Maybe I'm the only one... but I love the 68 Seconds with Langston Walker vids. I would go so far as to say that I actually look forward to them each week. I wonder though, to do an "out take" version, does that mean he's concentrating more on the the game this week? The team said no funny business this week? He's too depressed? Curious.

Seems to me the league makes far more off of TV deals and advertising than ticket sales. So why don't they put a cap on ticket prices league-wide to ensure people attend the games and they all sell out, which would make the games look/sound better on TV which means more advertising. Of course, they could still charge through the nose for concessions.

I knew there was something I was missing. Hey maybe we could dehydrate the water and make it easier to ship? They'd be unpatriotic and terrorist lovin' muslims? Or smart? I'm not sure which though.

Get our tallest player and have them wear a Sasquatch suit and run across the field?

Just throwing this out there, but we pipeline gas from the gulf coast to all over the country. Why can't we pipeline water around? As a more general thought on this thread in general.. its always fun to watch people pick ideas apart. It's interesting that so many things got done in the past because people found solutions to over come and now people just find problems. Imagine someone, initially, proposing the interstate system. Imagine someone, initially, proposing we tame the Colorado river. Imagine someone proposing we walk on the moon. Imagine so many great things this country has done because we said we wanted to. It's a shame quite honestly that so much of the real American spirit is lost. If we want to get ourselves off of Foreign Oil we can. The question is, and always has been, do we really want to? Whether it be for global warming, reduction in sending money to foreign nations, getting Americans back to work, or whatever; does anyone not think an idea like this (granted one that may actually work) would be great for this country and perhaps exactly what we need. I think it'd be refreshing to see our political leaders engage in a serious discussion and then serious attempt to actually do something about the mess we're in with the economy, foreign oil dependence, and environment (forget GW, what about acid rain, smog, species extinction, etc.). It's funny how every politician for decades has talked about the same issues, but nothing ever gets done. Change. Yes we need it. Will this new administration finally do something? I doubt it. But, I'd welcome it with renewed enthusiasm. What's the worst that could happen... we get nowhere and spend a few hundred billion $ - seems like we've been there, doing that. What's the best that could happen - we rid ourselves of dependence on foreign oil while creating a new economy and direction for the next century. Not a tough choice for me.

*throws hand in air waving them wildly while running in circles* AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGHHHHHHHHHHHH! AAAAAAAAAHHH..... *runs into wall* ..aahhh *breaths a final gasp before head hits floor... murmurs* wee.. we're.. doooomed *attempts to raise hand* aaah.

I think they tried that twice last week (or was it the week before - I forget) and it still didn't work. I'll still be very surprised if Quinn doesn't have a huge breakout game giving the NFL Network Quinn highlight clips for the next 3 years. It's just the Bills' style to make the ordinary opponent look world class.

Interesting. Thanks for the update. I usually read about 95% of the posts here, but I must confess there's just been to much hatred and venom for me the last few weeks. So, I've been much more selective. Well, sorry you lost faith and good luck with the Bucs. Here's to proving you wrong.

This may have been discussed elsewhere and I missed it, but why is a Bucs fan posting on a Bills board? Seriously, I don't get it.

Agreed. And when they line up with the Fullback the TE motions to one side or the other. Every time, Lynch follows the blockers to that side only to get stuffed. It's maddening to sit here and see the entire defense within 10yards of the LOS as the Bills sit there waiting to snap the ball. No audible, not nothing. Just snap the ball give it to Lynch and watch him run into a wall of defenders. Line up and do it again. Why have they not at all thrown a single pass downfield? Who cares if it connects? Throw deep to make the safeties at least think a little. But not once in 3 weeks. Again, we all see this. It's like watching Fairchild all over again.

I would say that one of the biggest problems on offense is the treaded predictability. Sad to even say that, but it's true. What completely astounds me is that we can have this same problem. We as fans can see this; the game announcers see this; everyone sees this. It's something that's entirely and easily fixed. Yet, for some inexplicable reason, the coaches don't fix it. Why? I can give them somewhat of a temporary pass on players, for example. If a player isn't working, you have to get a new guy in, get him trained up, etc. That's a lot of work and often something you can't do mid-season. But, something like play calling or player formations?? That can be fixed in one day. Absolutely unacceptable to continue doing what you know is not working.

I agree. I commented a few weeks back that it seems they do to much pulling and stunting and crap. Just line your big ash up and knock the piss out of the guy in front of you. How hard is that?

I agree and disagree with much of your post. Agree with the bolded parts. There really is no excuse. Look no further than the Pats*; they lost arguably the best player in the league in week one and barely missed a beat. However, it's entirely possible that the injuries this year are much worse than a single player (or 2) or what we experienced this year. Schobel, McGee, Whitner, Crowell are arguably the core of the defense. Then on offense we've lost the closest thing to a viable #2 WR that we have and we've played musical Offensive line since week one. I'm not making excuses for the Oline, but one thing you never see a team do is make substitutions on the Oline; and this year we're doing it within games let alone from week to week. Not good. So, I agree. The Bills have no excuses and need to man up. However the injuries, at least to me, are becoming a serious problem.

It's when the chips are down that you often see someone's true colors. To find amusement in the Bills losing 3 straight games proves only one thing with certainty... you are no fan of this team, you are nothing more than a troll. Good day, sir.

In my defense, that was a long post with a lot of reading. Someone with ADD may only read every other sentence. *workin on skills*

Yep. I was saying, on that last play, God I hope they're gonna run PA pass to the TE. But no, they blew it.

Exactly what I was thinking. By running, you take a play away. I guess they lost confidence in Hill?

Why do they feel the constant need to talk about everything except the play on the field? Its like watching the game with a room full of chicks that are commenting on the jersey colors, some guys hair, who's dating who. Just shut it already and let me watch a game in peace.

I would agree he doesn't have the vision of a seasoned back yet. But, that's because he's not a seasoned back. Give him time and I think you'll see his vision and decisions making ability increase - similar to Trent. I think sometimes people forget how many 2nd and 3rd year players we have.

It's not about winning the opening drive, it's about winning the game. We need, disparately, to establish a more physical identity and to give Lynch more carries. You can't do that with 14 carries in a game.

Love that you pick a game that Whitner doesn't play and the defense has one it's worst games of the season, allowing higher than average running and passing, to use as the evidence to declare him bust. Also, love that you bash Lynch a second year player for not playing well, but give Trent a pass given that this was one of Trent's worst performances of his career. Good analysis.

Have you seen any of Lynch's runs? He does that every single time he touches the ball. The number of times he's turned a 2-3 yard loss into a 3-4 yard game is unbelievable.

I think the poster above you just did that. Really not much more to say about their play of late.

I'd love to see the Bills start with 5 or 6 consecutive runs next week as well.

I'll nominate Bill in NYC for Oline Coach. Just please, don't let him in the War Room on Draft day.
