I received mine yesterday, but it was only $65! I got ripped off $10, I'm suing those b#$%#@&$!!!!

Well, she is a country singer after all: "Stand by your man"

I think Bon Jovi is trying to put together a group to buy them and move them to Toronto.

Well, this is not totally true, they did try and they thought they had. Consider these things . . . First, they have the presupposition or assumption that its easy to make a tackle a guard. That has proven to not be the case. With this in mind, they drafted two tackles in the last draft, and for good measure, a former All-American guard. Moreover, the coaching staff (Marrone) declared that they like the young guy back-ups, mostly free agent signings and/or practice squad raids, they had coming back from last year. The implication was, at least one of them was ready to compete for a starting job. And, Chris Hairston, whom had been a starter at two tackle positions, was also returning. So, if you are viewing it all through the misguided perspective of the bad assumption stated in first point, then indeed, we have the talent, its just a matter of figuring out who goes where. Right? So, all that leads to three conclusions: The young "talent" that was leftover from last season, really wasn't that talented. It must not be that easy to move tackles to the guard position. Consider three pieces of evidence: 1) how bad Pears has been, 2) but neither Kojo, Hairston, or 3) anyone eles has been able to replace him. Or. maybe it is easy, but the before mentioned players / tackles (and leftovers) just aren't that good, whether playing tackle or guard; in which case, now we have a "personnel evaluation" problem. Or, maybe our line coaching, including the head coach whose area of expertise is line coaching, is just not very good. My conclusion, all of the above (1, 2, 3, & 4). Have we tried? Yes! But, when you start with bad assumptions in your experimentations, you usually never recover from that. Or, to quote a well placed NFL coach whom we are all familiar with: "don't confuse effort with results, obviously."

why do you have that avatar pic? Every time i see it I shutter.

Thanks much, I think it confirms what we suspected and what we saw. However, I do have one issue: You based it on 17 pass plays, well, Orton was sacked four times, and scrambled at least one time for positive yards. Those are pass plays by design, and also pass plays that weren't executed. "Obviously" something broke down on those plays, they should be included in the analysis as well.

can Lee Smith play guard ???

A "high motor guy"

Cut Mike Williams, what did he do? This game was a bit frustrating to watch until we finally got the Chandler touchdown late in the 3rd—then a started to relax. But, a win is a win. We didn't score as many points as we would like off the 6 turnovers (20), but on the good side, we did score 23 points on regular possession opportunities. I know the running game was, well not impressive, but give them credit for grinding out a couple of first downs at the end when all 15 people still in the stadium knew they were going to be running it. Boobie & BBrown ground out some tough yards and the opine had some push. It became obvious today that Pears just isn't very good, as Urbik went unnoticed, which is real progress at that position. I'm curious to see what his rating is in his first game back. And any chance that Cyril R (his natural position) or Kojo, or someone, are starting at RG after the bye week? Hard to tell if the defensive backfield played as well as the turnovers and score indicated, or was it just that the Jets were that bad (probably a bit of both, or what came first: chicken or the egg?)? Nonetheless, it was an outstanding day for them—their best game of the season. And here is my contribution to the lyrics for the day: You can't always get what you want You can't always get what you want You can't always get what you want (Like easy points after turnovers) But if you try sometimes well you might find You get what you need (Like a WIN in NJ in late October) GO BILLS!!!

Amen! These guys played great today. and played a lot. They deserve the nod. Arguably the best starting d-line in the league, and maybe the best 2nd unit in the league?

Now if we can find a replacement for Pears

You know, if I was the Bills OC, I wouldn't try to run over the right guard

Finally!

Let Rico throw, how about to that #14 guy, he's not bad?

Best line of the day!

Again, our OC is an idiot! He has nonsense of the flow of the game.

The offensive coordinator ought to be fired on that call alone

yeah, you know how we hate winners around here.

A guy who use to play for the Bills

When I saw the title, I was so hopeful .... Don't tease like this.

Hoosiers! and nothing wrong with that

You would think our o-line would improve facing these guys everyday they practice, but evidently, that is not so. Charles is looking like a worthy replacement

for those of out of the Buffalo TV market, do you know where it will be carried?

Are you calling Mark Twain "moronic"? Come on man, that is one of the greatest axioms of all-time!
