Richard Simmons. The mystical guru likely comes from Switzerland. He probably has a variety of herbal-infused teas using herbs only found high in the Alps, near the Ricola cough drop factory. If only our players drank the stuff daily. Injury would be reduced by 40%, if not 43%. It didn't take as long as I thought to find our man! Pierre Paganini. Long time trainer for Roger Federer. http://www.worldtennismagazine.com/archives/2004

We as Bills (and Sabres) fans are paying the price for Pegula's steep learning curve as an owner. I guess you can't hold that against him though. Everyone has to start out somewhere. But it doesn't help that he appears to be the lowest information sports fan you've ever known.

The only thing worse than Rex's Monday morning Pressers are his Monday morning Pissers. Or so my sources deep inside the Bills organization tell me.

Considering Romo isn't coming to Buffalo, we are out of the playoffs for a 17th consecutive year, and we are just kicking around the same old crap Bills fans kick around at this time of year... ...can we just turn this into an Evel Knievel thread?

No. He's from New Orleans by the way.

Somewhere right now, probably in Switzerland or Austria, there is a physical fitness guru who has unorthodox but highly effective views and approaches to health, diet, and physical fitness. If he was retained by the Bills, he would lower our rate of injury by 40%, and speed our rate of recovery by 50%. The trick is finding the guy and convincing him to live in Buffalo. I imagine we are using traditional meatheads who come from the world of football and only know how to do conventional, football things. Also while on the topic: I will GUARANTEE the team has limited, effective control over player diet, if any at all. These guys are paid millions of dollars to be finely tuned machines. A whole bunch of them are not. The ones who are tend to be the special ones who take that work upon themselves. It should be consistent across the board and mandated by the team.

This photo is freaking amazing: Yes we can.

Such a Debbie Downer! Look on the bright side: compared to Evel Knievel, Romo is in pristine, showroom-new condition!

Romo ceiling > Tyrod ceiling. Neither is really who you want.

He is scouting material; not GM material.

Romo and his health risks does not lessen our chances for making the playoffs relative to Tyrod. I'd give him a shot as Tyrod is always going to have a ceiling he can't overcome.

Your criticisms of Whaley are way off base! He is a brilliant GM. I've read it here many times!

The obstacles in the way of a playoff berth for this team cannot be overcome with a mere "gut check." You forgot the part about the virgin birth to a unicorn under a rainbow during a full solar eclipse.

This is correct. The Type VII U-boat carrying the surgeon, Dr. Rottweiler, has already left Argentina and is currently headed for Boston. Correct me if I'm wrong, but it almost sounds like you are suggesting Rob Gronkowski would have been a better draft pick than Torell Troup.

Boston is a great city. The Red Sox reign supreme in that town, not the Patriots.

Hey, let Big Ben burn bridges in Pittsburgh and come here! I'll take him.

Well computers also destroyed the typewriter business. Life goes on.

Well in all fairness, EJ did set an all-time SMARTSPEED record for throwing a football through a 3 foot diameter ring at a range of 20 yards. Hit 9 in a row. How it all went south from there is a mystery. Good game tonight; Giants' six wins decided by 21 points combined!? They are good at winning close ones, like tonight.

It's that time of year again! "If we run the table, teams A, B, C, and D lose out, team E loses 4 of its next 5, Brady breaks his leg, we get 100% healthy, and a total solar eclipse occurs on the fourth Monday in November while a virgin gives birth to a unicorn, under a rainbow, we are totally in the playoffs! Get it done! Go Bills!"

I don't disagree. The idea is to entertain the fans. Seeing if a team can put it in the end zone or if the D can make a successful stand is way more interesting than a kick attempt from any distance!

Salary cap and free agency have made it difficult for true powerhouses to exist these days. An organization that really knows what it's doing without FA and without a cap can build a monolith. There is more parity these days, but we are also robbed of the mega heavyweight title bouts we used to get as well.

The kicker is often *not* the smallest guy on the field. Anyway, I like the new rule only insofar as it takes an automatic play which wasted everyone's time and turned into a "let's see what happens" kind of play, which is at least a bit more interesting. Last night Al Michaels said the longer extra points are still made 95% of the time...but it's better than it was.

I live in SE Florida and watch most Dolphins games (they are all on TV for me). My knowledge of Tannehill goes way beyond highlights. I have always liked him as a passer. As far as journeymen QBs who are not horrible but not good enough to get you very far, I put him near the top of the list. I'm being serious about that.
