Game 15 of that season? It was a howling gale punctuated by sheets of rain, yet Flutie still managed to go 22-35 for 212 yards with no INTs. Jonathan Linton fumbled the ball twice. Bledsoe was 10-21 for 101 yards, partly because of the elements.
Meaning before his final 10-10 he was 12-25 against a terrible team, but that is not the entire point. You should be forced to watch the entire second half of the season if you are trying to make the case that somehow Flutie had not been figured out and stifled by the entire league.
I get that people want to think that we somehow robbed ourselves, no pun intended, of some sort of title but Flutie was terrible. Sorry.

Reality was uglier than those ugly stats.

Well that was a crappy outcome....
Ramage said the attack was "pretty unpleasant," and the woman was ordered to pay $40 in dry cleaning costs.
"I'm not physically intimidated. I know I won't suffer any serious injury but the mental anguish with having to deal with the encounter, that's what it's really all about," Ramage said.
A: $40 to clean a pink and chartreuse spandex shirt that Britney Spears thinks is too feminine to wear?
2: 70 years or so ago British men were going into war and yesterday we commemorated them. They marched into the teeth of Hitler's wrath; often to their death. Today this guy is proud to not be PHYSICALLY INTIMIDATED by a 75 YEAR OLD WOMAN WITH DOG POOP but readily admits to having mental anguish.
C: Do you know when this guy will realize that an old woman with dog poop is not the worst he has to fear?
When his head is rolling down a flight of stairs, that's when.

I'm not deflecting any blame from anyone. Flutie did well as the Bills QB. Certainly a better win/loss record than anyone else since--not even close. I simply asked what is the reason for hating the guy. I still haven't heard any evidence that he was a bad guy. I'm a fan of his because he played with a ton of heart and seemed to bring out the best in his teammates. Those couple years were fun for me as a Bills fan. It's been kind of miserable since that time.
They did not just go to Johnson for no reason. Flutie was God awful brutal the entire second half of that season and the games the Bills won what they won in spite of him.
One game in particular was at NE when the Bills won in overtime against a terrible NE team. Dougie completed something like 10 passes in a row in OT and was the hero.................despite single handedly losing the game 15 times over in regulation and OT only to be bailed out by Adam Vinatieri of all people.
To say like some have that the Bills were SB bound that year is a joke. A warm body at QB was a better option than Flutie and only the people that have memory failure or Flutie syndrome. The Bills and Titans were both very good that year but with Flutie in there the game would have been a blowout in favor of Tenn. RJ played ok. Flutie had not been "ok" at all for a long time before that. What made the Bills that year was the defense.

If the person is going to leave the car in park, why not sit the child on the front seat while starting the car, or even just lean in to start it while holding the child's hand? Like others have said, it only takes a split second for something very bad to happen.

go ahead put your position on record.
Where do you stand on;
The 2nd amendment and gun control?
On the second amendment I am in total agreement. I think we create far too many idols and need to watch out for things like that. Whether it is a golden calf, a movie star or a football team, these things need to be seen for what they are, not worshiped. Whether liberal or conservative, we are all Bills fans and luckily there has not been too much there to idolize lately but when they get good again we should all remember this thread.
I think the gun control question could have been its own separate question and don't see the tie in. In short, I am not in favor of gun control because it doesn't work.
Obamacare / healthcare?
I would be all for it but commie stuff like this just plain never works.
The current tax code and IRS?
I think it should be simplified. When you make the $$$$$ that I make you can afford a network of accountants, lawyers, ladies and campaign donors to save you a billion here or a billion there, but still some people can't do that and it is a pain in the neck. The more money I make, the more I pay so why not let me make money instead of using my time to hire these people to save me a few billion? This way the government gets more money too.
War on drugs / legalization of drugs?
Drugs are for losers and a war on them would be great but government stinks at everything except real wars so they should privatize the war on drugs and authorize people to beat the crap out of pot heads for fun. This would make people fear smoking pot like they should and they would refrain. This in turn would stop the gateways into stronger drugs and eliminate annoying hippies.
Gay marriage?
Is this one of those oxycontins? Gay means happy right? Happy marriage? I am all for it but am also all for flapping my arms and flying to the moon. Good luck.
Social security / private social security?
I have as much or more respect for old people than anyone but frankly the last thing I need to hear about is glorified begging for money from them. They will only lose it on lotto anyway.
Government sanctioned spy programs on US citizens?
This is not cool unless someone is doing something wrong.
Should congress have to pass a budget, and should it be balanced?
Duh.
How big should government be? How important are personal individual freedoms?
Boring question. I will skip it.
Should the US have an official religion, give any religion preference, or outlaw any religious element.
It should not be an official religion but there should be an election every 4 years to see which is the preferred religion. It should be two years separated from the prez election. This way if we elect a Mormon for example like we did with Obama and would have even if it was Romney we can prefer Christianity or Jewishness as a check and balance.
Should the US have an official language?
I don't like having to press 1 for English for example but people can talk whatever way they want. I think in the long run all languages will merge. Look at it this way: 15 years ago could you walk into a grocery store and buy a tortilla for example? That is not even an English word but might as well be. Same thing for "Chow Main" or "Swedish Meatballs". Everyone should lighten up and in a few generations it will be just one language anyway.
Voter ID laws? Should you have to prove who you are? Who should be eligible to vote?
They should see who you voted for in the past. You lose points for picking crappy candidates. When you lose enough points, no more voting because you have bad judgement.
Political office term limits?
Only if you are a member of a political party like Republican or Democrat.
Any additional comments, categories to discuss? Feel free to add
I don't like it when there are leaves all over the place like in October and November. Many places ban burning leaves due to global warming and I get that. But global warming is really due to cow farts but cows sometimes eat leaves. Why not take all the leaves off the trees in mid September and hide them from cows?

The song was a nice honor. It is really a shame the singer turned into an Islamic terrorist like that.

Incognito said mean things about his mother, and Martin didn't want to go to strip clubs, but he was afraid to tell him. And then Martin sucked, and nobody wanted to sit with him. And then RI had a sign in his locker that was HATEFUL towards rookies. And then Martin was soft-spoken, but RI was way too loud.
Then Martin found out how football players treat guys that should be cut, but are kept around because they were high picks.
Then Martin talked to the boss, and the boss said "what? Get outta here, we all know Richie's a loudmouth, just slug him one for all of us. You have my permission."
Then Martin didn't want to go to practice, but instead went to get a doctor's excuse. Then the press got some of the story, and they were very excited because they figured they would all meet their quota of "hits' rather easily this week.
Then we got to see what a d-bag Incognito really is, and how much his teammates love him. And hate him. Then every single person in the league, and out of the league, and at home, and at work, wanted to tell everybody about a time they were bullied.
Then we all got a chance to act surprised that the NFL is filled with guys raging and rolling on PED's and painkillers, who speak and act violently and erratically, and that would likely be in jail if they weren't making multiple millions of dollars knocking into each other.
Then Odin Lloyd was in a ditch and Pouncey was wearing a "free Aaron" hat. Then Pouncey was discovered to be part of some really bad stuff. Then every Internet tough guy in the world acts like nothing would bother them. Okey dokey.
-
Hypothetical:
What if it isn't really Incognito that Martin fears? What would all of these tough guys do if they were Martin and MIKE POUNCEY threatened to kill him and then made some reference to his buddy Hernandez?
The point is that nobody knows exactly what is going on here so criticizing Martin is sort of stupid.

Atlanta. The worst.

You have to go back to Eisenhower to find a President that was generally liked and respected by most people ( if there are any Eisenhower haters have your say maybe I missed you) before Eisenhower you have to go back to Theodore Roosevelt (again I may have just missed Teddy Roosevelt haters) so in the 100+ years after Teddy maybe one President would get the approval of most people, maybe.
We are all too young for Teddy so forget that but even though I am too young I can promise you that many people disliked Ike. They did a whole episode of Happy Days about it. I can't remember what Fonzie thought.
Anyway, Ike was as bald as a cue ball which means many people had no trust in him. Bald people are reputed to be sneaky and evil. Most stereotypes have a basis in reality. I have to say there are some bald people I like such as Gene Frenkle but I have found most to be untrustworthy.

Given the title I thought this thread would be about the B word slapping Iran is given the Obama administration.

War on drugs! If you support it this is where it leads...right up the butt!
I didn't realize you supported it.

Too bad the guy didn't stop at the stop sign and/or properly wipe his butt.

If the Sabres were a turd, last night would have been the dingleberry. Yeah, they won... But still the dingleberry.
Official Urban Dictionary definition:
"dingleberry
A delinquent partial turd which grasps anal shrubery causing brownish crust to accumulate in ones boxers.
My wife tells me that I need to wipe my ass better because my dingleberries are making my underware (sic) a nasty mess, however I like the idea of her down in the basement doing laundry and cleaning up my foul nasty underware (sic)."
I don't get it.

I'm not offended by the write ins, but, if judges aren't voted in that leaves their appointment up to???
I think John Roberts because he is like the CEO of courts.

They can start by only allowing players from mixed races, so a player with ancestors from Europe (white), Asia (oriental), Africa (black), Central America (hispanic), and North America (redskin) would be a gold mine.
Golf tried that and it went great for a while but then the hookers ruined it.

You have access to privacy screens while you fill out your ballot. There's an ample opportunity to snap photos then. Plus the guy who did this is on twitter and is acting as if he submitted the ballot, so I don't think there's any reason to think he didn't.
Also, even if there weren't privacy screens, it's perfectly legal to take a picture of your ballot just like it's perfectly legal to write in whomever you want.
Ok. Is it also possible to take a picture of a ballot and not cast it?

Electing judges is a good thing. Voting for one of them just validates the back room deals made to have them each run on both tickets. That's what's really a joke.
If you're saying that judges should be appointed, who should appoint them? Elected officials? Who are influenced by special interest groups? Well, that's what we've already got.

I also don't get the outrage over a guy wasting a ballot for the sake of a joke. Most people don't even vote, and most of those who do are seriously uninformed. If one guy wasting his vote is enough to get someone riled up, I'd have to image that same person probably can't sleep at night knowing how few people are truly actively participating in the process.
How do all these geniuses know this ballot was actually cast? Wouldn't it be in the machine? The guy probably took a picture of it as a joke and either didn't vote at all or went up and asked for a new blank.
The Curse of Flutie?

RJ played better in the Tenn game than Flutie played the second half of the season. Personally, I don't think you can count the Indy game where RJ lit it up. It was an almost meaningless game.
You can say it was unfair and sad to deny poor little Dougie his chance at glory and maybe it was unfair, but in reality it wasn't a chance. He had no chance because he was what was holding the team back. If Johnson had been playing and sucking and they switched to Flutie, less people would have cried but the result would have been the same, QB being the weak link.
