The ball hit his fingernails, not his hands. Big difference. You people who blame Travis whenever the opportunity presents itself make me sick. No one ever says a damn thing about any of our other offensive players. Moulds had a huge fumble last week, hasn't made an appearance today ....oh wait he just dropped a pass. That was probably Travis's fault too. Josh Reed and Lee Evans...any criticism of these players? Nope....it's all Travis bashing....and he's our GOD D*** MVP. I think Willis would be effective today, so I'm not saying we should stick with him for all four quarters. But I will defend a guy who does what he does, and yet has to put up with so much BS from the fans.

Meet Ted Washington and Warren Sapp, Mr. Pucillo. Sigh...injury to insult.

Yep. We would have had a first down at the Raiders' 12-yard line if it wasn't for that holding call. It was about to be 10-6. Unless we fumbled or threw an interception anyway.

BS. Drew had no pressure (for once), had no defender between him and the intended receiver and throws a ball over his head. It was a natural instinct for Travis to put his hands up, resulting in the deflection and easy interception. That's Drew's fault, and he will be the first one to admit it. Just read your post, Todd. "As bad as some of Drew's throws have been today, Travis needs to catch that ball." Doesn't that say a mouthful? To paraphrase your message, "Hey, Drew can't make many good throws these days, so whenever he gets off a pass that isn't just plain awful, our receivers need to bail him out by making great catches."

OK everyone....let's blame Travis for that lousy throw.

One half of bad football, or 3+ years? I understand what you are saying. We're down by just four and it's only the second game of the season, so your point is taken. But there's a lot of frustration around here.

Great ending to the half. Hopefully a sign of things to come.

Hell, their fans have better hands than Josh Reed.

Their tight end can make a catch like that, and Josh Reed can't catch a ball that hits him right in the hands. That sums up Josh Reed. And by the way, Jerry Gray, Amos Zeroue is not a decoy. When he's on the field, the ball is probably going to him, either on a handoff or through the air.

A three-and-out would have been huge there. Their defense probably would have been tired and we could have attacked them with a two-minute offense. But no accounted for a quarterback who has made a living out of scrambling. Now we need to hold on and not allow any points before the half.

I'm one of the biggest Travis supporters here, but if the Raiders keep playing this overly-aggressive defense, I think Willis' style is a better fit today.

Any Bill getting hurt is NOT a positive. For that matter, any player on any team getting hurt is not a positive. I know we are disgusted right now, but someone getting hurt is not a good thing.

Actually, I do have a positive comment. Our coaching staff clearly has a clue. The play-calling against all of these blitzes is pretty good. We're at least doing what we can, considering our offensive line and running backs don't pick up the blitz long enough to do anything downfield. The draw to Willis was a great call (and a great run by #21 too). I think a Gilbride-led offense would have got sacked for a big loss.

Positives? I don't have genital warts. That's a positive.

What difference does it make? We can't run or pass, so who cares what play we call? WE SUCK. The next time I hear about all this talent we have on this team, I will puke. We don't have much talent at all, and we certainly don't have playmakers. As I type this, we have moved from inside our own 10 into Raider territory (thanks to penalties). But every time we have something going for us, we screw it up. Who wants to bet we have a turnover, a sack, a dropped pass or a missed field goal in the next 7 plays? HA HA...we pick up a second and 1, and the announcer has to give us a pat on the back..."There you go." It's like he thinks we are a pee-wee team, having to give any encouragement whenever something half way positive happens.

Yep, even our equipment managers suck. Not to mention the players, coaches, front office, the uniforms, and everything else.

Bledsoe throws four interceptions, Henry fumbles twice, Moulds drops five passes, the offensive line gets dominated, McGahee stays in Oakland and refuses to get on the plane while demanding a trade to the Raiders, the defense allows 42 points and 600 yards, and Lindell kicks 15 field goals (all over 40 yards). Bills win 45-42, and it's one big love fest at Two Bills Drive.

Here are two facts. 1. If the Cards win the World Series, you will be talking about it for as long as you roam this message board. So don't bash Yankee fans for bragging about their accomplishments and having a little fun with Red Sox fans. 2. If the Cards lose in the playoffs, you will be right back in the gutter, complaining about Cardinal shortcomings, and not climbing back out until they show the same promise that they have shown this year. And by the way, I was here last night to take my lumps. And just like last night's loss, today's apparent win is just one game. Last night wasn't the end of the world for the Yanks, and today won't be the end of the world for the Sox. I will say that your Cards have had a great year and I've particularly been impressed with the way they have avoided a long slump despite playing games that are all but meaningless over the last 4-6 weeks.

If he wants to reach out to inner city kids, there are other ways of doing it then sounding and acting like a complete idiot. He's supposed to be a professional sports anchor. If Dan Patrick did this, it would be just as stupid. Stuart Scott doesn't get a pass because he happens to be black. It would be one thing if he delivered the sports news and did voice-overs during the highlights and OCCASIONALLY threw in a joke. But these anchors today are more concerned with trying to be funny rather than just delivering the information. Having said all that, HOLLA ATCHA BOY. Represent.

Well, you can blame that on Rayzer, who opened his mouth way too soon and is solely responsible for last night's Yankee loss.

Who's in your avatar?

Congratulations to both of you. My wife and I (who some of you met at the Jets game last December) recently hit the 10-year mark. It's awesome to be married to your best friend.

If Gallery has a dominating performance and Mike Williams gets beat badly a couple of times and has a penalty or two, I think I'll puke.

You're suggesting that Torre not go with Rivera in a 2-1 game in the ninth inning? Sure, it didn't work out last night, but I believe Rivera has done enough to earn the trust of people who make the decisions, and people who just cheer for the Yankees. Sorry, but there is never a time when you pitch Gordon instead of Rivera in a 2-1 game in the ninth. Gordon did his job last night; Rivera had an off night. But if the same situation comes up again today, Rivera comes into the game. And BF...I agree that you have been a little quiet about the Red Birds lately. But I'm sure you're aware no one is going to remember that St. Louis finished with the best record in baseball unless they win the World Series. You won't see any Sports Illustrated hard-cover special editions for finishing with the best record in the regular season and losing in the playoffs.

Awesome. A sign of things to come for the city of Buffalo? One can hope. Way to go Bisons!
