Here in the stands I want a w bad! Contradictory to all that is good for them long term I don't care. Lets go buffalo!

I warned against exactly this. Bowl games are terrible to rate prospects in due to the length of time betweent this and the teams last games. Add in inclement weather and its a recipe for a whole bunch of bad throws and people discounting entire careers bc they saw one game.

I hope he does. I will def be rooting for it and for him. Love the bravado he brings and the joy he appears to have for Buffalo and the Bills.

from your link: Boger said he didn't feel the bump was enough to warrant an ejection because it ''wasn't of a malicious nature.'' That quote is from the ref who was bumped. Have you ever seen Brady yell at an official? How many years in the league does he have?

Believe me I don't want to type this but Fitz threw a game ending pick in at least 3 of those to seal the w. Cam has been a victim of driving down for scores but his D letting them down. Your point stands but it is different imo.

Interesting, where are you located? I thought it was a national brand but if you are outside of the U.S. then that doesn't really help...

I know you want home made but Don Peppino is the end all be all for Pizza Sauce. It's cheap, readily available, and delicious. If you're dead set on making your own I would definitely make it and try it the night before or so just to make sure as too much garlic is easy to do and can ruin sauce really fast. Also never heard of the apple sauce and I think it's interesting but I won't probably try it because well DON PEPPINO.

While I don't disagree with you I don't really agree with you. Snow and cold can wreak havoc on a passing game especially if it's windy out. I just know a lot of people haven't seen Nassib/Smith play much and this might not be the game for them to judge them on. It will be great to see both of them play in some "Buffalo weather" but it shouldn't be the end all be all that it will for some. Add to the fact that it is a bowl game way after their last games and I already am annoyed by the "yeah I saw him once and he did x" crowd. Just want to preempt that a bit SU torched a ranked WVU team last year and I came away really unimpressed with Smith, specifically his sideline demeanor. I am interested to see how he responds in this game. However the snow and the fact that this bowl game will be played a full 5 weeks after SU last suited up make me realize not to much can be gleaned from this game.

He doesn't want it that bad? What in the world?!?! Link quote from article: That type of attitude is appreciated by his teammates. Newton's work ethic, not his skills, helped quickly win over his teammates. Where do you gather that he doesn't have any work ethic from? Colts were nowhere near as bad as the #1 pick last year. The tank job was painfully obvious as well as 8 of there 9 wins being by less than a td which means the team has a lot of "luck." As for the RG3 who would you rather have develop a qb - Ron Riviera or Mike Shanahan? They also didn't have the #1 pick last year and finished 5-11 compared to the 2-14 team Cam joined. I don't want to get into a who's better Cam or RG3 debate bc I believe RG3 is but Cam is a beast on the field. He isn't the reason the Panthers are terrible this year. (btw 7 of their 9 losses are by less than a td this year which implies some unluckiness)

How much does it cost to park in the lot?

This game is going to be tough on both qbs and it has nothing to do with the defenses they will face. Forecast calls for 2-4 inches of snow and the game will be played outdoors. This won't be the best game to judge either of their talent on but it will be nice to see how they handle the challenge.

That's what I said... "Lomas should have just whooped his a** in practice and been done with it." Although it isn't always that easy. I've played on a team where the "star" player wasn't that good and was a complete d-bag. The only thing he had going for him was the coach loved him. It didn't matter that myself (a captain on the team) and others approached our coach. He told us to work it out on our own - so we never passed him the ball and got ourselves in trouble. Again I need to reiterate that if his intent was to get Mitchell injured I don't and can't condone it. If it was to let him take a good lick and try to get him on the same page as the rest of the team I'm okay with it .

I know I'm in the extreme minority here but I think I may know what Brown was saying. Mitchell was a d-bag and Brown was trying to teach him that it took all of them to be successful. Mitchell needed the o-line to keep him clean and upright and didn't respect the players performing that task FOR him. At least I hope. If he did indeed do it to get him hurt and it didn't come out right then I can't condone the behavior. Lomas should have just whooped his a** in practice and been done with it. I just can't imagine he would be dumb enough to mean what he said. Actually I take that back I hope he isn't dumb enough to actually mean what he said.

So true and I think the Arkansas game was the perfect example of that. He was lights out and they needed that to pull out the w.

I agree with this 10000%. I was behind Gailey through some of this season but HIS mental mistakes were to many for the team to overcome. Off the cuff (and with no factual evidence to back this up) I would say he has blown more games in his 3 years than Belicheat has in his career.

I think this may explain the Thurman tweet. I can't say I'm Ecstatic but I'm happy about this move. Getting Kelly into the front office can only help if/when he has an ownership group ready to buy. Let's hope we can pinpoint this move as THE move that got the Bills turned around!

it's hard to win in the NFL..... Seriously though it is. I know skeletor gets killed for this quote but he was right. The difference between all of the teams in the middle is very small. The Titans, Colts, and 2nd Pats game all could have gone either way and came right down to the end. Look no further than the Colts. 9 of their 10 wins are by a td or less. The margin of error in the NFL is very small.

I did forget about Fair and he is a hustler however all of the players that you mentioned don't have elite skills. Triche (again I love him and think he is the most clutch player on the team) I think gets put on the bench due to a lack of hustle. These are just my views on the team though. As for Southerland I thought he was only a Junior or had redshirted but I am wrong. For some reason the SU website has him listed as a JR. but this is his 4th year. As for his "histrionics" I think the refs were a bit quick with the whistle at the end of the game. The fouls right before against Triche the cameras caught Boeheim yelling to the ref "you're calling fouls before they happen" and I think Southerland paid the price for it next time down the court. Both calls were questioned by the announcers and ticky-tac at best. I don't think these 2 calls were the reason for the loss though. Poor free throw shooting was the #1 cause to me. I just don't see a Waiters on this team or even a Kris Joseph (pre-concussion). MCW has a lot of growing to do between now and March and he could potentially become that player.

wow I was just going to post this same thing... fell into some free tickets and wanted to get the hammers lot experience.

Sorry Hammersticks I just don't see it this year. I see a lazy bunch of players with no leader and most painful very little fire. Cuse nevers loses in MSG and missed free throws cost them big but I just don't see a player with the ability to step up. MCW looks like he wants to but hasn't proven reliable yet. I see a sweet 16 team but I don't know about a final 4 squad... yet. I like your point of Boeheim working with the teams as the season progresses but I think the Big East will be a rude awakening for some of these guys. Christmas and Coleman strike me as a bit soft. Triche (who I love) gets sent to the bench for long stretches for some reason. MCW has a lot of growing up to do (had to laugh at the crowd chanting Lord and Taylor everytime he touched the ball). Cooney is streaky at best and over his head at worst. Southerland appears to be the real deal but I don't know how high his ceiling is. Keita is a player with fire and hustle but not a ton of skill (love this guy too). I just don't see a team that can win it all this year. Hope I'm wrong though!

Fair enough I guess... I just don't see it. RG3 was a Heisman winner that beat out "once in a generation qb prospect" Luck. I like Smith but I don't think he will come in and set the league on fire like RG3 did. My basis for that is simply from watching the 2 play. RG3 was the best player on the field every time he stepped on the field and led Baylor of all schools to a win over OU (the first in Baylor school history). RG3 also would have been the consensus #1 pick had Luck not been in the draft. Smith as a qb may not go #1 which is a glaring indictment of what pro scouts think of him. Again I like Smith and would like to see him on the Bills but I still think saying he is more NFL ready than RG3 is well just not true and I don't think there are many that would agree with your assessment.

As per the bolded... by who and how? That is a borderline ridiculous statement that I really would love to hear your clarification of.

This topic is very frustrating for 2 reasons 1: Geno Smith isn't RG3. Yes they are both black but that is about it. Geno Smith is a pure pocket passer he doesn't run and make plays with his feet. 2: Kyle Shanahan isn't Mike Shanahan. Yes they are both named Shanahan and neither has had success without an elite qb. Kyle was to be run out of town last year when John Beck and Rex Grossman were his qbs. I do not want Kyle Shanahan who probably wouldn't be an oc without his dad being the coach (his first break was with the Texans - Kubiak got started under Mike). I just don't see him as a great coach (yet)

We don't but chan sees him everyday in practice. It's not like he has no idea what he has with tjax.
