I'll probably kick some of toward a car. I also haven't visted my Dad in Vegas in awhile. That would not be a good idea

I could hedge it, guarantee me half. I think I’m going to roll the dice though. Call me crazy, but Buffalo was my favorite game of all of them.

So last weekend I hit on a 6 team parlay betting football, total bet was $200 for over $11,000. I never do big parlays, but I loved the card last weekend and things actually worked out. Needless to say I was thrilled. I cash out the majority, and left $1000 in the sportsbook. This weekend I say what the hell, and make another ridiculously unlikely 7 team parlay bet. This time $100 for $12,000. With the early NCAA games finished I've won 6 of the 7, with only BUFFALO left tomorrow. I'm not counting on anything, but holy hell will I be one happy SOB if the Bills win by 4 or more tomorrow.

Exactly. In Michigan it's down right cool to be a Wolverine fan right now. I'm sure it's that way in any area when the home team is doing well. You know, the type of fans that talk about how much they care, and when the team losses they don't give it a second thought. I never wanted anything to do with being cool in that regard. I live and die with the Bills who are probably the most uncool team in the NFL. I think being such dorks of the NFL actually unites our fan base and makes us more fanatical.

What are you basing your opinion on Gandy from? He played almost all G in college, was drafted by the Bears, and played several games at G. They switched him over to T, which is the same position the Bills kept him at. Now he's being switched back to G for the Bills. What we know is he was young and not very expensive when we signed him. Despite that he didn't receive any offer from Chicago. We also know his time at LT in Buffalo has resulted in him being switched back to G. I don't see how any of this points to him being a legit LG prospect. Sadly he's still one of Buffalo's better linemen. Being such a versatile player he would be great for depth on a good line.

The Bills moved JP to LT for the time being. You have to think Buffalo would really like him to work out at LT. Not to mention his skill set is much more suited to LT then RT. He tends to play stiff in the run game, and gets overpowered by larger ends. On the left side his athleticism would work more to his advantage. Many teams try and build power right sides and finesse left sides. We would be in perfect position to do this with Steinbach. What makes me nervous is he's so high profile. The last time Buffalo pursued and won a high price FA was TKO and that was awhile ago. I can't even remember the last time Buffalo pursued and won a high price FA lineman.

Buy the title you would think Belicheck's son was caught shooting herion in his butt cheeks.

LG has been a problem since Brown left, and Gandy isn't the answer. Not after his first stint at LG resulted in him moving to LT. If Peter’s progresses and you add Steinbach next to him we could have one of the most athletic LT/LG combo's in football. Our blindside pass protect would be rock solid and under contract for 4 more years. We've waited for major line upgrades since Wade Phillips. Even the most patient fans can't overlook one more off-season of signing a third tier LG, and little else. Pay the man, and show fans the Bills are willing to commit to building from the inside out.

We think alike Orange, I'll be making a decent wager on the Bills. The bye gave them an extra week to prepare, and also gave them an extra week to hear how bad they suck. They will be as ready for this game as any this year. On the other side the Packers posted two consecutive wins against teams that are worse then the Bills. One in Miami, and the second at home against a mortally wounded Cardinal team. On Wagerline the Packers are being bet at a 63% clip, so people are starting to adjust to the two Packer wins. It looks like a classic trap game.

Buffalo teams get no respect

Would the majority of Buffalo fans micromanage the Sabres if they weren't performing? The answer, unless your a true Sabres fan is no. Being from Michigan I support Michigan teams (Outside of the Bills). When Michigan teams do well all of a sudden EVERYBODY is a diehard fan. That's what I see happening in Buffalo. Obviously the Sabers have real die hards, but unless you’re a true fan of those other sports/teams no amount of success can replace the sinking feeling you get when your true team fails. Even if you say it does.

Season 1 and 2 are the best. The shows still good; it just declines every time I think no F'in way that's possible.

People exist in this world that still think Bledsoe is good?

Oh I agree, especially DL. I just think we can do a lot in FA this off-season, and we will have a high draft choice. Over next year, and the following off-season both lines could be heavily retooled. I'm completely against drafting a QB, but if we can trade for a guy that has a good chance to beat out JP, along with Nail, I’m confident we will eventually solve our QB dilemma. That’s a big piece of the championship puzzle. Plus the improved QB play would alleviate some pressure in the passing game. Prove you can beat the blitz, and you won't see the blitz as often.

Schaub's fine. It would be a bold move, that’s why I don't expect it, but he would be a legitimate prospect. I would deal next years first round pick for him, thinking his presence and the additional help would only make it a mid level pick instead of top 10 this year.

Merriman = Lattamer from the Program.

Holy crap

Over the off-season I said I would look at Schaub for a 1st, 100% for a 2nd. I was practically laughed off the board. Crazy game in Lincoln yesterday huh?

Couldn't one say that about this whole team?

Agree, good post

Your right, Marv sounds like a guy who will yank a heavily invested player, with less then a year and a half of games, for a player with no experience, or a FA that may or may not exist.

Who may or may not work out. But we will have to spend at least 2 years to find out, which costs us a total of 4 years waiting for QB's to develop.

I hope it’s all positioning. Nevada was the first state to pass legislation to try and permit online gaming. They just couldn't do it with the feds in the way. This move was meant to kill the international books and casinos, which would in turn give LV a monopoly on the American market. This is at least one theory I've read, and the one I hope is true.

So many on here just want to cut, or demote Losman. IMO last weeks game against the Lions was a microcosm of the entire situation. I was at the game; he had very few open options in the passing game. You couldn't see that on TV. He made some plays, a highlight one to Parrish. He made some mistakes by throwing a bad INT. I judged his performance as decent considering all the variables. Just not yet good enough to sell me. What keeps me patient with JP is what you would have to admit if you want him benched or cut. You would be saying we can find a QB that can win with an average to below average supporting cast, now, or by 2007. Who's that guy? Nail, a FA, a draft pick? Consider how unlikely it is we can find a QB that can win in this situation from those choices by 2007. Marv doesn't overreact to fan pressure, and considers the long term effects of a move. You can choose to not support JP, but unless a QB falls in our lap he will be a starter in 2007. Given that I'll choose to support him as the starting QB of my team.
