These kind of comparisons get thrown around a lot here. "If I were a ____ and I only did my job correctly _____ out of every _______times, I'd get canned!" You know what the difference is between playing pro football and most other jobs??? In those other jobs, people aren't directly trying to prevent you from doing your job! If every accountant had 31 other accountants trying to make sure he didn't do his job correctly, he wouldn't be as good! Why do people think this is a legit comparison?

Please no Kyle Boller, he's just JP Losman in a Ravens jersey.

I'm still a fan of Dick in a box, but this was a great effort. These digital shorts are better than anything the show produces.

Why? There are plenty of teams worse than us right now, and we are far from being the only team to never win a superbowl. What makes us so special?

Mr. Blonde dancing around with the knife to Steeler's Wheel is one of the best scenes ever.

I've gotta agree with I Am Sam. Those are excellent covers, especially the one that The Wallflowers (led by Jakob Dylan) do of I'm Looking Through You.

To me, the best soundtrack ever is from Rudy. It's truly inspirational. I also like the music from Pirates of the Caribbean (the Klaus Badeldt stuff, not the Hans Zimmer)

This post illustrates the wrong attitude that most people have on this board. That attitude being that a player is either a gamechanger or he sucks. Aren't you all aware that most players in the NFL don't fit either of these categories. Most players aren't gamechangers and most players don't "suck". Now, Poz has fit into this gray area. He's forced one fumble and recorded zero sacks, but he also leads the team with an impressive 91 tackles. He's average so far. Not everybody has to be in a polarized category.

Now that you mention it, something else comes to mind. The Bills were 4-0, and then I got a haircut at a different place than I usually go to. After that, they've been 2-7. Call me crazy, but there's got to be a connection there, right? Come on dude, don't go all conspiracy theory on us. Agreed, contracts should ideally be handled in the offseason, but Evans' contract is probably somewhere close to number 350 on the list of reasons we've turned sour as a team. You gotta pick your battles.

Well, nobody besides the elderly goes into a Cracker Barrel in the first place, so I find the story feasible.

....

Uh, yeah he was. He couldn't make a tackle to save his life, and the opposing offense gained an average of 15 yards when a pass was thrown to the receiver he was covering.

I think Malkin's the better player, anyway. Not that I like either of them.

The Sabres this year tend to play down to (or up to) the level of their opponent. Whether we're facing a very good opponent or a very bad opponent, the results seem to be a game decided by one goal. I'd love to see us really stick it to Tampa Bay tomorrow. Beat em 6-1 like we used to a couple years ago.

Now that I can agree to.

I know the Dolphins are the feel good story and all, but I just can't make myself favor them over the Pats or Jets. It's probably cuz of my dad hating them so much, but the Phins will always be my least favorite team. That said, I'm also rooting for the Colts and Ravens to make the playoffs. I've always like Peyton and I think this Ravens squad is eerily similar to the Superbowl team they built back in 2000. They are 9-4 because of some early growing pains with Flacco, but he is better than Dilfer and they will be a scary playoff team.

What? Did we seriously need another thread telling us to fire Jauron and hire Schottenheimer or Cowher? These boards are a big broken record.

That's what we're told, but frankly I never see it happening. When he catches a pass, he sorta runs around like a chicken with its head cut off for a few seconds and then gets gang tackled, without gaining any YAC. It's so frustrating to watch him juke around for the home run play and gain nothing instead of diving forward a couple yards and getting more first downs. To me, he is simply a below average receiver, plain and simple. I'm just hoping we trade him and milk a 3rd rounder out of somebody.

Thanks for the unique topic. I was under the impression that everybody on these boards was in love with Jauron and company.

The only stat that counts is points. Our D is good at limiting points, as we have a tendency to tighten up in the red zone. Our D isn't spectacular but it's certainly been playing well enough that we would be 8-5 at the least with a semi-competent offense.

What is that even supposed to mean? "Star on our team that would be a star on another". Does that include the Lions, Bengals, Chiefs, Raiders, Seahawks, and Rams? Because I'm sure they'd be happy to take a lot of our best players off our hands. Seriously, that is such a vague question, how are we supposed to respond?

Correct. We ought to take the best DE available, then the best center available.

you don't know what an acronym is, do you?

Right on, brother. I get frustrated during games like everybody else. But for those who are still bitching and whining the day AFTER the game? (and who will continue to do so into tuesday, wednesday, thursday, etc...), get an effing grip. You treat Wilson, Jauron, JP, and the gang as if they've personally sleighted you. As if they've reneged on a sacred responsibility to make you happy every Sunday. Guess what, it's a game that we like to watch. The players are in it for themselves, and we are along for the ride. Don't take it so personally. If you're one of those people who says "well I've been a fan for 43 years and I deserve a Superbowl", you don't deserve anything. You watch a football game once a week for a 4 month period and you deserve something? Where does this sense of entitlement come from? I watch the Bills because I love Buffalo, I love sports (the athleticism, the competition, the statistics, everything really), but I'm aware that I don't deserve anything.

Laughter's the best medicine in most cases, but a good dose of respect is what the doctor ordered today.
