  1. Ranked 32nd? Man, they are wacked, they are no worse than 31st!!

     

    Seriously though, being ranked anywhere from 20 on down pretty much tells the story. This team is awful right now and they should be ranked no higher than 30th. They have done nothing to warrant an even respectable ranking this year. Sure, they lost in the last seconds at home in their home opener which was their best game of the year. Decent teams don't lose those games. Since then, show one thing that they've done that would even qualify them as a respectable team? The only thing that this team has done right this year is sell out all of its home games and that won't last another one. Until the Bills do something impressive, they deserve being the doormat of the NFL!

  2. All those people who were on the plane that "supposedly" hit the pentagon will be very pleased to hear this news.  Now they can stop being dead, and start living again now that it's been revealed by crackpot interenet conspiracy theorists that a plane never hit the pentagon.

    That was exactly my first thought when I saw this, "ok, so what about the people that were on the flight?" Like I said though, it's just interesting but I don't agree with any of it at all.

  3. Personally, I don't care who starts at Running Back for Buffalo, as long as they move the ball. With that said, the offensive (actually has two meanings here) problems that the Bills have been hobbled with this year, last year and even the year before have nothing to do with who is carrying the rock!! Just in case you might have forgotten, TH was the one who piled up some pretty impressive numbers last year with a line that actually is worse than this years. Even going back a couple years, the offensive line was fairly weak and TH still was able to put up over 1200 yards on the ground. I'm not saying that Travis should still be the starter on this team, I'm just pointing out the facts that it isn't Henry's fault that the offense is awful.

    If any one move was being made on the team that actually deserves serious board time in here, it should be the move that JP is the new quarterback and Drew is moving to 3rd string. DB, IMO, single handedly has taken this team from being a team rebuilding, to a team with so much potential, to a team that just plain sucks!!!!!! I've always given Drew the benefit of the doubt but after every game this year, I look back and think, anyone could have done that, he is nothing special so why is he even here. It's time for change and it should be at the QB position first and foremost!!

  4. I have to say AMEN to that too. Happy Birthday by the way. I say it's time to start JP, he obviously couldn't do any worse than what DB did yesterday. I have always backed Bledsoe and thought that it wouldn't be wise to use Matthews and it might be to early for JP but the hell with that thinking, bench Bledsoe now before he ruins things completely!!

  5. Amen.

     

    Don't get me wrong, Willis had a good game but now is not the time to trade depth at any one position just because someone new to the lineup played well. This is why TD drafted WM, to add depth in case of an injury. Basically the same situation with McGee for Vincent, Price for Jennings, Tucker for Teague and so on. You don't trade depth just because you "think" that your depth is worth something to someone else. It doesn't work that way. If, say the Bills were to trade Travis today for a draft pick and WM's knee goes out in the first quarter next week against Baltimore, would you feel comfortable with Joe Burns and Shaud Williams as legitimate starters in the for the rest of the season???

  6. He might try to play tonight since the game is at home. He didn't play in Tampa Friday night with the hamstring and it's possible they were giving him rest so he could play tonight.

     

    I'm not much of a basketball fan but since I live in Orlando and the Magic are the only "professional" sports team in town, I've been following them a little bit. I'm looking forward to the games against the Heat this year since I think the Magic actually are going to have a pretty damn good team and should give Shaq and the Heat a run for the division.

  7. The last time I had a DTV installer out when I moved, they told me that there is a $75 charge for any line that they have to install with a fish (running a line from the attic down an interior wall). If you are having them install a DVR or multiple lines, grease the installer with a few bucks and ask for an 8 way multiswitch instead of the standard 4, just in case you wish to expand into other rooms down the line. In discussing this with a few friends that have DTV, they all have worked out "deals" with the installer for additional lines installed. Just have some cash around for them and tell them what you would like.

  8. Sorry for the moronic comment, I didn't catch the sarcasm either. There are so many posters in here that would say something like this and mean it that I just thought you were one of them Bossman, sorry. By the way, if anyone does think that the Bills should trade either of their running backs now, they are moronic.

  9. The recurring problem with the Bills D is that they tend to leave the TE open a lot. How many games now do you see the opposing TE running wide open across or down the field without anyone even chasing him. It's not the the TE is beating anyone in particular, there just doesn't seem that anyone even has coverage on him. The question is, does the Bills D require the safety to check the TE first at the line and try to assess if he is going into a pattern then have the safety drop into coverage as help to the corners or is there possibly a miscommunication as to reads between the safety and LB? After Wire's comments following the New England game, is it possible that the safeties have to many check/reads at the line and get confused as to which coverage to be in? Also, the don't seem to be in on the play to often in run support and I'm thinking that they are just too confused on where to be at any given time.

  10. I don't think that there is or was a problem at all with Lindell's leg strength. Yesterday's conditions easily could have assisted Lindell's kickoffs into the end zone but why would you want to do that when the wind is blowing and swirling. My thought and obviously the coaches thought was to make the Dolphins attempt to catch the ball and return it rather than give them a free play without fielding the ball. The was the wind was moving pass attempts around, it must have played havoc on the returners yesterday. Just my thought on this.

  11. Both Priceline and Hotwire are great ways for booking hotels and cars. I'm not sold on booking a flight only because you aren't guaranteed times with those. I don't have a preference either way but I have used both and find them more than accomodating. Priceline tends to give you a little more bang for your buck, ie: 3 star is at least a better than average 3 star, if not 4 star. Hotwire narrows down the locations better than Priceline. I dont think I will ever book through the hotel sites again unless I have to be in one particular location. Hotiwre and Priceline are the way to go. I have never heard of anyone that I know, that uses them, disappointed with either.

    I love the Buffalo/Miami games in late November and December with temps in the 20's and snow on the ground but sometimes a change of pace is nice, especially for the Bills traveling down to Miami in December. Here's what they might expect:

  13. Too many posters lately have been ordering others what NOT to complain about. Reminder....the Bills, a team not without talent, are 0-4. There will be complaints, some will even be about teflon heros.

     

    As for Henry, even I, as a consistent critic of his, will not question his toughness. He has proven that he will play hurt, and SHOULD come off the field when he is unable to help the team because he is injured.

     

    That said, there are far more things that a rb must do besides run. Travis has not done ANY of these things well in 04, thus the criticism.

    I do agree to an extent that TH should be criticized for his lack of blocking but it seems to me that on a few occasions, the decision on which of the oncoming blockers to block has baffled him. The point is, the line isn't blocking anyone and when they do, they seem to be blocking the wrong ones. I might be incorrect in this but, the line is supposed to pick up the interior rushers first then concentrate to the outside whereas the RB's are told to look outside first since that is supposedly where the free rush should be coming from. Lately, the Bills have been letting rushers penetrate up the middle and the backs seem to be looking outside. Maybe I'm mistaken but my guess is that the left hand doesn't know what the right is doing here. I'm not defending TH here, I know that his blocking skills are mediocre at best but I don't think he should be receiving the criticism that's being leveled on him.

  14. I really can't discount "Angry Man's" argument, he makes all good points. I guess everyone really should stop complaining about TH and if you have to complain, B word and moan about the poor blocking up front. Put TH on most any other team in the league and he might actually put some great numbers up, not that he hasn't done that already with a very average at best, line in Buffalo!!
