  1. Why is it your goal to make him cry??
  2. Yep I have cable and Sunday Ticket too! Thats the only way to go if you ask me!! I hate satelite reception.
  3. Yes, those punts were quit nerve recking! Didn't know that Jauron was a "punt first" type coach! Hope it's not the case here for us this year!
  4. Buffalo Last summer TMQ's AFC preview said Bills' coaches faced "a vexing choice, whether to sacrifice the season to the education of J.P. Losman" or play veteran Kelly Holcomb and try for the postseason. Instead Buffalo did neither: The Bills started Losman for a while, then Holcomb for a while, then Losman, then Holcomb. The result was a worst-case outcome; Losman did not have his learning year and the Bills did not mount a playoff run. Departed coach Mike Mularkey wasted the 2005 Buffalo season by refusing to make up his mind about who should be under center. Compare to Marvin Lewis, who in 2004 stuck with Carson Palmer during Palmer's learning season, and in 2005 was rewarded with premium quarterbacking. Because 2005 was bungled away, Buffalo again faces the choice it faced last year: keep Losman on the field and let him struggle, or let Holcomb try to gain the team its first playoff appearance of the 21st century. After winning more than any NFL team during the 1990s, Buffalo has been one of the league's worst clubs in the new century. Maybe the football gods are simply balancing the books. Quarterback turmoil and poor offensive lines have been themes of the Bills' decline. Since Jim Kelly retired nine years ago, Buffalo has invested in the quarterback position three first-round draft picks, one second-round pick, plus third-, fourth- and fifth-round choices -- and has no clear starter to show for it. Plus, the Bills just passed on drafting Matt Leinart, arguably the most Kelly-like signal caller to leave the collegiate ranks since Kelly last taped his ankles. Yumpin yiminy. The Bills also have struggled under novice coaches. Former president Tom Donohue hired two consecutive gents with no pro or college head-coaching experience -- the tastefully named Gregg Williams, then Mularkey. Both were in over their heads. Now the Bills finally have a taskmaster with substantial head-coaching experience, and Dick Jauron is well-regarded. But there's a comparison that concerns TMQ. As this column has documented, over the last five seasons, Williams and Mularkey led the league in Preposterous Punts: punting in opposition territory, even when trailing or facing fourth-and-short. Two of many examples. Trailing New England by 10, Williams ordered the Bills to punt from the Pats' 32 on fourth-and-2; trailing San Diego by 25, Mularkey ordered a punt from the Chargers' 40. Now I review my file on Jauron and find it contains numerous entries regarding him ordering Preposterous Punts. Last year the Lions were trailing Cincinnati by 17 in the second half, facing fourth-and-1 at midfield: Jauron sent in the punter. From that play on, the Lions were clobbered. Is there one chance in a million Bill Belichick orders a punt on fourth-and-1 at midfield when down by three scores in the second half? Victories don't come in the mail, they must be seized. Buffalo gets its third consecutive coach with a weird tendency to punt the ball away in scoring position, rather than go all-out to win. Bills note No. 1: One of Marv Levy's opening moves was to give up on tackle Mike Williams, fourth overall choice in 2002 and among the worst draft busts in NFL history. A reason the Bills have descended toward the cellar is the 2002 draft -- Buffalo had the fourth overall choice plus two second-round selections, yet likely will have no 2006 starter to show for it. Bills note No. 2: With the trade of Eric Moulds to Houston, there is no one left on the Buffalo roster who played with Kelly. The last link to Buffalo's Golden Age is gone. http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/page2/story...ht&lid=tab1pos1

  10. Maybe a 2n-3rd rd pick?? Being a Bills fan, I'm Partial, and think he my fly under the radar! He could either go for 1700 and 11 TD's or bust and go 868 and 6 TD's..ya never know where this kids head is...what do ya think?? Draft with heart, or go with a Steven Jackson, Dom. Davis type?

  12. Yep..we all know that Willis wants to play in a BIG city..probably in California, Florida. He likes the limelight and attention.. NO WAY he stays here..but for his sake (financially) he better start producing some big time numbers.

  15. Last year there were several WR's who posted great numbers who weren't predicted to do so (S. Moss, Galloway, Glenn ) who do you think this year's "sleeper" picks are??? This year i'm looking at Roy Williams,(Det. new QB and coach, break-out?) Reggie Brown (Phil. #1 WR virtually an unknown) Donte Stallworth (contract year and new QB who can throw)
  16. If I get the Sunday ticket only, will it come with that??
