Jauron called a play for the second string QB to roll out with the primary target being a journeyman FB with three career receptions. On the road. In a game you were winning. With 2:06 left. In a game where the RB had 120 rushing yards. And it was 2nd and 5. Egregiously bad call. Jauron should be covered in tar and there should be chickens all over WNY shivering in the cold.

Its unfortunate, but if they're going to go with Edwards as the starter they have the disadvantage of being required to carry a third QB, in addition to a starting calibre second string QB. Not every team carries three QBs, but with Edwards' injury history he's averaging missing a little over 25% of the season. That means for a little over four games out of every season their third string QB will be 2nd on the depth chart. IMO, they need to play Hamdan from here on out to see if he can continue to fill in as the 3rd string QB, but still be capable of being the second string QB for all of the games Edwards will miss due to injury.

Article: 7 Myths about Detroit's Big 3
Johnny Coli replied to stuckincincy's topic in Off the Wall Archives
I tried to find the actual number, but how much money are the foreign car companies saving by assembling their cars on US soil and getting around the import tariffs ? How much of this money is going to the American auto worker in these foreign car plants on US soil? It seems to me that we shouldn't be blasting and begrudging the American workers who happen to have been lucky enough to work in a union shop under a contract agreed to at the bargaining table. Instead we should be blasting the foreign auto makers for paying our American workers wages that are inferior to the industry standard here in the US. Why is Toyota et al allowed to steal from the American auto workers they employ? Why are they allowed to offer an inferior benefit package? Where is the outrage that a set of foreign auto makers are making money off the backs of the American factory worker, right under our noses here on US soil? -
No. I'm saying Trent sucks.

So, apparently Mr. Glass' "concussion" only manifests itself against good teams, and goes into remission against the very bottom of the league. Someone should submit an article to the NE Journal of Medicine, because I think this might be interesting case for physicians world-wide to study.

Looks like JP to get another start this week
Johnny Coli replied to zow2's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Why waste the time on a guy who can't play for a good portion of the season? Since week four last season, once he became the undisputed starter on this team, Edwards has missed (including this next game) 7.5 games out of a possible 27 played. He's missed 27.7% of the games. Projected over a 16 game season he'd be missing over a quarter of it. I haven't looked at the NFL average, but I don't see why you make a guy the undisputed franchise QB and the leader of a Pro Football team if he's cheering from a whirlpool, a neck brace, and/or a pair of crutches for 25% of your season. Can we expect a slight regression every time he misses a couple of games with a boo-boo? Does he need a mini pre-season every time he gets injured, which looks like it's going to be quite a bit? He already has a hard time playing in inclement weather, which is another 25% of the season. Should we hope he get's injured and misses the four games in December every year? Maybe we're just not supposed to think about it. -

It just means Mr. Glass is still hurt, and they haven't been statistically eliminated yet. Plus, Hamden won't be the second-string guy here next season, anyway. The new coaching regime or Jauron will bring in a vet to compete/push Trent and his groin/concussion/hangnail. Don't sweat it. Losman will be in a different uniform next season. -
Maybe you'll get to see a W. In the Jauroniverse every season ends 7-9, so with a 6-7 record and 3 games left you've got a 1 in 3 chance of seeing one.

I'd probably bail on the NFL if/when the Bills move. But when I decided to give the game another chance it would probably be the Seattle Seahawks. I have family in that area, love the city, really like their stadium, and no one would be able to accuse me of jumping onto a winning organization's bandwagon. Not a bad weekend of football for the handfull of games I'd fly out to see...Vancouver is there, the stadium they play in is downtown, pretty decent drinking town. Yup. If the Jauron's fold up tent, I'll wait a season or two and start following the 'Hawks.

Ralph calls the SF loss "the worst performance
Johnny Coli replied to bananathumb's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Egos. They got where they are because of a system, and hell or high water they're going to try and make it work. The good ones run a system they think works, but tweek it here and there for the players they have until they can get the players they want. The bad ones run it no matter who is on the roster. The Bills have had a string of bad ones...inexperienced coordinators bumped up to head coaching positions and out to prove their system works, and now a veteran head coach who's system has never worked but he's too clever by half to try anything else. That's my take, the caveat being I'm a bacteriologist and never played a down of professional football. -
The baked potato is overkill, IMO.

Ralph calls the SF loss "the worst performance
Johnny Coli replied to bananathumb's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I've thought the same since Edwards was benched, oops, hurt in the end of the first half last week. It lends itself to a certain ironic sense of historical symmetry, as this is exactly what happened to Losman by Mularkey in 2005. All predicated that Edwards isn't actually hurt, of course. -
First Edwards with his fake groin injury, and now Lynch with this phantom back injury. Has Jauron no shame?

If you'd bother to check, PP offers a great deal of services. They also happen to provide access to women who choose to terminate an unwanted pregnancy. Personally, I find the fact that a person can buy a gun in a store like Wal-Mart distasteful. But its not against the law. PP offers a service which you find distasteful, but its not against the law. The gift certificate offered by Wal-Mart or Planned Parenthood can be spent on any item in Wal-Mart, or for any service offered by Planned Parenthood.

The intolerant bigotry of the liberal left
Johnny Coli replied to stuckincincy's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
Creationism is not science. Intelligent design is not science. As a scientist I see zero reason to tolerate people trying to equate their superstitions with actual science. And yes, zoos are absolutely conducting scientific research. You freaking idiots. -
Went to look at the new Verizon smartphones
Johnny Coli replied to PromoTheRobot's topic in Off the Wall Archives
You're an old fuddy-duddy! I have no idea how I got by without the iPhone. It really is everything it is advertised as, and more. When they ever add an app to read pdf's or Office word/excel/pp files and give you the capability to cut/paste, then I'd have no use for my desktop or laptop. -
Saw this last night. Very funny. Great cast.

Outstanding. Wonder how much Dave Hill sold that suit to Frehley for.

My all-time favorite X-mas song is by the Yobs, C.H.R.I.S.T.M.A.S./Gloria. Fabulously raunchy, and from an entire LP of punk Christmas songs the Yobs put out in 1980. Great stuff. --------- Slightly OT from the X-mas theme, but for the curious (you might as well learn a bit of rock trivia), the Yobs were an alt-band of the Boys, a pretty popular late-70s british punk group. Here is their cover of The Hollywood Brats' . Their keyboard player, Casino Steel was in the Hollywood Brats, a NY Dolls-type glam-punk band from the early 70s, and the Brats' singer, Andy Matheson guests on a couple of the Yobs songs (he's on the Run Rudolf Run cut, sadly not up on Youtube...I should upload it myself). Anyway, here's the Brats' version of Sick on You. I vary between which version I like more. Right now I like the Brats' version better, 'cause the guitars are jumping out at you and it was just so different for the time it was released, but the Boys' version has its merits--most notably its a bit faster with a bit more energy and to the point like a lot of the British punk coming out at the same time ('77).

Plaxico Burress And The Second Amendment

He'd have to argue that the law infringes upon his right to carry a conceled, loaded, unlicensed handgun. Pretty sure that brief wouldn't get too far. -
JP will lead Bills to win against Dolphins
Johnny Coli replied to Chuckknox's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Losman actually has a pretty good record against Miami and the Jets over the past three years. Total, he's 5-2 (3-1 vs Miami, 2-1 vs Jets), with 11 TDs and 3 INTs. That loss to Miami was in 2005 when Miami scored 21 points in the 4th quarter. I like Losman's odds in this game, especially if he's taking all the 1st team snaps in practice. That said, if Edwards is healthy he should start, as Losman is gone at the end of the season and we have to see just how bad Edwards is to decide what to do in the off-season. -
I wonder what Bobby April knows about football.
Johnny Coli replied to Lv-Bills's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I really don't think a guy that has been a ST coordinator for the past seventeen years screams head coach potential. He either doesn't want to move up, or he's about as high up the chain as he's capable of moving.
