and Jack Del Rio (three rather animated HCs) have coached teams that horribly underperformed this year. Bottomline? There are pros and cons to each type of demeanor. A fiery coach can easily motivate the troops in times of desperation, but more than likely will rub many players the wrong way. The vice versa scenario is true for the even-headed coach. So the solution to Buffalo's problem is to hire a good, intelligent head coach even if he has the personality of a bristle pad.

While the blanket statement "the defense is better than the offense" may be correct, you have to look at specifici facets of the game when it comes to the draft. By far, our weakest phase is pass rushing, so we should draft a DE. To me, it's as simple as that.

I don't know why people overreact to the Pro Bowl selections every year, when everybody admits it's a crock of sh*t. Just don't pay attention to it. I know I don't.

How? I think he makes a good point. Lynch and Turner have had relatively the same amount of success running with the ball, and yet the Falcons trust Turner more to carry the offense than we do Lynch, and thus their team has fared better. I wouldn't really say he was manipulating statistics there.

Uhhhh, sure...let's go with that. They were part of the awkward 80's to 90's transition that I think most people like to forget. This whole list is just filled with utter crap.
