"It's short...for Barfolamu!" BTW, the JMF, as the first person ever to up vote me twice, within seconds of each, I have candy for you. It is in my van.

That's a low blow, JMF.

I should be coaching somewhere. I know lots of stuff about football and make great points about what plays teams should be calling before they snap the ball. I am a channel clicker, though.

I don't think they can win the Super Bowl with even Chargers or the Texans in the mix. I am not trying to denigrate your response, UJ, I just really think that although they are winning often, like the Patriots, they are going on fumes. I think they are very beatable when push comes to shove time. Case in point last year, J'Ville had no business doing what they did to them in the post season, in Pittsburgh.

He played for 4 NFL teams, drafted by Seattle, but what uniform do they show him wearing in the picture? Ah, good. The Streak continues. How is it that every NFL guy that gets into trouble has a picture of himself in a Bills jersey circulated globally?

Well said, May Day. Agree with most everything. However, I have this feeling that if they lose at Pittsburgh in a few weeks that maybe 12-4 may not be good enough..Normal it should be but I bet there is an outside chance of Pitt going 12-3-1, or a potential tie-break with Houston at 12-4. If I am wrong then I hope they lose at least one more to be at 11-5. I think no first round bye, but a potential strong playoff showing (loss in Championship game?) could push Brady, either way. Is it a good way to go out given where him and the team are? or Is it enough success for him to give it one more go and he wants to at least go out with another super bowl appearance? Unfortunately I don't think it works out for him if he sticks around for next year. I seriously see the possibility of a 10 win, or even 9 win season and maybe making the playoffs but with an easy and early out. That would not be a "success" for him. It would be actually watching him get old before our eyes. I know I am biased as a Bills fan, but he has been so good for so long that he should go out relatively as he has been for the last 15 years...on top.

UB is a three point dog tonight. you, Vegas.

That is the best thing for the Pats, now. The thing is they should have done the best thing for the Pats before...let Billy trade Brady to get some pretty decent value for him last year and prep Jimmy Garops to take over and lead this year. Seriously, regardless of their super bowl appearance that was a big mistake on Kraft's part...stopping Belichek. EDIT: they trusted him enough to do it with Bledsoe and look at how that worked out. He did it with Bernie in Cleveland, too. They should have trusted him with cutting the cord on Brady. No matter how much Billy likes his best dog he has no problem taking it out back behind the woodshed and shooting it in the head.

honestly, Juice, about 1/3 of us were disappointed when we didn't retain him, and the same 1/3 wanted him signed when he came available. However, yes, someone didn't actually bring it up very recently.

You're telling me, ctk. I think some of my hair is growing back! (on my head, freaks!)

What the hell is going on?! It's like I am fired up about this team, right now, for the rest of the season. I don't think they stand a chance at making the playoffs, but with all the moves lately, the win on Sunday and an attractive, homeward bound heavy schedule the second half of the season I am dying to see this team win some games. Check List Going Forward: 1. Give Allen a ton of snaps. 2. Get to at least 8-8 3. Keep the Defense at number 1 4. Draft 10 guys 5. Sign free agents with a chunk of that 80+ million Dollars 6. Watch Tom Brady turn 42 going into next season.

Seriously, man, I got to stop. I am running completely out of thumbs up today!

Finally one of my prayers (lesser ones, mind you ) is answered. Is he great? No Does he work hard, fit The Process and give you everything he has? Yes Does it show-up on the field? IT DOES A WHOLE HELL OF OF A LOT MORE THAN IT DOES WITH BENJAMIN!

CB, it's a far cry from: 1. Someone like Peterman having to tell Benjamin before the snap where to line up (which has happened on more than one occasion). 2. Someone like Benjamin not knowing how to block...or even almost any of them (don't get me started). Sorry for detouring into something that is bugging me.

Oh boy, what a big surprise that Woods is a good blocker. He only did that almost all the time while he was here. ...such an under-noticed but valuable trait for a WR in this league. Not far behind: RBs who can pick up blitzes.

BTW, I seem to a remember a little game between the K-Gun Offense and the West Coast Offense in the Bay area during the '91 season that was pretty darn good and didn't have any punts. Let me get back to you on who played in that game.

teef, it really has been interesting to watch Rochester just plain grow the way it has, even supplanting Buffalo in some areas, both living standard wise and from an economic development standpoint. Even though, Buffalo has been growing recently, too.

Just saying, even if they are not in it, what if the Bills come home for the finale and they are 8-7 going against the Dolphins? The ralph will be rocking.

I swear to you, teef, I was just noticing that when looking at the list. What a difference an hour on the NYS thruway makes. I also don't know if that is a great move for you. You are likely going to have to pay some sort of alimony. Let's throw on top of that moving expenses. Do you have kids, too? I love kids, but then you are going to have to likely find someone that has kids as well so that is maybe cutting opportunities down right there. Then you have to explain why you got divorced, and then they are going to be all like, "What a loser. He's not going to commit to me." Then you are going to be depressed because you realize what a mistake this all was and you are going to think about how much you miss your wife, but she's moved on to somebody richer and better looking. However, if you were just joking forget all of this.

Pffft....slacker. What the hell happened in '94 for him to miss a game? Congrats, Ken. I love this. I am envious of such devout dedication to the team. Never change, buddy!

@PromoTheRobot Dammit, PTR, we are just plain better than Ohio. The hell with the preseason rankings and what a tough out they have been, and the hell with UB's weaknesses. We are going to their pool and there is blood in the water. LET'S GO KILL SOMEBODY AND COME BACK 10-1!!!!!!!

ohhhhhhhhh, proof...yes. I concur. Please somebody come in with proof!!!!

Yeah, and I know everyone loves the Rams defense, but lately...why? They haven't been shutting down good offenses at all. Love the Rams, but love the Chiefs, too. Give me the AFC on this one.

been good a lot times, but doesn't get enough credit for the brief run as Robert DeNiro's character in the TV movie versions/sequels of Midnight Run

Ya know, Flip, it is not unreasonable to think they can legitimately count on that same line for another 2 years, possibly 3. That is an eternity in the NFL. However, obviously from left to right some consideration should at least be given on how to back up those roles.
