Shouldn't you be studying for finals. I hope you don't have my brother for a philosophy course Bart--I am going to report you

Now the Pope does need to intervene and end the Patriots season early so Weis can get started at ND....maybe Tom Clements will have a big role in ending it......hmmmmm...I can dream can't I???

To say Charlie Weis has been offered and has accepted the ND head coaching job. They do not have confirmation from either the University or Weis. Mort just said on ESPN radio that Weis and ND are in negotiations but if the Dolphins called regarding their opening Weis would still listen. All reported FWIW....

Yushchenko looks like he has one foot in the grave in the second picture...yikes.. Poison pill election This sounds like something that could happen in a Chicago Mayor's race or Louisiana Governor's race.....wow....

The white smoke must rise from the head of Touchdown Jesus. Save us PJP...you must cross the threshold of ND hope...(Sorry for the diversion all you non-Catholics)... PJPII is the man By the way--Mort just reported on ESPN radio that there is no indication that Clements is the lead candidate for the ND Job after his interview. His sources in Buffalo have told him there was no job offer and no promise of follow-up.

TD just broke into the top 1000 times on the Santa race game.....film at 5 and 6 PM

Dead on nod. There are not a lot of holes on this team right now if we can get these three done. We have some money to invest in the offseason--and for the first time in a long time--the smartest investment is probably in extending our own guys--that's a really nice feeling. I am a little concerned about losing Pat Williams--if you can't stop the run, you are not going to have a good defense and I still have vivid memories of the time between the exit of Washington and the entrance of Adams when we were mauled in the middle...you need two hogs--not just one. Is Edwards ready to step into that role? and will Anderson be ready to be the third guy? Look at the extensions the last couple of years--we have made some good moves-- 1) Ross Tucker-3 years I think right before this season 2) Ron Edwards--another year on the cheap 3) Travis Henry--the low cap figure for next year makes him VERY attractive if the Bills decide to move him 4) Brian Moorman--great punter--good value--legendary track athlete like Ice The only misstep was Marques Sullivan and it didn't really hurt that bad.

yep I would much rather see Kelly Holcomb who hung 48 on the Bengals...... I mean "Cool Hand" Luke McCown--who threw for 277 yards last week on the Patriots..of course 160 of those yards came after the Browns went down 42-7......

Just like the French and Jerry Lewis....its a strange occurence...

Bobby Shaw is the root of all evil.... He and David Hasselhoff....can't believe they made him a hero in the spongebob movie.. David = Anti-Christ Seriously--Shaw's !@#$-ups were visible, MM had cut him before, he was competing at a position where we are deep with equal or better talent--that is not a recipe for longevity in the world of MM...

Getting hit in the back with passes on hot reads, not once, but twice, was a vivid display of a lack of preparation and concentration. GW tolerated stevestojan like this during his realm so did Wade...MM appears very unlikely to follow that path. Its a difference in styles. Surprisingly MM is probably more of a "players coach" if you measure players respecting his opinion because he spent 9 years in the league. In fact, if you analyze it, coaches that demand and expect performance and deliver consequences when performance is sub-par are often viewed more as "players coaches" than guys like GW who stand up every week and bemoan execution to the media but do nothing about it in the locker room.

This sounds like antithesis of most of the infrequent arguments between my lovely and talented wife and me... You're ignoring me... No dear I am not ignoring you....

I had kinda gotten used to the Bills not coming close to their potential .... 2000, 2003 kind of drummed that expectation into me....But I sure am glad that we are showing signs of getting out of that habit. And you are right RT--McGahee has made a huge difference.. not sure that I totally agree with 15-1---but maybe a couple of the L's would be W's which would put us in the lead in the wild card race instead of having to race like hell to get in.

This is pretty far to come from 0-4. Congrats to this team for getting its sh-- together. Who could have predicted this....there were so many times we could have packed it in...the first loss to the Pats, after the loss to the Ravens, after the Pats debacle on Sunday night... I am not big on predictions, but us making the playoffs seems plausible enough. Thanks for outlining this Ice....

Do you mean that its okay to be a little happy that we are 6-2 the last 8 games? I need someone else to validate that it's okay for me to be happy, maybe even pleased with our performance. I mean I know we suck and I should have no hope..but its really hard not to smile when an almost 400 lb d-lineman is sprinting toward the endzone with the ball and other guys on both sides of the ball are making huge plays....

Josh--you are dead on with TD...it might be Bills VP of PR Scott Berchtold and his staff though not his admin...

Let's see--if TD and MM were really honest: Mike (Orchard Park, NY): Are there any plans to add a second jumbotron or scoreboard at Ralph Wilson Stadium like in many other stadiums around the league? TD: With regard to improvements at Ralph Wilson Stadium, we look at the stadium and the surrounding area each year and try to find ways to improve it. Our goal is to always add to the game day experience for our fans and make it more enjoyable. All additions that we evaluate must be cost effective and must be something that we feel would enhance the enjoyment of the spectator at our stadium. What TD really wants to say: Hey Mike---does the word NO mean anything to you. You !@#$ing fans, all you do is want, want, want. Tell you what Mike--here's my old 15" CRT Monitor and a !@#$ing magnifying glass--now imagine its a jumbotron. Mark Maefs (Buffalo, NY): Any chance that Terrence McGee will ever get a chance to play WR? The guy is great in the open field. He seems to have good hands too. MM: No, we haven't talked about that. What MM really wants to say: Hi Mark. Terrence is already on the field about 60% of our plays...we are trying to sign him to an extension on the relative cheap and also keep him healthy for the roles where he is truly a difference maker (KR and CB)...we already have good receivers if you haven't noticed. My recommendation to you--keep smoking crack and sending me ideas--one may stick.

About.com http://football.about.com/cs/news/a/bl_power.htm Dolphins Rank: 30 (+1) Comment: Offense is looking better, but the defense has begun to struggle. Huh? 6 offensive turnovers--looking better? I don't know which I prefer plain inept (what they were early in the season) or suicidal (what they are now)....

I was sad to see him go. He could get open and was a great option near the goal line...the lack of blocking, the lack of durability and Kevin Gilbride killed him. After the first couple of years, I thought we had someone who could rival Frank Wychek -- but sadly the development never came. I wish him the best in his recovery.....what was it Hogboy used to call him? Rearsmegma....

Apparently we need to bring in Curt Schilling.....oh the pain--that hurt Grey.....

And your posting this says what about you????

Bills Game in person--always a good choice...

If he gets the offer--he is as good as gone--unfortunately. The guy has a special place in ND football lore..He won a national championship as a QB and I believe as a member of the staff....as an ND fan I am really torn--we are in such disarray, but I want this guy on the Bills staff more...

Can we bring back Spiked now????? At least he was consistent...he was bashing Drew unabashadedly even when it was not in vogue....and he had a sense of humor...
