Typical TBD Guy

In the short term, I'd say this is VERY good for Buffalo. Indy plays NE at home this week and should now have even more motivation to win. Long term, it's largely irrelevant. Too many variables between now and week 17. Tenny has a 4 game lead in their division with 9 games left, so they will probably win their division. I expect Indy to be fighting for a wild card spot as they get healthier. Buffalo, of course, needs to take care of their own games first. I could see us winning the division, and I could see us just as easily missing the playoffs. Take a look: 1. Tenn: 7-0 2. Pitt: 5-2 3. NE: 5-2 4. Denver: 4-3 5. Buff: 5-2 6. Balt: 4-3 ------- 7. NYJ: 4-3 8-16. AFC teams with 4 or more losses Things are obviously pretty tight right now...

I'm surprised the following "dismal science" scholars at PPP haven't yet offered their nuggets of wisdom in this thread: Molson Golden ExiledinIllinois justnzane pbills PastaJoe Johnny Coli blzrul elegantellioteffen Maybe they're all waiting for Andrew Leonard to post his Keynesian talking points spin on this seemingly indefensible economic plan?

And who did Stew Barber work for?! Ralph friggin cheapskate Wilson. Ralph may have had a dramatic change of heart throughout the 90's and the TD era, but any Buffalo Bills historian would agree that Ralph has been excessively frugal for the majority of his reign. 1967-1986 was a rough two decades of Bills football, but it didn't have to be as bad as it was if Uncle Scrooge had opened up his wallet for some talent.

I was kind of hoping Harrison's career would end as a quadriplegic, but this will suffice.

How about Bryan Scott? Justin Jenkins? Copeland Bryan? Pick one. Either could have been stored on the PS. I would think that a starting OLB for the second half of the season is worth more than a 6th WR, 5th/6th DE, or 5th S.

The world will not end just like it didn't end during the Great Depression, but lots of people will lose jobs and/or fail to find new ones because of the anti-business, anti-individualist tax policies of your liberal friends. We are looking at a long and painful recession ahead of us, one that could have been avoided and mitigated if politicians and voters alike - both Democraps and Repukelicans - understood basic principles of economics. Oh well.

None of these fake tittied, fake tanned, over-tattooed, bottle blondes that Steely Douche and Co. have been parading around here can TOUCH Audrey's natural beauty. On top of her looks, Audrey was also an incredibly decent person off-screen. For those who like Audrey, you might also like a couple of other favorites of mine: Emmy Zooey

I think you meant 98-0-0 ??!!

...or owning a home.

Not likely, comrade. Very few Americans understand Age of Enlightenment philosophy. Even fewer understand the fundamentals of economics. Thus, we have Obama as our next President.

That, plus he's a gun and God clinger.

9. Norv Turner is their HC.

Yeah, but there goes all the shotgun formations from the playbook.

But my point, which is quite simple, is that raising taxes on the 5% of rich Americans reduces free-flowing capital and inhibits entrepreneurial risk precisely at a time (the beginning of a potentially very serious recession) when both should be increased and encouraged. Also keep in mind that raising taxes on the rich won't necessarily raise revenue if many small businesses quit and the pool of wealthy people shrinks (Laffer Curve idea). An alternative plan to balance the books would be to stop subsidizing the national defense of other nations like the EU and to stop engaging in wars that are not directly related to our national security (i.e., Iraq War). This is something I'm guessing you and I can both agree on?

You are correct in recognizing that nothing in life is exactly fair. You know what's also not exactly fair in life? The fact that some people are born with unique talents that are deemed more valuable to society than the talents of others, via that pesky law of supply and demand. But such is life. And if you are proposing that society should financially reward all talents of every individual equally, then you are proposing Marxism. And if that is your proposal, then at least come out and admit it so we can take this little intellectual debate from there. There's actually nothing at all contradictory with those two positions because it's not an issue of whether the "base" loves or hates the rich. It's an issue of not wanting the government artificially involved in the free market process by rewarding bad behavior and punishing good behavior, with the former encouraging bad business decisions on a macro scale (the economic mess that we have now) and the latter discouraging the kind of economic risk-taking that promotes jobs (what we will have soon under Obama's quasi-socialism). The right wingers seem just as angry with Obama's progressive tax bullsh!t as you and the left wingers have been (and rightfully so, I might add) for the past eight years under GWB. Am I wrong?

The problem is that NFL playbooks can't be like those you see in Tecmo Super Bowl. You can't just have 4 passing plays - all of them slight variations of a Hail Mary pass - and expect to win. Defenses adapt.

I can think of FIVE teams in the NFL more likely to relocate than either the Bills, Vikings, or 49ers: Raiders Chargers Rams Saints Jaguars

Before you pull out the "Hoover Card" on me, first prove that you are not such an intellectual lightweight by explaining how the following were examples of free market capitalism: 1. The Federal Reserve's dramatic increase of the U.S. money supply throughout the 1920's. 2. The passing of the Smoot-Hawley Tariff Act in 1930. 3. Repeal of the Coolidge-Mellon tax cuts in 1932. I'm anxiously waiting.

So the world is going to fall apart if we don't hurry up and socialize any business that is deemed "too big to fail?" Remember when the Bushies said we had to invade every country in the world before they make nukes and attack us? Fear-mongering pot, meet fear-mongering kettle.

Anthony Hargrove? A trade for TG is only a good idea if we can expect Trent to stay healthy for most of the season. JP is too stupid to take advantage of a true pass-catching tight end, assuming the tight end doesn't run Hail Mary routes on every play.

It's "KNOW-it-alls," not "NO-it-alls." I think I may start a new thread with the following title: "Spartacus is a retard?"

What's interesting is that we're the only NFL team to have not played a division rival yet! And we won't do so for another 2 weeks.

Awesome stuff, KRC! Keep it up

Yes. And Chapter 6 should be required reading for all the pro-government pseudo-economists who've been posting here in a frenzy the past few weeks.

Well, he's certainly laughing at you for failing to grasp the point that government intervention is what started this mess. The government forced banks to hand out loans to people who would have otherwise never been eligible to receive them. It's okay, though, because our Constitution lists owning a home as an inalienable right. Doesn't it?
