What do the dolphin cheerleaders put behind their ears to attract men? Their ankles!

I guess the memory of that fateful kick is just going to be an essential part of Bills lore for all time. We can get sick over it (as we all have) or just deal with it and move on.

Ssound pretty good to me as well. If we had kept it up all game we'd have won.

I'm looking at my baseball autographed by Buck O'Neil and Butch McCord. Gonna give it to my grandson someday.

A good tight end would make a major difference. Not as much a quality offensive lineman who can pass block, mind you...but having Jason Whitten would have given us a nice additional option.

Team of Rivals by Doris Kearns Goodwin. Nice book about Lincoln and his cabinet.

You know the problem is that the qb gets NO time to find an open receiver. The coach has to design a game plan that relies on NO pass protection. Should we blame the receivers because they can't get open in the second or two between the time the qb takes the snap and he's sacked? I don't think so. It all boils to one thing. No pass protection.

makes you wonder about those arguing to replace losman. Would your rather see Nall or Holcomb getting knocked on their respective asses? Doesn't take much to figure out where our offensive problems are. The fat guys up front.

I guess it is time to risk the season and throw JP into overdrive. He can use his scrambling skills and what experience has gained so far to show what he can do from here on out. I am still hopeful he is good, but at this stage there is only one way to find out. I say unleash him for the rest of the season and if he doesn't cut it we can go in another direction. I hate thinking like this...but if he doesn't cut it our draft selection should get considerably better.

I'm being sarcastic. I think gypsies are real people...and I spent a good part of this summer in Kazakhstan, and think they are real people to. I actually even think Jews are real people as well. If I posit that they are all bigots, prostitutes and criminals (as the film does) I think the "what's wrong with you" would be applicable. I find the film disturbing. It objectifies people in the same way that fascists did some years ago...with rather unpleasant results for everyone.

overly sensitive Talk about overly sensitive. Hell they weren't even identified as Romanians. Cohen couldn't find a place bad enough in Kazakhstan (oh...and the biggest synagouge in Central Asia is in Almaty, Kazakhstan....so the "running of the jew" series might not have been so funny there.) Like...they're gypsies..its not like they were real people or anything!

I like the idea of getting offensive linemen, for sure. Levi Brown...didn't he sing with the four tops?

I suspect you are right, and we will be looking at emphasizing the running game. There isn't a Jim Kelly out there right now, and Levy and Jauron know what a good solid running game can do. Once that is in place, the passing game becomes much more feasible. Right now we are running because we can't pass block. Next year we will be running because it is the main part of an offensive plan that will open up our passing game.

QFT...the guy is quite the self promoter.

Borat? or the guy who punched him out?

borat gets an unexpected response

Minnesota has done pretty well drafting linemen the last few years. I wouldn't get all excited by a 4-5 record in the ninth game of the season. They won 9 last year and have done fine with the philosophy. The fact is we have NO pass protection right now and it doesn't matter if we had Jim Kelly at qb OJ at running back and Andre at receiver...without an offensive line we aren't going anywhere.

The O-line is that bad, and actually it IS pretty much all on them. That being said, I'm not impressed positively or negatively with Losman, in that we haven't seen much of his play this year. I guess we are out of the playoff picture about now, so let's see what he can do, even with no pass protection. If we had won on Sunday and were still a longshot playoff hope, I'd suggest DJ keep doing what he did...minimize our pass protection deficiencies and rely on the running game and a running clock to maximize our opportunities. Doesn't matter so much now, so let's see what JP has.

Well put. I agree with the exception that I could see us addressing the offensive line this season and being competitive next season. I'm hoping in this that JP develops and I'm pretty satisfied that willis and a-train will be good runners. Maybe I'm overly optimistic, but I think on the whole DJ and ML have done a very good job to date. A stud free agent, a couple of good draft picks, and our line problem will be solved. This is a painful season, but I see a light at the end of the tunnel, to coin a phrase!

Because DJ wisely put two tight ends in to help with pass protection. unfortunately, one of the tight ends failed to block at a crucial moment (and I don't understand why DJ let JP do a seven step drop when the two step itself was precarious for most of the game.)

It was a bizarre call, no question. The colts were salivating to sack, the line (reinforced by the tight ends) was giving jp a two step drop...and all we needed was a field goal. Oh well...live and learn.

yeah...in this case it was the tight end who whiffed on his block and was standing there with his head up his ass as the qb was sacked. I don't think passing to him would have done much.

Wouldn't it be nice to have a line that would let our quarterback make plays? Geez..week after week its the same !@#$ing thing.

This should be an interesting lawsuit.

I second that opinion. Read it as a senior in high school and re-read it the day I left Vietnam after flying 130 some missions. The second reading was rather profound.
